Simply put, if you’re the type that wants above-par experience with your smartphone, BLU Grand M2 2018 is not for you. So, let’s take a look at full specifications of Grand M2 2018 and see what in it is desirable and undesirable.

All the afore-mentioned tells us not to expect much from this BLU product. However, it is multi-touch capable and comes in black, blue, and gold colors.

Camera Features

Camera department in this device is also minimal. There is the 8 MP single main camera to the rear. It comes with LED flash capabilities. The video performance is 1080p@30fps. For the single front or selfie camera, there is 5 MP which is also accompanied by LED flash feature.

For the GPU department, there is the Mali-400MP2 which enables smooth graphic works.

Storage Capacity

There is internal memory 1GB of RAM. You would hate this if you are a die-hard apps, music, movies, and games downloader.  However, there are two variants when it comes to the internal storage. One is 8GB, while the other is 16GB. The user can increase space with microSD card up to 64GB.

These come with other normal provisions such as Wi-Fi, hotspot, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS, A-GPS, FM radio, microUSB 2.0. No NFC whatsoever. But comes with all the commons expected  in a smartphone.

Battery Life

A non-removable Li-Po 2600 mAh battery provides backup for the device all day without needing any charging. Accordingly, there is stand-by time of up to 725 hours in 2G, and 625 hours in 3G. Talk time is up to 22 hours in 2G, and up to 16 hours in 3G. These seem okay.
