Telekom T Phone Pro smartphone review - Happily big

Like a Pro? Telekom have introduced their own range of T Phone smartphones - there is even a Pro model. The phones feature a quad camera, large display, NFC and an audio jack. On top of this, software updates are available for a long time. In this review, you can find out whether the T Phone Pro is a Pro model for everyone.

Telekom's T Phone Pro is the result of the mobile carrier and Google working together - at least as far as the software is concerned. Besides the Pro model, there is also a "normal" T Phone. The Pro model is only available with 128 GB of storage and 6 GB of RAM.

Case - The T Phone Pro is made of aluminum and plastic

The T Phone Pro is a large smartphone. Its 6.8-inch display is surrounded by expansive display edges. The back is made of plastic, the frame of aluminum. The phone's construction is stable and can barely be bent. Its display is protected by an unspecified type of glass. A magenta-colored power button and a volume rocker are located on the right side of the phone.

The device is only available in the color "dark shadow" - a dark, matte gray. Despite its matte color, quite a few fingerprint marks are left behind. Its camera unit barely protrudes from the device, and it doesn't wobble if you type while the phone is placed on the table. The included extra-long SIM eject tool is necessary to open the SIM card slot. The device is protected according to IP52.

Features - Pro model with wireless charging

The phone's processor is a Mediatek Dimensity 700 and it is supported by a Mali-G57 MP2 GPU. A few great features are that Telekom have decided to install a microSD reader as well as NFC, an audio jack, and wireless Qi charging. However, users sadly have to do without Wi-Fi6 or dual-SIM. However, the smartphone is 5G-capable.

microSD card reader

The T Phone Pro's memory can be expanded by inserting microSD cards. Cards with a capacity of up to 2 TB are supported. However, its transfer rates were mediocre in our test using an AV PRO microSD 128 GB V60 reference card. Although the T Phone Pro clearly beat the Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G, the Samsung A33 was able to transfer data three times as fast.

Software - Telekom have used Vanilla Android

The T Phone Pro runs Vanilla Android in its purest form - no bloatware is installed, which is great. Only the typical Google apps can be found. This means its system is nice and slim, and 117 GB are available for free use. 

In our test, the smartphone still ran Android 12, and the security patch was from the current month. Telekom promise four years of security updates. These are supposedly delivered monthly for the first three years, and quarterly in the fourth year.

There is still no native one-handed mode in Android 12, which is a shame considering it's such a large smartphone. However, the manufacturer has promised to deliver Android 13 "soon", which apparently will also introduce a one-handed mode.

Communication and GNSS - Stable transmission on the T Phone Pro

The T Phone Pro didn't show any abnormalities in the network measurements using our reference router, the Asus ROG Rapture GT-AXE11000. The connection was stable, and the transfer rates were average for its class.

Its satellite connection did not cause any problems in our test. It takes a bit of time to establish a connection from inside buildings, but it is stable and accurate.

The T Phone Pro's route navigation also worked well on a bike trip. In practice, the device didn't show any problems when navigating with Google Maps, for example. The T Phone Pro supports GPS, Glonass and Galileo, but only with one band (L1/L1/E1).

Phone functions and voice quality - More could be possible

Even though this is a Telekom smartphone, the device works smoothly with SIM cards from other providers. The voice quality is okay, however, the smartphone could filter out noise better. In addition, you can sometimes hear a slight echo from time to time when you are on a call using the phone.

The smartphone supports the most common frequency bands in Europe, and there were no reception problems in our test. VoLTE and WLAN calls are also supported.

Cameras - Only the main camera is any good on the T Phone Pro

Selfie using the T Phone Pro
Selfie using the T Phone Pro

Telekom advertise the T Phone Pro as having a quad-camera system. However, only the pictures from the 50-megapixel main camera were really usable - and even so, only if there was sufficient light. Compared to the small T Phone, the Pro has an additional ultra-wide-angle lens. However, it only has a resolution of 5 MPix, and pictures were correspondingly poor in detail.

A slightly different color balance could also be noticed in comparison with the small T Phone, and deviations on the test chart were larger.

The camera's pictures were barely usable in low light. Its software tried to brighten the pictures, but this mainly resulted in image noise. The 16 MPix front-facing camera is just as mediocre. It features a higher resolution than that of the T Phone, but was still not convincing. It lacked details, and the peripheral areas were also a little too brightened.

Videos can be recorded using the main camera with a maximum resolution of 2K, but then only at 30 fps. At 1080p, 60 fps is also possible. The front-facing camera records at a maximum of 1,080p and 30 fps.

Accessories and warranty - Telekom are thrifty

The T Phone Pro's scope of delivery is unspectacular. Telekom include a SIM card tool, a quick guide, and a USB cable (A to C) with the smartphone. A power adapter or a case has to be purchased separately. A screen protector is not installed.

Input devices & operation - No problem unlocking the T Phone Pro

The T Phone Pro's touchscreen was inconspicuous in our test and did not produce any errors. One-handed operation would come in handy due to the device's size, which will supposedly be introduced with Android 13. The T Phone Pro uses the GBoard keyboard ex-works.

