Comparisons Featuring BLU Dash Music 4.0
Short Review
- The BLU Dash Music 4.0 features a compact design with dimensions of 124 x 64 x 11.7 mm and a weight of 128g, making it lightweight and easy to handle.
- Its 4.0-inch TFT display has a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 233 ppi, suitable for basic tasks but lacking in sharpness for detailed visuals.
- Powered by a dual-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 processor and 4GB of RAM, performance is adequate for everyday use, although multitasking may be limited.
- The 3.15 MP rear camera captures basic images and can record video at 720p@30fps, while the absence of a front camera restricts selfie options.
- The 1500mAh battery offers limited longevity, with no fast charging or wireless capabilities.
- Running on Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean), the software experience is dated but functional for basic applications.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it lacks 5G and NFC support.
- The device includes stereo speakers and a headphone jack, enhancing audio capabilities.
- Available in multiple colors, it offers some customization in appearance.
- Overall, the BLU Dash Music 4.0 is a basic smartphone suited for users with minimal requirements.
