CALL: 08034834313
okay ooooh but how much is the cost of the phone
Why can’t they upgrade their camera for Christ sake same or lower camera all. The time, I’m beginning to lose interest in this itel honestly.
It hasn’t got to that dear. Besides iTel is trying and need to be commended. Remember they have a target audience: those on budget. Lol!
Itel should upgrade for once kwanuš¤¦
Why is the itel p38 not having double tap to wake?
Have you guys seen the specs of iTel Vision3 Plus?
I used to love itel passionately and still using itel, but I’m beginning to loose interest in itel.
Why don’t itel build their smartphones with front flash? Why don’t itel upgrade in ram size? Why don’t itel improve in camera quality?
this one has the option to have 4gig ram through memory fusion option
I have not used any iTel smartphone before. But having gone through the specs, I wish to key in on this one. I am earnestly waiting to read the best of reviews on this model from you, @ mr Ekpa. Notify me.
Hi Kojiek NG. Thanks for all your comments. I also saw your comment on the P17 page. So sorry for the delays in putting up the spec details on the P38-series… More to come!
Itel is amazing when they present 5000mah believe it …..what’s left is to upgrade and compete well done guys am with you
Well done my dear itel company,
This is standard, my p36 pro lite is as far as air, battery lasting like stabilizer, I have been waiting for this 6000mah battery plus 18+watt fast charger, 13mp & bigger screen & finally it’s here…….. Sell it in Nigeria fast I can’t wait…… Itel is the most low cost yet stronger phone I av ever seen on Earth,
Yes o, you are right. Since I have been using Android phones only itel gave me rest of mind especially battery strength. I used itel p51, itel p33, and now am going for this one itel p38 pro
WHEN RE WE EXPECTING IT PLEASE
Please has it started retailing in Nigeria yet or when would it start
And hoping for a full unboxing and review video soonest, thanks.
For now, you may find P38 standard, but the Pro model is not on sales yet.
Comment: is it swapable?
Comment:hope is now available in nigeria now?And at how much rate will i get it?
Itel is a dumb phone and it will continue to be a dumb phone until they upgrade
Imagine 64gb 2gb ram what nonsense is that?
Please you people should upgrade in all aspects, how can I be using phone that has 2gb ram @ p37 and now want to buy a higher phone that still has the same ram? Who dose that? Itel is a good product I most recommend that ,but we need some upgrades
Hey. I’ve been waiting for this itel p38 pro after using p37. When will it be in the Kenyan market?
When will it be available please
Why 2gb RAM?
YOU GUYS ARE GETTING ITEL WRONG, ITEL HAS A TARGET MARKET WHICH IS THOSE ON TIGHT BUYET. BUT ITEL STILL TRY TO MAKE THEIR DEVICE COMPETE WITH THE TREND… THIS P38-PRO HAS 2GB RAM PLUS 2GB RAM FUSION, 2GB RAM FUSION MEANS THAT YOU CAN TURN 2GB OUT FROM THE 64GB ROM TO 2GB RAM… SO 2GB RAM + 2GB RAM/MEOMORY FUSION MEANS 4GB RAM………… MY ITEL COMPANY WELL DONE
On point,people lose the concept of a target market.I use an S16pro,pretty affordable yet delivering!!
Uhh.. finally
I have been waiting for this P38 pro .
I love ITEL so much
I want to change my ITEL A56 to P38 pro
Can’t wait for it to be released……
I’m Always Using Itel Phone But Always They Are Producing New With Out Upgraded The Camera And Ram Why?
Please, how much is itel p38 pro
I don’t think vision 3plus is available for the Nigerian market.
Who buy itel p38 pro and how much did the phone cost, for me p38 pro is my choise
I swear I really need p38 I love it so much
I just bought it on Friday 22/July 2022 I love it but what I notice since then is I never experience 4g network on it always 3g
And I have check the settings and it’s on 4g auto
I even went to MTN office to upgrade my sim card but what I experienced is 3g
It might be the network in your area. Try changing it from 4G Auto mode to 4G Always, maybe that might help.
Itel company is doing the best,as for now. It have affordable products according to your budget
As long as the Giga RAM doesn’t exceed 2 , It is still very useless…
Can’t you just upgrade from 2GB RAM to at least 4 GB RAM and the GHz from 1. 3GHz to maybe 2.5GHz and see if people won’t rush your product….
For now, it’s still useless…
