Comparisons Featuring BLU Grand X
Short Review
- The BLU Grand X features a compact design with dimensions of 145.8 x 72.9 x 9.1 mm and a weight of 165g, available in Grey, Gold, and Rose Gold.
- Its 5.0-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 294 ppi, though it lacks HDR support.
- Performance is driven 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 Mali-400MP2 GPU handles graphics, but overall performance is modest.
- The camera system includes a 5 MP rear camera with autofocus and 1080p video recording, alongside a 5 MP front camera for selfies.
- Battery life is supported by a 2200 mAh capacity, but it does not offer fast or wireless charging options.
- The device runs on Android 6.0 Marshmallow, which may feel outdated compared to newer versions.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it lacks 5G and NFC capabilities.
- The phone features a microUSB 2.0 port and a standard headphone jack, catering to basic audio needs.
- Overall, the BLU Grand X is a straightforward device with essential features but limited performance and modern software support.
