I make use of itelS13 n can say I don't suffer this same fate with others.

Maximum charge time to get a full 100% charge is 3hours.

Money well spent 4 me.

TsaTrinity:
Hahahaha
It's 1GB but I hear you can add to it. Don't know how true that is

Valkan:
Try itel p36 pro thank me later

Offpoint1:
Lol, took me 17hrs to fully charge p33, I love the battery life lasted almost a week on light usage.
I forgot the damn phone in taxi... It was already giving me network wahala the day I lost in taxi.

Kennyflyair:
Men do I have a story for you guys.
I bought an itel a56 very recently due to the fact say money low. To be fair, the phone is not bad for a light user and the 4000mah battery even lasts well. But when the thing don low, na that time I know say I don use my money buy problem. Na 6hours and above the phone dey take Charge before e full. I first think say na the phone get problem until I saw a few users complain on the itel page on facebook.
This thread has fully confirmed what I suspected.

They really need to improve on this. Na Nigeria wey gather dey o. Money scarce, even light sef scarce. Most people need phone that you'll plug for 1hour and see at least 50%

Me wey be say the phone wey I dey use before the itel get fast charging, that 6 hours charging come be like 4 years for my eyes. I sharply put am for nairaland and jiji. Bot the phone for 26k, after a month I put it up for sale. Come see pricing! Got an offer of 20k from one nairalander, instead make I sell I still dey do shakara. Last last na 17k I sell almost new itel a56. Lost 9k just for buying a worthless phone.

When I entered jiji to Post my ad, I saw many people wanting to sell their a56. The prices the put there were still close to new price. Because I wanted to sell desperately, I put it up for 19k then sold for 17k after begging the girl to even add 1k on top.

In fact, if you're in desperate need of Cheap phones, enter jiji and search for itel a56, you'll see many. Ignore their price and bargain with your own price. There is a high chance that the seller would agree cos most of them want to get it off their hands. Na mostly cos of that horribly slow charging most people dey sell.



I swear, this is probably my longest Post on nairaland but na because the thing dey pain me na y I dey type long story like this.

If you noticed, I never complained about the phone itself. I knew the specs of the devce I bought. 1gb ram, 16gb rom. I know how to work well with low ram phone. I still used a 512mb ram phone till early 2020.

If only itel can improve on their charging speeds, I think their brand would still be ok for people on low budgets.

I really doubt their charging is up to 5Watts sef. Maybe na 2 watt charging them dey use.

Op thank you for this thread, it confirmed my suspicion. That would be the first and last itel device I would buy in my life. I Don port go xiaomi. No be say then sef dey perfect but at least complaint dey minimal.

Namaste

Fact1:
Itel phone is good on it own,,,,yes I'm using itel p15 presently just because i don't know how to maintain phones i got it last week and the back case don crack self,,,it took just 5hours from 0 to 100%,,,be honest shey the phone didn't try nii?, ,,,and there's light everyday in my area so it doesn't reach 50% before recharging it,,,but you guys on nairaland enjoys bashing and saying bad things about phone,,me using itel doesn't mean I'm tech illiterate,,i will even tell you more about tech,,,,, funnily people go dey think say i poor nii,, see d way one girl dey look at me yesterday night,,she was like how can i be using itelp15,,,, you think say itel is for the poor and tech illiterate lol,,


And it cost me nothing to buy iPhone or Samsung,,,,,,but the main reason I'm using it is dat I can't use a phone for six months with out crashing it screen,, imagine repairing Samsung screen,,, nah almost 50%of d original price,,,, everybody have reason for using a particular phone and stop talking as if you can produce ordinary nokia 3310 battery,, because people making those phone are human being like you,,,,,,if i buy a higher phone i will always have transition phone with me (expecially itel),, because I love it,,,,,

