Editorial report

BLU Studio X8 HD (2019) technical sheet

The BLU Studio X8 HD (2019) may suit someone looking for a basic, lightweight phone, but its 2,000 mAh battery is among the smallest of its time. At 143 g, it is lighter than most phones launched around then. The 5-inch IPS LCD display has a 720 × 1,280 px resolution; its 294 ppi density is below average, and the 63.6% screen-to-body ratio is among the weakest of its time.

Memory and performance are significant limitations. The MediaTek MT6580 is paired with 1 GB of RAM and a maximum of 8 GB of storage, both among the lowest figures of their time. Storage can be expanded with a memory card up to 64 GB. Its AnTuTu score of 33,000 is also among the weakest, so the figures do not make it a fit for anyone seeking substantial performance headroom. The rear camera’s 8 MP resolution is lower than that of most phones of its time; it records 1080p video and has an LED flash. The 5 MP front camera records at 720p.

The phone supports two Mini-SIM cards with Dual SIM Dual Standby, and includes FM radio, a 3.5 mm audio jack and a removable battery. Overall, the BLU Studio X8 HD is a lightweight entry-level phone, but its battery, memory and performance are among the weakest of its time. Its overall NeoScore is 1.5. It is best suited to buyers who only need basic functions and can accept those limitations.
