Comparisons Featuring BLU Grand Energy
Short Review
- The BLU Grand Energy features a simple design with dimensions of 145.7 x 72.8 x 11 mm and a weight of 190g, available in Gold, Gray, and Rose Gold.
- Its 5.0-inch IPS LCD display has a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 294 ppi.
- 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.
- The camera system includes a 5 MP rear camera capable of 1080p video recording and a 5 MP front-facing camera for selfies.
- The 4000 mAh battery ensures extended usage, although it lacks fast or wireless charging capabilities.
- Running on Android 6.0 Marshmallow, the software experience is relatively basic and may not support the latest apps.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device has a microUSB 2.0 port and retains a headphone jack.
- Overall, the BLU Grand Energy is functional but lacks advanced features and modern specifications.
