Why the Allview P10 Style Is Underrated — And Why It Offers Real Value

What the Allview P10 Style Brings to the Table

• The Allview P10 Style runs Android 8.1 Go Edition, which is designed for phones with modest RAM and storage. This helps the phone stay responsive even though it has only 1 GB RAM and 8 GB internal storage. (Allview)
• It features a 5.34-inch IPS / LCD display with an 18:9 aspect ratio, 480×960 resolution. That may not be sharp by today’s standards, but for lightweight daily tasks—messaging, social media, video—it does enough without draining the battery too fast. (Allview)
• The phone comes with dual 8 MP cameras—one rear, one front—with video capture of 1080p@30fps on the rear. This is decent for casual photography, video calling, and social sharing. (Reddit)
• It supports 4G LTE, dual SIM, FM radio, micro-SD expansion (up to 256 GB in many cases using the hybrid slot), and includes a rear fingerprint sensor. For essentials, it covers a lot. (Reddit)
• Battery is 2300 mAh, which is modest but for its hardware specs (light CPU, low-res screen, Go OS) it tends to give acceptable standby and daily usage amounts without needing constant charging. (Reddit)

Where It Falls Short (Why It’s Underrated)

• The resolution is low (480×960), which leads to less sharp images and text compared to Full HD or higher displays. Users accustomed to crisp screens may notice this. (Reddit)
• With only 1 GB RAM, multitasking or running heavier apps will lead to lag. It’s not ideal for gaming or power users. (Reddit)
• Storage is small; system and preinstalled apps take some chunk of the 8 GB, limiting how many apps/media one can store. The hybrid slot also means if one uses two SIMs, micro-SD capacity may be compromised. (Allview)
• Software is old; Android Go 8.1 is already dated, and future updates / security patches may be limited or non-existent. (GSMArena)

Why It’s Underrated But A Good Value

• For someone who mostly uses apps like WhatsApp, social media (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok lite), occasional video streaming, calls and messaging, this phone gives all those with fewer compromises. Because the hardware demands are modest, the phone tends to overdeliver relative to cost.
• The Go Edition of Android plus the low-res screen helps battery life. Even though 2300 mAh is modest, in use it often lasts longer than you might expect because the phone isn’t pushing high frames or large display resolutions.
• The dual 8 MP camera setup is better than many low-end phones that cut corners on selfie or front cameras. For light photography and video calls, it is better than phones that focus only on rear cam specs.
• Its price point makes it affordable; buying something that has all essentials with few frills is often better value than paying extra for features you rarely use.

Current Price in Kenya & Where to Buy

• According to MobileWithDrivers, the price in Kenya for the Allview P10 Style (8 GB / 1 GB RAM) is about KES 10,206.72. (Mobile with Drivers)
• Another listing on MobileWithPrices peg it at KES 10,480. (Mobile with Prices)
• Stores noted: MobileWithDrivers lists stock in Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu. (Mobile with Drivers)
• It is also listed on MobCost in some regions; though in those listings availability is limited. (موبي كوست)

Conclusion

The Allview P10 Style is underrated because many tech reviewers and buyers focus on high specs, big RAM, high resolution, and flashy features. But for users who want a reliable phone for everyday tasks without blowing their budget, this device offers a lot:

• It ticks all the essential boxes (calls, social media, dual SIM, decent cameras, LTE connectivity).
• It uses Android Go which is lighter and more forgiving on low resources.
• Priced around KES 10,200-10,500, especially with local stock in Nairobi, Mombasa or Kisumu, it delivers value that many phones in that price range don’t.

If your usage is moderate and expectations are realistic, the P10 Style can be a smart buy.
