Editorial report
BLU G8 technical sheet
The BLU G8 is aimed at people looking for a basic smartphone, but its 3 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage leave limited room for apps and files. Storage can be expanded with a card of up to 64 GB, adding space for photos, music, and other content.
Its 6.3-inch IPS LCD display has a resolution of 720 × 1520 px and a density of 267 ppi. The screen offers a broad area for viewing content, while its resolution is modest for that size. The processor is an octa-core Cortex-A55 clocked at up to 1.6 GHz, paired with 3 GB of RAM. Those memory figures are worth considering for anyone who regularly keeps several apps open.
The battery has a capacity of 4000 mAh. Other features include dual Nano-SIM, a 3.5 mm audio jack, FM radio, and microUSB. The phone runs Android 9. Both the rear and front cameras have 13 MP resolution; the rear camera records video at 1080p and 30 fps, and has no optical image stabilization.
Overall, the BLU G8 is a basic smartphone for calls, messaging, and everyday tasks, with expandable storage as a practical plus. Its memory and display resolution are the main limitations. It makes the most sense for people who want essential smartphone features and a way to add storage, rather than a large amount of built-in space or a high-definition display.
