Just used google lens to see what phones they slapped this badge on. Only took 2 seconds to see the Phonemax M1 and the phonemax P10 seems to be the cheaper siblings of the JCB branded ones. You can import these for half the price, probably also without any software support.

    safin asa, 22 Jun 2023ITS a processor name lol 🤣 Helio p22 was released in Q1 20... more4.15ghz on p22😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

      Anonymous, 23 Jun 2023I had a phone with helio p22 with android 10 and was laggin... morethe ge8320 on p35 was better but not too much. they are capable of mainstream games, works better in medium low setting. though it is just an souped up p22.

        just a smile, 23 Jun 2023Looks like a green Nokia 3310 back cover strapped onto a phone.More like the black one.

          Koishi Komeiji, 22 Jun 2023anyway, Helio P22 in 2023 bruhhhOn a $350 phone at that. Ruins the entire phone that had a chance to stand out with its compact size. Should've used at least a D700.

          Any phone costing more than $150 should never struggle to just run the OS, but here we have it with this phone.

            rizki1, 22 Jun 2023more like the earth's crust and sky.Thaks to fix my words, and maybe when next android update comes out, the vanilla version will be have android 14 go installed. Because how strungling the processor was when using a normal android.

              Chaos X 1982, 23 Jun 2023They should at least G95, and D1080 would be perfect. P22 i... moreor else, they should use g88. g95 is no longer manufactured.

                  They should at least G95, and D1080 would be perfect. P22 is really closed to useless.

                    Carol, 23 Jun 2023I wouldn't be surprised if it runs better on 13, 13 is... more13 is optimized only on upper midrange devices. a 2018 low end chipset could not handle such things, it would just be a door stop if they lag and freeze just for existing even with 6gb ram. i would use something usable like xcover 5 than this rugged doorstop. let alone the max version. they are good but still not worth the price either.

                      you have to suffer, 22 Jun 2023it would've been better with helio p60 for the regular... moreI wouldn't be surprised if it runs better on 13, 13 is way better optimised then 11.

                        some manufacturers kept using them. especially vivo with their y02, which is worse than y01.

                          you have to suffer, 22 Jun 2023thats only better in camera computing. but daily use was he... moreI had a phone with helio p22 with android 10 and was lagging in every single app, even subway surfers had frames drops
                          Don’t expect any type of gaming, the gpu powervr ge8320 is a trash that can barely run light games, in benchmarks the adreno 506 of sd450 is paired with the powervr ge8320 but game developers optimize more for adreno gpu so you can play some games

                          If running android 10 with almost stock android was lagging I don’t want to think how it will run android 13

                            I bet they rebrand these phones of Dogees

                              Anonymous, 22 Jun 2023these appear to be merely generic ODM phones slapped with J... moreYes, I'm sure they are.Cant imagine JCB making their own phones.

                                  Helio P22 woke up from grave. bruh! 😂

                                    Lemondroplets, 22 Jun 2023My apologies. Snapdragon 450 were just the best comparison ... morethats only better in camera computing. but daily use was hell nowadays. p22 performs good in android oreo. i somehow compared it to snap 625..

                                      Lemondroplets, 22 Jun 2023My apologies. Snapdragon 450 were just the best comparison ... moremaybe better but both of them are still equally awful. always recommend getting an older flagship than a new low tier phone.

                                        My apologies. Snapdragon 450 were just the best comparison I could latch onto as they pretty much sell whole lot back in late 2019 but I stand my point as Helio p22 were definitely better in camera computing! I used to have both phone that have this chipset and the p22 camera performance were definitely better. I wouldn't really notice on the screen resolution honestly as I use my phone full lengthed handed haha
