BLU Studio 7.0 II Smartphone is like the teenager of mobile devices; not quite a standard smartphone, but also not even close to a tablet. Our society used to poke fun of the large phones of years passed, however, in recent years, the smartphone trend has moved toward a bigger device. So, what’s the truth? Is the larger the smartphone the better for presenters? Here are 3 features that just might sway a presenter to the BLU Studio 7.0 II Smartphone:
1. Price
Selling for $110 or less, the BLU Studio 7.0 Smartphone seems like a great fit for the presenter on a low budget or with a limited set of technology skills. Compared to the 12.9-inch iPad Pro 32GB ($799) or the 9.7-inch iPad Pro 32GB ($599), this smartphone costs a fraction of these prices. The closest iPad within the price range of the BLU Studio 7.0 Smartphone is the iPad mini 2, which is still sold for $319 for 32GB. This larger smartphone is a budget-friendly option for any presenter. But let’s take into account 2 other qualities of the device.
2. Portability
The BLU Studio 7.0 Smartphone fits (just barely) in your pocket. The screen is larger than your typical smartphone and your standard tablet – making it ideal for working on your presentation. Since the BLU Studio 7.0 Smartphone runs on Google, you can alter your deck using Google Slides or a PowerPoint application. Although it may not be a super smooth experience, it is possible for a presenter to navigate through their presentation narrative and make changes on the plane or on the road at a rest stop. Just slip it in a side pocket of a carrying case and you are ready to go.
3. Power
Although it originally has 8GB of storage, you can upgrade to a 16 or 32GB option. Operating on an Android system, it has the basic presentation apps you need to make minor edits when necessary. On the other hand, this smartphone-tablet mashup will likely not have the maximum amount of power and functionality required for the daily presenter’s uses.
Conclusion
Ultimately, the tech-savvy presenter should probably opt for an actual tablet such as the iPad Pro 9.7 instead of this larger version of the classic smartphone. But if budget and tech capabilities are a sticking point for you, then the BLU Studio 7.0 II Smartphone would be a middle ground choice – delivering the fundamental functionality you seek and the space to work on a presentation and view speaker’s notes on slides as you give a talk. If you’ve settled on purchasing the device, we suggest complementing it with this KuGi case, which includes a protective cover and stand for when you are delivering your presentation.
