Is the ₦100,000+ PHILIPS Essence 10 good? See specs and prices in Nigeria, Kenya, Tanzania

PHILIPS Essence 10 is an even more affordable version of the new Essence 20. Like it’s sibling, it has a Unisoc T606 chipset, a 720p display, 5000mAh battery, and 18W fast charging. It is also a 4G LTE device, so it should work everywhere there is 4G, 3G, and 2G coverage.

The difference between Philip Essence 10 and Essence 20 is in the RAM and internal storage specs. The Essence 10 has 3GB RAM and 64GB storage. That’s it. Like kits more expensive sibling, conflicting information about its software say that it ships with Android 10, 11, 12, or 13. It certainly isn’t shipping with the latest version of Android.
