BLU Studio J8M LTE Review – The Android 4G Smartphone On A Budget

BLU Studio J8M LTE, as it sounds from its suffix is a smartphone that supports the classic 4G LTE network connectivity. Coupled with that the smartphone is restrained to the budget segment, given its specs and its price tag. BLU smartphone lineup has numerous entry-level smartphones, so it comes as no shock that the current smartphone we’re looking at now is also in the same segment. At this juncture, the intro will come to a close, thereby leading us straight to the review.

Design & Display 

The smartphone, built in plastic mix material comes out in Black and Gold color options. The thickness being 9.4 mm meets up properly with the 145 mm length and 72 mm width. The curved nature of the smarphone’s edges and the smooth rear act as mini definitions of the smartphone’s beauty. The fingerprint sensor graces the rear alongside a camera, LED flash and BLU logo. The speaker grille also appears at the rear while the volume and power buttons show up on the right hand side. At the front, the top bezel houses the front camera, LED flash and earpiece while the bottom bezel contains the BLU logo.
