Short Review

  • The BLU Studio 5.0 features a simple design with dimensions of 144 x 74 x 10.7 mm and a weight of 170g, available in black and white.
  • Its 5.0-inch LCD display offers a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 187 ppi, which may appear less sharp by modern standards.
  • Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6577 chipset with a dual-core 1.0 GHz Cortex-A9 CPU and 4GB of RAM, providing basic functionality for everyday tasks.
  • The rear camera is 5 MP with autofocus, capable of recording video at 720p@30fps, while the front camera is absent.
  • The battery capacity is 2000mAh, which supports standard usage but lacks fast or wireless charging options.
  • Running on Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean), the software experience is dated, lacking many modern features.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 3.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The device has a microUSB 2.0 port and a standard headphone jack.
  • Overall, the BLU Studio 5.0 is a basic smartphone with limited capabilities suited for essential tasks.
  • Special features are minimal, reflecting its entry-level positioning in the market.
