Symphony Atom 2 Full Review with Price
Look and Feel
Atom 2 has a plastic-made body (164.7 by 75.85 by 8.4mm) that weighs around 190g. This device is slim and easy-to-manage. Its front-side is made of glass, which is quite among the competitor phones under this budget.

The other necessary ports, including the volume rocker, power button, SIM Card tray, microphone, 3.5mm port, audio jack, and a customizable Google assistant button are placed along the four sides of the phone. The bezel looks average.
The rear camera panel is placed on the top left side of its back panel. You will find the speaker grill near the bottom side of its rear panel. Furthermore, there is a fingerprint sensor on the back panel of Symphony Atom 2.
Users will get four different color variations to choose one from. They are Jolly Blue, Pine Green, Midnight Blue, and Mint Green. The rear cover has a textured panel featuring nice sunlight gradient design.

Display
A 6.52-inch display has been installed in Atom 2, which features an HD+ resolution of 1600 ×720 pixels. Apart from it, the brightness level has been kept 269nits for the phone. Though it’s not something impressive, users will get a standard display experience. You can easily operate the handset amid a dazzling environment setting the level of brightness level to the highest. The touch response and refresh rate feel okay while operating.
Cameras
There is a dual-camera panel on the back of the Symphony Atom 2. The panel rooms an 8 MP primary camera along with a 0.8MP assisting lens. All the essential features are included with both cameras. In proper lighting conditions, the quality of the snaps is as good as one can expect from a super budget-friendly phone.

The front-facing camera, which is also an 8MP lens, can capture a clear portrait in adequate sunlight. Regardless of some issues like washed-out pictures, over-exposing effects, or some extra noises, Atom-II’s pictures will still satisfy the users. Because the Symphony Atom 2 cameras still exceed the expectation level for such a low-priced phone.
Features like night mode, HDR, panorama, burst, time-lapse, AI scene recognition, display flash, and composition line are associated with the cameras.
You can capture videos at 1080p resolution and a maximum of 30 frames per second. Lack of stability mode can leave a shaky vibes in the captured video clips.

Performance
The Symphony Atom 2 is not a gaming device. Though the low specs Android games might run without showing any issues, the high specs games like Call of Duty, PUBG, or Asphalt are totally unplayable in this device. However, playing mid-level games like Free Fire could be a fair possibility.
No way to blame the phone or the manufactured company for the incapability of Atom 2 to run high-level games. Anyone can say it has tried its best to introduce power. An octa-core UNISOC SC9863A chipset with 1.6GHz clock power is the best one can get from a phone with such minimal price. To give it more power, an IMG GE8322 GUI has been installed. So, graphical decoding doesn’t fall to the standard level.
Atom 2 runs by Android 10’s GO Edition which is quite user-friendly. It has some bloat-wares, which can be uninstalled easily.

However, this phone is provided with 2GB RAM supported by 32 GB internal storage. This configuration seems might quite inadequate in today’s world. However, using an external memory card you can enhance the memory up to 128GB. Keep the storage free to get better functionality from this device.
Apart from these, app installation, multitasking, internet browsing, and other activities seem seamless. For sensors, the phone installs fingerprint, notification sensor light, face recognition, proximity, and accelerometer. It also has a GPS system.
Battery and Charging
A Li-po 4000mAh battery arrives with the Symphony Atom 2. As the phone doesn’t go well with high-resolution games, the battery is capable of supporting the phone for one to two days on average. With minimal use, users can even get more than one-day battery support. The battery is non-removable and provides 24-hour talk time coverage.
You will get a 7.5W charger with the phone. It takes about 2.5 hours to fully charge the battery.

