Comparisons Featuring BLU Grand Max
Short Review
- The BLU Grand Max features a compact design with dimensions of 145 x 72.1 x 7.8 mm and a weight of 154g, available in Gold, Gray, and Rose Gold.
- Its 5.0-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, delivering a pixel density of approximately 294 ppi, but lacks HDR support.
