Editorial report
BLU G5 technical sheet
The BLU G5 is aimed at basic phone use, but its 3000 mAh battery has less capacity than most phones launched around the same time. That is a notable trade-off, even with a removable battery. Its 5.5-inch IPS LCD display has a 720 × 1440 px resolution and 293 ppi, below average for phones of its time.
Performance is also limited against phones launched around then. Its AnTuTu score of 83,000 is lower than most, while 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage are less than most phones of the period offer. Storage can be expanded with a memory card up to 64 GB. The 13 MP rear camera records 1080p video at 30 fps and includes HDR, burst mode, and manual ISO and white-balance controls. The front camera is 8 MP.
Practical features include Dual Nano-SIM, FM radio, and a 3.5 mm audio jack. The G5 is among the weakest phones of its time for connectivity, display, camera, and performance. Overall, it is also among the weakest phones launched around the same time. With a NeoScore of 2.3, the BLU G5 is best suited to basic needs for buyers who value a removable battery and expandable storage, while accepting limited capacity, performance, and display resolution.
