Comparisons Featuring BLU Dash M2
Short Review
- The BLU Dash M2 features a compact design with dimensions of 145 x 73.4 x 9.8 mm and a weight of 172 grams, available in multiple colors including Black, Gold, White, and Rose Gold.
- It sports a 5.0-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, providing a pixel density of approximately 196 ppi, though it lacks HDR support.
- Performance is driven by a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 4GB of RAM, which is adequate for basic tasks but may struggle with more demanding applications.
- The camera system includes a 5 MP rear camera capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps and a 2 MP front-facing camera for selfies.
- The 2000 mAh battery offers basic longevity but does not support fast or wireless charging.
- Running on Android 6.0 Marshmallow, the software experience is straightforward, though it may be limited by its age.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device features a microUSB 2.0 port and retains a headphone jack for audio.
- Overall, the BLU Dash M2 is a simple, functional smartphone suitable for everyday use.
