Comparisons Featuring BLU Grand XL
Short Review
- The BLU Grand XL features a large 5.5-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 267 ppi.
- Its build dimensions are 157.5 x 78.6 x 9.1 mm, weighing 187 grams, and it is available in multiple colors including Black, Gold, Rose Gold, and Silver.
- 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 device includes an 8 MP rear camera with autofocus, capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, and a 5 MP front camera for selfies.
- Battery life is supported by a 2650 mAh capacity, but it lacks fast or wireless charging options.
- Running on Android 7.0 Nougat, the software experience is basic and may not include the latest features.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The phone has a microUSB 2.0 port and a standard headphone jack.
- Overall, the BLU Grand XL offers essential features but lacks advanced specifications and modern enhancements.
- Its design is straightforward, catering to users looking for a simple, functional device.
