About Telstra Essential Smart

The Telstra Essential Smart is a compact handset designed for everyday use, featuring a modest 4.02‑inch IPS TFT LCD screen that delivers a resolution of 480 by 800 pixels. Its lightweight build measures just 65 mm wide, 126 mm tall and 11.65 mm thick, tipping the scales at 125 grams, making it easy to slip into a pocket or small bag. Powered by Android 8.1 Oreo in the Go edition, the device is tuned to run efficiently on its 1 gigabyte of RAM, offering a streamlined experience for basic apps and services.

Inside, a 1600 mAh battery provides the energy needed for typical daily tasks, while the phone supports a single SIM card for connectivity. The combination of a modest display, modest memory and a modest battery positions this model as an entry‑level option aimed at users who prioritise simplicity and affordability over high‑end specifications.
