Editorial report

BLU G50 technical sheet

The BLU G50 suits basic phone use, but its 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage leave limited room for apps and files. Storage is expandable, which can add capacity when needed. The modest memory setup is the central trade-off: this is a straightforward handset rather than one with much hardware headroom.

Its IPS LCD display measures 5.5″ and has a pixel density of 293 ppi, below average for phones of its time. At 190 g, it is lighter than average. The 4,000 mAh battery and 10 W charging are worse than those of most phones launched around the same time, making battery capacity and charging two clear compromises.

Performance and connectivity are among the weakest of its time. Wireless connections include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.1, alongside USB Type-C, GPS, and dual Nano-SIM support. Android 10, a 3.5 mm audio jack, and FM radio round out a setup aimed at basic tasks. The rear camera is 13 MP and records video at 1080p at 30 fps; the front camera is 8 MP and records at 720p at 30 fps.

The BLU G50 has no NeoScore because its specifications do not cover enough categories for one to be calculated. It may suit someone looking for a basic phone with expandable storage, provided that limited RAM, modest internal storage, and a battery below most of its contemporaries are acceptable.
