There are two kinds of people in this world- those who are quick to buy the latest devices every 6 to 10 months, and those who are perfectly fine hanging on to their aging smartphones, so far they work.

Whichever group you belong, let us remind you that this is 2019, therefore, you have absolutely no excuse moving around with a walking dead device as there is enough smartphone for everyone to go round. If your phone is old, broken, or its taking the back seat in giving you the best experience, it is definitely time to pick up a new one. Here are 5 signs it’s time to upgrade your smartphone. You’ll thank us later.

1. “Sorry, can I charge my phone here or with your power bank?” has become your catchphrase.

Having to charge your battery every 30 minutes is enough to make anyone go nuts. If you have applied different tips on how to increase the battery life, and your smartphone battery still runs down before the day ends, then you know there is a problem. Rather than spend money on new batteries and chargers all the time, get yourself a new reliable and trendy smartphone, and drop that title of “King of low battery”.
2. You’re Spiderman’s landlord, as there is a giant spider web on your phone.

If your smartphone looks like it has gone five rounds with Floyd Mayweather, then it’s time to change it. Having a cracked screen is the worst, and repairing it can be quite expensive. Before the phone completely outlives its usefulness, its better to upgrade into something better.
3. Your phone takes you back to the ‘80s, anytime you use the camera

Remember the 80s photos- blurry, black and white, absolutely vintage. When you take pictures with your phone and that is the result you get, my brother, my sister, time to change that phone. There are affordable models out there with impressive camera specs, capable of taking clear and crisp photos.
4. You’re always running out of storage
If you constantly have to delete your apps, pictures, and videos to make more storage room, then it’s time for an upgrade. Get yourself a new smartphone that can run faster, lighter, and use less memory.
5. In a race between a tortoise and your phone, the animal would win
Nobody wants to wait around for a smartphone that takes years to respond. Although there are reasons why your phone might slow down, in many cases, the age of the smartphone plays a part, over the Android update, RAM size, and many others. There is a good chance that the operating system on it is old and out of date. Not only will this prevent you from installing apps, it is also a security risk, as smartphone makers often stop releasing security updates for the older operating systems.
While there are a plethora of affordable yet reliable smartphones out there to upgrade to, why not opt for the latest selfie-centric smartphone in town – itel S15 Pro. This smartphone has proven to excel in rigorous reliability and camera quality tests with its 16MP AI selfie camera, dual rear camera, AI Beauty Mode 3.0, 6.1“ HD+ IPS Waterdrop FullScreen, AndroidTM 9 Pie (Go Edition), 3000mAh battery, 32GB ROM expandable up to 128GB RAM, 2GB RAM, 4G internet connectivity, with other stellar features .
For efficient all-round performance, the itel S15 Pro is your best bet. It comes in black, gradation red, and gradation med blue at an affordable price of N29,500. For more information, visit @itelMobileNG on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.

The history of the smartphone landscape in Nigeria has been one with cut-throat competition, with companies rising quickly to the top, and in many cases disappearing just as quickly. Out of the countless smartphone makers that have sprouted up to build on the Android market, itel Mobile has succeeded to break the hegemony in the low and mid-range segment of the market, through a focus on reliable and affordable smartphone for everyone.
itel’s transformation in Nigeria over its 12 years of existence is quite remarkable.

This is certainly not a matter of luck but of sheer hard work. The company penetrated the Nigerian market in a practical way, understanding the people’s needs and creating smartphone for everyone that is highly affordable without compromising on quality.
Looking at the specific set of features, Nigerian smartphone users look out for like: a decent camera, long-lasting battery, dual-sim capabilities, fingerprint sensor, face unlock, all these have been integrated into itel’s Android, Power and Selfie series at an affordable price lower than other similar phones you can find in the market.

Recently, itel launched two new power heros, itel P33, and P33 plus, equipped with a 4000mAH battery and AI power master. These devices are already touted by tech analysts and press reviews to give users a good run for their money.
The technology breakthrough in itel smartphones series shows itel’s continued advancement towards its goal to remain a king in the low and mid-range segment of the market and be among the top three mobile brands globally.
Thus, this is significant progress for the brand and her tremendous growth despite the enormous challenges is highly commendable.

If you thought the itel P32 was impressive, then the P33 and P33 Plus just took the game forward because these new entrants will give available competition the biggest run for their money.
While the itel P33 and P33 Plus might not have too many differences in their specifications, undoubtedly, those who are hungry for more battery power will find these new devices interesting.

