BLU Studio Mega 2018 Design And Display
BLU calls the design of this device flawless as it comes with a combination of metallic plating and mirror finish. This gives off a halo effect in the three colours it comes in which are Blue, Black and Silver. Still at the back of the device, we a dual camera setup with an LED flash and a finger sensor for biometric unlock.
Turning the device over to the front reveals the 6.0-inch IPS LCD display. This display has an HD+ resolution with a 268ppi and uses the 18:9 aspect ratio which leaves more than enough room at the top bezel for the front-facing camera. As usual, there is a small chin down at the bottom.

A secondary 2MP depth sensor camera also sits next to the main camera at the back for depth sensing. The rear camera is capable of shooting 1080p videos at 30fps with features such as Panorama.
Hardware and Software
BLU Studio Mega uses a Mediatek MT6580 SoC which is a Quad-core chipset clocked at 1.3GHz paired with a Mali-400MP2 GPU. This is connected to the 1GB of RAM onboard for multitasking through apps.
Files can be stored on the 16GB of internal storage. However, it can be expanded to 64GB via a MicroSD card. It runs the Go Edition of the Android operating system – Android 8.1 Oreo Go Edition to be exact.
Battery and Connectivity
The 2,600mAh here is kind of a letdown and there is no fast charging support although at this price range it is understandable. There is also no 4G LTE here so you’ll have to make do with 3G.
Other features of the BLU Studio Mega includes WiFi, WiFi hotspot, WiFi direct, Bluetooth, GPS, FM radio and a microUSB port for the usuals.
