Below-par camera, Even worse camera apps, Where's Android 6.0 Marshmallow
BQ Aquaris X5 – Battery For such a small, thin and all-round dinky phone, BQ has managed to cram in a pretty hefty battery into the Aquaris X5. The 2,900mAh cell is considerably larger than, say, the 1,715mAh version that powers the iPhone 6S. In fact, it...
We suspect that it will take more than UV resistance and CyanogenOS for the Aquaris X5 to take the UK by storm, but at the very least BQ seems to have ticked all the boxes for a mass-appeal smartphone: decent specs, sharp design and an affordable price...
Attractive price, dualSIM, expandable memory, very good battery, Security features on Cyanogen great
Underpowered camera, locked to O2, performance is a bit hit/miss, Video and audio recording temperamental
A budget handset with a great battery, the Aquaris X5 boasts of good build quality and all the smarts Cyanogen OS has to offer. It is unfortunately let down by its tiny internal memory, unintuitive camera and the Android 5.1 operating system. The under-£2...

Sub, par camera software/processing, Screen a little oversaturated, Entry, level CPU, So, so speaker, Non, Gorilla Glass screen protection
You may not know the name, but this is one of the best affordable mid-range phones around, largely thanks to its very nice design and great battery life. A very accomplished effort...
Impressive design and build, Cyanogen, reliable performance and stamina,
Disappointing camera, average screen, Should You Buy It
If you're after a souped-up Android experience on a budget, yes. The BQ Aquaris X5 is available from O2 for £19.50 a month after an initial £9.99 fee, and for that, you get 500 minutes, unlimited texts and 500MB of 4G data, though you can also find it for...

Competitively priced, Decent photos, Slim and premium feel, 5 year warranty which isn't voided with boot loader unlocking
No 802.11ac WiFi, Lowres, 720p display, Not particularly futureproof
I think it's fantastic to see more manufacturers like BQ gaining ground and taking on the big companies. As an engineer, I also have a soft spot for companies that try to promote creativity and education in electronics. Overall, the BQ Aquaris X5 is a...

Sharp, attractive screen, Cyanogen OS, Long battery life
Iffy performance, Inferior cameras
The BQ Aquaris X5 costs £19.50 a month from O2, where it's exclusively stocked. For that price you get an attractive HD screen and solid battery life plus the feature-packed Cyanogen OS, although performance could be better and the 13-megapixel camera is...