Besides, when there is a seamless interplay between hardware and software as well as affordable pricing, you get a smartphone worth talking about. One of such smartphones is the new power heroes in the market – itel P33 and P33 Plus.

But… what if you can get both quality and affordability?
There is a growing need for devices that can bring the flagship experience at a much more affordable price, and that is the need itel Mobile has been fulfilling. By creating the most affordable smartphone for everyone, the Chinese mobile phonemaker is back again with her new game-changing battery smartphone, itel P33.

You have to pardon me, I am not your typical tech enthusiast who would write technical terms while reviewing a gadget. Instead, I am an entrepreneur running my own startup business, always on the go and who doesn’t always have the time to sit down and charge everything I own all the time. So, I needed a smartphone with a long-lasting battery at an affordable cost to stay in touch with my clients.
If budgetary concerns are at the top of your list when looking for a good smartphone with valid features to buy, then I would recommend the itel P33 and here is why:

BIG BATTERY WITH A PLUS – AI POWER MASTER
Since a phone is still predominantly a communication device for me, I wanted a smartphone that would enable me call and text all day long without having to worry about the battery getting low or frantically search for where to charge next. itel P33 was the ultimate solution for me. In my opinion, the battery is top notch. It has a 4000mAh battery with artificial intelligence power master that automatically controls the power consumption of the phone. Being a heavy user, I get to charge the device once, and it lasts up to 80 hours. Remember, this will vary depending on what you do with your device, but I have had no problems with the battery life whatsoever.
IMMERSIVE DISPLAY
The itel P33 has a distinctly sharper, more saturated display, which I found to be more enjoyable when watching my favorite episode of Game of Thrones or reading a book. It dons a 5.5” HD+ IPS FullScreen while its twin, itel P33 Plus comes with a 6.0” IPS FullScreen Display and a fashionable gradation blue color.
STORAGE AND SECURITY
Complementing the fingerprint sensor is a facial identification scanner. What we all call Face Unlock. This efficient combination means more improved security and I must say that this is quite new to the itel train of devices. With all the videos, pictures, screenshots, movies and documents I love to store, P33 enables me to do so with its 16GB ROM expandable up to 32GB with a memory card.
To think I only got this device for N24,000 and to enjoy stellar specs like these is nothing short of amazing. Again, itel has proven to be the mobile master providing just that trendy and affordable smartphone for everyone. A device with such great features pegged at that price, the itel P33 and P33 Plus is an attractive option for students, working professionals, businessmen, and women looking for a smartphone with good battery and reliable functionalities.

Reiterating her commitment to being a brand that cares beyond just creating a smartphone for everyone, Africa’s customer-centric brand, itel Mobile, has again set the standard for what it means to put customers first, as they gifted two brand new Corolla cars to two of their phone sub-dealers in Lagos, Nigeria.


This is in recognition of the sub-dealers’ exhibition of diligence and dedication in the discharge of their duties.
The overjoyed customers received the cars on the 5th of March, 2019, which was presented to them by Kevin Zhang, the Country Manager of itel Mobile, in the presence of their family, well-wishers, and itel management staff.
For itel Mobile, it isn’t just the trendy, reliable and affordable smartphones that brought them closer to the hearts of Nigerians, rather, it is the way the brand shows her appreciation and support to customers through CSR campaigns and other personalized marketing activities.

Speaking on the surprise gifts, Oke Umurhohwo, Marketing Communications Manager itel mobile said:
“ There are a couple of things about itel Mobile that makes us different from other brands. One of them is our passion and commitment to creating a seamless experience that provides exceptional service and support to our customers. Beyond our promise to deliver affordable and reliable products, we are a brand with a culture that involves extending care and support, all in a bid to create customer happiness”
Sometimes great service means getting out of your customer’s way and creating happiness by giving them the necessary tools to meet their needs. These unique and unexpected gifts from itel Mobile is one of their ways of showing they actually care.


For the year 2019, itel Mobile is surely just getting started with her box of surprises and we could only imagine what the brand has up her sleeves in the second quarter of the year and the rest to come.

