BLU Sport 4.5 Review

S430U (S430U)     See other variants reviews Score: 49.5 / 100

BLU Sport 4.5 is a decent cellphone, packed with a medium 4.5 inches screen, a very powerful Quad-Core processor clocking at 1.3 gigahertz, a 5 mega-pixels back facing camera and a 0.3 mega-pixels front camera.

BLU decided to build this cellphone with an extremely powerful Quad-Core processing unit clocking at 1.3 gigahertz with only 512 MB of RAM which is a little low for a phone this powerful. Graphic rendering often consume lots of CPU time, so the BLU Sport 4.5 uses an ARM Mali-400 graphic processing unit speeding at 500 MHz to unload the processor. This phone counts with a decent 4 GB internal storage, which is enough for the vast majority of users considering that this phone also has a slot for an external memory card .

The BLU Sport 4.5 is available in 2 different color options, black and white. This cellphone is a bit heavy comparing to other cellphones , with a weight of 5.54 ounces. This cellphone is very slim and comfortable, but it's not close to being one of the thinnest cellphones in the market, with a thickness of 0.43 inches.

This cellphone is equipped with two cameras, a 5 mega-pixels back side camera and a 0.3 MP front facing camera. It also captures 1280x720 HD videos at 30 frames per second. Additionally, this cellphone's camera also includes a couple of nice characteristics: auto-focus, flash, geo tagging and face detection shooting.

The BLU Sport 4.5 has a very good 4.5 inches screen with a 854 x 480 resolution, giving this phone a very good image quality. This screen uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and has multi-touch detection.

The BLU Sport 4.5 includes wi-fi capability (which it can provide to other devices as a mobile hotspot), HSPA+ (4G) connection type, that is not so fast as LTE-A or LTE networks and the fastest 3G connection type, over HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. The BLU Sport 4.5 uses two SIM cards so it can to use two different carriers or phone lines.

This cellphone features a 2000 mAh medium sized Li-Ion replaceable battery, which is quite poor for a thirsty device like this. BLU informs a stand by time of 930 hs and a talk time of 28 hs for this cellphone.

This device also includes a couple cool characteristics such as Bluetooth (4.0), GPS Navigation and FM Radio, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

This cellphone is priced about 249 dollars, which is not a really offer for a cellphone this level.
