Short Review

  • The BLU Studio 5.3 II features a plastic build with dimensions of 150 x 77 x 10.8 mm and a weight of 210 grams, making it relatively bulky.
  • It sports a 5.3-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 208 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks sharpness for detailed visuals.
  • Performance is driven by a dual-core 1.0 GHz Cortex-A9 processor and 4GB of RAM, which may struggle with multitasking and demanding applications.
  • The 8 MP rear camera captures decent images, but it lacks optical image stabilization and can only record video at 720p.
  • A 2 MP front camera is available for selfies, though it offers limited quality.
  • The 2200 mAh battery provides basic longevity but lacks fast or wireless charging capabilities.
  • Running on Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean), the software experience is outdated and may not support newer apps.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 3.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The device does not feature stereo speakers but includes a headphone jack for audio output.
  • Overall, the BLU Studio 5.3 II is a basic smartphone with limited performance and outdated specifications.
