The "BLU Grand Mini 8GB" is 66.0mm wide, 132.0mm tall, and 8.6mm thick.

Both the size and weight of the "BLU Grand Mini 8GB" make it easy to hold in your hand and are unlikely to cause any trouble when you use it normally.

BLU Grand Mini 8GB 's screen

The screen quality of the "BLU Grand Mini 8GB" is such that images and videos can occasionally be somewhat blurry. For general usage however, it's largely not a problem.

The CPU performance of BLU Grand Mini 8GB

BLU Grand Mini 8GB 's storage capacity

Since the "BLU Grand Mini 8GB" is compatible with SD cards, you'll be able to easily expand your storage capacity; you won't need to worry about how much internal space it has.

The camera function of BLU Grand Mini 8GB

The performance of the "BLU Grand Mini 8GB"'s main camera is rather low with only 5.0MP pixels. If you take a lot of pictures, then you'll likely be dissatisfied with what this camera has to offer.

The "BLU Grand Mini 8GB" comes equipped with a 2.0MP pixel front-facing camera, which is very low resolution. If you aren't particular about your videos or photos, it might be fine, but otherwise, we recommend a smartphone at least one tier higher.

The battery of the "BLU Grand Mini 8GB" has a capacity of 1500.0mAh, which is rather low. Compared to other smartphones, the battery life of the "BLU Grand Mini 8GB" is not very good. It's okay if you're just using it for calls and the occasional bit of browsing, but if you're going to browse for extended periods, play games or watch videos, you want a reserve battery pack.

Overall assessment of BLU Grand Mini 8GB

The "BLU Grand Mini 8GB"'s performance level is that of a budget smartphone. It's a bit too weak to use as a main smartphone, so if possible you should consider something slightly more powerful. However, it should be sufficient for people that only want to use the most basic functions, like making calls and browsing the internet, and for people that don't really use smartphones much.
