Pros and Cons in Telenor Smart Pro:

Although Telenor Smart Pro is not of that standard that it could match Samsung, Huawei or iPhone, yet with this low price, the Smart Pro is a better choice for people wandering dual tastes with single shot i-e if they want to have longer warranty of 18 months and an internet package of 3GB for up to six months and an extra great amount of 600/- PKR for a period of six months.

Pros:
  • Telenor Smart Pro is an economical device with these features like a Quad core processor and 1GB RAM.
  • The chip set is of Spreadtrum with no such heating issue.
  • 3G bundle of 3GB and free balance of rupees 600.

Cons:
  • GPS is available but AGPS isn’t available and you may not be able to find the exact location where you are standing.
  • Battery capacity is very low and you will notice a sudden decrease in the level of battery after you run certain heavy apps, in short you will be a charge plugger every time. 🙂

Design and Display of Smart Pro:

Telenor Smart Pro has a compact shape and structure that can easily be adjusted in hand with ease and the edges are well polished and the back cover contains a well pattrened shape that looks eye-catching and attractive. The weight is a 111(triple one) which is very low as compared to other smartphones. Telenor Smart Pro won’t break with minor accidents as whole of the smartphone is guarded by the back cover. The dimensions are low and has a better screen to body ratio as shown in the specifications for Telenor Smart Pro Review.

The display is nice and the touch is smooth but the only thing that I examined while typing text message is that the alphabets in the small keyboard are placed so closed to each other that the user feels a little bit discomfort while typing because he/she may mismatch while typing. The display supports resolution up to 480 x 800 pixels with a refresh rate of 60 frames. The total size of the screen of Telenor Smart Pro is 4 inches and the display is of WVGA technology. The height is 800 pixels and the width is 480 pixels resolution. The density pixels per inch on x-axis are 225 and that on y-axis are 211 pixels. A chip set of Mali-400 MP is being used which is a manufacture of Spreadtrum SC7731.

The chip set for the 1.3 MHz Quad core processor is Spreadtrum and the model is SC7731. The frequency is clocked at 1300 MHz with 768 as its lowest and 1300 MHz as its highest frequency. There are total of four cores in the processor of Telenor Smart Pro and each core attains the speed of 1300 MHz individually or combine. The stability chart is not clearly mentioned as there is no sensor for measuring the degree of hotness while passing the Telenor Smart Pro under test. Still the stability chart below shows the curve moving between 36 and 43 which is though stable.
