Smartron t.Phone P review

Comes close enough to the best budget smartphone

Battery Life

The major highlight of the t.Phone P is its 5,000 mAh battery capacity. On a single charge, the phone gave us a day and a half's worth of usage before dropping to 10%. 

Considering we use smartphones pretty aggressively, a basic user should get about two full days of usage on a single charge with the t.Phone P. It also comes with reverse charge support, allowing it to charge other devices as well.

The phone doesn’t support fast charging, which is why it took us close to 2.5 hours to charge from 0% to 100%. It is a disappointment that the t.Phone P doesn’t support fast charge even after having such a high capacity battery.

Verdict

What can you possibly get for Rs 7,999 that works?

This is the question the t.Phone P answers. It’s got a humongous battery, good hardware and clean software. Though the camera department is a hit and miss affair, this Smartron phone comes a close second to Xiaomi’s Redmi Y1 or Redmi 4.

The Smartron t.Phone P is well built and has good battery life. If that's your priority, this phone is worth considering. However, Xiaomi's Redmi Y1 is a better fit for those who want good selfies, while the Redmi 4 remains the best smartphones under Rs. 10,000 right now.
