BLU View 5

The BLU View 5 suits people looking for a lightweight phone with a large display who are comfortable with modest memory and camera specifications. At 165.31 g, its weight is among the best of phones of its time. The 6.56″ IPS LCD display gives content and apps a large viewing area.

Its 720 × 1612 px resolution and 269 ppi density are both below those of most phones launched around the same time. The 3 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage are also among the lowest capacities of their time. Storage is expandable, so additional space can be added beyond the phone’s built-in capacity. The processor is a quad-core MediaTek Helio A22 with a maximum clock speed of 2 GHz.

The rear camera’s 13 MP resolution is among the lowest of its time, and it has no optical image stabilization. It records video at 1080p and 30 fps; the phone also has a 2 MP macro camera and an 8 MP front camera. Its 4,000 mAh battery capacity is among the lowest of its time. Android 14, USB Type-C, Bluetooth 5.0, Wi-Fi 4 and Wi-Fi 5 round out the listed features. The View 5 is a basic phone for someone who prioritizes low weight and a large display, and whose needs fit its limited memory, camera and battery specifications.
