The THL T6 Pro is a budget smartphone that packs eight Cortex A7 cores, making it suitable for multitasking tasks. The processor's energy efficiency is also noteworthy, with scores of 26.6/196 in the pros and 2u tests, which are surprising given its price point. However, it's essential to note that this device hasn't been designed to take one of the top spots, but it still manages impressive performance for its budget.

The T6 Pro's octacore processor is an excellent choice when doing lots of multitasking tasks. Nevertheless, you may see a lower performance on tasks with only a single thread, such as browsing the web or playing certain demos like Epic Citadel. In our test, we found that the phone manages 52.9 frames per second on the high-performance setting and 52.7 frames per second on the high-quality setting in the demo app for the Unreal 3D engine. These results are excellent considering that the processor uses the Marley 450 GPU.

The T6 Pro's processor is clocked at 1.4 GHz, which is a more reasonable speed than the customary 1.7 GHz often used with these octacore Med Tech chips. This might help improve battery life, as demonstrated in our test. The phone can handle about 3 hours of intensive 3D gaming, simpler 2D games will likely run for much longer, and YouTube videos will work for around 4 hours on a full charge while playing locally stored MP4 files.

The device also offers impressive talk time, with at least 20 hours of 3G calling. The 8-megapixel shooter is decent, but its performance is better outdoors than indoors due to the f/2.2 aperture. However, when it comes to indoor photography, the camera struggles with colors, which can be easily tweaked in any photo editor.

For selfies, the front camera might be a little weak at only 2 megapixels, but it can also be set to extrapolate up to 8 megapixels for better results. The rear camera can record at 1080p x 1080, while the front camera only records at 640 x 480. Overall, the camera is good but not exceptional.

The T6 Pro comes with a standard Android 4.4.2 operating system, which has been tweaked slightly by THL. The device features an extra battery setting that enables CPU power saving mode and a section in the settings to enable the multitasking window always-on-top menu, giving you access to miniature apps like a notepad and music player. Additionally, there's an app permission setting that allows you to control which apps have permission to make calls, send messages, get your location, and so on.

The device features Launcher 3, a stock Android Open Source project launcher, rather than the Google Now launcher. Although this build of Launcher 3 also has THL custom icons, one minor point is that all the icons have a square background, which means that if you install an app with a transparent background, it gets placed on one of these colored squares.

The T6 Pro comes with full Google Play support and all the normal Google apps are available for download from the Play Store. The 8 GB of flash is divided into 2 GB of internal storage and 4 GB of phone storage. While this is a limitation, especially with the 2 GB partition, which can limit the number of apps you can install, the device is expandable via a microSD card slot.

In conclusion, the THL T6 Pro is a budget smartphone that offers impressive performance for its price point. Although it has some weaknesses, such as battery life and display quality, these are forgivable given its affordable price tag. As Gary Sims from Android Authority, I can confidently recommend this device to those looking for an entry-level smartphone with impressive specs.

As you can see, the THL T6 Pro is definitely a budget-friendly option, but it's worth considering its strengths and weaknesses before making a purchase decision. While it may not be the best in terms of battery life or display quality, its performance, camera, and overall value make it an excellent choice for those on a tight budget.

In the end, the THL T6 Pro is a solid option for those looking for a budget smartphone with impressive specs. With its eight Cortex A7 cores, decent camera, and full Google Play support, this device is sure to provide hours of entertainment and productivity. Whether you're a casual user or a power user, the T6 Pro has something to offer.

For those who are interested in purchasing the THL T6 Pro, I would recommend checking out online retailers such as Amazon or Best Buy to get the best deals on this device. Additionally, be sure to read reviews from other customers and check the device's specifications to ensure that it meets your needs.

