Short Review
- The BLU Studio XL features a large 6.0-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels, providing a pixel density of approximately 184 ppi.
- Its design is relatively bulky, measuring 165.5 x 85.3 x 8.5 mm and weighing 177 grams, available in black and white colors.
- Performance is powered by a Mediatek MT6582M chipset with a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 1GB of RAM, which may struggle with demanding applications.
- The camera system includes an 8 MP rear camera capable of 1080p video recording, while the 2 MP front camera is suitable for basic selfies.
- The battery capacity is 3000 mAh, providing moderate longevity without fast or wireless charging options.
- Running on Android 5.0 Lollipop, the software experience is dated compared to newer versions.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it lacks 5G and NFC support.
- The device does not feature stereo speakers or water resistance.
- Overall, the BLU Studio XL offers basic functionality with limited performance and camera capabilities.
- Special features are minimal, focusing primarily on essential smartphone functions.
