Comparisons Featuring BLU Studio Max
Short Review
- The BLU Studio Max features a solid build with dimensions of 153.8 x 75.6 x 8.5 mm and a weight of 169g, available in Grey, Rose Gold, and Gold.
- Its 5.5-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels, providing a pixel density of approximately 401 ppi, though it lacks HDR support.
- Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6753 chipset with an octa-core 1.3 GHz CPU and Mali-T720 GPU, paired with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage.
- The rear camera has a 13 MP sensor with f/2.2 aperture and supports 1080p video recording, while the front camera is 5 MP.
- The device is powered by a 4000 mAh battery, but it does not support fast or wireless charging.
- Running on Android 6.0 Marshmallow, the software experience is basic and lacks updates.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.1, and microUSB 2.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The absence of stereo speakers may affect audio quality, but it retains a headphone jack for wired audio.
- Overall, the BLU Studio Max combines decent specifications in a functional design.
