DESIGN AND BUILD QUALITY
BQ’s latest flagship redefines premium aesthetics with aerospace-grade aluminum framing and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 3, achieving IP68 water/dust resistance. The ergonomic curvature ensures a secure grip, while the matte-finish back panel resists fingerprints. Available in Nebula Black, Lunar Silver, and Mars Red, the device features precision-milled tactile buttons and symmetrical bezels. At 7.1mm thin and 188g, it balances durability with portability. The under-display fingerprint sensor doubles as a heart-rate monitor, exemplifying BQ’s fusion of elegance and functionality.
DISPLAY: A VISUAL FEAST
A 6.8-inch Fluid AMOLED Pro screen dominates the front, boasting 2K resolution (3200 x 1440 pixels), 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, and 2500-nit peak brightness. HDR10+ certification and 100% DCI-P3 coverage deliver cinematic color accuracy. BQ’s proprietary CinematicVision Engine dynamically upscales content, while 1440Hz PWM dimming reduces eye strain. The LTPO 4.0 panel intelligently shifts from 1Hz for static content to 120Hz for gaming, conserving battery. Gorilla Glass DX+ provides scratch resistance, making this display both immersive and resilient.
PERFORMANCE: POWERHOUSE UNDER THE HOOD
Fueled by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset (4nm architecture) and Adreno 750 GPU, the device handles AAA gaming and multitasking effortlessly. Paired with 12GB LPDDR5X RAM (expandable to 20GB via virtual RAM) and UFS 4.0 storage (256GB/512GB), apps launch instantly, and 4K video editing runs smoothly. BQ’s FrostCool 3.0 thermal system—a vapor chamber, graphite sheets, and AI-driven fan control—keeps temperatures sub-40°C during intensive tasks. Benchmark scores exceed 1.5M on AnTuTu, cementing its position among performance elites.
CAMERA SYSTEM: CAPTURING LIFE IN STUNNING DETAIL
A quad-camera array features a 50MP main sensor (1/1.28″, f/1.7) with OIS, a 48MP ultra-wide (122° FoV), a 64MP periscope telephoto (5x optical/100x digital zoom), and a 12MP macro lens. BQ’s NightSight 3.0 algorithm combines pixel-binning and multi-frame processing for luminous low-light shots. The 32MP front camera supports 4K HDR selfies. AI-driven modes include Astro Hyperlapse, Portrait Video Bokeh, and Director View for simultaneous multi-lens recording. Pro-grade 8K/30fps video with Dolby Vision elevates content creation.
SOFTWARE: INTUITIVE AND USER-FRIENDLY
Running PureOS 5.0 (based on Android 14), BQ delivers a bloatware-free experience with 4 years of OS updates. The ZenUI interface focuses on minimalism: customizable Always-On Display, gesture-based navigation, and a digital wellbeing dashboard. AI features like Contextual Awareness adapt settings based on location/time, while BQ Modes (Work, Relax, Game) optimize resource allocation. Security is fortified with monthly patches, encrypted folders, and a privacy auditor blocking app trackers. Seamless integration with BQ’s ecosystem (tablets, earbuds) enhances productivity.
BATTERY LIFE: ALL-DAY ENDURANCE
A 5500mAh silicon-anode battery supports 100W wired charging (0–100% in 18 minutes) and 50W wireless charging. AI Battery Saver 3.0 extends longevity by learning usage patterns and throttling background processes. Reverse charging powers accessories at 10W. In testing, the device achieved 14 hours of screen-on time (mixed use) and 32 hours of talk time. Battery health algorithms prevent degradation, maintaining 80% capacity after 1,000 cycles.
UNIQUE FEATURES: BEYOND THE ORDINARY
BQ integrates a dedicated NPU for on-device AI tasks, enabling real-time language translation and voice cloning for accessibility. The Ultrasonic Pen 2.0 (sold separately) offers 4,096 pressure levels and magnetic attachment for note-taking. Haptic Touch 3.0 provides contextual feedback—simulating button presses in games or guitar strings in music apps. Eco-conscious packaging uses 100% recycled materials, while the modular design allows user-replaceable components (battery, ports) via certified repair hubs.
CONNECTIVITY AND AUDIO
Cutting-edge 5G (Sub-6GHz/mmWave), Wi-Fi 7, and Bluetooth 5.3 ensure lag-free connectivity. Dual nano-SIM slots and eSIM support global roaming. Spatial audio via dual front-firing speakers (tuned by Dolby Atmos) and Hi-Res Wireless certification deliver concert-hall acoustics. The USB-C 3.2 port enables desktop mode, projecting a PC-like interface to monitors. NFC, UWB for device tracking, and Galileo GPS enhance versatility.
GAMING AND AR EXPERIENCE
Game Turbo 5.0 optimizes CPU/GPU allocation, reduces touch latency to 8ms, and enables 4D vibration for recoil feedback. Cloud Gaming Hub streams titles via Xbox/GeForce Now at 120fps. Augmented Reality capabilities leverage the ToF sensor for room scanning—enabling virtual furniture placement or interactive museum tours through BQ’s AR World app.
SUSTAINABILITY AND ETHICAL PRACTICES
BQ’s “EcoPledge” includes 75% recycled cobalt in batteries, conflict-free minerals, and carbon-neutral shipping. The device is repairability-scored 9.1/10 by iFixit, with spare parts available globally. Software updates extend to 2030, combating e-waste. A tree is planted for every purchase via BQ’s reforestation initiative.
PRICING AND AVAILABILITY
Launching globally on October 15, the device starts at €799 (256GB). Pre-orders include BQ’s Gravity 2 wireless earbuds. Carrier partnerships offer 24-month 0% financing. Trade-in programs grant up to €300 discount for older devices, with a lifetime cloud backup subscription included.
USER EXPERIENCE AND ERGONOMICS
The 3D curved display ensures edge-to-edge interaction, while OneHand+ mode shrinks the UI for thumb access. Haptic sliders adjust volume/camera zoom with tactile precision. VoiceMatch recognizes up to 5 users for personalized AI assistance. DropShield certification guarantees survival from 1.8m falls, and the pre-applied hydrogel film resists micro-scratches.
AI INNOVATIONS AND FUTURE-PROOFING
BQ’s Aura AI assistant processes requests offline (e.g., photo searches by object), while Predictive Maintenance alerts users to potential hardware issues. The Neural SDK lets developers harness the NPU for app optimization. Satellite SOS connectivity ensures emergency access in remote areas, and blockchain-secured digital IDs replace physical documents.
