10.or (Also pronounced as Tenor) is all set to launch its next smartphone in India on August 22. For the unaware, 10.or is an Amazon Exclusive brand which launches ‘Crafted for Amazon’ smartphones in the country. So far, the company has launched three Android-powered smartphones in India, and the next one in question is the 10.or D2. Amazon India has posted a teaser image of the smartphone, but it did not reveal which smartphone will be launched on August 22. Digging into the source code page, we got to know that the smartphone is indeed the successor to 10.or D, aptly named as 10.or D2. Also, Amazon India has confirmed that the upcoming device will sport an 18:9 display on the front.
10.or D2 Expected Features and Specifications
As mentioned above, the Amazon listing did not reveal the specifications of the upcoming smartphone. But being an upgrade to the most affordable Snapdragon 425 SoC smartphone 10.or D, the D2 is also expected to come with the same chipset because we haven’t seen any Snapdragon 427 SoC smartphones launching in the country.
The specifications of the device are also expected to remain the same, and the only change could be the 18:9 display on the front, which will be a departure from the 5.2-inch 16:9 display we saw on the 10.or D.
10.or D Specifications and Features
The 10.or D is an Amazon Exclusive smartphone launched at the end of 2017 in India. It’s a direct competitor to the Xiaomi Redmi 5A, and currently, it’s the cheapest handset with Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 chipset. The price of the 10.or D is Rs 4,999 for the 2GB RAM and 16GB storage option, while the 3GB RAM version with 32GB of internal storage is retailing for Rs 5,999. Very recently, 10.or also released Android 8.1 Oreo update to the smartphone, which came as a surprise for many.
The phone sports a 5.2-inch HD display with 16:9 aspect ratio. It has a 13MP camera on the rear and a 5MP shooter on the front. The phone is armed with a 3500mAh battery and also offers a dedicated microSD card slot for storage expansion up to 128GB.
At the moment, both the variants of the 10.or D are listed on Amazon as ‘Currently Unavailable,’ hinting at the arrival of 10.or D2.

If its unveiling at 22/Aug on Amazon India, I wonder who will launch Samsung Note 9 & Nokia X6 as they both too have near about the same date as the Tenor D2??
Even after being a good value for money, there were many complaints regarding the device defects and software bugs…
So, it couldn’t give much competition to Redmi 5A..
Also what will they do with SD427 now, they better release it with SD429 or MTK A22, both of which are based on 12nm Architecture…
