We are observing a device around BDT 10,000 budget released in 2023. The expectation should be very low, but there are plenty of buyers looking for the best possible smartphone at this exact price. Well folks, the Symphony Z60 has brightened our day. Now, you can purchase something that you can be proud to carry, a great value for money mobile phone with upgraded design and specs. But first let us tell you its only drawback. The phone runs on Android 12 version and you would want an Android 13 or 14 phone at this point.
That being said, it’s still very hard to ignore this device. After all, our budget is just around BDT 10,000. We are getting a glass back phone, a punch-hole display and overall a gorgeous-looking design. There is a USB Type-C port on the bottom and a smooth 90Hz refresh rate with HD+ quality. It’s perfect in terms of design and display. Both the 52 MP primary camera and the 8 MP selfie shooter are up to the mark. Yes, you’ll see a bit of soft tones, but the colors are so natural and the details very impressive. If we keep an eye on the cost, of course, you’ll hardly find any camera as good as this one.
An 18W charger (yes, included in the box) is one of the biggest advantages when most will offer you a 10W charger. It takes a little more than 2 hours to fully charge the machine. You can take the 3 GB RAM but it’s well-worth to pay just 500 Taka more and get the 4 GB RAM model for much more peace of mind. You’ll have much smoother gaming and overall performance as it complements the 12 nm Unisoc T606 chipset better. Then take the UFS 2.2 64 GB internal storage. What? UFS 2.2?! What? Even many mid-range phones are still coming with the lower eMMC 5.1 storage. But hold on there. What will you say about the secondary noise cancellation microphone and the side-mounted fingerprint sensor?
