Seriously speaking, I have come to hate itel products for cheap craps.
I just strolled into 3c hub at my area in ikd to check out d details of d 1516 plus 1st hand to see d specs (lots of confusing post abt it online) and to know d actual price, to my surprise d price was 1st stated to be 29k (I was like WTF), the resolution is poor compared to its predecessor 1556, d 5 inch is almost too small to be true(more like 4.5 inch) and d 1gb ram was definetely a no no for me.
I walked out in great disappointment with itel, to be frank i'm dispposing of the 1556 I have soon, why waste money when I can get lots of good devices for such amounts.

CAVEAT EMPTOR!

Thank you, i reamain vigilant for your reply

i can see all the itel marketers ooo....d phone na just powerbank + lollipop...una well done

Shut Up, what's needed most in phones? Durabilty or quality? You'ld want both ryt?
So what does samsung s4 with 2600mah has to offer with heavy usage? Or the popular tecno brands with ba3 below 4000mah besides L6 and d L series? So let's run down the analaysis, suppose you have Samsung s4 and you browse with 3g for non-stop for 3 hours then you have below or equal to 30%, so what else would you do with that SUPER smartphone? Watch movie? Play a little game? Check pictures or read pdf? I'm positive you won't use it as flashlight at night . (dat would be a bad idea coz it won't last, but 1556 would do dat job without WORRY) So what is the bottom line decision? You POCKET it for calls and sms (hopefully for people to see it in your hands, at least while on, to know you own an expensive device) OR you rush to charge it again with PHCN electricity or a gen or "a powerbank" (after mere 3 hours of chatting and browsing, it sounds ironic that it is "a powerbank" dat will also come to ur rescue) BUT suppose you own itel 1556 (which I am using) you get to do that browsing for more than 3 hour, at least you get 6 hours of 3g/h+ browsing with 46% left (enough juice to watch seasonal movie for extra 3 hours) with at least 19% left (which will still last longer than the 30% of the samsung s4). It now begs the qstn, who's using his fone for calls, sms and pdf viewing; it1556 correct "powerbank" or quality but not-enuf-power "1gb ram devices"? Ansa dat on ur own.

I rest my case, when you wanna talk about a product, do so from hands-on review and let it be logical. Any criticism of d itel 1556 5000mah device herea(the thread) is BASELESS.

Go ahead and read tecno brands and infinix hot's thread; hot 2, infinix zero, the users all complain of battery.

ITEL MANUFACTURERS THIS DOESN'T MEAN I SUPPORT YOUR REPEATED 512 RAM DEVICES OOO! EVEN ON A 5.1 OS CHAI! PLS "C H A N G E" OOOOO!
It pains me that all your flasgship has only 1gb ram and 8gb rom as their specs (except for d it1702 only with 16gb rom)

Anyways what everyone wants in a device varies. That's all I have to say

Carlcaresophia:
Hello Ryfoz, we had transferred your info to our colleagues, please wait with patience. Thank you!

Still patiently waiting...

I own the it1556(as at when i posted this) and I can say it's a good device, you've already highlighted the key selling points of d 1556: OTG(rarely seen in most releases now, fast charge(truly fast charges like seriously and still last more than 12 hours watching movies uninterrupted), android 5.1(cool) 5.5 inches (just what i desire) and the camera is dope (it surpassed my expectation, and particularly the front camera 2mp).
D RAM is clearly manageable
It1556 ALL T H E W A Y
F u c k overpriced tecno devices (their days of exploitation is OVER)

klinro:
Take it to Carlcare in Ikeja, 20, Obafemi Awolowo Way, Ikeja,

Okay, i'm very grateful for your reply.
Thumbs up

klinro:
aside the RAM of the itel 1556, what else would you say is wrong with the phone ??

8gb ROM is really low for android 5.1

It's a nice post but i'ld say that all the above procedures is useless when the device has been factory resseted or worst flashed. No mugu will retain those details when stolen na

I have called the mtn number you listed there and a female agent talked with me. I explained my situation to her about how I sent my broda to buy d device for me and forgot to pick up d receipt along with d fone dat very day and she said they cannot work on the device for me without the receipt, either my veracity is doubted or she misinformed me or that is the actual case(PROCEDURE/PROTOCOL), I must say that her reply made me very unhappy because the device is just 2 WEEKS OLD. It is very unfair and disheartening because I didn't steal this device, I bought it with my hard-earned money (real sweat in dis Buhari era) and now I can't ge a repair support from the very Company THAT MANUFACTURED IT.
This will serve as a deterrement for me not to dare buy any of ur products ever again and will never encourage aynone to do so too. I really regret promoting your product (it1701 and dis it556, check their thread and see my comments to verify my claims). I don't see any sense in going through this stress if i was LYING

No qualms sha, I look forward to better things.

My number is +2348185333539, if you have any good news for me, pls endeavour to text me directly if you can or leave your reply here if you wish.

I repeat the problrm is that the device (it1556) is stuck on boot logo and has refused to enter reovery mode with series of combo i have tried. The battery is drained competely.

Pardon me for inaccurate narration
By "there" (where I bought the device) I meant 3C Hub at Lagos Road, Ikorodu for #22,800 naira as at 2nd of this Month.
Tnx

I think the receipt issue is gonna be a problem because when I bought it, it was my younger broda I sent on my behalf becos I was held up at work and he forgot to pick it along with it that day but after reading your reply and went there for that receipt or perhaps re-issue of receipt they are demanding 2k (#2,000) from me. I didn't pay them for it and cannot pay such for a phone from them not less than 2 fucking weeks.
My main qstn now is, is the receipt MANDATORY for them to work on my phone or it was only going to serve as my warranty bargain? if the answer is YES, can they at least do the software repair for me for a considerable price?

PLS LET ME KNOW YOUR REPLY, BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT TO GO TO THE IKEJA IN VAIN AND UNINFORMED

Thanks in advance

Competition with a 512mb Ram device?
Are u sure u have eaten?

L L

Tcheck:
the Ram is 512mb nd not 2gig. I think itel is cursed with 512mb Ram.

I beg to differ, not for the sake of justifying my it1556 but I'm telling you that d 512 RAM is doing wonders for me (though I optimised it a little to achieve that goal). Reason? I have over 100 apps now (GTA VC included and playing smoothly, though I know it probably can't handle God fire or the likes)

Check my posts on the itel 1556 thread
NOTE: I'm not showing off o biko but merely trying to give people who may wish to flex d device hope.
