- Analysis by KJ David
The Ulefone S10 Pro is an unlocked budget-tier smartphone that does not have that many pros under its belt. In fact, it suffers from some old-fashioned cons, such as a quad-core 1.3GHz MediaTek MT6739WA processor that obviously flounders in comparison to the eight-core engines powering some of its low-budget rivals as well as a measly 2GB RAM count .
Adding to its setbacks are specs like a mundane 5-megapixel front camera that at least mimics an actual 8-megapixel cam through interpolation -- aka camera enhancements through software. It also does not go beyond 16GB of native memory, although it supports a tolerable 128GB's worth of external memory.
As for the positive side of its mix of pros and cons, the S10 Pro features a robust (at least within its price group) 3350mAh battery promising roughly 12 hours of standby time and a 9-hour continuous talk time.

This S-series edition also features a wide 5.7-inch 19:9 screen that mimics those of the leading phablets and large-screen smartphones as of this technical review. That being said, it settles for a 1498 x 720 HD+ definition only , instead of going for something like FHD+ (1080p).
The S10 Pro's offering also includes a double-lens primary camera consisting of a 13-megapixel main lens interpolated to 16 megapixels and a 5-megapixel sub-lens that's largely for depth-of-field analysis. Also joining the mix is the familiar duo of a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner and Face ID for phone and data security.
With the Android 8.1 Oreo operating system and dual SIM card slots (micro + nano SIM) topping off its pros and cons, the S10 Pro seems like a viable choice for budget Android shoppers who want a dual-lens-equipped, stamina-focused Android phone.

We're dealing with a hefty display here, making it a phablet: 5.7 inches and a resolution of 1498 x 720 pixels means about 12.7 square inches and an image quality of at least 291.44 dots per inch (DPI)!
Above-average camera resolution - of 13-megapixel (interpolated to 16-megapixel combined with a 5-megapixel sub-cam)
Ulefone says that the Ulefone S10 Pro provides 540 minutes of talk time. If it lives up to that claim, it may be convenient.
The selfie camera resolution seems just about average.
