Comparisons Featuring BLU Studio 5.0 S
Short Review
- The BLU Studio 5.0 S features a plastic build with dimensions of 143 x 72 x 8.9 mm and weighs 170g, making it relatively lightweight and easy to handle.
- Its 5.0-inch LED-backlit IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 220 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks sharpness for high-definition content.
- Performance is driven by a Qualcomm MSM8225Q Snapdragon S4 Play chipset, a quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A5 CPU, and 1GB of RAM, providing satisfactory functionality for everyday use.
- The rear camera boasts an 8 MP sensor with autofocus, capable of recording 720p video at 30fps, while the 2 MP front camera is suitable for basic selfies.
- A 2000 mAh battery powers the device, but it lacks fast charging and wireless capabilities.
- The software runs on Android 4.1.2 (Jelly Bean), which is outdated compared to current standards.
- 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, offering minimal aesthetic choices.
- Overall, the BLU Studio 5.0 S is a basic smartphone with essential features, suitable for users with simple needs.
- However, its limitations in display quality, software, and battery performance may not meet the demands of more advanced users.
