Comparisons Featuring BLU Studio 5.3

Short Review

  • The BLU Studio 5.3 features a large 5.3-inch TFT display with a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 176 ppi.
  • Its design is relatively bulky, measuring 150 x 81 x 10.9 mm and weighing 192 grams, with a simple black finish.
  • Performance is powered by a Mediatek MT6573 chipset, featuring a dual-core CPU with clock speeds of 650 MHz and 800 MHz, along with 512MB of RAM, which may limit multitasking capabilities.
  • The rear camera offers 5 MP with autofocus, but lacks optical image stabilization and has a maximum video recording capability of 480p at 30fps.
  • Battery life is supported by a 2500 mAh capacity, but it does not support fast or wireless charging.
  • The device runs on Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), which is outdated compared to current software standards.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g and Bluetooth 2.1, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The absence of a front-facing camera limits selfie capabilities, as it features a 0 MP front camera.
  • The phone includes a microUSB 2.0 port for charging and data transfer, along with a standard headphone jack.
  • Overall, the BLU Studio 5.3 is basic in terms of features and performance, reflecting its release period.
