Comparisons Featuring BLU Dash 5.0
Short Review
- The BLU Dash 5.0 features a simple design with dimensions of 146 x 70.6 x 9.4 mm and a weight of 128 grams, available in multiple colors.
- Its 5.0-inch TFT display has a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 196 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks vibrancy.
- Performance is driven by a dual-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 processor and 4GB of RAM, providing limited multitasking capabilities.
- The Mali-400 GPU supports basic graphics, suitable for casual gaming and media playback.
- The rear camera is 5 MP, capable of recording video at 720p@30fps, while the front lacks a selfie camera.
- Battery life is supported by a 2000 mAh capacity, though it does not offer fast or wireless charging options.
- Running on Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean), the software experience is dated and may not support newer apps.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it lacks 5G and NFC capabilities.
- The absence of water resistance and stereo speakers limits its appeal for some users.
- Overall, the BLU Dash 5.0 serves basic smartphone functions but falls short in performance and features compared to more modern devices.