Yes! The new definition of mobile usage and performance lies in its battery capacity. Itel Mobile has proven over and again that it understands the clauses and the bends of the Nigerian smartphone consumer market and their need for a long-lasting battery in an environment with a minimal supply of electricity.
This is not a claim, but a fact and the brand is not stopping at anything to prove beyond any form of doubts. The introduction of a new power hero device- itel P33, on the brand’s long list of smartphones revalidates the strong presence of itel in the Nigerian market.

All batteries have an expiry date, including your smartphone battery. However, how you use it, charge it and handle it, defines the longevity of the battery before it starts to malfunction. The phone battery, as unconventional as it may sound, is the heartbeat of any smartphone. Some people would rather say software is more important, but of what importance would a smartphone be when you can’t see beyond a dark screen?
Buying a smartphone with a very good OS is one thing; buying a smartphone that lasts you for a longer period of time is another thing. However, a device with a poor battery performance that can only last few hours loses its credibility to even begin with. While a bad battery can either be a factory error or user-caused error, in most cases, we as users are the core problem of why our smartphone battery “sucks” and here is why:
1. Charging your smartphone overnight
One of the most asked phone battery questions is; can you overcharge your phone? The good news is no, which means charging it overnight so that you can have enough juice to run the day is not necessary. Phone batteries contain a rechargeable lithium-ion (or Li-ion) battery which charges faster than traditional rechargeable batteries. However, according to an article from Cadex’s Battery University Site, culled from TIME, Li-ion does not need to be fully charged as is the case with lead acid and it is better not to fully charge because high voltage stresses the battery. Simply put, overcharging is detrimental to your battery.
2. Charging While Operating Your Phone
We might all be guilty of this with few of us even knowing the impact this habit has on our phone battery. This increases the internal temperature leading to overheating and shortens the battery life.
3. Using Knockoff Chargers
It is important that you find a compatible charger, preferably use the original charger for your smartphone as it is also a key factor if you want a long-lasting battery. Some of these chargers can cause software malfunction as they do not include any safety mechanism to protect against fluctuation and over-charging.
Besides adopting healthy phone battery usage and practices such as switching off battery-draining apps and carrying a portable power bank everywhere you go, you can invest that money and time into purchasing a smartphone with long-lasting battery life. I honestly think it’s time you start getting value for every dime spent on a smartphone.
While you can go for a Samsung or Huawei device, why not opt for the best and the newest addition of good battery life smartphone in the market – the itel P33. This smartphone has proven to excel in rigorous reliability test and long-lasting battery life with its 4000mAh battery combined with an AI power master that assures an excellent battery performance. On the itel P33, you can conveniently go 80 hours on a single charge which roughly rounds up to 24 hours of gaming, 30 hours video playback, 35 hours call-time, and 200 hours music playback.
With the itel P33, you're getting more than just a long-lasting phone. itel also added other premium features like a fingerprint sensor, face unlock and dual rear-cameras, making this an attractive budget option for people who still want their phones to pack a lot of capabilities.

What is your favorite smartphone right now?
Whatever it is, I bet it caught your attention right away with its outstanding technological embodiment, when you entered that store to purchase it.

From full-screen display to notch screen to artificial intelligence to fingerprint sensor, the desire to bring something different and technologically inclined ultimately led to the ultra-cool mobile trends that we were excited about in 2018.
You have got to agree that this year was pretty intense, with smartphone brands battling for supremacy of flagship devices – a battle that left tech-savvy individuals like you and I thrilled, as we all couldn’t wait to get a hold of the latest innovative device in town.
First, it started with Samsung taking an early lead with its Slow-Mo pride, S9, then its rival Apple released iPhone XS and XS max. Meanwhile, Huawei stormed the market with a triple-camera smartphone, P20, but Chinese phone maker, TECNO beat them all in the market to the launch of a 24MP camera phone, CAMON X and X pro.
However, 2018 was also a year to shine for other OEMs who changed the way we look at flagship smartphones, showing us that we need not spend up to N50,000 on a phone before getting the best performance. An outstanding one is itel Mobile that stormed the market with itel P32, a battery monster device that doesn’t cost a fortune amongst other smartphones that are of relatively high quality.
No doubt, there was a cut-throat competition for smartphones in Nigeria in 2018. Even in the over-saturated space, here is a recap of the top smartphones we loved this year:
Samsung Galaxy S9: The S9 is definitely one Android phone you would love to flaunt. Not only for its magnificent design and build but for its slow-Mo feature that has reinvented taking fun pictures for us.
iPhone XS: Many years ago, Apple had an advertising campaign that said, “ if you don’t have an iPhone, you don’t have an iPhone”. This, in 2018 holds true for the iPhone XS. This device offered new improved features that give a near-perfect and seamless consumer experience.
Huawei P20: Huawei decided to storm with a jaw-dropping, not one, not two but three front camera smartphone and oh! did we fall deeply in love with this stunning device. The unique triple camera design with 68 megapixels worth of shooting power takes some fantastic shots with a low light mode along with other stellar specs.
itel P32: As the electricity supply in this part of the world keeps getting worse by the day and there is constant need to charge our phones in order not to run out of juice when taking pictures, watching videos, playing games and so on, Africa’s mobile giant, itel Mobile decided to surprise us with an enormous battery smartphone, the itel P32. What do we love about this phone? It has a super big battery, very affordable, quite trendy and highly reliable.
Did we miss out on your best smartphone for the year? we’ll let us know in the comment section, but for worth is worth, these are the smartphones that played a big game in the camera capabilities, affordability, strong battery and trendiness this year.

