Comparisons Featuring BLU Advance 4.0
Short Review
- The BLU Advance 4.0 features a compact design with dimensions of 125 x 65 x 12.4 mm and a weight of 124 grams, making it easy to handle.
- Its 4.0-inch TFT display has a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 233 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks.
- Performance is driven by a dual-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 processor and 4GB of RAM, suitable for light usage but limited for multitasking.
- The rear camera is 5 MP, capable of recording video at 720p, while the front lacks a selfie camera.
- The battery capacity is 1600 mAh, providing basic longevity but no fast or wireless charging options.
- Running on Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean), the software experience is dated but functional for essential applications.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, with no support for 5G or NFC.
- The device comes in black and white, but lacks water resistance and premium materials.