Symphony Atom 2 Price in Bangladesh
Symphony Mobile has made only one variant of Atom II available in Bangladesh. The variant is of 2GB RAM coupled with 32GB default storage. You can grab this phone by spending only BDT 7,790.
Final Verdict
The most vital selling point of Atom 2 is probably its highly affordable price. You can hardly find a mid-functioned Smartphone for much less than the price of this device. Symphony's take on Android 10 is also laudable.
The Symphony Atom 2 lacks sufficient RAM, some connectivity features, and its built-in specifications create a mediocre experience. So, in terms of this phone, it would be best to live with the essentials.
The Symphony Atom2 cameras will do and get you some average-quality photographs. But if you want singing and dancing photographs, you should look for the camera-centric phones spending a little more money.
Overall, by its budget and offered features, the new Symphony Atom 2 can be good pick for the senior citizens or an additional phone for the youths.

Motorola Moto G10 Review with Full Specs and Price
Building some devices on razor-thin margins, the Motorola G series has lasted a long time. Since the debut of the original Moto G, Motorola has maintained its dominance in the low-budget price range, giving us a Moto G10 victory lap. Not to mention, many similarly priced rivals have vanished in this period. Even by Moto G standards, the Moto G10 is uncomfortably cheap. And as it seems, Motorola has managed to manufacture a good phone for a price less than that of the Moto G9 Play. This article will elaborate on all the details of that Motorola release.
Key Features of Motorola Moto G10
Design
The Moto G10 appears to have a large part of its DNA in common with that of the G9 series. However, this time, Motorola has attempted something a bit different with the shell. It has added 29 textured waves at the back. Unlike every other phone, the handset's trash disposal information is printed on the bottom of the phone near the USB charging connection rather than on the back.
The fingerprint scanner is placed in the circular Motorola logo on the phone's back, while the four cameras are housed within a rectangular hump in the upper left-hand corner, just like the G9 series. The phone comes in two color variants- Aurora Grey and Sakura Pearl.
Read: OnePlus 9R review: Is it a flagship killer?
Screen
The display on the Moto G10 isn't going to blow you away in many aspects. But it's just about decent enough for movie watching and web browsing. However, it's low resolution (720 x 1600 pixels), lacks HDR capability, and is pretty dim.
In terms of canvas size, it's large and big, measuring 6.5 inches from corner to corner. So it'll suffice for your video streaming apps. Though the bottom chin is a bit wide, its bezels are slim. And, there's a teardrop -camera-notch on top of the screen that houses the selfie camera.
The screen comes with a low refresh rate of 60Hz. It's a serious step down if you're accustomed to the 90Hz or 120Hz refresh rates offered by many standard phones on the market.
Read Walton Primo R8 Review: Affordable phone with attractive features
Cameras
On the front side, the phone sports an 8MP selfie camera. And on the back side, there's a quad-camera series featuring combination of a 48MP wide sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide sensor, a 2MP macro sensor, and a 2MP depth sensor.
The phone's photo and video-taking capabilities are on pace with what you'd expect from a phone with this price tag. In other words, it captures some good photos in good light but struggles when it comes to difficult photographs in low light or with moving subjects. The phone's slower internal components are seen in the interface, which can be fairly sluggish at times and has a shutter speed that isn't up to par with the best in the market.
The Moto G10 has a night mode that increases brightness and detail if you can keep the phone steady for a few seconds longer. It works fine, and it's safe to say that the Moto G10 can take some passable night images - even if you lose a lot of detail and clarity in low light.
Read Tecno Spark 7 review: The entry-level gaming phone of 2021
Hardware and Performance
The Moto G10 is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 460 CPU powered by 4GB RAM. You shouldn't expect too much efficiency from this low-end processor in terms of performance.
The phone's low-level specs are reflected in Geekbench's 5 scores of 241 (single-core), 1094 (multi-core), and 267 (OpenCL), which are exceeded by the ancestor Moto G9 Play. T can be said that G10 is quite a sluggish phone.
The Moto G10 has been tested with a couple of pretty demanding racing games, and its performance was admirable. The games played smoothly, though frame rates and loading windows were occasionally choppy. Casual games will run smoothly on the device, but if you're serious about Android gaming, you can look for alternative gaming-centric devices.
Read Samsung Galaxy A32 Review with Price in Bangladesh
Battery Capacity and The Charger
The Moto G10's 5,000mAh battery does an admirable job of staying between charges, and the device can survive a couple of days of regular use with its battery capacity.
There's no wireless charging here, as is typical of budget phones. And, its wired charging speed is limited to 10W, which is rather low even for an entry-level phone nowadays. To get fully charged the phone would take several hours. At the very least, Motorola has chosen USB-C for the charging port, which is a welcome respite.