We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give”- Winston S. Churchill.
On Sunday, 16th December 2018, Santa Claus came in early, bringing in amazing gifts and donations for less privileged children, nursing mothers, widow and widowers in Oke – Eri Community, Oworonshoki Lagos State, as a team of volunteers and staff of Africa’s customer-centric smartphone maker, itel Mobile in conjunction with Lagos food Bank spread love in the community with the campaign theme “LOVE ALWAYS ON”.
The CSR campaign train did not conclude its journey in Lagos alone but made impactful stops in other cities from Onitsha, Abuja, Ibadan, Port Harcourt, Kano, and Kaduna and the reception was amazing in every community visited.

It is hard to find companies that understand the importance of giving back to the communities that define them. For itel Mobile, the essence of taking a bold initiative to provide infrastructural and basic amenities for the communities surrounding the brand has proven to be a vital aspect of its core values and existence.


As a brand that aims to improve the educational and health system in Nigeria as well as fight hunger/poverty, the itel team made donations of over 500 pieces of pens, 500 pieces of school bags, book materials and water bottles, 400 pieces of pencil cases, 1000 pieces of tomato paste, over 80 cartons of noodles, clothes, foodstuffs, toiletries amongst others.

Commenting on the brand’s CSR campaigns this Yuletide season, Oke Umurhohwo, itel’s Marketing Communications Manager said:
“At itel Mobile, we are proud to be a part of the communities we serve through our involvement in local charities, youth sports, and events that inspire the world. Giving back is an essential part of who we are. We don’t just aim to provide smartphones for everyone but also to grow deeper and wider in community outreach in the coming years, touching over a million lives in 2020”.
The LOVE ALWAYS ON CSR campaign train also made stops in the following cities, enriching their lives, and equally putting smiles on their faces, such as:
Our Lady of Fatima primary school, Ayingba in Kogi state where pupils were provided with educational materials and a little Xmas party.
Also, a visit to Nasarawa Orphanage Home, Kano state on the 15th December 2018 where foodstuffs and gifts items like itel notebooks, Water bottles, Christmas shopping bags were shared.


The children at Christabel Kids British International School Obosi, Anambra State were not left out too on experiencing itel’s love at Christmas.

The brand also supported the beauty pageant “ The Humanitarian Queen 2018” at UniZik, Awka, Anambra state.



itel Mobile spreading the love this Christmas season is a life-changing experience for everyone involved in the community outreach, as it is in times like this one starts to tide over the insignificant and immaterial things and appreciate the bigger picture.


Nevertheless, It is exciting to see how itel Mobile incorporates Sustainable development goals into its core business strategies, making it a brand that doesn’t just provide smartphones for everyone but also cares deeply for the needs of its consumers and society at large.
There is no doubt, these CSR initiatives taken by the brand is yielding results to improve the quality of living for Nigerians, not only in Lagos but across other states in the country.

If you can handle the adrenaline and you are ready to own more than one premium smartphone at an affordable price this Yuletide season, then get yourself to the itel & Google computer village carnival on Thursday, 20th December 2018.

