Comparisons Featuring BLU Studio 5.0 S II
Short Review
- The BLU Studio 5.0 S II features a simple design with dimensions of 145 x 70.9 x 8.3 mm and a weight of 155g, making it lightweight and easy to handle.
- Its 5.0-inch 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.
- Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6582M chipset with a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 4GB of RAM, providing sufficient power for everyday applications.
- The rear camera is an 8 MP unit capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while the 2 MP front camera is suitable for basic selfies.
- The battery capacity is 2000 mAh, which supports standard usage but lacks fast or wireless charging options.
- Running on Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean), the software experience is dated 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 device does not have water resistance features, and it comes in a single color option, white.
- Overall, the BLU Studio 5.0 S II is a basic smartphone with essential features for casual users.
