Comparisons Featuring BLU Neo X

Short Review

  • The BLU Neo X features a simple design with dimensions of 143 x 73.8 x 9.8 mm and a weight of 151 grams, available in black, white, and gold.
  • Its 5.0-inch LCD display has a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 196 ppi, which may not provide the sharpest visuals.
  • Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6580 chipset with a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 4GB of RAM, suitable for basic tasks but limited for demanding applications.
  • The camera system includes a 5 MP rear camera capable of recording 720p video at 30fps, while the front lacks a selfie camera.
  • The battery capacity is 2000 mAh, providing basic longevity without fast or wireless charging options.
  • Running on Android 5.1 (Lollipop), the software experience is dated and may lack some modern features.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, and microUSB 2.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The absence of stereo speakers may affect audio quality during media playback.
  • Overall, the BLU Neo X is a basic smartphone that meets essential needs without advanced features.
