Short Review
- The BLU Energy X features a compact design with dimensions of 142 x 70 x 8.9 mm and a weight of 154g, making it easy to handle.
- It sports a 5.0-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, offering decent clarity at approximately 294 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU paired with 1GB of RAM, which is adequate for basic tasks but may struggle with more demanding applications.
- The rear camera is an 8 MP unit capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while the 2 MP front camera is suitable for simple selfies.
- A robust 4000mAh battery ensures extended usage, although it lacks fast or wireless charging capabilities.
- The device runs on Android 5.1 (Lollipop), providing a straightforward user experience without the latest features.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The phone is available in Gold and Grey colors, adding a touch of style.
- However, it lacks advanced features like HDR support and stereo speakers.
- Overall, the BLU Energy X is a basic smartphone that covers essential functions without extra frills.
