iTel P33
Overview
The iTel P33 is the latest smartphone from iTel Mobility. The device comes in a 5.5-inch HD+ Display, with 720 x 1440 pixels resolution. The major selling point of the iTel P33 is the built-in 4000mAh battery, which should be able to easily take you through a full day of use or more. The device also has a Plus version, which has a 6.0 inch screen, and a larger 5000mah battery.
The iTel P33 is the successor of last year’s P32. But this unit comes with a redesigned vertical camera placement, similar to the iTel S33 mobile phone. The rear camera is a combination of 8 + 0.8-megapixel sensors, while a single 5-megapixel selfie camera seats up front.
iTel was able to squeeze some Artificial Intelligence (AI) features (like Bokeh and FaceID) into the P33, but don’t expect a 100% level of accuracy as on more powerful devices like the Infinix Zero 6 or even the Tecno Camon 11. Aside from FaceID, there’s also a rear-placed fingerprint scanner, which iTel claims can perform 8 different tasks on the device, such as unlocking the device, answering calls, and taking photo shots among others.
Specification-wise, the device is powered by a Quad-core Spreadtrum SC7731E CPU which means; the iTel P33 does not have support for a 4G LTE network. Along with the CPU, there’s an ARM Mali T820 MP1 graphic processor, 1GB of RAM, and 16GB internal storage, expandable up to 32GB via SD card.
As mentioned above, the selling point of this device is the presence of a 4000mAh battery. Combining this battery capacity with the Google Android Go edition is far enough to get you through 24 or even 48 hours of continuous usage. The detailed specifications and other silent features of the iTel P33 are itemized in the table below.
