    Geric.770, 11 Jun 2018I was gonna edit that Mediatek chipsets are good on battery... moreMediaTek and battery efficiency.. Hm

    :)

    Qualcomm low end (450) and older mid (SD625), or newer mid (SD636).. Or newest higher mid range processor (SD710) - made on 10nm is still the best when it comes battery efficiency..

    For Exynos and mid don't know.. For Kirin and 659 (16nm) not really, but i guese, Qualcomm is still the best, i mean implementation and optimisation od OEMs paired with some of thise Snapdragons processors.

    MediaTek is not that bad (like in the past years) but, simplle Qualcomm (and Exynos, some processors) have the best efficiency.

      Smart N9 has only 16gb of built-in storage and can only take 32gb SD cards? Just get a Redmi 5 instead

        Can get much better phones now direct from China for not much more money.

          Both are free with a monthly plan starting from £32/month.

          How is that for free ? It should be 3-4 months and your done with that montly plan

              I like how everyone here is just complaining about the specs. You "nerds" aren't their target audience anyway. For the average user who just wants FB, Whatsapp etc. these phones are more than enough.

                Kiyasuriin, 11 Jun 2018If it's a powerful Quad core, why not? The SD820 is QuadCor... moreI was gonna edit that Mediatek chipsets are good on battery efficiency but questionable performance.

                  Geric.770, 11 Jun 2018Quad core in 2018!?If it's a powerful Quad core, why not? The SD820 is QuadCore big.LITTLE

                    Quad core in 2018!?

                      The size is sweet'n'all. But I think I'll pass.
