Comparisons Featuring BLU Dash Music
Short Review
- The BLU Dash Music features a compact design with dimensions of 124 x 63 x 13.4 mm and a weight of 120g, making it lightweight and portable.
- Its 3.5-inch TFT display has a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 165 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks sharpness.
- Performance is driven by a Qualcomm MSM7225A Snapdragon S1 chipset, a 1.0 GHz Cortex-A5 CPU, and 512MB of RAM, which may struggle with multitasking and demanding applications.
- The rear camera is limited to 2 MP, capable of recording video at 480p@30fps, while the front lacks a selfie camera.
- The 1500mAh battery provides basic power but does not support fast charging or wireless options.
- Running on Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), the software is outdated and lacks modern features.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 3.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device includes a microUSB 2.0 port and a headphone jack, catering to basic audio needs.
- Overall, the BLU Dash Music is a simple device suitable for essential functions, but it falls short in performance and camera capabilities.
- Special features are minimal, with no water resistance or stereo speakers.
