A camera that makes the difficult easy
The Aquaris X's rear camera includes everything you need to take photos like a professional. Easily and intuitively. Its 16 MP are accompanied by quick-focus PDAF technology and six Largan lenses with f/2.0 aperture, and the Sony IMX298 sensor has been specifically designed to capture more light. And to make things even easier, Dual Tone Flash, which employs different flash combinations depending on the scene, gets the best results out of each shot.
Capture the moment
Having been redesigned to enhance its performance, our camera application is one of our emblematic products. In addition, we have incorporated new features like Multi-Image Processing technology and ZSL instant shot which, when fused, produce sharper images with less noise and deliver higher quality in low light conditions.
Video in all its splendour
With more than nine million pixels of resolution, you'll be surprised by the quality and true-to-life look of your 4K videos. And if the situation gets a little shaky, we've incorporated the Vidhance* stabiliser, a novel technology that analyses, optimises and renders the image, taking your videos to cinema level. All this with minimal battery drain.
Art and engineering hand in hand
The display has clean lines and subtly embraces the metallic frame, its curved edges a result of the 2.5D glass. Inspired by automotive technology, more than a dozen industrial processes are needed to model and create a perfect curvature. A fingerprint scanner is subtly integrated into the rear, and the contoured and polished edges are precision crafted thanks to CNC (Computer Numerical Control) technology. We can tell you about it, but it's not the same as seeing it.
Touch reality
Quantum Color + technology has never shone so brightly. Enjoy more than 16.5 million colours on a 5.2" screen that has FHD resolution and up to 650 nits of brightness. Its LTPS screen is thinner and more efficient thanks to In-Cell technology, which combines the LCD with the touch-sensor layer and also provides a greater viewing angle. The result: spectacular, true-to-life images.
Taking battery life to the next level
BQ is synonymous with battery life, and with the Aquaris X, even more so. Its 3100 mAh battery, paired with energy efficient components, lasts up to 20% longer than previous models. Browse the web for more than ten hours or watch your favourite series for more than 11 hours straight 1 . And thanks to the Quick Charge 3.0 feature you can get up to 50% battery life with just a 30 minute charge.
Maximum performance with optimal efficiency
Our aim with the Aquaris X is to achieve maximum power with minimal battery consumption. We have accomplished this with the Qualcomm® SnapdragonTM 626 processor, which reduces battery consumption by more than 68%* thanks to its 14 nm internal architecture and its eight A53 cores. Furthermore, we have increased the frequency to 2.2 GHz so as to boost its performance with respect to other processors and we have opted for 3GB of RAM in order to provide a much faster and fluid experience with apps, videos and streaming.
Vibrant, detailed sound
Enjoy the purest sound. Its speaker is equipped with an NXP smart amplifier and the earphones deliver high fidelity sound that is vibrant, clear and rich, with a distortion level below 0.006% at maximum volume. It also includes the aptX™ codec for Bluetooth which offers a multi-device audio experience without limits.
With Android Nougat
Enjoy the best of Android Nougat on your BQ. Multi-window view lets you have two apps open simultaneously, night light mode reduces the blue light from the screen helping you rest and notifications are now bundled, more interactive and you can respond directly from them.
