Comparisons Featuring BLU Diamond M

Short Review

  • The BLU Diamond M features a compact design with dimensions of 144.5 x 71.5 x 12 mm and a weight of 162 grams, available in multiple colors including Grey, White, Pink, Gold, and Blue.
  • Its 5.0-inch LCD display offers a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 196 ppi, which may not deliver sharp visuals.
  • Performance is powered by a Mediatek MT6580 chipset with a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 4GB of RAM, suitable for basic tasks but limited for demanding applications.
  • The rear camera is 5 MP, capable of recording video at 720p, while the 2 MP front camera is adequate for selfies.
  • The battery capacity is 2200 mAh, providing limited longevity without fast or wireless charging options.
  • Running on Android 6.0 (Marshmallow), the software experience may feel dated compared to newer versions.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it lacks 5G and NFC support.
  • The phone does not feature stereo speakers, but it includes a headphone jack for audio output.
  • Overall, the BLU Diamond M is a basic smartphone with essential features but limited performance and display quality.
