Short Review
- The BLU Studio 5.5 S features a plastic build with dimensions of 156 x 77.6 x 8.9 mm and a weight of 166 grams, making it relatively lightweight and easy to handle.
- Its 5.5-inch IPS LCD display has a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 200 ppi, which may not provide the sharpest visuals.
- Performance is powered by a Mediatek MT6582M chipset with a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 4GB of RAM, allowing for basic multitasking but limited by its 4GB internal storage.
- The rear camera features an 8 MP sensor capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while the 2 MP front camera is adequate for selfies.
- Battery capacity stands at 2350 mAh, which may require frequent charging due to moderate usage.
- The device runs on Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean), offering a dated software experience with limited app compatibility.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 3.0, and microUSB 2.0, but it lacks 5G and NFC support.
- Notably, it does not feature stereo speakers or wireless charging.
- Overall, the BLU Studio 5.5 S is a basic smartphone with essential features but limited performance and display quality.
