If China has Xiaomi which often offers low price gadgets,
the United States has BLU that prefers to play in the low end segment rather
than having to deal directly with Apple or other large companies. And recently
BLU has just launched two affordable smartphones named Dash M2 and Dash X2.
BLU Dash M2 and Dash X2 are offered through Amazon at very
affordable prices: $ 70 and $ 85. With these prices it is not surprising if
both of them have modest specifications.
BLU Dash M2 carries 5 inch screen with a resolution of 480 x
854 pixels. This smartphone is supported by MediaTek MT6580 chipset that
consists of quad-core processor; there is also 512MB of RAM and 4GB of internal
memory. Dash M2 also brings 5MP main camera and 2MP front camera.
While the BLU Dash X2 has slightly better specs. At the
front it brings 5 inch screen but with better resolution, HD (720p). This
smartphone is still supported by the same chipset but with 1GB of RAM and 8GB
of internal memory.
Dash X2 also brings a slightly better rear camera, 8MP,
despite it still uses 2MP front camera just like the first variant.
Interestingly both of these smartphones have supported 4G
LTE network, so although they are not equipped with upscale features, but the
smartphones have a pretty good internet speed. In addition, they are equipped
with dual SIM and microSD slot if users need additional storage.
