Handset Facts

The local Smartphone manufacturer Symphony has launched its latest budget friendly handset Symphony P8 Pro. It’s a Android Nougat v7.0 mobile phone featuring Quad-Core 1.3 GHz CPU, 2 GB RAM, 16 GB ROM, large 5.5 inches IPS display, and 16 MP rear and 8 MP front camera. In addition, it has some special features such as, smart actions, smart gestures, LED notifications, OTG and OTA support. Now let us move to our review about Symphony P8 Pro with a critical inquiry into its pros and cons:

Symphony P8 Pro

Pros & Cons

As for pros we have the following practical experiences:

Firstly, it’s an Android Nougat v7.0 device. The handset is fairly fast enough to work with average operations.

Secondly, the price range is moderately acceptable considering its specs.

Thirdly, the 13 MP primary camera quality is also satisfactory within this price range. The 8 MP front camera is also good for taking selfies. Moreover, the one touch selfie button is very handy. With this button you can open your camera app, switch between the rear and front cameras, and take photos. Amongst many other features the cameras have Portrait Mode, which can blur the off focus parts of the image. There is also Professional Mode, which can enable you to emulate DSLR Camera effects.

Fourthly, the OTG facility provides nice support for mouse, keyboard, pen drive, joystick, etc.

Fifthly, the LED notification is also very useful for being notified for any incoming messages, emails, schedules, alarms, etc. Moreover, it will let you know whether the phone is charging or not.

Sixthly, the battery backup is good.

Seventhly, the phone doesn't overheat even after long term operation. This stability is also applicable for Wi-Fi use. However, the phone overheats when mobile data is used.

Eighthly, the app protection system is very useful. With this feature you can protect any app to restrict unauthorized usage.

Ninthly, although made of mostly plastic, this handset has almost a premium metallic look.

Lastly, with dual front speakers the phone is able provide loud and clear sound output. In addition, the earpiece volume is also satisfactory.

Speaking of cons we would like to encapsulate our observations as under:

Firstly, the phone might lag while running high definition games owing to inadequate RAM and low standard GPU.

Secondly, the rear camera performance is moderately good since the picture sometimes get blurred. Moreover, the picture quality is mediocre in low light since lots of grains are visible in picture output.

Thirdly, the smart actions are not that responsive, they often fail to execute the user's command.

Fourthly, the screen is oversensitive since it often freely taps into things with a slight friction. The screen has uneven surface towards the upper portion, which is certainly a manufacturing fault. So it is virtually impossible to attach a glass protector without leaving a bubble. Furthermore, the screen doesn't have any protection like Gorilla Glass.

Fifthly, the proximity sensor often fails to turn on the display when the phone is moved from the ear.

Sixthly, the phone can't be put to vibration mode without using third party app.

Seventhly, the phone doesn't have 4G support, which is not acceptable in modern age. However, instead of LTE support Symphony P8 Pro has HSPA+, which employs many of the techniques utilized for LTE. Thus the phone could be able to provide speeds comparable to the newer LTE networks.

Eighthly, the P8 Pro display is made of curved glass but it provides little benefit to the user since an inner bezel is visible when the display is turned on.

Lastly, although the 2800 mAh battery life is good, it may prove insufficient during long-term operation due to the phone’s large display.

Dhaka is probably one the most densely populated cities on Earth. When it comes to transportation this city proves to be absolutely devastating. For ordinary people the most common choice for vehicles are rickshaws, CNG auto rickshaws, and city buses. The latter is the most preferred vehicle since it’s cheaper and suitable for reaching long distance destinations. But buses could sweat you up badly if you don’t know their proper routes. And we are certain that most of the buses will confuse you with wrong or incomplete information inscribed on their body. You can have a try in the internet but again you will be disappointed by getting plenty of wrong and outdated information. Moreover, the online sources do not even provide information regarding the new bus companies. Well, to facilitate your choice of bus for the right destination we take this opportunity to share a list of major city bus services in Dhaka City along with accurate route information. We believe that our list is more trustworthy and it includes routes for many new bus companies. Give it a try and also leave your valuable feedback for future improvement, expansion, and rectification. Hope our effort helps you every moment. Thanks in advance for reading!
