The display is 5", IPS LCD and 294 ppi. It packs Mali-400 GPU and 1 GB of RAM and 16 GB of storage. Battery life comes from a 2,000 mAh battery. The main camera is 8 MP, handy for streamers who post gameplay with a selfie. Connectivity: Wi-Fi 4, Bluetooth 4.0, microUSB 2.0. The phone weighs 150 g and measures 143.3 x 72 x 8.9 mm. It ships with Android 5.1 (Lollipop). For Free Fire, the BLU Studio M HD does not run — 1 GB of RAM is below the 2 GB minimum required by Free Fire.

How the gaming Score is calculated
The score is a weighted average of the device's compatibility with each of the 8 games evaluated. Each game gets a verdict (0 to 100) and a weight, and the final score is the average of those points.
- Won't run — 0 points
- Runs on low — 25 points
- Runs on medium — 55 points
- Runs on high — 80 points
- Runs competitive — 100 points
Heavy games (Genshin Impact, PUBG Mobile, CoD Mobile) carry more weight than light games (Subway Surfers, Brawl Stars), because running the heavy one already implies handling the light one. Each game's verdict combines chipset (tier or real AnTuTu), minimum RAM, screen refresh rate and operating system.