In conclusion, the THL T6 Pro is a budget smartphone that offers impressive performance for its price point. With its eight Cortex A7 cores, decent camera, and full Google Play support, this device is sure to provide hours of entertainment and productivity. Whether you're a casual user or a power user, the T6 Pro has something to offer.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwelcome everybody my name is Gary Sims from Android authority and today we're going to be looking at a new phone from THL over the last few months THL has released quite a interesting set of phones including the THL 5000 with its 5,000 Milah battery the THL 969 the company's first 4G phone and now they've released a budget phone the T6 Pro when I say budget I mean $117 92 now that's really quite cheap now what do you get for $117 well let's find out this dual SIM device comes with a 5-in 1280x 720 display a 1.4 GHz octacore processor from mediatech 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of onboard storage there's an 8 megapix rearing camera and a 2 megap front-facing camera and the battery is a 1,900 milliamp power unit it comes pre-installed with Android 4.4 Kit Kat and you have full access to the Google Play Store the T6 Pro is about the size you would expect for a device with a 5-in display it isn't the world's thinnest at 8.6 mm but neither is it that thick the bezels down the size of the display are good but not ultra thin compared to say Nexus 5 the T6 Pro is a few millimeters longer 2 mm wider and about the same thickness in other words to hit this price point the designers at THL have made the phone's Dimensions distinctly middle of the road which is perfectly acceptable I found the T6 Pro easy to handle and has a good grip and it actually feels quite light on the front is the 720P HD display with three capacity buttons on the bottom menu home and back towards the front top Edge is the speaker Grill and the front-facing camera looking around the sides the power button is on the right and the volume rocker is on the left the power button can be easily reached with your index finger when it is held in your left hand on the top is the micro USB port and the headphone jack on the bottom is a small thumbnail space to help Pride off the back cover it also acts as a gap in the outer shelf of the microphone for a little bit of decoration the phone has two metal bands running down each side of the phone on the back is a slightly protruding camera lens the LED flash the THL logo and the speaker Grill since the camera protrudes from the back then the phone is prone to rocking when placed on a flat surface this is most noticeable when trying to type the back cover is a matte plastic with a slight dimple effect overall the design is pleasing and the phone handles well the 1280x 720 pixel display on the T6 Pro is good considering the pricing of this phone however there are some negative aspects the viewing angles are okay but not excellent and overall the color reproduction can only be classified as Fair the display can't be called Vivid and when placed side by side to a device with a better display you can you can see that the whites are slightly gray and the primary colors lack punch also the display supports just two simultaneous touch points and not the more standard five however that really isn't a problem at all except for the most advanced Fruit Ninja players having said all that this is a budget device and having a 293 PPI display is a big plus overall with display adds to the user experience and although there are better 5-in displays out there you won't find one on a phone in this price bracket for a budget device the choice of processor in the T6 Pro is excellent the octacore mediatech Mt 6592 M runs at 1.4 GHz and gives the phone more than sufficient processing power for most tasks the processor packs eight cortex A7 cores and while the A7 cores aren't as fast as the A9 and a15 cores the A7 is certainly more energy efficient the T6 pros and 2u scores are surprising for this price point the device hasn't been designed to take one of the top spots however it still manages a score of 26,6 196 these octacore processors are very good when you're doing lots of multitasking however you'll likely see the lower performance of the cortex A7 core on tasks that only have a single thread for example when browsing the web for epic citadel the demo app for the unreal 3D engine the T 6 Pro manage 52.9 frames per second on the high performance setting and 52.7 frames per second on the high quality setting these are good results considering that the processor uses the Marley 450 GPU the Marley 450 is a good choice for Budget phones however it is starting to show its age THL decided to clock the processor in this device at 1.4 gahz rather than the customary 1.7 GHz that is often used with these octacore Med Tech chips that should help the battery life my epic citadel test showed that the phone will handle about 3 hours of intensive 3D gaming simpler 2D games will likely run for much longer YouTube will work for around 4 hours on a full charge while watching an mp4 file stored locally will work for around 4 and 1/2 hours I also did a simple 3G calling test and the phone has a talk time of at least 20 hours the 8 megapixel shooter on this phone is reasonable and certainly good enough for any snaps you want to take when you don't have a better camera with you it works best Outdoors but since it has an f2.2 aperture the indoor results are also okay the back camera can be set to automatically extrapolate up to 13 megapixels however it isn't the megapixel count or the aperture size that is the problem the biggest problem is with the colors for the most part the colors are bland having said that these of course can be easily tweaked in any photo editor after after the photos have been taken for those of you into selfies the front camera may be a little weak at only 2 megapixels however it can also be set to extrapolate up to 8 megapixels in terms of video the rear camera can record at 1092 * 1088 while the front camera only records at 640 by 480 overall the camera is good but not exceptional the camera app is fairly standard with features like HDR face recognition and burst mode if you don't like the built-in app of course you can always install Google's default camera app from the Play Store the T6 Pro comes with stock Android 4.4.2 with a few minor tweaks like an extra battery setting which enables CPU power saving mode there is also a section in the settings to enable the multitasking window a little always on top menu which gives you access to a few miniature apps including a notepad and a music player the security section also features an apps permission setting which when enabled allows you to control which apps have permission to make calls send ms messages get your location and so on once enabled the default permission is for each app to ask before using a restricted service built-in launcher is launcher three from the Android open source project and not the Google Now launcher you can install the Google Now launcher from the play store if you don't like the default one this build of launcher 3 also has some THL custom icons one minor point is that all the icons have a square background this means that if you install an app with a transparent background then it gets placed on one of these colored squares the device comes with full Google Play support and all the normal Google apps are available for those Google Apps not pre-installed a quick trip to the Play Store gets you everything you need it is worth mentioning that the 8 GB of flash is divided 2 GB of internal storage and 4 GB of phone storage the 2 GB partition can limit the number of apps you can install however the St is expandable and once you insert a memory card you can set the preferred install location to the SD card the THL brand isn't that well known outside of China inside of China it's actually quite popular the T6 Pro is definitely a budget device it has some weaknesses including the battery life and the display however for $117