These days, everyone is getting to click, click, click, and click on the camera button on smartphones, whether it’s using the front camera to take a selfie or the back camera to take artistic shots. Whether you think the most important feature on a smartphone is the battery life, the display size or the processor, there is no denial that one of the first thing we all do when we are about to purchase a phone is to check out the camera with one question in mind, “how clear is it?’.
This year has seen the launch of some really good camera phones in the Nigerian smartphone market like the Gionee A1, Huawei P20, TECNO CAMON X among others. However, itel Mobile has decided to dethrone them all with more pixels, powerful sensors and advanced autofocus mechanism through the recently released itel S13. The new kid on the block, itel S13, is touted to guarantee a really good camera experience for selfie lovers and photography enthusiasts. Wondering why you should pick the itel S13 over any other selfie phone? I will give you 3:
1. Picture perfect at an unbeatable price tag!
The itel S13 is built with a 13MP front camera and 5MP dual rear cameras with autofocus to take clearer selfies and excellent shots in brightly-lit and low light conditions. The selfie camera is incredible at picking up the foreground subject and turning it into a sharp, detailed, and in-focus miracle with the 4 in 1 big pixel technology. This feature is a great virtue made available at an affordable retail price of just N23,500.
2. New beauty mode for the best selfie experience
It also features the new face beauty mode 2.0 tailored to make the face thinner, ruddy, smooth and radiant to get you the kind of stunning chocolate skin and melanin look your heart desires. It also comes with more filters with portrait mode artificially separating you from the background, resulting in some really striking images.
3. Beautiful phone with a slim body
The device is 8.4mm slimmer with a texture that makes it sit well when held in hand without the fear of it slipping and falling to the floor. It also comes in color variants such as Bordeaux red, Midnight Black and Champagne Gold, giving it the classy and beautiful look that fits your style.

In Nigeria, one out of three people battles with poverty, and whether we like it or not this has led to other breakouts which are tearing families in Nigeria and around the world apart. Hunger and in most cases malnutrition have become major outcomes of poverty and it appears that a lot can be done with respect to this menace. Little wonder the Yoruba speaking people of Nigeria have a witty saying that when “hunger is out of the equation, poverty is closed to being completely solved”.
Independent.co.uk projected in 2017, that 90,000 children would die in Nigeria due to hunger-related issues. This explains why Africa’s mobile phone giant, itel Mobile, in partnership with Lagos Food Bank took the initiative to give back to the community, thereby catering for the less privileged and putting a wide smile on their faces.
Agboyi-Ketu witnessed a day they are really thankful for. The extent to which hunger has impacted negatively on children, nursing mothers, and widows, cannot be overemphasized.


The hunger prevention initiative of feeding Nigerians is part of itel’s commitment to building a better world by aligning its consumers and products to help eliminate hunger through its CSR program “ itel always love on campaign”. Through product donations such as school bags, food items, clothes, books, writing materials, and the help of skilled volunteers, itel demonstrated its concern for the community by offering its best resources to keep the momentum of giving going.

Commenting on the brand’s CSR campaign, Marvin Umbeiye, itel’s Marketing Manager said:
“I am very proud to be part of a brand whose priority is giving back to the communities where we live and work. The joy our CSR activities give the families, make me positive that Itel will continue to improve livelihoods, until the Nigeria we crave is achieved. We are very hopeful for a brighter and more sustainable future”.
The joy on the members of the community faces was the resounding theme throughout the outreach over the weekend. Over 200 volunteers from itel Mobile and Lagos Food Bank, gave up nearly 8 hours of their time, in order to enrich the lives of Nigerians, and equally put smiles on their faces. itel Mobile encourages other brands who do not have CSR plans, to give it a thought. In the words of a popular musician, “We rise by lifting others”.
Some of the differences itel made over the weekend in Agboyi-Ketu community can be seen in the snapshots below:

It’s safe to say the ride for one of Africa’s biggest smartphone brand itel- is rather a phenomenal one, recording tremendous growth over the years. Nine years ago, consumers may have not heard of the brand, itel Mobile.
Today, it is one of the largest smartphone manufacturers in Africa by market share and sales volume and has definitely established a firm presence in the affordable and mid-price range by introducing multiple models in the category that are reliable and trendy. Indeed, the growth is remarkable and commendable.
itel smartphones are remarkable in a lot of ways, and their selfie camera and battery life are arguably the best around. Most Nigerians, either students, workers or artisans own an itel phone, compared to other competitors within the smartphone space they play in, such as fero, Gionee, and Tambo. Wondering how this Chinese mobile brand has taken over the Nigerian smartphone market, here are three valid reasons why:
1. Affordable phones without compromising on quality:


