BQ phones: complete catalog and best price

Despite not being the firm with the most extensive catalog on the mobile scene, BQ maintains a varied and exciting range of devices throughout the year, whose renewal does not occur until it is strictly necessary. Several months have passed since the last launch of the Spanish firm, and the latest news related to the company was that it announced the change in the direction of BQ after 51% of the capital was acquired by the Vietnamese group Vingroup.

Even so, in the middle of 2019, the BQ catalog is more alive than ever, and among the models that make up the different families of the brand’s terminals, we can find great options belonging to the mid-range and low-end segments. For this reason, as we have already done with Samsung, Huawei and Xiaomi, today we will take a closer look at all the BQ mobiles that can be purchased.

All BQ mobiles: features, specifications, and prices

BQ Aquaris X2 and X2 Pro

The current leaders of the catalog of the firm founded in Las Rozas de Madrid. The BQ Aquaris X2 and X2 Pro, presented in May 2018, landed on the market, hitting the table by placing themselves at the top of the mid-premium range through a careful design, cutting-edge specifications, and a capable photographic system. to stand up to the best models in its segment. All this, in addition, added to the advantages provided by Google’s Android One program, as this pair of phones became the company’s second installment under the umbrella of Android One.

Their starting prices were 299 and 379 euros depending on the chosen model. However, the passing of the months and the depreciation have meant that this duo of mid-range phones can be obtained for much less, despite still being two excellent alternatives that have little to envy other more recent terminals.

BQ Aquaris VS y VS Plus

Going down a step, we find two more affordable models than the Aquaris X2 and X2 Pro, which undoubtedly maintain the essence of the rest of the firm’s terminals. The Aquaris VS and VS Plus are located in the low and mid-low range segment, with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 processor, 5.2-inch screens, and 12-megapixel rear cameras.

Since these two phones were launched before the X2 and X2 Pro, the price drop is even more notable in this family, and we can get both terminals for less than 200 euros each.

BQ Aquaris V and V Plus

Nor do we forget the Aquaris V and V Plus, two models — which we were able to test at the time — whose design shares similarities with the VS and VS Plus. However, they introduce differences in the technical section, such as the processor, which happens to be the Snapdragon 435, or the size of their screens, of 5 and 5.5 inches for the standard model and “Plus,” respectively.

Since its inception, they stood out for having a reduced price, but as with the rest of the models examined so far, in both cases, we will be able to find much lower figures than those of their launch in the most popular stores.

BQ Aquaris C

After testing and analyzing it thoroughly, the BQ Aquaris C became one of our favorite low-end phones of 2018 for being able to offer a pleasant experience despite its price, close to 150 euros, and despite having humble specs.

Today, knowing that it can be had at an even lower price, the Aquaris C remains in our selection of the best low-end phones of 2019 .

BQ Aquaris U2 and U2 Lite

Before the Aquaris C itself, the Aquaris U2 and U2 Lite, two entry-level phones that share a chassis but differ in the mobile platform on which they are based: Snapdragon 435 and 425 for the U2 and U2 Lite, respectively.

There are also changes in photography and storage, with the Aquaris U2 being superior in all respects. There are not many more differences between this pair of cheap mobiles for the rest.
