This review is written with AI assistance from BLU’s published specifications and public benchmark data for the BLU Studio C 8+8, and the rating is spec-based. GoSolo does not physically test devices; where we estimate real-world behaviour such as battery life or charge time, we say so. How we rate phones.

Overview

The BLU Studio C 8+8 is a 2016 budget phone that feels dated even by mid-range standards of its era, hobbled by a weak 1.3 GHz quad-core processor, just 1GB RAM, and no 4G. It has a removable battery and microSD slot, which are practical touches, but the rest of the hardware—dual 8MP cameras, a 3000 mAh battery, and aged Android 6.0—amounts to a phone that was already trailing behind when new and is not worth hunting down today.