The smartphone is unlocked via a fingerprint scanner located in the power button or via 2D facial recognition. Both unlocking methods work reliably - but the camera needs enough light to recognize your face. However, the smartphone also asks for the PIN or password several times a day.

Display - Nice and big, but unfortunately quite dim

Subpixel array

The 6.82-inch IPS display is a real highlight of the T Phone Pro - at least indoors. Its resolution is okay, and the panel also has a nice level of contrast. The display's biggest weakness is definitely its low maximum brightness. Except for the Honor X80, all of its competitors showed better brightness levels, at times significantly.

Furthermore, the display only supports a refresh rate of 60 Hz, whereas some competitors in this price range offer 90 or 120 Hz. On a positive note, we could not measure PWM.

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 17903 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

The T Phone Pro primarily owes its good contrast rates to a very low black value. Its DeltaE deviations were overall considerable, especially in the grayscale.

Display Response Times

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
       Response Time Black to White
41.75 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 19.63 ms rise
↘ 22.12 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 98 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (21.5 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
66.63 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 29.32 ms rise
↘ 37.31 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.2 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 98 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (33.7 ms).

The IPS panel's viewing angle stability is okay - at least indoors. Outdoors, readability is primarily impeded by the phone's low maximum brightness. The screen is hardly legible when viewed from the side.

 

Performance - The T Phone Pro is sufficient for everyday use

The T Phone Pro will likely not win any trophies for its performance. Yet, the Dimensity 700 is not badly handled by Deutsche Telekom; the SoC is simply not that fast. In the test field, the T Phone Pro lost out to devices with Snapdragon 695 in all benchmarks.

This performance is sufficient enough to play current games such as PUBG Mobile. However, you can only select HD resolution and stutters do sometimes occur. The phone's performance is currently sufficient for everyday tasks, but the "Pro" in the title certainly got our hopes up a little.

Emissions - The T Phone Pro stays cool

Temperature

The T Phone Pro is no performance beast, but it always managed to stay pleasantly cool. Even under full load, such as during benchmarks, its temperature didn't get higher than lukewarm.

Speakers

Telekom have installed a mono speaker on the bottom of the T Phone Pro. It sounds good enough with a linear output - especially in the mids and trebles. However, there is no bass to be heard.

Its volume control is also surprising. Sounds are only audible in normal surroundings when the volume bar is at about 50%. Nevertheless, the speaker can get loud when needed, but the volume adjustment levels only come in big steps - not much nuance here. 

It is great that Telekom chose to install an audio jack, and the output is low-noise (SNR 79.36). The T Phone Pro also supports common Bluetooth codecs: SBC, AAC, aptX, aptX HD and LDAC.

Battery life - Large battery and long runtimes in the T Phone Pro

Power consumption

The T Phone Pro's power consumption is well balanced, especially compared to other Dimensity 700 devices. Its low minimum consumption is especially good, which suggests it probably has great standby times. However, the rates could be lower in comparison with other processors and in view of its low maximum brightness.

Battery life - The T Phone Pro's long charging times

The T Phone Pro's battery life is good. The device lasted over 14 hours in our realistic Wi-Fi test. However, OnePlus' Nord CE 2 Lite 5G managed even longer runtimes with a 5,000 mAh battery.

In everyday use, the T Phone Pro can even run for two days without stopping to recharge if it is not put through its paces too much. Compared with the normal T Phone, Telekom also offers wireless charging for the Pro model. However, it takes a long time until the battery is fully charged again. The T Phone Pro is 64 per cent charged after one hour, and it takes more than two hours on a 24-watt power supply for a full charge.

Verdict - The T Phone lacks the Pro

Telekom T Phone Pro review. Test device provided by Telekom Germany.
Telekom T Phone Pro review. Test device provided by Telekom Germany.

Telekom have introduced their own line of smartphones: the T Phone and the T Phone Pro. While the normal T Phone scores with its low price, the Pro model has a harder time.

In the price range of the T Phone Pro, 5G reception is not a unique selling point - instead, it is pretty standard in the meantime. The main camera's pictures are usable when there is sufficient light, but they are by no means outstanding. The other lenses on the phone can be seen as decorative accessories. The display is large but quite dim and it only supports 60 Hz.

However, the biggest disappointment for a Pro model lies in its performance. Although there should be no problems in everyday use, but any more and the T Phone Pro will likely struggle. That is quite a shame, seeing as how Telekom have promised long updates for the device. 

The T Phone Pro is just as ambivalent when it comes to energy. Although the battery lasts for a long time, its charging times are unfortunately quite slow. 

The T Phone Pro isn't a bad device, but it is definitely missing some positive features.

At least the rest of its features are comprehensive with expandable storage, NFC and an audio jack. However, Samsung's Galaxy A33 offers more power, faster storage and similarly long updates. The OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite features even longer battery runtimes and a 120 Hz display.

Price and availability

The T Phone Pro is currently available to purchase in 10 European markets (Germany, Austria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Poland, Romania and Slovakia) for around $300. At the time of writing, the phone is not yet available to purchase in the US.
