Comparisons Featuring BLU Amour
Short Review
- The BLU Amour features a compact design with dimensions of 128 x 65.5 x 11.6 mm and a weight of 137 grams, making it lightweight and easy to handle.
- Its 4.0-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 233 ppi, suitable for basic tasks but lacking HDR support.
- Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6577 chipset with a dual-core 1.0 GHz Cortex-A9 CPU and 4GB of RAM, which provides adequate functionality for everyday use.
- The camera system includes a 5 MP rear camera capable of recording video at 480p@30fps, while the front lacks a selfie camera.
- The 1600 mAh battery supports basic usage but does not offer fast or wireless charging options.
- Running on Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), the software experience is dated, lacking modern features and updates.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 3.0, and microUSB 2.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The phone is available in a single white color and does not feature water resistance.
- Overall, the BLU Amour is a basic smartphone with essential features suitable for users with minimal demands.
- Its design and performance reflect its entry-level status in the market.
