BLU Tank 4.5 Review

W100 (W100)     See other variants reviews Score: 46.9 / 100

BLU Tank 4.5 is a not so powerful phone, packing a 4.5-inches multi touch screen, a fast Dual-Core CPU clocking at 1000 megahertz, and 2 cameras, a 5 MP back side camera and a 0.3 megapixels front-facing camera.

BLU decided to power the BLU Tank 4.5 using a fast Dual-Core processor speeding at 1000 MHz, bundled in a Mediatek MT6577 chip with 512 MB of RAM memory. The BLU Tank 4.5 has a 4 GB internal memory, a passable amount that should be adequate for the average user knowing that the BLU Tank 4.5 also has an external SD slot to store songs, pictures and videos.

BLU made an amazing job making this cellphone weight just 4.8 ounces. Being just 0.38" thick,this phone is very thin and comfortable. The BLU Tank 4.5 is for sale in 2 different color options, black and white.

This phone features two cameras, a 5 mega-pixels back camera and a 0.3 MP front facing camera. In addition, this phone's camera also counts with a large number of interesting characteristics: auto-focus, flash, digital image stabilization, smile detection shooting, face detection shooting and geo tagging.

This device has a good looking 4.5 inches screen with a 960 x 540 resolution, which makes it hard to distinguish the pixels in the screen. Its screen uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and has multi-touch detection.

The BLU Tank 4.5 uses a medium 1760 mAh Li-Ion battery that provides the BLU Tank 4.5 a quite short battery life. This device has an aproximate 720 hours stand by time and a 22 hours talk time according to BLU.

This phone has wifi connection (and it can provide it to other devices around, acting as a mobile hotspot) and fast 3G data connection, using HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This cellphone works with a SIM card for GSM connection.

The BLU Tank 4.5 also includes a couple interesting features like Bluetooth (allows communication with other cellphones and accessories) and GPS Geolocation, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

The BLU Tank 4.5 is not a very good choice considering it is offerred for 249 dollars, while other similar cellphones are sold for much less than that.
