Comparisons Featuring BLU Studio X8 HD
Short Review
- The BLU Studio X8 HD features a compact design with dimensions of 146 x 73.6 x 9.9 mm and a weight of 144g, 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.
- Performance is driven by an octa-core 1.4 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 4GB of RAM, which allows for basic multitasking and app usage.
- The Mali-450 GPU supports casual gaming and video playback, although it may struggle with more demanding tasks.
- The camera system includes a 5 MP rear camera capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, alongside a 5 MP front-facing camera for selfies.
- Battery capacity is 2000mAh, which may require frequent charging under heavy use, as it lacks fast or wireless charging.
- The device runs on Android 5.1 (Lollipop), offering a straightforward user experience but lacking the latest features found in newer versions.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, though it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The phone is available in black and white, but does not feature water resistance.
- Overall, the BLU Studio X8 HD is a basic smartphone suitable for everyday tasks.
