Performance in Use
The Optus X Smart is a straightforward everyday phone. The Snapdragon 210 quad-core processor with 1.5GB of RAM handles calls, SMS, a web browser, email and maps comfortably, and the 5.5-inch HD display makes text easy to read. It suits someone who wants a big, simple screen rather than the latest apps and games.
It works well as a spare or backup handset, a first phone, a work phone for calls and messages, or a dedicated device for a single task such as navigation or music. The microSD slot lets you add storage cheaply if photos and music start to fill the 16GB.
Because it runs Android 6.0, some current apps from the Google Play Store no longer support it, and it is not suited to heavy multitasking or gaming. Check that the specific apps you rely on support Android 6.0 before choosing this model.
