Well, quite impressive for a budget device I must say.

Lalasticlala Mynd44 Dominique

Quite an amazing line up of specs. I can forgive one or two things because na budget phone

Not bad.. I actually searched for the specs of this phone the day it launched, not bad..

Lol, itel is in a world of it's own. Why I like them is that the company knows what it is, it knows it's not Apple or Samsung, so it's not even trying to compete. I guess their phones are targeted at the entry level market. Which is okay in my books

The phone fine for face, looks trendy

Cool

Lovely OP... Itel has greatly improved in their products. Nice spec and affordable

The phone is relatively okay seeing that it is an entry level phone. Well-done guys

I don see wetin I go buy for my mom as birthday gift.

Buhari don kill Nigeria, na to cut our coat according to our itel sorry, size

Ifeomah:
Lol, itel is in a world of it's own. Why I like them is that the company knows what it is, it knows it's not Apple or Samsung, so it's not even trying to compete. I guess their phones are targeted at the entry level market. Which is okay in my books

Exactly! It's a budget phone, so anyone with a brain should even give them kudos for making it this impressive

tometo:
A budget phone of this specs is relatively awesome honestly

Regardless of what I've heard folks say about itel, I've never really understood what they're doing wrong because the phone is clearly being marketed as a budget offering, I wonder why anyone would want to compare it to high-end phones?

Now that Buhari is destroying the Naira, the best economic phone that gives almost same quality is itel. I endorse

Most people that criticise itel have never experienced the products