If you are looking for the best budget-friendly Android phones available in 2018 today, then you are welcome to pick from itel’s line-up of phone models. They carry the premium build of a flagship but without the massive price tag. You can always get an itel smartphone less than N25,000 with the superb camera sensor, long-lasting battery life, and speedy processors that offers compelling value for money used in purchasing it, such as the itel P32, itel S13, itel S33 amongst others.
2. Incredible battery life on smartphones:
It can be quite frustrating when you get a new phone only to discover after three weeks of using it, that it runs out of battery percentage quickly. What good is the use of an expensive phone when you can’t enjoy using the apps and features because of a wobbly battery build? Interestingly, the case is different from itel smartphones. Their devices can go 3 days on 1 single charge, giving an uninterrupted smartphone usage. For example, the itel P32 with a big battery of 3000mAH

3. Smartphone for everyone in mind:
Coming into the Nigerian market over a decade ago, itel Mobile had one unique strategy in mind; to empower everyone with seamless communication devices that are reliable, affordable, and trendy. The phone brand has succeeded in creating phones to cater to different needs and preferences. For selfie lovers and photography enthusiasts, you can purchase a premium phone from itel’s Selfie series portfolio. For those in transit in need of a lasting battery life, there are the itel power series smartphones. lastly, for those in need of a simple android phone, there is the itel’s Android series. There is simply smartphone for everyone.

You don’t want to miss out on this.

In today’s smartphone world, the benchmark for what is smart about a flagship has become very fluid. So when shopping for a new phone, the word on most people’s mind is ‘extra-sure’ when it gets to the exchange of money for a device; for every user it is all about the value, longevity and durability.
So what are the features to consider in your next smartphone if you want to keep it a little longer in use? These three (3) cool features we’re very sure will tick any day:
Powerful Cameras
Good cameras are must-haves if the smartphone will stand any chance of not getting dumped the next year. Show us an iPhone X owner who wouldn’t want to hold his or her smartphone a little longer? This top-end from Apple made good its camera specs by scaling up to the latest retina HD technology with its rear camera boasting 12MP, f/1.8 with quad-LED tone flash.

With the new pop culture of taking selfies to capture moments, it is now paramount for every smartphone to come with a stunning selfie-shooter front facing camera. A recent review for smartphones with the best selfie camera showed that itel Mobile’s latest flagship, itel S13 with a 13MP front camera with its innovated 4 in 1 big pixel technology and soft flashlights is the new big thing and the best selfie camera upgrade which gives the user a near DSLR camera control.
Ultra-slim body
Top-end phones have the magical power to keep their body ultra-slim with all that high-end specifications stuffed right in. It feels good holding a polished and refined unibody smartphone that is sleek and slim yet it has a grippy texture that makes it difficult to slip out of hand. The new itel S13 is 8.4mm thin yet stomaching quad-core processor and 1GB RAM/8GB ROM with an expandable slot up to 32GB.

Adequate security
No one ever likes an intrusion on their privacy, especially when you have files to protect on your smartphone. Thanks to technology, there came the password and patterns to unlock phones. With the evolution of tech, the fingerprint sensor emerged for convenience and optimized security amongst other benefits. Additionally, itel S13 is packed with a customized, convenient, responsive and multi-functional fingerprint sensor. Users can program up to five unique fingerprints for taking photo or video, answering phone call and quick launch apps directly from the lock screen. There is also a gesture key to maximize the full screen experience for users.
So there you have it. These 3 super-cool features will guarantee an effortless unique smartphone usage experience.

The new itel S13 was launched some weeks ago and a lot of things have been said about the device. I just got mine today and I can boldly say, itel Mobile have really done very well with this device- at least from the packaging.
After the release of the itel S13, I was among the set of people looking forward to the next itel selfie series flagship because the itel S32 for me, remains the best selfie smartphone to grace the market last season. So, the question was “what else does itel want to do”? Well, I guess they just answered the question with their mantra “smartphone for everyone”.
OK, without wasting much time let’s unbox this device!

Specifications
• 5.5 inch IPS full screen display
• 13MP front camera
• AndroidTM 8.1 (Go edition)
• 1.3 GHz Quad-Core
• 1GB RAM, 8GB ROM expandable up to 32GB
• 5.0M AF +VGA Dual Rear Camera
• Fingerprint sensor
• 2400mAH battery

The amazing S13 ships in a stylish white box with beautiful design aesthetics. When I opened the box, I found one of the most attractive android smartphone I have ever seen. No wonder, this smartphone was called or should I say termed by many of my colleagues as the most phenomenally built handset so far.



