Editorial report
BLU B9 technical sheet
The BLU B9 suits anyone looking for a basic phone with a large display and expandable storage who can accept modest resolution and limited performance. Its 6.52″ IPS LCD display has a resolution of 720 × 1600 px, giving it 264 ppi, among the lowest densities of phones launched around the same time. Peak brightness of 480 nits is also lower than on most phones of its time.
This configuration pairs 4 GB of RAM with 128 GB of storage, which can be expanded. Its RAM capacity is lower than on most phones launched around the same time, and its AnTuTu result of 104,325 is among the weakest. Overall, its performance and hardware are worse than most of its contemporaries. The 13 MP rear camera has lower resolution than most phones of its time, while its f/2.2 aperture is among the weakest. The 5000 mAh battery has typical capacity, but 15 W charging is slower than on most phones launched around the same time.
The phone supports two Nano-SIM cards and GPS, A-GPS, GLONASS and BeiDou navigation, although its connectivity overall is among the weakest of its time. With a NeoScore of 3.7 and an overall standing among the weakest phones launched around the same time, the BLU B9 is best seen as a straightforward option for people who value a large display, dual SIM and expandable storage more than resolution, performance or photography.
