Short Review

  • The BLU Touch Book 9.7 features a straightforward design with dimensions of 238 x 185 x 10 mm and a weight of 430g, making it portable yet sturdy.
  • Its 9.7-inch LED-backlit IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 132 ppi.
  • Performance is driven by a dual-core 1.5 GHz Cortex-A9 CPU and 4GB of RAM, which supports basic multitasking but may struggle with more demanding applications.
  • The device is equipped with a 2 MP rear camera and a 2 MP front camera, both capable of capturing basic images and video at 480p.
  • A robust 6000mAh battery ensures extended usage, although it lacks fast charging or wireless capabilities.
  • Running on Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), the software experience is dated but functional for essential tasks.
  • Connectivity options include dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 3.0, while it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The absence of stereo speakers may limit audio quality, but a headphone jack is included for wired listening.
  • Overall, the BLU Touch Book 9.7 is a basic tablet that meets fundamental needs without advanced features.
