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.
- Performance is powered by a Mediatek MT6580 chipset, with a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 1GB of RAM, which may limit multitasking capabilities.
- The camera system includes an 8 MP rear camera with autofocus and 1080p video recording, alongside an 8 MP front-facing camera for selfies.
- The battery capacity is 2200mAh, providing basic usage without fast or wireless charging options.
- Running on Android 6.0 Marshmallow, the software experience is relatively dated compared to newer versions.
- 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 for charging and data transfer, and includes a headphone jack.
- Overall, the BLU Grand Max offers essential features suitable for basic smartphone tasks.
- Special features are limited, with no water resistance or stereo speakers.
