5 reasons the WIKO T10 is the best stylish pick under PHP 5K

Along with the T50, newcomer French mobile maker WIKO released the budget T10 in the Philippines last month.

Meet WIKO T10

As a quick recap, it is a PHP 4,999 smartphone boasting a modern and stylish look, big screen, large battery capacity, and many more.

Today, we share with you its highlights so you can check if this is the one for you.

5 reasons the WIKO T10 is the best stylish pick under PHP 5K

1. Generous 64GB internal storage - Some under PHP 5K phones still have smaller storage options. Thankfully, that is not the case with the WIKO T10.

The company equipped it with an ample 64GB ROM to allow its users to store plenty of apps, photos, videos, music, and different types of files even if you don't have an extra microSD card.

But when needed, it is even expandable up to 512GB if you purchase an aftermarket microSD card. Pretty sweet!

USB-C on a budget

2. Huge battery capacity - As mentioned earlier, the WIKO T10 is a slim and sleek budget smartphone, but it has a massive battery capacity.

In particular, the device is boasting a large 5,000mAh capacity. WIKO claimed that it can do up to 50 hours of audio playback, 30 hours of calling, and 20 hours of video playback.

In our test, while using the handset as a secondary phone, it lasted for a little more than 2 days on a single charge.

Oh, it even has a USB-C reversible connector which is very rare at this price point.

6.5-inch screen

3. Big display - In front, the T10 is using a BIG 6.5-inch LCD screen with respectable HD+ 1600 x 720 resolution at 270 ppi.

This big screen has respectable color accuracy that worked pretty well browsing the internet, checking your social media account, and even watching your favorite shows and videos on Netflix or YouTube.

It is also reasonably bright and even comes with a low blue light protection mode to prevent eye strain when using the phone in the dark.

4. Decent cameras - At the back, the WIKO T10 is sporting a single 13MP camera. But, it has an f/1.8 aperture size suggesting that it can do a decent job in low light. In front, it goes with a 5MP f/2.2 snapper.

Night mode

In our quick experience, the device was able to capture respectable shots in daylight and indoors. To our surprise, it even has a Night mode which allowed us to a few low-light shots with just a few grains and controlled exposure.

Just don't compare it with Night shots from expensive phones. But, this is not bad for a budget device.

5. Neat design and Android 11 (Go edition) - The T10 may be a budget smartphone, but WIKO didn't forget to make it look good.

Stylish back cover

On the back, the device is available in Emerald Green and Midnight Black colors. It has a curved look with geometric triangular-like patterns that shine when the light hits it at several angles. Moreover, it has a grippy texture that makes it not that prone to fingerprint smudges and hairline scratches. The back cover also has a rectangular camera hump with rounded corners and smooth edges.

The 2.5D curved display also has a 2.13 mm slim bezel and an 89.3 percent screen-to-body ratio. It has a small-for-the-price waterdrop notch as well.

The device measures just 163.9 x 75.8 x 8.97 mm and weighs 192 grams even if it has a large battery capacity.

This design looks respectable and fashionable enough even for those with picky taste.

Lightweight OS

Even if this is a budget phone, the WIKO T10 is not slow. In fact, it is reasonably responsive and better than expected.

According to WIKO, its use of the Android 11 (Go edition) OS is the one responsible for this. This is a lightweight Android OS with a 15 percent faster start-up speed and can free more RAM. It isn't the full version of Android, but it is ideal for lower-end devices to ensure that they will still be reasonably snappy.

We even like that it has a clean user interface.
