Comparisons Featuring BLU Studio J8M LTE
Short Review
- The BLU Studio J8M LTE features a compact design with dimensions of 145 x 72 x 9.4 mm and a weight of 140g, making it easy to handle.
- Its 5.0-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 294 ppi, though it lacks HDR support.
- Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6737 chipset with a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A53 CPU and 2GB of RAM, which is adequate for basic tasks but may struggle with more demanding applications.
- The camera system includes an 8 MP rear camera capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps and a 5 MP front camera for selfies.
- The 2000mAh battery supports basic usage but lacks fast charging or wireless capabilities.
- Running on Android 7.0 Nougat, the software experience is straightforward, though it may feel outdated compared to newer versions.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, and a microUSB 2.0 port, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device is available in black and gold colors, offering limited aesthetic choices.
- Overall, the BLU Studio J8M LTE is a basic smartphone suitable for users with minimal requirements.
- Its features cater to essential communication and media consumption without advanced functionalities.
