Short Review

  • The BLU Dash 4.0 features a compact design with dimensions of 124 x 63 x 11.8 mm and a weight of 128 grams, making it lightweight and portable.
  • Its 4.0-inch TFT display has a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, providing a pixel density of approximately 233 ppi, suitable for basic tasks but lacking HDR support.
  • Performance is driven by a dual-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and Mediatek MT6572 chipset, paired with 4GB of storage and 512MB of RAM, which may limit multitasking capabilities.
  • The rear camera offers 5 MP resolution with 720p video recording at 30fps, while the front lacks a selfie camera.
  • The battery capacity is 1500 mAh, which is modest and does not support fast or wireless charging.
  • Running on Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean), the software experience may feel outdated compared to newer versions.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, and microUSB 2.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The device is available in black and white colors, though it lacks water resistance.
  • Overall, the BLU Dash 4.0 is a basic smartphone with essential features suitable for light usage.
