Display Comparison

Both phones likely feature small, basic LCD displays with low resolutions (likely below 720p). Expect limited brightness and color accuracy. The Ram 10 LTE *might* have a slightly larger screen, but this is unconfirmed.

Camera Comparison

Camera quality on both devices will be very basic. Expect low-resolution sensors and limited features. Image quality will be poor in low light. Don't expect high-quality photos from either phone.

Performance

The Unisoc T107 in the Ram 10 LTE is generally considered a slightly more capable chipset than the MT6276A in the Ram 8. Expect both to struggle with demanding apps and multitasking, but the Ram 10 LTE *may* offer marginally smoother performance. Both will be slow by modern standards.

Battery Life

Battery capacity is likely around 3000mAh for both devices. Battery life will be adequate for light usage, but heavy users will need to charge frequently. Expect around a day of moderate use.

Buying Guide

The Plum Ram 10 LTE is suitable for users needing basic calling, texting, and occasional app usage. The Plum Ram 8 is best for those on the tightest budget who prioritize affordability above all else and are comfortable with very limited functionality.
