PHILIPS Essence 20 enters the market with a Unisoc T606 chipset, a 720p display, 5000mAh battery, and 18W fast charging. It is a 4G LTE device, so it should work everywhere there is 4G, 3G, and 2G coverage.

It sits on the ladder above the more affordable Philips Essence 10 entry-level Android smartphone. We have seen conflicting information about the software, with different sources saying that it ships with Android 10, 11, 12, or 13. It certainly isn’t shipping with the latest version of Android.
