Comparisons Featuring BLU Dash M

Short Review

  • The BLU Dash M features a compact design with dimensions of 145.2 x 73.2 x 9.1 mm and a weight of 157 grams, available in black, white, gold, and mint green.
  • Its 5.0-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 196 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks.
  • Performance is driven by a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 4GB of RAM, though the 4GB of internal storage may limit app installations.
  • The rear camera is 5 MP, capable of recording 720p video at 30fps, while the 2 MP front camera is suitable for basic selfies.
  • The battery capacity is 1800 mAh, which is modest and lacks fast or wireless charging options.
  • Running on Android 5.0 (Lollipop), the software experience is basic and may not support the latest apps.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The absence of stereo speakers and the presence of a headphone jack are notable features.
  • Overall, the BLU Dash M is a straightforward device with essential functionalities.
  • Its build quality is adequate for everyday use, but it lacks advanced features found in more modern smartphones.