Moto G10 Price in Bangladesh
The phone is currently available only in one variant in Bangladesh. This variant has 4GB RAM and 64GB internal storage. The official price of the Motorola Moto G10 is BDT 15,599.
Final Verdict
Overall, Motorola Moto G10 offers a good package with a standard design, display, battery, camera, as well as brand value. Motorola's take on Android is also commendable, and the phone runs Android 11 as well, which is more than most other manufacturers' offers.
The Moto G10's camera will do the job and get you some good photographs. However, if you want photographs that really stand out, you'll have to spend a little more money.
The Moto G10's strongest selling point is probably its extremely low price. You can hardly find a good package in this price range
On the downside, Moto G10 lacks 5G connectivity, and its internal specifications result in a mediocre software experience. Under this price range we have seen better performance in the competitor phones. When it comes to this phone, it's best to stick to the essentials.

OnePlus 9R review: Is it a flagship killer?
From its first released smartphone to the latest releases, OnePlus has surely impacted the modern smartphone market. Patrons have seen the company introducing flagship killer devices one after another. However, for the last few months, it seems, the company has derailed from its original mission. It is more like OnePlus is concentrating on making flagship products. The same effort we can see in one of its latest releases OnePlus 9R model. Though the phone borrows many of its features from a few other prior releases, the phone still has its own uniqueness. This OnePlus 9R review will go through all that details. Keep tuned.
OnePlus 9R Review - Feature by Feature
Design
When it comes to smartphone design, OnePlus has always been a standout choice. If you long for a device with a unique design, the phone can disappoint you. But if you want an unobtrusive handset, the OnePlus 9R can be your pick. Both the front and backside of this phone are built with Gorilla Glass 5. And, the body frame is built with Aluminum.

Display
The OnePlus 9R features a screen that is identical to that of the OnePlus 8T and OnePlus 9. It is a flat 6.55-inch Fluid AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It supports HDR10+. It will give you a quick and responsive display experience as the refresh rate is high.
The overall color reproduction is good, and the contrast levels are likewise suitable. A special 'Vibrant Color Effect' is available under the display options, which is claimed to optimize video colors and contrast to make it look more vivid. In addition, users can tweak the display's color temperature as well as the refresh rate.

Software and Performance
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 SoC powers the OnePlus 9R. According to Qualcomm, it is more powerful than last year's flagship processor, the Snapdragon 865+. And it sits just below this year's most powerful CPU, the Snapdragon 888. Combined with a powerful GUI, it will let users play all the high config games with much comfort.
OnePlus 9R's is smooth in day-to-day operation, and users won't experience any lagging or frame freezing.
Apps opening, switching between them, or browsing the internet for hours with multiple apps running in the background, the handset responds quickly to all types of actions.
The phone is backed by Android 11 with the OxygenOS 11.2 UI custom overlay. On the smartphone, you can change the theme, text color, icon shapes, and font.
The OnePlus 9R features a 40 Hz touch sampling rate that allows users to utilize up to five fingers simultaneously, as well as an X-axis linear motor that can be tweaked to provide dynamic vibration that can imitate different forms of in-game vibrations.
Lenses and Captures
The OnePlus 9R falls short slightly in capability compared to its other OnePlus 9 siblings, and its camera specs are identical to those of the OnePlus 8T model from last year. Starting with the selfie camera, users will have a 16MP sensor that captures detailed but soft photographs even when the beautiful setting is turned off.
Read: Itel Vision 2 Plus Review – Stylish, Yet Typical
A quad-camera configuration on the rear features a 48MP Sony IMX586 primary camera with 6P lens glass, OIS, EIS, and f/1.7 aperture. Additionally, it includes a 16MP ultrawide camera with an f/2.2 aperture and a 123-degree field of view, a 5MP macro lens, and a 2MP monochrome lens.
In terms of image quality, you don't get the Hasselblad-infused dedicated features, but you do get an overall well-balanced output.
The images captured in the daylight are vivid and bright — with just the right amount of color reproduction.
The ultrawide angle sensor exhibits slight distortion, but nothing glaring. The detail in the zoomed-in shots is also excellent.
Battery and Charger
The OnePlus 9R presents a 4500mAh mid-powered battery and a 65W fast charger. Depending on your usage, which ranges from moderate to heavy, you should be able to get a full day's worth of use or more without having to run to the charger every few hours.
The superfast charger takes only around 45 minutes to fill up the empty battery. However, it shares an older design with a Type-A port rather than the Type-C port found on other OnePlus 9 models.

