smartron srt. PHone
Last year, Smartron decided to enter in the smartphone space with its t.phone. And this time it comes with another SRT.phone targeting mainstream consumers. The phone looks cool, however, it has standard Candybar design with rounded edges which gives you a firm grip. Despite having the plastic body, the phone feels so solid and lets you remove the back cover, but not the battery. It’s painted in gray with the matte finish that thankfully doesn’t work like a fingerprint magnet.
Vivid screen: The SRT.phone has 5.5 inches 1920 x 1080 pixels full HD vivid screen. The display produces good colors and has the great amount of brightness, enabling you to even use the phone in direct sunlight. I played some games and videos on the phone, it was quite enjoyable. Also, the screen comes with wide viewing angles so you can share the screen with your friends and family.
Average camera: The phone packs 13 MP camera at the rear with LED flash and has PDAF and a f/2.0 aperture. It focuses on object quickly in daylight and wide aperture lets allow you to create bokeh effect as well. While capturing images in daylight, it captures decent images with the good amount of color but lacks depth. But in low light conditions, the images comes with lots of grains and noise. It troubles in focusing on an object as well.
The front 5 MP camera is good for daylight selfies and groufies, however, in the low light conditions it also produces grains.
Good Performer: The phone packed with powerful hardware resulting amazing performance. Whether you play games or use other intensive apps, the phone runs smoothly without any hiccups. I installed games like NFS, Asphalt 8 and Mortal Kombat, it handled them easily, even while running all three at the same time. Also, there was not visible performance lag while switching between app.
The SRT.phone is powered by 3000 mAh battery that can easily last for more than a day in moderate usage. in our battery loop test, it lasted for 7 hours and 34 minutes while playing video over WiFi on full brightness and volume.
Bottomline: At the price, this is one of the perfect phones if you avoid the camera. The battery is great, you can run multiple apps without any hiccups, but has an average camera.
