Comparisons Featuring BLU Dash 4.5
Short Review
- The BLU Dash 4.5 features a compact design with dimensions of 133 x 65 x 12 mm and a weight of 144 grams, making it easy to handle.
- It sports a 4.5-inch TFT display with a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 218 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6589M chipset with a quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 4GB of RAM, providing basic multitasking capabilities.
- The 5 MP rear camera captures images at 720p@30fps, but lacks optical image stabilization and a front-facing camera.
- The 2000 mAh battery supports standard charging but does not offer wireless charging options.
- Running on Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean), the software experience is relatively dated compared to current standards.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 3.0, and microUSB 2.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device does not feature water resistance and is available only in black.
- Overall, the BLU Dash 4.5 is a basic smartphone suitable for essential tasks.
- Its specifications reflect its 2013 release, positioning it as a simple entry-level device.
