ManiCellCity, 03 May 2024Same Phone T3xNot quite. Very similar to the C65 5G though, just with SD4 Gen 2 instead of D6300.

    Really goid

      For anyone who asks why they downgrade the screen to HD+ (while it's already FHD+ on Y36 5G) — they may try not to raise the price. With that chipset downgrade, gonna need to downgrade something I guess. Just my theory btw.

        I actually like that they went 720p better battery life and gaming performance

          This phone really should've had a 1080p display, otherwise it's a great phone for what I presume is a $150 price. 256GB of UFS 2.2 storage; 8GB of RAM; a Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 2; a 120Hz refresh rate; an IP64 rating; a 6000mAh battery; 44W fast charging; and somewhat thin bezels — these are all really nice stuff that you don't see every day at this price point. The only other thing missing is OLED, which Samsung have switched to this year with their A15, but that's still an outlier in this part of the market so it's perfectly acceptable. The cameras are meh, but they're not much worse than the competition, with the exception of Samsung's 13MP selfie camera in their A15 and even the A05s, though the two have a very similar price point. Even so, that 8MP selfie is okay instead of being borderline unusable like certain other budget phones (I'm looking at you, Honor, with your 5MP selfie cameras).

            downgraded display from Y36. quite disappointing but i hope they are cheaper than oddo a60.
            the fair price would be $165.

              Same Phone T3x

                Perfect phone for my mom. Who browse facebook all day and forgets to charge her phone.

                  UFS, IP64, actually not that bad depending on the price. Glad to see IP rating trickling down.

                    This phone has a slower GPU and half the display resolution of my 2017 Samsung S8+.
                    I hope it's got an amazing battery life, at least!

                      Anonymous, 02 May 2024I don’t understand why it is 720p when the predecessor is 1... morebro this is literally bs sold only to overwhelm low end markets. just check if they are selling the a phone in china too and if they arent you can be sure its bad.

                        I wonder how much will the 720p screen save battery over the 1080p screen.
                        SD 4 Gen 2 is good enough to run FHD+
                        Deem even SD625 had no issues with FHD+ screen.
                        I understand if they use something like Helio G35 and android GO so they need lower resolution screen but in this case with 4 gen 2 it makes no sense

                          I don’t understand why it is 720p when the predecessor is 1080p. Why do Chinese manufacturers always have to upgrade two specs but then also downgrade one, instead of just doing straight upgrades like Apple/Google/Samsung/Sony do (mostly)

                            Another week...Another BBK Phone.
                            It seems BBK in on mission to launch atleast 1phone/week.

                            Judging by how things are going they're surely gonna get a "Guinness World Record" for highest phone launches in a year as well as in history...maybe BBK will even launch a "World Record Edition" to celebration that moment😂😂
