Xiaomi1:
you are advertising a plastic without 4G, micro USB in 2021. Are you OK?

Mr Troll, P37 is for Nigerians to enjoy quality and durable smartphone at affordable. If the need is 4G or micro USB, the Nigerian only need to top his/her budget a little to get the itel P37 Pro, a perfect and lovely device for everyone irrespective of class or status.

itel is responsible enough to produce device to meet the needs of everyone.

Xiaomi1:
you don't need to advitize quality products. Quality speaks for itself.

Coming from someone trolling on itel threads

Xiaomi1:
Xiaomi. Just redmi 7a beats the hell out of thix crap..

if your redmi 7a (or whatever) is so good, you would be promoting it to Nigerians that are looking for quality and affordable phones to buy; just like I've always done as a diehard of itel. You won't be spending your time as a troll on itel's threads

Which product can beat itel P37 in terms of budget and spec?

itel mobile has made great progress in their drive for the production of good, quality and durable mobile phones at budget prices.

Since coming into Nigeria's mobile phone market, they have consistently produced good mobile devices that the ordinary man and woman can afford without need to break bank.

The itel P37 phone that was launched only last month (May 2021), has mouthwatering features and specifications that meet the needs of the ever growing mobile phones and tech lovers in the country(as listed below):

o 6.5” HD+ Waterdrop FullScreen Display
o 2GB RAM, 32GB ROM + AI Gallery
o 5000mAh Battery + Upgraded AI Power Master
o Android ™10（Go edition)
o SC7731E Quad-Core 1.3GHz
o 8MP+VGA AF Rear Camera + 5MP FF Camera
o Face Unlock + Fingerprint Sensor

Interestingly, while other brands with phones that have similar features and specifications fixed the cost of their devices at relatively unaffordable rates, itel mobile's P37 can be bought at the rates of N35,000 to N37,000; depending on merchants or store. These prices are indeed slightly above minimum wage.

Considering the aforesaid, I am convinced, like other sane and unbiased Nigerians, that itel P37 is the most affordable phone in its category. I pray the firm continue the trend of quality, durability and affordability.

TonyeBarcanista:
Interesting, I think I will give it a shot... Kindly update when you know the price. But what's the main difference between this and p36 pro?

It's best you check stores. Except you want to gift me

Xiaomi1:
3gig ram. Micro USB in 2021.: UNISOC SC9863A CPU /. As a marketer, how do you market this 1989 device?

As an hater, how do you hate on a standard modern device that is of quality, certified by various Standard Organisations, and made affordable to Nigerians? Has anyone told you that such feature is substandard?

sunshineV:
but who go dey hate on phone wey dey hang?

the phone only hangs in your imagination

Cost of itel P37 pro
I've been trying to check online stores to know the cost of this gadget but unsuccessful. I'll love to get my hands on this P37 pro

But, the standard iTel P37, a very beautiful device, goes for around 39,000

Nigerian Social Enterprise Selected For The 2021 Duke Unicef Innovation Accelerator Program

A Nigerian social enterprise working on Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) have been recognized as one of the best 7 social enterprises tackling sanitation challenges in Africa

Building on UNICEF’s legacy of innovating for children and Duke’s track record of success in entrepreneurial education, the Accelerator supports social enterprises tackling the most pressing challenges facing children and youth around the world.

The Accelerator’s second cohort of innovators come from diverse academic professional and geographic backgrounds. Through the two-year program, the entrepreneurs will have access to a multitude of resources, including UNICEF subject matter experts, mentorship opportunities, Duke University faculty and students, monthly capacity building webinars, and a one-time grant to support scale.

The Accelerator’s second cohort consists of four non-profit organizations and three for-profit companies operating in Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Nigeria, South Africa, and Sierra Leone. The innovators’ solutions—which range from distribution models, to recycling programs, to hygiene products—all relate to Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH)

Selected with the mission of supporting gender equity and representing inclusive, diverse solutions, four of the cohort members are female entrepreneurs and three are male. Additionally, five of the cohort members are from Africa,including Ethiopia,Tanzania, Kenya, Nigeria, Uganda; one is from the United States and one is from India.

