Telemach presented its own 5G phone

The phone, which will apparently simply be called the Telemach 5G (the box still has the UG Phone U23 label), will from September 15 available for 179 € . In the old-for-new promotion, it will be available for only one euro. The presentation of the phone is part of Telemach's wider strategy to bring the 5G network, the telecommunications standard of the future, closer to the wider public at an affordable price.

What are the specifications of the Telemach 5G phone?

They joined forces to produce the Telemach 5G phone to ZTE manufacturers, which also has the more famous Nubia Red Magic gaming phones under its wing.

It's in the foreground support for 5G network, which in the class of phones under 200 € is not self-evident. The Telemach 5G phone will also support it VoLTE service, the VoWiFi service, at least according to the CEO of Telemacho Adrian Ježina, is not in the plan at the moment. For now, it remains the only provider of calls via the Telekom Slovenije wireless network.

Inside the phone beats the heart of a low-end processor Unisoc T760. It is octa-core processor, four cores are faster ARM Cortex-A76, and the rest are more economical ARM Cortex-A55. It is available for more functionality 4 GB of system memory and the possibility of virtual expansion up to 4 GB. Basic storage is available for storing pictures and recordings 128 GB of space.

It is pre-installed Android 13, but at this moment it is not yet known how many years of support the Telemach 5G phone will receive. But it is known that it has 3-year warranty.

On the back side there is a ring with cameras, which at first glance resembles the design of Honor phones. The main camera has a resolution of #141 50 million pixels dots, and the secondary camera is 2 MP. There is another 5 MP selfie camera on the front.

One of the better features is 90-Hz refresh rate 6.53-inch LED screen (720p resolution). The first impression was encouraging. The processor is apparently powerful enough that we did not notice possible image tearing or stuttering at 90 Hz.

Battery capacity 5000 mAh will probably be able to withstand a solid day. The combination of poorer screen resolution and lower-end components means that the phone is not a big power user for everyday tasks. They are available two slots for SIM cards. Some Telemach applications are pre-installed: EON TV, subscription portal Telemach, EON Connect, N1info and Sportklub.

The Telemach 5G phone will also be tested in the editorial office in the next few days.

Action old for new, which promotes the concept of sustainability and reuse, will most likely be the best buy for potential buyers. The value of one euro is hard to exceed. At the full price, the phone still faces competition (Redmi, POCO, Galaxy A, vivo …), which it will have a hard time surpassing, at least with the first generation of phones. More more about this in the detailed test of the phone in the coming weeks.

Growth of market shares

Telemach has been around since 2015 the fastest growing mobile operator. It ranks first in the segment of broadband Internet (32.2 %) and VoIP telephony in Slovenia. Recently, United Group, which includes Telemach, sold telecommunications towers in Slovenia, Bulgaria and Croatia to Tawal from Saudi Arabia. Thus, Telemach joined a trend that has been present on the telecommunications market for several years, especially abroad. At the beginning of the year, A1 Slovenia also decided on a similar move.
