Summary
- The BLU Grand Max features a 5.0-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, while the BLU J7L has a slightly larger 5.7-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 720 x 1440 pixels, offering a different aspect ratio.
- In terms of performance, the Grand Max is powered by a Mediatek MT6580 chipset with a 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU, whereas the J7L utilizes a more efficient 1.4 GHz Cortex-A53 CPU, providing better processing capabilities.
- Both phones have an 8 MP rear camera and 8 MP selfie camera, but the J7L's newer software, Android 10 (Go edition), may enhance the camera experience.
- The Grand Max has a smaller 2200 mAh battery compared to the J7L's 3000 mAh, which may result in longer usage time for the latter.
- Additionally, the J7L is heavier and thicker than the Grand Max, which may affect build quality perception.
