Comparisons Featuring BLU Studio Mega (2018)
Short Review
- The BLU Studio Mega (2018) features a plastic build with dimensions of 156.7 x 75.2 x 8.4 mm and a weight of 155g, making it relatively lightweight and easy to handle.
- Its 6.0-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1440 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 268 ppi, suitable for basic media consumption.
- Performance is powered by a Mediatek MT6580 chipset with a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 1GB of RAM, which may struggle with multitasking and demanding applications.
- The camera system includes a 13 MP rear camera with a 2 MP depth sensor, capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while the 8 MP front camera is adequate for selfies.
- Battery capacity is 2600 mAh, which supports basic daily usage but lacks fast or wireless charging options.
- The device runs on Android 8.1 Oreo (Go edition), optimized for lower-end hardware, providing a streamlined experience.
- 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 phone is available in Black, Blue, and Silver colors, offering limited aesthetic choices.
- Overall, the BLU Studio Mega (2018) is a basic smartphone suitable for users with minimal demands.
- Special features are limited, with no water resistance or advanced audio capabilities.
