Pricing & Availability
Launch price (RRP) | $59 |
Launch date | 2017-09 |
The Optus X Play foregoes fancy features and cutting-edge power in favour of a simple, stripped-back design that delivers basic smartphone functionality at an attractive price point. This makes it well-suited to first-time phone users and those who only need a device for making and receiving calls and texts.
Design
- A basic but functional design that serves its purpose.
- No 4G connectivity means Internet speeds are on the slow side.

Camera
- 2MP camera is sufficient for very basic photography, though not much more.

Performance
- Low-power hardware should handle basic tasks, albeit at its own pace.
- 512MB of RAM does not lend itself well to smooth multi-tasking.
Battery
- Up to eight hours of talk time or up to 530 hours on standby, according to Optus.
