Benco S1 - 8GB RAM + 128 GB ROM | Display 6.8" | Battery 5000mAh | Triple Camera (48MP primary + 2MP macro + AI Camera)

Design and Display

Benco S1 features a slim body measuring 8.5mm with rounded corners. The back has a matte finish that gives a premium feel to the mobile phone. Furthermore, it arrives in two color variants, i.e. Emerald Green and Gemstone Black—both of which feature a big glossy camera island.
The modern design continues on the front too. Here, you get a 6.8-inch LCD screen with a punch-hole cutout. Benco claims a 91% screen-to-body ratio thanks to slim bezels and the 20.5:9 aspect ratio. I must say, except for HD+ resolution, the display sounds pretty impressive for an entry-level smartphone.

Performance and Memory

Over on the performance front, Benco brings Unisoc T606 built on a 12nm processor. It is an octa-core processor with two Cortex-A75 “Performance” (@1.6GHz) and six Cortex-A55 (@1.6GHz) “Efficiency cores. And for the graphics, it comes with ARM Mali-G57 MP1 GPU.

Moreover, the device provides you with 4 GB of physical RAM and 3GB of virtual RAM on top. The S1 can store up to 128 GB of whatever you want to add, and that threshold can be extended via a micro SD card. Benco has used UFS 2.2 storage which performs considerably faster than eMMC, usually found in budget devices.

Camera

Another highlight of the Benco S1 is the camera. It uses a 48MP image sensor for the primary rear camera. The sensor uses 4-in-1 pixel binning to churn out 12MP native photos. You can choose between four major shooting modes: AI Pro, Portrait, Capture, and Ultra Clear. One is for macro shots that you can use from within a 3cm distance of the subject. The other is an “AI” camera whose purpose is unclear. Also, this phone introduces a 16 MP selfie camera with AI portrait mode at the front.

Rest of specs

For the remaining, the brand-new Benco S1 packs a 5000mAh battery with support for 18W fast charging. The connectivity options for the phone include WiFi, Bluetooth, dual 4G SIM slots, and much more.