The Nigerian Social enterprise, Toiletpride Initiative which is helping improve access to quality and affordable toilets through strengthening of the sanitation product supply chain and local education campaigns to urban and peri-urban schools and impoverished people, is the first social enterprise from West Africa to participate in the DUIA Cohort Program

For more than 4 years now, Toiletpride has been active working with organizations and individuals to provide innovative solutions for strengthening Water, Sanitation and Hygiene in Schools and communities across Nigeria. In 2020, Toiletpride launched the Accelerating Access to Rural Sanitation in Nigeria (AATRISAN) project, designed to reduce open defecation and improve access to sanitation and safe hygiene Practices in Nigeria through market-based approaches

“We are very pleased to be part of the DUIA cohort as It is an exciting platform to take our idea to scale and translate it into improving more lives in Nigeria. The Duke UNICEF Innovation Accelerator program will also afford me and the team, a new opportunity to move 30,000 new households from basic to improved sanitation facilities and contribute significantly to reducing open defecation in Nigeria ” Says Chukwuma Nnanna, Founder and Executive Director Toiletpride

You know of itel P36, don’t you? But have you heard of itel P37, itel’s latest big battery smartphone? The tagline of the phone, ‘Play With Power’ got me. So, I kept thinking… does this smartphone really live up to its tagline? Its promises of endless fun and play for someone young, vibrant, and on the go like you and me? Well, this article is a review of the device and my unfiltered opinion of it.

Without further ado, let’s unbox the itel P37 together!

Device Specifications
o 6.5” HD+ Waterdrop FullScreen Display
o 2GB RAM, 32GB ROM + AI Gallery
o 5000mAh Battery + Upgraded AI Power Master
o Android ™10（Go edition)
o SC7731E Quad-Core 1.3GHz
o 8MP+VGA AF Rear Camera + 5MP FF Camera
o Face Unlock + Fingerprint Sensor

What’s In The Box?
The itel P37 comes in a red, compact box with Olamide’s, itel’s brand ambassador, image on it and his signature. The box looks very appealing and quite premium from all angles.
Unsealing and opening the box shows the itel P37 with a nylon cover showing you the key specifications of the smartphone. It comes with a 6.5” HD+ FullScreen Waterdrop Display and 2.5D design that’s absolutely stunning, and runs on Android ™10（Go edition).

Honestly, the phone looks good on the outside. My itel P37 is in a gradient purple colour which itel says is inspired by the art of light and shadow. They got this right.

The phone comes with a 1600*720 resolution, 84% colour gamut, and a 90% screen to body ratio which makes the display brighter, sharper, and more visually appealing.

Inside the box are the accessories packed with the phone- earphones, a USB cable, charger head, and a protective phone case. See pictures below.

At the back, the itel P37 has an 8MP AI dual rear camera with multiple photography modes like Face Beauty 4.0, HDR, smile shot, AI stickers, and dark light mode. The phone also comes with itel Selfie 4.0- an AI algorithm that gives me a smarter selfie experience. For a smartphone like this, the camera is quite outstanding in dark environments.

For storage, itel P37 has 2GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, and an AI Gallery while the itel P37 Pro has 3GB RAM and 64GB ROM version (I’m eagerly waiting for the Pro). With this, the smartphone can run up to 12 apps without hanging, and can store up to 13,000 photos, 9,000 short videos, 300 TV episodes, and like 100 movies. A major plus for itel. The gaming experience on the phone is also much smoother compared to its predecessor, the itel P36. Hmm… itel seems to have made the itel P37 better from battery, to memory and display.

The smartphone is equipped with a lithium polymer inbuilt 5000mAh battery that has been upgraded with a new and revamped AI Power Master. So far, this seems to work as I use the phone for long periods without charging- it lasts 10% longer than the itel P36. itel also added a safe charging feature that turns on automatically when I plug in the phone as extra protection. Oh, boy, itel didn’t scrimp on this device.

For extra security, itel P37 has face unlock and a multi-functional fingerprint sensor. itel added an extra surprise to this phone that I didn’t see coming- a flip mute feature. itel P37 goes silent when you flip it over. And then with a three-finger swipe on my phone screen, I take screenshots easily. How cool is this? Whatever itel has been drinking these days is working for them.
Its colours are also very fashionable- dark blue, gradient blue, and gradient purple are just the colours you need to brighten up your outfit or day.

itel P37 First Impressions
For a device with a N38,000 price tag, the itel P37 is good money spent. It is one of the most beautiful and powerful entry-level devices I’ve ever used, and I recommend this device to anyone who wants a big battery smartphone for endless fun and play. The smartphone definitely lives up to its ‘Play With Power’ tagline, and would give you value for your money. The itel P37 is available in online and phone retail stores for purchase. You can get yours and let me know what you think of it.
