About the Dash X Plus by BLU
The Dash X Plus is a budget-friendly device released by the BLU brand back in October 2015. Despite its affordable price tag, this smartphone packs some impressive features that make it a popular choice among users.
Design and Specifications
Weighing at 190g and measuring 10.2mm in thickness, the Dash X Plus has a solid and lightweight design that feels comfortable to hold. Its dimensions of 158.8 x 77.7 x 10.2 mm (6.25 x 3.06 x 0.40 in) make it easy to navigate with one hand. The dual SIM feature, using Micro-SIM cards, allows users to stay connected on two different networks at the same time.
Display and Platform
The Dash X Plus boasts a 5.5 inches IPS LCD screen with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels. While the screen-to-body ratio of around 67.6% may not seem high compared to other smartphones, it still provides a decent viewing experience with its 16:9 aspect ratio and 267 ppi density.
Running on Android 5.0 Lollipop, the device is powered by a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 processor with a Mali-400 GPU. Though it may not be the most powerful combination, it can handle basic tasks and light apps without any major issues.
Camera and Memory
The Dash X Plus is equipped with an 8 MP rear camera that features autofocus and LED flash, making it suitable for capturing everyday moments. The camera can also record videos at 1080p@30fps, which is quite impressive for its price range.
With 8GB of internal storage and 1GB of RAM, the Dash X Plus may not have the most extensive storage capacity, but it does come with a microSDXC card slot that can expand the storage up to 128GB. This allows users to store more photos, videos, and apps without worrying about running out of space.
Connectivity and Features
The Dash X Plus supports GSM and HSPA networks, making it ideal for users who travel frequently. It also has Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi, GPS, and a microUSB 2.0 port for connectivity. Unfortunately, it does not have NFC technology, which is becoming a standard feature in most smartphones nowadays.
Other features of the Dash X Plus include sensors like an accelerometer and proximity sensor, as well as a loudspeaker and a 3.5mm audio jack. It also has a removable Li-Po 2750 mAh battery, allowing users to replace it when needed.
Final Thoughts
Overall, the Dash X Plus by BLU offers decent specifications and features for its price point. It may not have the latest hardware and software, but it is a reliable and affordable option for those looking for a smartphone that gets the job done. Available in black, gold, green, pink, and white, the Dash X Plus offers a variety of color options to suit different styles.
