Bluefox NX1 with Android 15, 4” Screen, Sony Camera, and iPhone Look Costs US$ 83 and Bets on the Niche of Compact and Affordable Smartphones.
In a market dominated by increasingly larger smartphones, the Bluefox NX1 emerges as a bold proposal for those who value portability and simplicity. The compact Android smartphone combines a screen of just 4 inches, a design inspired by the iPhone 14 Pro, and honest specifications, all for about US$ 83 in the base version. Far from competing with high-end models, this device aims to win over those looking for a secondary phone, a safe device for children, or simply an easy-to-use gadget with one hand — something increasingly rare.
Compact Design and Surprising Battery
With dimensions of 3.9 x 1.9 x 0.5 inches and weighing just 100 grams, the cheap Bluefox NX1 is smaller than an iPhone 5, yet manages to house a 3,000 mAh battery, surpassing even larger models in capacity.
The plastic body comes in vibrant colors like blue, red, and black, and the use of a USB-C port is an important differentiator in this price range. The thickness of 12.5 mm is the price paid for battery life, but the grip remains comfortable for extended use.

Small Screen, Guaranteed Usability
The 4-inch screen has a resolution of 1168 × 540 pixels (325 ppi), sufficient for basic tasks like social media, messaging, and occasional videos.
The brightness of 500 nits ensures reasonable visibility even under intense light. Inspired by the iPhone design, the NX1 features a 5 MP front camera integrated into a cutout that simulates the “Dynamic Island” of the iPhone 14 Pro, adding personality to the device.
The MediaTek Helio G81 processor, although launched in 2019, delivers adequate performance for browsing, messaging apps, streaming, and light gaming.
The compact Android smartphone is available in two versions: 4 GB of RAM with 64 GB of storage or 8 GB of RAM with 128 GB, both supporting microSD up to 2 TB — an uncommon feature even in more expensive phones.
Sony Camera and Android 15 Out of the Box
The rear camera uses the Sony IMX230 21 MP sensor, capable of producing decent photos in good lighting, although low-light performance is limited.
Another differentiator is the operating system: the Bluefox NX1 comes with Android 15 out of the box, which is rare among affordable devices and ensures longer app and feature support.
4G Connectivity and Extra Features
The model supports 4G LTE networks with dual SIM and bands such as B38, B39, B40, and B41F, which may appeal to travelers or users of specific carriers. In addition to the basics — Wi-Fi and Bluetooth — the device even includes an infrared emitter, a feature increasingly rare even in premium models, allowing control of TVs and other electronics.
Bluefox is a sub-brand of Shenzhen Tailefeng Communications, active since 2014 and focused on the niche of small smartphones. The previous model, GT8 Pro, had already attracted attention for its proposal, and the NX1 is a natural evolution, offering more features without losing the identity of an affordable compact phone.
In China, the cheap Bluefox NX1 costs 599 yuan (~US$ 83) in the basic configuration and 799 yuan (~US$ 111) in the version with more memory.
Combining portability, Android 15, and an aggressive price, the model positions itself as an interesting alternative for those looking to escape from giant screens and return to the practicality of a smartphone that fits in a pocket and a hand.
And you, do you think the return of compact phones can gain space in the current market dominated by large screens?
