Editorial report
BLU Bold N3 8 GB / 256 GB / Americas technical sheet
The BLU Bold N3 suits anyone looking for a large-screen Android phone with fast charging; the trade-off is a battery with less capacity than most phones launched around the same time. Its 6.78-inch AMOLED display has a 120 Hz refresh rate, and its 90.5% screen-to-body ratio is among the highest for phones of its time. At 180 g, it also weighs less than most.
The display stands better than most phones launched around the same time, while performance, camera, and battery are typical. The battery holds 4700 mAh, less capacity than most, but its 66 W fast charging has more power than most phones of its time. The 50 MP main camera uses a 1/1.55-inch sensor, larger than that of most phones launched around the same time. Its f/1.9 aperture is less bright than most, and there is no optical image stabilization. An 8 MP ultrawide camera and 2 MP macro camera add two other focal options.
The MediaTek Dimensity 7050 comes with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of expandable storage. The phone also supports 5G, NFC, dual SIM, and a 3.5 mm audio jack, and runs Android 13 with Google Services. Its overall NeoScore is 6.2. The BLU Bold N3 is a balanced choice for anyone who values a large display, a lighter-than-most build, and fast charging, and can accept a smaller battery capacity.
