Comparisons Featuring BLU Studio G3
Short Review
- The BLU Studio G3 features a simple design with dimensions of 149.2 x 74.3 x 9.9 mm and a weight of 161g, available in black, gold, and silver.
- Its 5.2-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 188 ppi, which may not provide the sharpest visuals.
- Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6580 chipset with a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 1GB of RAM, suitable for basic tasks but limited for intensive applications.
- The camera system includes a 5 MP rear camera capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps and a 5 MP front camera for selfies.
- The battery capacity is 2050mAh, which may require frequent charging due to its modest size and lack of fast charging or wireless capabilities.
- Running on Android 7.0 Nougat, the software experience is basic, lacking advanced features found in newer versions.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device lacks stereo speakers but includes a headphone jack for audio output.
- Overall, the BLU Studio G3 offers essential features for casual users without advanced specifications.
