Verdict

The Smartron t.phone is a nice looking phone. In a pile of full-metal body smartphones, it proudly boasts a plastic frame, and still manages to ace the design game. It offers one of the better displays we’ve seen of late and delivers decent battery life as well.

The Smartron t.phone is a nice looking phone. In a pile of full-metal body smartphones, it proudly boasts a plastic frame, and still manages to ace the design game. It offers one of the better displays we’ve seen of late and delivers decent battery life as well. However, you can’t expect much in the camera and performance department.In the upper mid-range segment, the smartphone that’s topping the charts is the OnePlus 3 (review), though it falls on the more expensive side at Rs 27,999, as compared to Smartron t.phone’s Rs 24,999. The immediate competition to the Smartron device includes the 3GB RAM variant of the Xiaomi Mi 5 (review) which is relatively more compact with its 5.15-inch display, and gets its grunt from the powerful SD820 SoC. The 4GB RAM model of the LeEco Le Max2 is another rival for the t.phone and betters what’s best about the Smartron device by boasting a 2K display. The Le Max 2 also gets a better processor and camera. For a significantly lesser price you can also get the newly-launched ASUS ZenFone 3 (unboxing first impressions) which is powered by a newer Snapdragon 625 chip, and supposedly sports an amazing camera.The competition is way ahead. While the made-in-India t.phone seems like a decent debut from a new homegrown startup at first glance, a deeper analysis reveals that it’s only good enough for basic usage. Unfortunately, nobody spends Rs 24,999 for basic usage these days. We won’t recommend anyone to, either. 

    Pros

  • Good display
  • Interesting design
  • Stock Android

    Cons

Specs at a Glance +
Design: Not Your Average Design Language +

Where a bunch of bigger names in the industry have failed to innovate and have found it better to stick with the full-metal, somewhat iPhone 6s-like design language, the Smartron t.phone dons a plastic body like a boss. Available in four intriguing dual-tone colour variants, the t.phone is especially light with its plastic body, and yet, has been designed to have you mistake it for a metal-body smartphone, credits to which goes to the matte yet subtly shimmery finish on the chassis.

Display: Bright Hues, Deep Blacks +

We’ve told you a couple of times already that the handset sports a 5.5-inch screen, and it comes with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 and an oleophobic coating on top. It’s a full HD super AMOLED display and looks pretty sharp when viewed from a normal distance. However, if you’re really stubborn and will try to discern pixels, it would simply require looking a little closely at the display. Since most people do not do that, we’ll give the t.phone this one.

Cameras: Mostly Disappointing +

The t.phones sports a 13MP phase primary camera with phase detection autofocus, and assisted by a dual-LED flash, and a 4UP front camera. Contradicting what these numbers might have you believe, the camera performance on the t.phone is below average. However, before getting into that, let us tell you about the default camera app UI on the t.phone.

Software: Stock Delight +

It’s always a pleasant surprise to unlock a smartphone and be greeted by stock interface, and that is precisely what the Smartron t.phone offers. It runs Android Marshmallow, with no custom skin on top.

Performance: A Mixed Bag +

Powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 chip, the Smartron t.phone gets 4GB of RAM, and an integrated Adreno 430 GPU. The built-in storage is rated at 64GB, and the phone allows you to use 54 gigs out of it. You also get unlimited storage on the t.cloud, and an option to expand up to 128GB if 54GB doesn’t sound enough. We’ve been using the t.phone for a while now, and it handles everyday use easily. However, you will experience a tiny lag when launching new apps, or switching windows. It does not feel very swift for a device sporting 4 gigs of RAM.

Battery and Connectivity: On Par With The Standard +

The t.phone scores above average in this department. Backed by a 3,000mAh battery, it manages to cruise through the day with mixed usage.
