In this Symphony Atom 2 full review, we will snipe into the smallest details of the phone. If you are looking for an entry-level phone under Tk 8000, hop on the ride!
Symphony Atom 2 Full Review with Price
Look and Feel
Atom 2 has a plastic-made body (164.7 by 75.85 by 8.4mm) that weighs around 190g. This device is slim and easy-to-manage. Its front-side is made of glass, which is quite among the competitor phones under this budget.
The other necessary ports, including the volume rocker, power button, SIM Card tray, microphone, 3.5mm port, audio jack, and a customizable Google assistant button are placed along the four sides of the phone. The bezel looks average.
The rear camera panel is placed on the top left side of its back panel. You will find the speaker grill near the bottom side of its rear panel. Furthermore, there is a fingerprint sensor on the back panel of Symphony Atom 2.
Users will get four different color variations to choose one from. They are Jolly Blue, Pine Green, Midnight Blue, and Mint Green. The rear cover has a textured panel featuring nice sunlight gradient design.
Display
A 6.52-inch display has been installed in Atom 2, which features an HD+ resolution of 1600 ×720 pixels. Apart from it, the brightness level has been kept 269nits for the phone. Though it’s not something impressive, users will get a standard display experience. You can easily operate the handset amid a dazzling environment setting the level of brightness level to the highest. The touch response and refresh rate feel okay while operating.
Cameras
There is a dual-camera panel on the back of the Symphony Atom 2. The panel rooms an 8 MP primary camera along with a 0.8MP assisting lens. All the essential features are included with both cameras. In proper lighting conditions, the quality of the snaps is as good as one can expect from a super budget-friendly phone.

The front-facing camera, which is also an 8MP lens, can capture a clear portrait in adequate sunlight. Regardless of some issues like washed-out pictures, over-exposing effects, or some extra noises, Atom-II’s pictures will still satisfy the users. Because the Symphony Atom 2 cameras still exceed the expectation level for such a low-priced phone.
Features like night mode, HDR, panorama, burst, time-lapse, AI scene recognition, display flash, and composition line are associated with the cameras.
You can capture videos at 1080p resolution and a maximum of 30 frames per second. Lack of stability mode can leave a shaky vibes in the captured video clips.
Performance
The Symphony Atom 2 is not a gaming device. Though the low specs Android games might run without showing any issues, the high specs games like Call of Duty, PUBG, or Asphalt are totally unplayable in this device. However, playing mid-level games like Free Fire could be a fair possibility.
No way to blame the phone or the manufactured company for the incapability of Atom 2 to run high-level games. Anyone can say it has tried its best to introduce power. An octa-core UNISOC SC9863A chipset with 1.6GHz clock power is the best one can get from a phone with such minimal price. To give it more power, an IMG GE8322 GUI has been installed. So, graphical decoding doesn’t fall to the standard level.
Atom 2 runs by Android 10’s GO Edition which is quite user-friendly. It has some bloat-wares, which can be uninstalled easily.
However, this phone is provided with 2GB RAM supported by 32 GB internal storage. This configuration seems might quite inadequate in today’s world. However, using an external memory card you can enhance the memory up to 128GB. Keep the storage free to get better functionality from this device.
Apart from these, app installation, multitasking, internet browsing, and other activities seem seamless. For sensors, the phone installs fingerprint, notification sensor light, face recognition, proximity, and accelerometer. It also has a GPS system.
Battery and Charging
A Li-po 4000mAh battery arrives with the Symphony Atom 2. As the phone doesn’t go well with high-resolution games, the battery is capable of supporting the phone for one to two days on average. With minimal use, users can even get more than one-day battery support. The battery is non-removable and provides 24-hour talk time coverage.
You will get a 7.5W charger with the phone. It takes about 2.5 hours to fully charge the battery.

Symphony Atom 2 Price in Bangladesh
Symphony Mobile has made only one variant of Atom II available in Bangladesh. The variant is of 2GB RAM coupled with 32GB default storage. You can grab this phone by spending only BDT 7,790.
The most vital selling point of Atom 2 is probably its highly affordable price. You can hardly find a mid-functioned Smartphone for much less than the price of this device. Symphony’s take on Android 10 is also laudable.
The Symphony Atom 2 lacks sufficient RAM, some connectivity features, and its built-in specifications create a mediocre experience. So, in terms of this phone, it would be best to live with the essentials.
The Symphony Atom2 cameras will do and get you some average-quality photographs. But if you want singing and dancing photographs, you should look for the camera-centric phones spending a little more money.
Overall, by its budget and offered features, the new Symphony Atom 2 can be good pick for the senior citizens or an additional phone for the youths.
