Comparisons Featuring BLU Grand M
Short Review
- The BLU Grand M features a simple design with dimensions of 144.9 x 72.1 x 9.4 mm and a weight of 171g, available in multiple colors including Gray, Silver, Gold, and Rose Gold.
- Its 5.0-inch IPS LCD display has a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 196 ppi, which may not provide the sharpest visuals.
- Performance is powered by a Mediatek MT6580 chipset with a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 8GB of RAM, suitable for basic tasks but limited for demanding applications.
- The rear camera offers 5 MP resolution with 720p video recording at 30fps, while the front-facing camera is 3.15 MP, adequate for casual photography.
- The battery capacity is 2200 mAh, providing moderate usage time but lacks fast or wireless charging options.
- Running on Android 6.0 Marshmallow, the software experience is basic and may not support the latest apps or features.
- 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, catering to users who prefer wired audio.
- Overall, the BLU Grand M is a straightforward device with essential features but limited performance and display quality.
