Editorial report

BLU G6 technical sheet

The BLU G6 is suited to basic phone use for someone who values a light handset; the main trade-off is its 2,800 mAh battery, among the lowest-capacity batteries in phones of its time. At 160 g, it weighs less than most phones launched around then.

Its 5.7-inch IPS LCD display has a 720 × 1440 px resolution and 282 ppi density, below average for phones of its time. The phone has 3 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage, expandable with a card up to 64 GB. Its AnTuTu score of 83,000 is worse than most phones of its time, a drawback for buyers looking for stronger performance.

The 13 MP rear camera and 8 MP front camera record video at 1080p and 30 fps. The camera is among the weakest of its time, and the rear camera has no optical image stabilization. Connectivity includes Dual Nano-SIM, GPS, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.1, FM radio, microUSB and a 3.5 mm audio jack. Connectivity, battery and camera are among the weakest of their time, while design and display and performance are worse than most. The BLU G6 earns a NeoScore of 2.5 and is best considered for essential tasks, two SIM cards and a lower weight, with its limited battery and modest performance accepted as trade-offs.