Though Wifi and mobile network performs well, sometimes you may face difficulties to listen clearly during calls. OnePlus 9R’s Oxygen OS is criticized for its bugs that cause diverse issues. Not to mention, OnePlus should be careful about the software stability issue. And, the price tag of OnePlus 9R questions its label of ‘Flagship Killer’.
In terms of specs, the device is similar to the OnePlus 8T, or Samsung Galaxy S20 FE, or Redmi K40 Pro, which are currently cheaper than the OnePlus 9R. Unless you are a diehard fan of OnePlus, this phone isn't recommended. However, if you want a good-looking phone that ticks all the necessary boxes, there's a lot to like about it.

Redmi Note 8 2021 Edition: Can it overcome the drawbacks?
In the first week of May, Xiaomi confirmed that the Redmi Note 8 is coming back. With so many new features and specifications, this phone is returning with a new twist called Redmi Note 8 2021. Xiaomi set a kind of revolution by selling this phone from 2019 to 2020! Launched in 2019, the phone sold at least 25 million units, setting a benchmark for the popular Chinese smartphone maker.
There is a lot of speculation in the market right now about the new version of the 2021 Redmi Note 8 model. The company has not yet announced when the official launch will take place. However, by combining speculation and multiple media reports, we have come to know a bunch of information about the Redmi Note 8 2021. Find out all the unknown information.
Drawbacks of Redmi Note 8 2021
Although the Note 8 2021 edition improved a lot of features, it still has some drawbacks. The first thing we would like to mention is the battery. It has a 4000mAh battery which is similar to the previous version. Therefore, there are no changes in the battery. So, offering 5000mAH would have been great.
Our research found that the macro sensor might not be stable. If your hand shakes while taking pictures with the macro sensor, it may produce a blurry photo.
Another cons we want to mention is that the phone might get hit up when you play games or use the multimedia function for a long time. But the good thing is that it cools down quickly too. Further, this phone will not support the 5G network, but you will be able to connect to 4G LTE effectively. These minor drawbacks should not change your buying decision if you are a fan of the Redmi Note 8.

Redmi Note 8 2021: Is it an upgrade or downgrade version of the old Note 8
Design
Xiaomi has already released the official render of this upcoming model. As can be seen in the photo shared by the company, there is a waterdrop notch on the display of the phone for the selfie camera. However, this feature was absent in the previous version. Bezels will catch your eye around the display.
One thing is clear from the render that the Redmi Note 8 2021 phone is going to be blue. It is unknown at this time if the phone will have any other color alternatives, but as per the released pictures, it might come in three colors, Neptune Blue, Moonlight White, and Space Black. The SIM slot is located as usual on the left side of the phone.
On the other hand, according to a report from GSMArena, the power and volume buttons are on the right side of the phone. Nevertheless, the Note 8 2021 looks similar to its previously launched original Note 8 from 2019.

