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.
