Comparisons Featuring BLU Studio View XL
Short Review
- The BLU Studio View XL features a plastic build with dimensions of 160.1 x 74.3 x 9.3 mm and weighs 174 grams, making it relatively lightweight.
- Its 5.7-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1440 pixels with a density of approximately 282 ppi, but lacks HDR support and has a standard 60Hz refresh rate.
- Powered by a Mediatek MT6580 chipset, it runs on a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU, paired with 1GB of RAM, which may limit multitasking capabilities.
- The device includes a 13 MP rear camera capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while the 5 MP front camera is suitable for basic selfies.
- With a 3000 mAh battery, the phone does not support fast charging or wireless charging, which may affect longevity during heavy use.
- It operates on Android 7.0 Nougat, offering a straightforward user experience without the latest features found in newer versions.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it lacks 5G support and NFC.
- The phone is equipped with a microUSB 2.0 port and retains a headphone jack for audio.
- Available in multiple colors, including Black, Gold, Rose Gold, and Silver, it presents a variety of aesthetic choices.
- Overall, the BLU Studio View XL is a basic smartphone that covers essential functions without advanced features.
