Itel Power 70: The New Budget Phone Nigerians Have Been Waiting For

The new Itel Power 70 appears to be a quite good all-around smartphone. Let’s start by talking about its main selling point: battery capacity. The phone’s internal 6,000 mAh battery is rather large but manageable in size. With dimensions of 165.92 x 77.31 x 7.98 mm and a tipping weight of 200 grams, it is able to retain reasonable proportions. The extra 4,000 mAh charging case that Itel is including as a freebie with the phone is the “trick” here. Including charging loss, this increases the battery’s overall capacity to 10,000 mAh. Since wireless charging is not supported by the Power 70, the case must plug into the Type-C connector of the phone and use its 18W wired charging capacity.

Itel Power 70 Expected Price

In relation to pricing, the Itel Power 70 will be less than NGN 138,172, which is around $85 when the charging case is included. What a great deal that is. On paper, the Power 70 is well-rounded, but of course, you can’t expect incredible hardware for this cheap. With a maximum brightness of 700 nits, it features a 6.67-inch HD+, 120Hz LCD. Itel refers to it as a “Sunlight Display,” asserting that it ought to function well even in bright sunshine. We are unsure. “Supports wet and oily touch control” is another statement made by Itel.

Quick Specifications

There is a single 13MP back camera and an 8MP selfie camera in the photography area. It is predicted that only 1080p video can be captured. In addition, there are two Nano-SIM slots, a side-mounted fingerprint reader, a 3.5mm audio connector, and a single loudspeaker. Sadly, NFC does not exist.
