Comparisons Featuring BLU M8L
Short Review
- The BLU M8L features a simple and functional design with dimensions of 208 x 125 x 9 mm and a weight of 352g, making it relatively portable.
- Its 8.0-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 800 x 1280 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 189 ppi, though it lacks HDR support.
- Performance is driven by an octa-core 1.6 GHz Cortex-A55 CPU paired with 1GB of RAM, which is adequate for basic tasks but may struggle with more demanding applications.
- The rear camera is an 8 MP shooter capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while the 5 MP front camera is suitable for basic selfies.
- The device is powered by a 4000 mAh battery, which supports standard charging but lacks wireless charging options.
- Running on Android 11 (Go edition), the software is optimized for lower-end hardware, providing a streamlined experience.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.1, and USB Type-C 2.0, though it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The absence of stereo speakers and wireless charging may limit multimedia experiences.
- Overall, the BLU M8L serves as a basic device for users seeking essential smartphone functionalities.