Display
This Redmi Note 8 2021 phone has an LCD display with a refresh rate of 120Hz and a waterdrop notch for selfies. Other than that, most of the display features remain the same as the previous version. Both phones feature a 6.3-inch FHD+ pixels Dot Drop Display that comes with 1,080×2,340 pixel resolution. Further, a Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection is also there too.
Hardware
The newer edition will have a MediaTek Helio G85 processor, while the older has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 chipset. It is undoubtedly a major change. Although the chips are matched evenly, the SD 665 offers better efficiency in terms of energy consumption, as it provides a 12 nm manufacturing node. SD 665 also offers a higher CPU core frequency: 2200 Mhz vs. 2000Mhz. So, considering these performances, the Redmi Note 8 2019 version was much better.
On the other hand, Helio G85's Mali-G52 MP2 iGPU counters a higher clock rate than the SD 665's Adreno 610 (1,000 MHz vs. 600 MHz). Therefore, the newest version is much bigger in terms of shader unit count as well as the FLOPS. However, the Helio G85 is a newer processor, and it is more powerful as well as cheaper. This can help Xiaomi to charge less price.

Camera
There is no major change in cameras. Both Redmi Note 8 2021 and older Redmi Note 8 offer a 48-megapixel quad-camera system on the front camera system. This phone has a quad rear camera setup. However, nothing is known about the primary sensor. As a secondary camera, this phone has an 8MP ultra-wide-angle sensor, a 2MP macro cam, and another 2MP depth sensor. Redmi Note 8 2021 edition will have a 13MP front-facing camera for selfies and video calling.
Software
In terms of software, the Redmi Note 8 2021 will be powered by Android 11-based company's own MIUI 12.5 custom skin out of the box. However, the Note 8 came with the Android 9.0 (Pie), upgradable to Android 10, MIUI 12.
Memory
The Note 8 2019 offered two options regarding the RAM, 4GB, and 6GB. But the newest version will offer only 4GB RAM with 64 GB and 128 GB RAM.
Read: OPPO F19 Review with Price in Bangladesh
Battery
There are no significant changes in the battery capability except the 18W fast charging feature. The Redmi Note 8 2021 features a Li-Po 4000 mAh non-removable battery, which is similar to its previous version. However, some of the Xiaomi phones of similar price ranges have a more powerful battery than this.
Release Date and Price of Redmi Note 8 2021
Although the official release date is not confirmed yet, sources suggest that Redmi Note 8 2021 will be launched initially for the Russian and European markets. After that, it will be available for the whole world, including Asian countries. But we are not getting this phone before the end of July. It might be available in the Bangladeshi market unofficially after the launch in Europe.
However, the price is not confirmed yet. But the approximate price can be $169 (Tk. 14,400 at $1= Tk. 85.17 rate) for the 4GB/64GB variation and $189 (Tk. 16,000 at = Tk. 85.17 rate). With this price you will need to add the taxes too.

Itel Vision 2 Plus Review – Stylish, Yet Typical
The smartphone market is right now brimmed with low-budget phones. One great reason behind this is smartphone parts are becoming cheaper with time. The power and features you can get within an entry-level phone were unimaginable even a couple of years ago. Itel has a goal to offer quality smartphones to consumers who are looking for cheap phones. Objectifying the same goal, the company has introduced another handset, “Itel Vision 2 Plus.” By its name, it is the descendant of the priorly released Itel Vision 2. This Itel Vision 2 Plus review will go through all the nitty-gritty details of the phone.
Itel Vision 2 Plus Full Review
Itel first announced the installation of Itel Vision 2 Plus in May 2021, and later in the same month, the phone got released. While their many features lent from its ancestral model Vision 2, a couple of tweaks have also been made.
Design
The hurdle of manufacturing an entry-level phone is making a balance among all the features. In most budget-phones are some strong and weak points. When it comes to Itel Vision 2 Plus, its design is one of the best features. It has around 7 inches giant body that is difficult to operate with one hand.
The rear cover has a matte and textured finish. The texture is elegantly designed as it can only felt with a hand. Visualizing it is not easy from even a near distance. This specific finish has made the cover less sensitive to staining.
The back has a dual camera panel on the upper left, a fingerprint sensor on the upper middle. It can be a little hurdle to reach the sensor as it might felt a bit higher than usual. A volume rocker with a power button is placed on the right side of the phone. On the left is a multi-channel dual sim cardholder. At the bottom, a mic, an audio jack, and a mini loudspeaker crowd.

