Short Review
- The BLU Dash 3.5 features a compact design with dimensions of 115 x 62 x 11.5 mm and a weight of 110 grams, making it lightweight and easy to handle.
- Its 3.5-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 165 ppi, suitable for basic tasks but lacking in sharpness.
- Performance is powered by a dual-core 1.0 GHz Cortex-A7 processor and 512MB of RAM, which may struggle with multitasking and demanding applications.
- The rear camera is 3.15 MP, allowing for basic photography, but it lacks features like optical image stabilization and a front-facing camera.
- The 1300 mAh battery provides limited endurance and does not support fast or wireless charging.
- Running on Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean), the software experience is outdated compared to current standards.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device is available in black and white, offering minimal aesthetic choices.
- Overall, the BLU Dash 3.5 is a basic smartphone with essential features, suitable for users with minimal needs.
- Its specifications reflect its release in 2012, making it less competitive in today's market.
