Comparisons Featuring BLU Energy M

Short Review

  • The BLU Energy M features a simple design with dimensions of 146.5 x 73.2 x 10.5 mm and a weight of 136g, available in various 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 may not provide the sharpest visuals.
  • Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6580 chipset with a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 1GB of RAM, suitable for basic tasks but limited for demanding applications.
  • The rear camera is 5 MP with autofocus, capable of recording video at 720p, while the 2 MP front camera is adequate for selfies.
  • The 4000 mAh battery provides decent longevity but lacks fast or wireless charging options.
  • Running on Android 6.0 (Marshmallow), the software experience is basic, with no stereo speakers but a standard headphone jack included.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, though it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The device does not offer water resistance, which may be a drawback for some users.
  • Overall, the BLU Energy M is a straightforward device with essential features for everyday use.