Display
An IPS Full HD display might not ring the bell even when it comes with an entry-level phone. But what must beat the drum is getting a 6.8” IPS display featuring 720P resolution. The giant screen is a unique addition to a phone with such a minimal rate. Moreover, it has a 60-Hz display which justifies the phone. The touch response was not bad at all.
However, the brightness of the phone is an issue in the presence of bright light. On the outside, even with full brightness, the display will show itself much. The color projection on the screen feels a bit wishy-washy as it lacks standard contrast. Still, it is better compared to other similarly rated phones in the market.

Lenses and Snaps
The rear camera panel contains two cameras. The primary one is a 13MP lens which is accompanied by a 0.3MP depth sensor. Cameras can break hearts if they are expected to deliver super-quality pictures. They will give as much as a low-budget phone should do.
Daylight snaps are of good quality and project near perfect color range. However, they can seem a bit washed out as edge detection capacity is not up to the mark. Lowlight captures are not satisfactory as noise level overwhelms them.
The secondary selfie camera is an 8MP lens that processes pictures that seem a bit washed out. Apart from it, the amount of brightness and color synchronization seems acceptable.

Hardware and Performance
The first reminder to the buyer of an entry-level phone is that he/she must compromise the performance. However, as it seems, Itel Vision 2 Plus has tried its best to incorporate a standard-level processor. The octa-core Spreadtrum UniSoC SC9863A chipset is not something people can get in such priced phones. Besides, the PowerVR GE8322 GPU has only strengthened the phone’s performance.
This results in smooth regular task execution and multi-tasking. Users can also play low requirement games as long as they want. Such games will give them a lag-free, seamless experience.
However, if anyone wants to play games PUBG, or Call of Duty, or Asphalt 9, and other high config games, he will be disappointed. They are unplayable with this phone.
Another disappointment for the users is the operating system implemented in the Itel Vision 2 Plus. The company should have gone for the Android 11 instead of Android 10 GO Edition.

Battery and Charging
A huge 5000mAh battery is definitely pleasing when it comes to such a reasonable price. This extra-large battery will easily keep the phone alive for at least 8 to 10 hours. With limited use, it can even sustain more than a day.
But what users can’t believe is the 5W charger that comes with the phone. It’s still a wonder how Itel decided to offer such a weak charger to fill up a battery that size. It’s like filling a water Jug with a tablespoon. The charger takes around 6 to 7 hours to feed the battery to its head.

Itel has made only one variant of Vision 2 Plus available in Bangladesh. It has 2GB RAM and 32GB internal memory. Interested people can get this phone at BDT 8,990. Though the price is unimaginably low, still the offered RAM capacity is a major downside for it. Even its ancestor phone Itel Vision 2 offers 3GB RAM. Depreciation in such an important feature is definitely a bad play from the smartphone company’s end.

Final Verdict
Like all the other phones, Itel Vision 2 Plus has its own perks and disadvantages. The minimal price, large display, and ginormous battery surely play by the phone’s side. While the insufficient RAM, poor phone performance, camera performance, etc. downsize the phone’s overall quality. The phone will be the perfect fit for people who has a tight budget and still want a smartphone for regular tasks. Otherwise, buying this phone will be disappointing.
Walton Primo R8 Review: Affordable phone with attractive features
The proud Bangladeshi electronics company Walton has released its latest smartphone Walton Primo R8 in May 2021. This new device is going to be another great addition to the entry-level Walton smartphone series. Here the company has tried to bring power within a small budget requirement. People have already been curious about the phone. In this Walton Primo R8 review, we are going to discuss the features, drawbacks, and specifications of this phone.
Walton Primo R8 Review: Detailed and Thorough
Design
When it comes to the design, users might feel a lack of nobility. There is nothing new in terms of the external look of Walton Primo R8. The overall design implemented has been used many times in many smartphones by different smartphone companies. So, no matter what features make Walton Primo R8 a viable option to the users, its design is definitely not that feature.
The matte-finished rear cover has a gradient tone and texture. Effective as it is less sensitive to finger stains and other trivial scratches. The back of the smartphone has a dual-camera pane, and beside it is a fingerprint sensor. There is one mentionable aspect of this sensor. It responds a bit slower. It takes like one and a half-second to unlock the phone after being touched.
At the right side of the phone are the volume rockers and the power button. At left are a sim card tray and a Google Assistant key. The top is totally clean when at the bottom stay a Type-C port, microphone, and headset jack. Walton has placed the loudspeaker in the lower-right area on the back of the phone. This is a pretty outdated idea nowadays.

