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.
