How much is it ?

How much is it ?

32k currently!

32k currently!

Wow... 32k?
And Itel S16Pro is 30k

Which would you prefer

Well, it all depends on what you are looking for in a smartphone. First S16 is 30k, not S16 pro. But still here are three important differences between S16 Pro and A3 core:
1. S16 pro does not have 4G network, A3 Core has.
2. S16 pro has 6.6-inches screen, A3 core has just 5.3, but both are using 720p panel. Now, when you spread 720p across these two sizes, the A3 core will produce crisper display with sharper text.
3. Software update: only few OEMs can beat Samsung on this end.

About price, I got mine @36k, then price got reduced few days later to 32k, which I still think it a great bargain!

Alright, as you wish.

In the link above, I tried to elaborate on the key differences between iTel S16 Pro and S16 Pro 4G LTE. But some people are not still getting it. There are three smartphones in the iTel S16-series(The standard S16, S16 Pro and S16 Pro 4G LTE)
These three device might have similar naming scheme, but there are not entirely the same. For example, vanilla S16 has just 6.5 inches display, while the S16 Pro and the S16 Pro LTE has 6.6-inches.

Secondly, S16 Pro and Pro 4G LTE has same design and looks, but with different internals. The S16 Pro has same CPU on the standard S16 which does not offer 4G network, but only the S16 Pro LTE has 4G network, and is probably powered by an octa-core UNISOC SC9863A CPU.

I could go on and on, but you can read more for yourself in the link provided above.

Thanks Elaborating
I think we all mean to say Itel S16Pro 4G LTE not S16Pro

Good, if you mean S16 Pro 4G LTE, then you should as well know that the device is not really in store currently. I'll be going to 3C and slot later today to check if this unit is now readily in stock so I can get one for review. But also know that the price of the S16 Pro 4G LTE will surely cross 40k when it finally arrive in store, which makes it unfair to compare with the A3 core!

Great exposé.

I was thinking about doing a similar thread but you beat me to it which is OK.

The itel S16 series all have distinct features (In price & specs) which prospective buyers should understand. The S16 is the least packed in the series as compared to the S16 Pro 4G LTE which is the elite of them all.

The itel S16 pro 4G LTE does it for me though as it's more in touch with the times we are in.
