Comparisons Featuring BLU Studio 5.0 HD LTE
Short Review
- The BLU Studio 5.0 HD LTE features a plastic build with dimensions of 145.7 x 72 x 9 mm and weighs 164 grams, making it relatively lightweight.
- Its 5.0-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 294 ppi, suitable for basic media consumption.
- Powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 chipset with a quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and Adreno 305 GPU, the performance is adequate for everyday tasks but may struggle with demanding applications.
- The rear camera boasts a 13 MP sensor capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while the 5 MP front camera is suitable for selfies.
- The device is equipped with a 2200 mAh battery, which may require frequent charging under heavy use, as it lacks fast or wireless charging capabilities.
- Running on Android 4.4.2 (KitKat), the software experience is dated, limiting access to newer apps and features.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 3.0, and microUSB 2.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The phone is available in black and white colors, providing minimal aesthetic choices.
- Overall, the BLU Studio 5.0 HD LTE offers basic functionality with limited performance and features.
- It is best suited for users with modest smartphone needs.
