GoSolo Verdict
The BLU Studio M LTE is a budget Android phone from 2016 that has aged poorly: a 1GHz quad-core processor, 1GB RAM, and a 196ppi 480x854 display make it sluggish and dim by any modern standard, and it was already dated at launch. Unless you need a second phone for calls and texts only, there are better-value used or budget alternatives available today.

Trade-offs · 3
- Only 1GB RAM and 1GHz quad-core make everyday tasks sluggish and app multitasking painful
- 480x854 resolution is too low even for a 5-inch screen—text and icons look blocky
- 2300mAh battery is small and will not last a full day of real use
