itel is attempting to shift its brand perception from a strictly budget-focused manufacturer to a provider of higher-quality hardware. The company aims to demonstrate that its accessible price points do not require compromises in performance, durability, or software experience. As part of this strategy, itel has introduced devices with improved specifications, such as the CITY 100, which features enhanced displays and battery life. This effort continued with the launch of the A300C, a rugged smartphone featuring military-grade certification, an octa-core chipset, and a 6,000mAh battery, targeting value-seeking consumers who require durability. Recent expansions of the budget lineup include the A300+ and the A300C, tailored to specific regional markets. In Indonesia, the A300+ features a unique 2.01-inch rear display intended to assist with selfies by providing a preview when using the 13MP rear camera; this secondary screen also serves as a clock, notification display, and music controller. The A300+ is equipped with a 7,000mAh battery and supports up to 22.5W charging. In Uganda, the A300C emphasizes durability and battery life. Running on Android 16 (Go Edition), the device holds MIL-STD-810H certification, allowing it to withstand drops of up to 1.8 metres. It features a 6.56-inch IPS LCD display with a 90Hz refresh rate and is designed for essential tasks such as social media and communication. Expanding its technological reach, itel has launched the City 300 5G in India. This budget-friendly device features a 6.67-inch HD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate and is powered by a Unisoc T8200 octa-core 6nm processor. Running on Android 16 Go Edition, the smartphone supports 10 5G bands using NRCA technology and includes an ‘UltraLink’ feature for calling connectivity. It is equipped with a 5,000mAh battery and a 13-megapixel autofocus rear camera.
