Comparisons Featuring BLU Tank Xtreme
Short Review
- The BLU Tank Xtreme features a robust design with dimensions of 153.6 x 71.8 x 10.2 mm and a weight of 178g, making it feel substantial in hand.
- Its 5.5-inch IPS LCD display has a resolution of 480 x 960 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 195 ppi, which may appear less sharp by modern standards.
- Performance is powered by a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A53 CPU and 2GB of RAM, suitable for basic tasks but limited for heavy multitasking.
- The camera setup includes a 13 MP rear camera with a secondary 2 MP depth sensor, capable of recording video at 1080p@30fps, while an 8 MP front camera serves for selfies.
- A significant feature is the 4200 mAh battery, providing extended usage without fast charging or wireless capabilities.
- The device runs on Android 9.0 (Pie), offering a straightforward user experience without the latest software enhancements.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it lacks 5G support and NFC.
- The absence of stereo speakers may limit audio quality, but it does include a headphone jack for wired audio.
- Overall, the BLU Tank Xtreme is designed for durability and basic functionality rather than advanced features or high-end performance.
