Performance
Running on Android 6.0 (Marshmallow), the BLU Grand Energy is powered by the MediaTek MT6580 chipset, which includes a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and a Mali-400MP2 GPU. This hardware configuration was adequate for basic smartphone functions and casual use but struggled with more demanding applications or multitasking due to its limited 1GB of RAM. Users looking for a device to handle simple telephony and social media tasks would find this configuration generally adequate. However, the 8GB internal storage, expandable via microSDHC, often required users to rely on external storage solutions for media and app downloads.
