Short Review

  • The BLU Energy Diamond features a compact design with dimensions of 147.5 x 71.5 x 12.7 mm and a weight of 184 grams, available in multiple colors including Grey, White, Pink, Gold, and Blue.
  • Its 5.0-inch LCD display has a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, offering a pixel density of approximately 196 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks sharpness for high-definition content.
  • Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6580 chipset with a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 1GB of RAM, suitable for light multitasking and everyday applications.
  • The camera system includes a 5 MP rear camera with autofocus and a 2 MP front camera, capable of recording video at 720p at 30fps, though it lacks advanced features like optical image stabilization.
  • The 4000 mAh battery provides substantial longevity, but it does not support fast or wireless charging.
  • Running on Android 6.0 (Marshmallow), the software experience is basic, lacking updates to newer Android versions.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The device also includes a microUSB 2.0 port and a standard headphone jack.
  • Overall, the BLU Energy Diamond is a straightforward smartphone with essential features for users who prioritize battery life and basic functionality.
  • Special features are minimal, focusing primarily on core smartphone capabilities.
