it is a known fact, phones have become cheaper, and cheaper phones have become better. It would be impossible a couple of years ago to get a good experience on a smartphone at less than 22,000 naira. I got my first smartphone in 2012. It had a 2.8” screen with 240×320 resolution, 832 MHz processor, 512MB RAM, 4GB internal storage (which was basically around 2.8GB), 2MP fixed focus camera without flash, no front camera, ran Android 2.3 and had a 1200mAh battery. The price I picked it up for was 37,500 naira.
When Google announced the Android Go project a few months ago, I wondered what they were playing at. After consideration, I concluded, this project was meant to introduce the many people who still buy feature phones to smartphones. And to give them a smooth experience despite the devices having low end specs.
Imagine the experience you would have on a phone with 1GB RAM, 8GB storage, and a 1.3Ghz processor running the normal version of Android Oreo, like the OnePlus 6 which swipes through with 8GB RAM, 256GB storage and a processor that can power a Windows Laptop. It is an unfair comparison. The 1GB RAM phone will struggle. Things won’t work. Yet, before Android Go, this was the experience for millions of people who are buying such devices. So Google decided to fix this with the Android Go Project.
What Google has done with Android Oreo (Go Edition) is make it lighter so that devices with such specs (1GB RAM or less) can get a better feel. So when you launch an Android Go phone, you’ll get Google Go apps, and a better, much smoother experience than you would get if it ran the official Android Oreo. Enter the itel A32F device:

Not a single person I’ve shown the itel A32F has been able to correctly guess the price from just looking at the device. First person told me it was around 34,000 naira. Second person said 30,000 naira but I had told them the specs. The official price of the phone is 20,500 naira.

It is at pricing where itel really got it right for me. Why? Well, one, it is cheaper than the Nokia 1 which has the same specs, but a smaller screen and no fingerprint scanner. Two, it is cheaper than almost every other mentionable Android device while offering the latest version of Android (Android P isn’t as yet official). And three, it is almost getting into Feature phone pricing as we’ve seen feature phones costing as much as 17,000 naira with the revamped Nokia 3310. So, without even delving into how it performs, you’re already getting a good deal.

What stands out:
• Fingerprint Scanner
• Design
• Display
• Software
• Battery

Fingerprint Scanner:
The major selling point for this device, and what I am sure will woo many people into getting it is the fact that there’s a fingerprint scanner. Something that has fast become essential (haha iSheep). I thought it would be a mediocre fingerprint scanner. Oh I will struggle with it. Oh it wouldn’t be accurate. I was surprised and impressed.
One, the scanner is pretty fast and accurate. Two, you can assign different fingers different roles so when you touch the scanner, phone automatically opens and launches a particular set app. Three, for a small 5” phone, the placement is really good and your hand quickly reaches the scanner without much issues (yeah Nokia 6 couldn’t do that). So if you’re thinking of getting this phone and are wondering maybe the fingerprint scanner will be a disappointment. No it won’t.

How long can the battery last under heavy surfing of the internet?

does it's screen have ips pannel. i'm thinking of recommending it to someone

Camera! How good is it.

At the end of the day everything is not about amount.

People who cough up 100-300k for a phone aren't fools. There's something called "Quality Assured".

People who bought the iPhone 5s in 2013 are still comfortably using it as there is no aspect of that phone that is obsolete today.

Lemme see you use this same Itel this time next 6 months without complaints.