On revealing, you get to see the itel S13 in all its glory, sitting pretty with its 5.5”IPS full screen display.


Moving further, you will see the accessories – a red earpiece, a USB cord, a power charger and a plastic protective back case. On top, the 3.5mm audio jack is positioned alone at the left hand side of the device, which means you can put your phone inside your pocket comfortably with your headphone plugged. At the bottom, you will find the microphone jack and USB port.

In the front is also a 13MP selfie shooter created to take clear, brighter and beautiful selfies in every lighting condition.

itel S13 first impressions
At a price tag of 23,500 naira, I think this device will deliver good value for the money spent on it. itel S13 is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful device I’ve set my eyes on with its sleek and slim design which fits perfectly in the hand. This would be a good smartphone for those selfie lovers who desire to take clearer selfies. In the meantime, you can visit any retail and online store nearer to you to purchase this device.

It is right to say you shouldn’t validate your self-worth based on the likes and comments you get on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter through the snapshots you posted.

But hey; this is the age of selfies where the biggest currency to get more followers and admirers is by getting a ton of likes on your pictures. Sometimes it is ok to have a little fun and get giggly over people admiring the beauty in your selfies. However it can be quite awkward to upload a selfie/snapshot to social media and have it ignored. A lot of elements goes into being picture perfect, so here are recommended selfie ideas to get you more likes, comments and shares:

1. Check out the lighting: most people make the mistake of taking a selfie by backing the light, not only does it reflects poorly in the picture but it creates a distracting glare and overexposes your selfie. So next time, find good ambient light to illuminate your face without exposing every detail.

2. Strike flattering poses: strike the wrong pose that doesn’t accentuate your best body features and you have people swiping up to the next post without even clicking the like button. Posture matters. Take selfies from the right angles that shows a clear detail of your profile. You can pop one hip to the side for a slimmer looking waist, or place a hand on the hip for slender looking arms amongst other stunning poses.

3. Optimize your background: imagine taking a selfie with a background that screams creepy. Background is a very important element in photography, learn to remove unnecessary distraction and clutters that makes the picture output look shabby.

4. Use the right selfie camera smartphone: you can only get all these steps right if you have the most resourceful smartphone in hand. I would recommend the new itel S13, a smartphone built to fulfil a selfie’s lover dream. With a 13MP selfie camera and the new Face Beauty mode 2.0, you get to take not just clear but clearer, brighter and excellent snapshots both in bright and low light conditions.


5. Take selfies using high angles. Remember to take selfies horizontally. Always make use of hashtags to increase chances of you picture getting seen.
At this point, it’s a no brainer, the preferred device for the absolute best selfies is the itel S13 smartphone.

This question will have most of you saying “I can live indefinitely without my smartphone” but then a second thought creeps in real fast; “really can I do that?”

So you reach into your pocket or bag for your phone – and get that immediate shock of panic when - it’s not there. Your brain does a perfect job of overthinking and retracing every step you took before that moment. Your stomach lurches. Your heart races. In this era of social media, it’s even sad that you can’t post your missing phone status on WhatsApp or tweet about your loss.
The sad truth is we might all literally go crazy for a minute or two when we realize our smartphone is missing or not within our reach. Thoughts like the phone is going off with calls, texts, news alerts and social media notifications every few seconds just keeps crossing your mind.
With the advent of technology and the birth of smartphones, these devices are now likened to babies that need utmost care. With every beep and dings, we are smitten by the reassuring warmth that we still own a device that can connect us to the rest of the world and with every scratch and fall, we are angered at the amount of money that needs to leave our pocket for the repair of such damage.
Then why are smartphones so indispensable in our lives?
1. It’s a fast way to talk to special people for as long as you want

Look around you for a second, half of the people you can see are on their smartphones, either chatting or making calls. Why wouldn’t we love smartphones then? These little robots in rectangular shapes enables us to communicate information really fast without having to travel miles apart to do so in person.
2. It’s the perfect escape from boredom

Are you bored? With different apps made available at your fingertips through smartphones, it’s easy to pick up your phone and quick launch apps like Twitter, Instagram to join in on interesting conversations and images that makes you forget your current situation.
