Being a budget smartphone it packs basic hardware, software combination though the only phone available with 3GB RAM at this price point will make it create a buzz for itself among buyers.

Performance

We used the Kult 10 smartphone review unit for almost a fortnight and being a affordable smartphone it worled fine , however camera department did not impressed us much. The HD IPS display with 450 nits of brightness displayed good colors be it playing games to watching videos to web surfing.

The 1.3 GHz processor coupled with 3GB of RAM did the fine job of multitasking, switching from one app to another and coming back without any performance lags. We also played some high end games like Asphalt 8 and it performed well without any heating issues.

The 13MP rear camera works good under daylight conditions and pictures came out with good colors and details. However in low light it lacks majorly and was not able to capture details.  Some other camera features includes HDR, Panaroma, Face beauty for better selfies.  Also the images looked fine when viewing over the phone but if you view in on a Full HD screen like desktop PC or a laptop they will look pixelated.

The 10 (Ten) by Kult comes with 2350 mAh removable battery and  can be charged from dead to 80% in almost 1 hour 30 minutes which is pretty much average given the size. In our video loop test it lasted for 3 hours 40 minutes. The smartphone is packed with smart swap keys, ambient lighting and a tangle-free flat wire data cable.

Kult has also partnered with Telecare, which has a reach of over 500 service centers across India, for providing after sales services.