Display
A 6.5-inch-high definition IPS display with a 20:9 ratio display will blow consumers’ minds surely. Its 720p resolution may feel a bit lower. As playing videos, it might feel a bit fader than the original sharpness. Other elements like clarity, color distribution, etc., are proper.
The refresh rate feels higher as the phone doesn’t lag or stumble while responding to the touch instruction. People will find the display brightness typically low like other reasonably-priced phones. In sunny or bright areas, the display goes dark and becomes hard to see.
A waterdrop camera notch has been used at the middle top of the display, which doesn’t bother anything. The chin and bezels are also thin enough to give a minimal look to the overall look of Walton Primo R8.

Lenses and Captures
The most exciting feature that raises Walton Primo R8 above all its competitors is its cameras. The clarity, details, and quality all the cameras of the phone reflect on taken pictures are unmatchable. There are only a few low-budget phones in the market that can capture the same quality picture.
The primary camera panel rooms a 13MP primary camera and a 2MP depth-sensing lens. Users will be happy with the quality of the pictures. They will have sharp detailing with precisely rasterized colors. The presence of daylight will help to get the best quality pictures. As in nighttime, or darker places, lenses fail to show proper detailing and create noise.
The secondary camera of the 8MP lens is also countable. Especially it can process really good-looking portraits. Which will definitely please the users. In terms of cameras, Walton Primo R8 exceeds the maximum expectation.

Hardware, Software, and Performance
Octa-core Helio G35 SoC with a 2.3 GHz clock speed has been used as the processor. The chipset is not uncommon nowadays. Most smartphone companies are using this same chipset for their low-budget handsets. Walton is mentioning a Hyper Engine technology that supports the system. The smartphone company is claiming that it has added an extra layer to the gaming performance of the phone. But that is not quite the actual scenario.
Even combined with the IMG PowerVR GE8320 GPU, high-performance games are not welcome on the phone. Users can play them only by lowering their graphics and other requirements. However, where the phone is a gem is in playing mid and low-config games. This still is a considerable feature as other similarly priced are not as good as Walton Primo R8.
What is more? The Primo R8 is blessed with 4GB RAM with 64GB internal storage. Not to mention, this is a great combination under its price range.
When it comes to software, the handset can break users’ hearts for real. Primo R8 has used the Android 10 OS while Android 11 has become available before its release.
Read Infinix Hot 10 Play Review with Price in Bangladesh
Battery and Charging
Walton Primo R8 has used a big 5000 mAh battery. This huge energy source will support a user all day long. With even heavy use, anyone will be able to run the phone for six to seven hours straight. Regular users can expect at least a whole day of battery support from it. Battey is a pleasing point of Primo R8, without a doubt.
But this pleasure falls down a bit for the 10W charger that comes with the phone. It takes considerably long time to charge the Primo R8 phone to its fullest. A 15W fast charging would be more favorable for the users.

Price in Bangladesh
Walton Primo R8 has played simply for the consumers. It has launched only one variant of the phone. With 4GB RAM and 128GB internal storage, Walton Primo R8 is available at BDT 10,699. The price unimaginably lower, judging the features coming with the phone.
Final Verdicts
Well, surely, Walton Primo 8 offers a full package under budget. With the wide display, standard design, great cameras, powerful processor, huge battery, spacious internal with a powerful RAM, the phone is attractive in every possible way. However, it wouldn’t be a great idea to buy the phone solely for gaming. Because the phone is not quite a gaming phone. But people who want a regular phone with great cameras in the minimum budget can choose Walton Primo R8 without hesitation.
