The Blade X1 is an affordable 5G phone on Visible's already cheap rate plan

What you need to know

Visible is launching the new Blade X1 5G, the latest in the Blade smartphone lineup.
The Blade X1 5G comes with a FHD+ display, quad-camera setup, and Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G.
Visible customers can purchase the Blade X1 5G starting today for just $384.

Visible is doing its best to make itself seen in the mobile industry for having one of the best prepaid plans for those on a budget. Our Joe Maring was actually quite impressed with the offerings and service in his Visible review. The carrier piggybacks on Verizon's nationwide 4G LTE network and recently began to support 5G for Android smartphones on its network, giving customers even faster data for the same $40 price. To celebrate this momentous occasion, Visible has launched its latest smartphone, the Blade X1 5G, built by ZTE with great specs and an affordable price.

The newest addition to the Blade family comes with a more modern design to match the more modern network, featuring a large 6.5-inch FHD+ display with a punch-hole selfie camera. It's made of durable plastic with blue luminescent streaks on the rear, which come to life when hit by the sun, a stark contrast to the device's Midnight color tone.

On the back, you'll find a read fingerprint sensor, along with the quad-camera setup. The main sensor is 48MP, with an 8MP ultra-wide-angle and two 2MP auxiliary sensors. The punch-hole up front houses a 16MP camera for selfies. Since Visible is focusing on gaming and entertainment with this device, the Blade X1 5G comes with DTS:X Ultra for a powerful, spatial audio experience, as well as DTS:X 3D audio support. Users can customize their listening experience in the settings to match different content scenarios. And yes, there is a headphone jack.

Powering the Blade X1 5G is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G, which, along with the Adreno 620 GPU, powered many of the best cheap Android phones last year, along with several flagship devices. With 6GB of RAM and 128GB of expandable storage, the Blade X1 5G should be able to keep up with all your entertainment needs, and the large 4000mAh battery supports Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 for a quick top-up.

The new Visible Blade X1 5G is available starting today for $384 or just $16 a month and can be purchased through Visible's website. If you sign up and port your number from an eligible carrier, you can score a $150 MasterCard gift card and an Amazon Fire TV stick. You can also find more information about the deal on the Visible Website.

More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
