itel’s leadership position in the feature phone segment is well-known and well-deserved. Over the years, the brand has touched many milestones in this niche, reinstating its successful endeavor across the world driven mainly by its unique yet affordable product portfolio, and a customer-centric business approach.
Taking the success story ahead, the brand has now forayed into the low-budget smartphone market- aiming to make smartphone technology affordable and accessible to all. While the first itel smartphone (S42) was launched in 2017, it was in 2020 when we see itel establishing itself as a sought-after smartphone manufacturer. This year the company launched plenty of stylish smartphones – across multiple series, all with trendy specs and beautiful designs. And what makes them more desirable is the fact that they are available at an affordable bracket of price.
Here in this article, we give you a rundown of the itel new phones in 2020, along with their key specifications.
itel A36
A fine blend of style and solidness is what this itel A36 smartphone brought in when it was launched in April 2020 - that too without breaking your bank. It has a slim full-screen design, accentuated by a 5.5-inch HD display that offers a good visual experience. But what really catches the attention is its 8-function fingerprint (a rare feature in this price segment). Along with offering solid security, itel A36 fingerprint sensor lets you click pictures, unlock apps, and record videos. The performance is handled by a fairly fast and powerful SC7731E Quad-core 1.3GHz processor. The 3020 mAh high-density lithium battery provides you plenty of hours of enjoying movies, games, and normal usage before you have to re-charge it.

With an 8.6mm Ultra Slim Unibody Design, 6.5” HD+ Waterdrop FullScreen display, a mammoth 5000 mAh battery, itel P36 offers everything you may expect from a budget-friendly smartphone. P36 is the first member of itel P36 series, and was launched in April 2020. The device garners massive popularity both for its performance and appearance. It runs on Android 10, while the processing is powered by Quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7. For photography, P36 has an 8MP rear camera with Panorama, HDR, and flash LED features.

itel A56 Pro
You can call it an enhanced version of A56. While the design and look are virtually the same, A56 has got the augmentation in form of a bigger RAM and more internal storage. The rest is more or less the same.
Both are powered by Quad-core Spreadtrum SC7731E processor, and come with the same non-removable 4000 mAh battery. But in A 56 Pro, the RAM size is 2GB, while internal storage is 32GB, which you can expand up to 64GB through microSD Card. The camera quality is decent, to say the least. Its dual-camera set-up at the back contains one 8-MP (main) camera along with a 0.3-MP secondary lens. For selfies, the phone has a 5-MP camera that also supports a single LED flash.
itel A25 Pro
This is yet another good phone from itel launched for people on a small budget. It comes with a 3020 mAh battery, and a nice 5.0 inches HD IPS Display with a resolution of 1280 x 720 Pixels. A fast and efficient 4G connectivity means you can enjoy shows and movies on it. Other highlighted features include Face unlock, VoLTE feature, and 5MP camera. Offering 2GB RAM and 32 GB internal storage in this price range, itel really seems to be going above and beyond to create the best budget smartphone it could.
itel A48
Flaunting a beautiful design and many segment-first features, itel A48 is easily one of the best itel smartphones in 2020. To begin with, the phone has a 6.1-inch HD+ IPS Waterdrop full-screen display with in-cell technology- something you’re unlikely to get in this price segment. Besides, it is powered by a 1.4GHz quad-core processor, and supports 2GB RAM and 32GB ROM. The battery size is 3000mAh battery, while in security features you have both Face Unlock and a fingerprint sensor. Undoubtedly, itel A48 is a good-value-for-money device that people were long waiting in this price bracket.
itel A23 2020
This one basic yet beautiful. The device is powered by a 1.4GHz Quad processor and runs on a faster Android Go OS. 1 GB of RAM seems to be ample to contain your files and apps which you should ideally have in a low-budget device. Speaking of the specs, A23 comes with a bright 5-inch FWVGA Display display, 2400 mAh Li-ion Battery, Face Unlock Security feature, and a 2MP rear camera with flash and beauty Mode.
itel P36 Play
Camera phones are a trend these days. And itel’s P36 Play seems to be launched keeping this vogue in mind. It has a dual 8MP rear camera supporting many latest features that you often get to see in high-end phones. There’s digital zoom, HDR, and autofocus to help you click stylish and detail-rich pictures. Panorama mode will come in handy when you need to capture landscapes or skylines.

Coming to the screen, another notable feature of itel P36 Play, it is 6.0-inch in size and comes protected with Scratch-resistant glass. The screen resolution is 720 x 1560 Pixels, promising a pleasing visual experience. Its 4000 mAh, Li-polymer battery is good enough to keep it functioning for hours, even when you binge movies or games on its HD screen.
