Summary
- The BLU Studio 5.5 S features a larger 5.5-inch IPS LCD display compared to the 5.0-inch LED-backlit IPS LCD of the Maxwest Orbit Z50, both with the same resolution but differing pixel densities.

- Battery capacity is higher in the BLU at 2350 mAh compared to the 2000 mAh of the Maxwest, which may provide better longevity.
- Both phones run on older versions of Android, with the BLU on 4.2 and the Maxwest on 4.1.2, resulting in a similar software experience that lacks modern features.