[s]See you people comparing phones you're no dat wise ,,,,, because it just simple example of life we're living in,,let imagine comparing you with others in aspect of money ,,,facial appearance,,etc,,,you know say you will be no where to be found with over 7billon people worldwide,,,
[/s]
This life their will always be the first and last ,,even if the spec for all phones are equal there will still be a phone that will be rating number one,,,i know itel is not the best but they tried na and funnily me and you know say transition still sell at mad rate and nothing can stop dat very soon,,,,you said transition don't see update,,my former phone note 5stylus got update from Android 8.1 to 10 so what's your point? Without lagging,,,and people are crying up and down for just one update from one phone here,,, even iPhone self get problem but you guys won't go there just because of hypocrisy in you,,,, even the itel I'm using self showed update and I'm about to update it,,,,,,,,,


I'm not a marketer check my previous posts ,,,,,the only issue with itel is charging slowly their phone always last,,last month my itel 1556 was given to my brother i just did the normal screen repairing since 2016 i got it,,, while most of this higher phone can't last more dan 2 years without repairing it's hardware,,,,,,,,itel phones last longer ,,,,,


If someone get to nairaland for the first time and have no knowledge about phone and he or she landed in phone section he or she will never buy transition phones just because of your toxicity as if your current phone is perfect,,,,,,,,,,

Only those that research on phones knows umidigi,,,, redmi ,,,oppo,,Lg ,,sony ,,volvo,,,,,you and i know say d only phones most of the people know are iPhones,, Samsung,,,tecno ,,itel and infinix in Nigeria,,,,


[s]You said transition are calculator,,,,why can't you gather your family members and let us see if you will be able to produce calculator botton or battery,,,the issue is most of you guys have placed your life problem on phones that's why you always do deadly comparism,,,,do you think celebrity buys iPhone for using it for what it meant for? ,,,,, millions of olamide's fans will buy that itel ,but to you guys you will say they are fools or tech illetrate or you wanna tell me say dem no no the spec,, but we call it love,,,,,,,
[/s]
Last example is the music industry we know those that we think they should be leading but they are below both financially and internationally ,,,, which means no matter how you bash transition phones me and those dat will by it will still buy it ,just for the love we have for it,,,

I will get higher quality phone as soon as I'm perfect in maintaining phone but dat won't stop me from having transition phones expecially itel because i love it,,,,,,,

Every phones get problem,,,,

The summary of this epistles ,,

1,,, stop toxic comparison,,,,,we know transition are not the best,,,,

2,,,no one can overtake the power of the mass,,,,,,

Love and light,,,,,,

TsaTrinity:
Is it just me or this is everyone's case? We all use iTel P33 and P33 + in my family. Nobody has one day complained of slow charging. Infact my mum's phone chargers way faster than ours. I guess iTel selects charger. That's my observation

miracood:
I use an Itel phone and ur assertion is right.

It takes 4 hours to fully charge my A32f and the battery does not even last. But I'm managing lol
Till God provides new one

The more reason we need to create awareness. It's frustrating. You can cook a bag of beans before it full

Venoms001:

Ayomideen:
Lol mehn
I've only used one itel phone and its that 1516plus mentioned up there
Good, long-lasting battery but takes forever to charge
It charges 10% an hour
So your best bet is charging overnight

But if your charger is bad, forgerrit, one day In 2018, the phone was dead, immediately nepa restored power supply, I charged it and left to watch WC final, after over 2 hours, came back to the hostel and met this phone still on 0%


Omo, the phone suffer me small sha

Not defending it bro. When money comes we buy a better one. Till then, we move with what we have mehn.

Praying without hard work won't buy me the phone. God go bless us still.

Truthlord12:
Please don't bring iPhone into your lame discussions.

[s]Techno is a good phone far better than oppo[/s], Nigerians are wise, you can't expect them to buy a phone without replacement parts. Allow people to buy whatever they like it's their money and not yours.

Some of us use iPhone because it's the best brand in the world. As old as iPhone-6 it still has a good resale value in the market, how many android phones that was made with iPhone 6 Same year still has same market value? Please list them.

iPhone is a phone with distinctive class and with a good resale value even after many years.
