BLU releases a new line of affordable dual-SIM Android troopers sans LTE capabilities

The BLU Studio 5.0 C, on the other hand, is a toned-down version of the Studio 5.0 C HD. It is powered by a dual-core MediaTek MT6572 SoC, sports 512MB of RAM, a 5MP rear snapper, and a 1,800mAh battery. The resolution of the 5-inch display has been downgraded to 480 x 854 pixels. Once again, LTE is lacking, and the Studio 5.0 C only supports the HSPA+ standard. Its price tag? $109 for an unlocked one.

Another representative of BLU's entry-level KitKat line is the Studio 5.0 CE and it's hands-down the most underwhelming one – starting from its dual-core MediaTek MT6571 heart, the 5.0-inch display with a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, a 3.2MP rear camera. Yes, it also comes with 4GB of RAM and a microSD card expansion slot, but the Studio 5.0 CE even lacks the ability to hook onto 3G networks. You can only use it on supported EDGE networks. That's what you get for the $89 that the BLU Studio 5.0 CE will set you back.

The last new BLU device, the Studio C Mini, is the most compact one. It comes with a 4.7-inch IPS display, a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, a quad-core MediaTek MT6582, humming at 1.3GHz, 512MB of RAM, and a 5MP rear shooter. Its other specs are similar to the ones of the Studio 5.0 C HD, but it comes in cheaper than its more powerful peer - $119.

All of BLU's new devices can be purchased from Amazon and will work on any US GSM network, so if you are not picky and currently on the market for an affordable phone, you might consider the colorful series.
