Short Review

  • The BLU Studio 5.3 S features a plastic build with dimensions of 153 x 78 x 9.2 mm and a weight of 190g, making it relatively bulky.
  • Its 5.3-inch LED-backlit IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 208 ppi.
  • Performance is driven by a Qualcomm MSM8225Q Snapdragon S4 Play chipset, a quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A5 CPU, and 4GB of RAM, which is adequate for basic tasks.
  • The rear camera is 8 MP with autofocus, capable of recording video at 720p@30fps, while the front-facing camera is 2 MP.
  • The battery capacity is 2800 mAh, providing standard usage without fast charging or wireless capabilities.
  • Running on Android 4.1.2 (Jelly Bean), the software experience is dated compared to modern standards.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 3.0, but it lacks 5G support and NFC.
  • The device does not feature stereo speakers but includes a headphone jack.
  • Overall, the BLU Studio 5.3 S is functional but limited by its specifications and outdated software.
