Comparisons Featuring BLU Vivo 5 Mini

Short Review

  • The BLU Vivo 5 Mini features a compact design with dimensions of 125.2 x 62 x 8.5 mm and a weight of 119 grams, making it lightweight and portable.
  • Its 4.0-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 233 ppi, suitable for basic tasks.
  • Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6580 chipset with a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 8GB of RAM, which is adequate for everyday use but may struggle with multitasking.
  • The rear camera is a 5 MP unit capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while a 3.15 MP front camera serves for selfies.
  • The device is powered by a 1500 mAh battery, which is relatively small and lacks fast or wireless charging options.
  • Running on Android 6.0 (Marshmallow), the software experience is basic and may not support the latest apps.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The phone is available in several colors: Gray, Gold, Rose Gold, and Silver.
  • There is a headphone jack included, which is a positive feature for audio enthusiasts.
  • Overall, the BLU Vivo 5 Mini is a straightforward device aimed at users with minimal smartphone needs.
