Comparisons Featuring BLU Grand Mini
Short Review
- The BLU Grand Mini features a compact design with dimensions of 132 x 66 x 8.6 mm and a weight of 132g, making it easy to handle.
- Its 4.5-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 218 ppi, suitable for basic tasks but lacking in sharpness for high-definition content.
- Performance is powered by a Mediatek MT6570 chipset with a dual-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 512MB of RAM, which may struggle with multitasking.
- The camera system includes a 5 MP rear camera capable of 720p video recording and a 2 MP front camera, providing basic photography options.
- The 1500mAh battery capacity supports minimal daily usage but lacks fast or wireless charging.
- Running on Android 6.0 Marshmallow, the software experience is dated 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 is available in multiple colors: Black, Rose Gold, Silver, and Gold.
- While it lacks advanced features like OIS or HDR, it does include a headphone jack.
- Overall, the BLU Grand Mini is a straightforward device suitable for essential functions.
