Editorial report

Philips S6310 Essence 20 technical sheet

The Philips S6310 Essence 20 suits people looking for a straightforward Android phone with Dual Nano-SIM and expandable storage. Its 6.56″ IPS LCD display has a 90 Hz refresh rate, but that rate and the screen-to-body ratio are both worse than those of most phones of its time.

It comes with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage, with room to expand. The Unisoc T606 is the processor, while performance and hardware stand worse than most phones launched around the same time. The camera’s 50 MP resolution is typical; overall, however, the camera is among the weakest of its time. It has no optical image stabilization or optical zoom. Its 5000 mAh battery has less capacity than most phones of its time, and 10 W charging is among the weakest; the battery overall is also among the weakest.

Connectivity includes Dual Nano-SIM, dual-band Wi-Fi, USB Type-C and a 3.5 mm audio jack. GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou and Galileo handle navigation. Android 14 and expandable storage are practical inclusions, but the camera and charging are notable compromises. Its overall NeoScore is 4.1: a fit for people who prioritize Dual Nano-SIM and storage expansion over a more capable camera or faster charging.
