Single 8GB RAM of ITEL S24 + 128GB storage variants for Rs 9,999 Launch Was done. It comes in Don White and Stary Black color option and I got its white color variant. Its boxes provide charging brick (18W), charging cable, a TPU case and user manual with handsets. The quality of the transparent case was above average, but certainly it is likely to turn yellow over time. ITEL is also promising one time free screen replacement (within 100 days) with this phone.
Well, I start with the features without delay. At this price, my focus was first drawn by its color changing panel, which turns from white to pink color when sunlight or UV lights fall. Certainly it is not a practical feature, but its involvement in such a low price is a good ed-on. The panel looks like a glass finish, but in reality it is made of polycarbonate. It may not be lighter with 192 grams weight, but the work of distributing the weight into the body has been done well, due to which it does not feel much heavy in the hand. Something similar is also with the texture, where the smartphone with 8.3 mm thickness is relatively thick, but it seems thinner due to the display emerged above the thin frame.
As we mentioned above, Itel s23 Compared to ITEL has made several changes in the new handset. The new model offers a large circular camera island on the back panel, around which a golden color ring is present. At the same time, Hole-Panch Cutout has been included for the selfie camera on the display at the front. The right site of a plastic frame with metal finish has a power button, which is equipped with a fingerprint sensor to unlock the phone. Just above it is volume rockers. Placement is the right place, I did not have to struggle much to reach. A SIM tray is found in the left site, in which a microSD card can also be installed with two SIMs. The frame features a speaker grill with a bottom type-C port, 3.5 mm headphone jack, mike and another small speaker grill at the top. The presence of dual speakers in this price is also a good add-on.
Itel S24 runs on the custom skin based on Android 13. In the first boot, I get to see plenty of blots in it, most of which could have been removed. In the use of a while, I was spam by native apps with notifications. If you are already a smartphone user, then there is nothing new for you in UI and if you switch to another smartphone, you will not take much time to adopt its UI.
The ITEL S24 has a 6.6-inch HD+ (720 x 1,612 pixels) IPS display, which supports 90Hz refresh rates. The company claims that the panel supports the peak brightness level of 480 NITs. The presence of the AMOLED panel here would have been charged in the display quality, but in this price it cannot be taken as a complaint. During my use of some time, I found that the display performs well in indoor usage. The colors in the content were vivid and brightness was also sufficient. However, there was some difficulty in seeing the content in the event of direct sunlight on the display. It also has a ‘dynamic bar’ feature, which is the same as the dynamic island of the iPhone, but with a big difference in functionality. In ITEL S24, this feature shows you basic notification around the selfie camera and shows animation when unlocking the phone.
In s23 Present Instead of the UNISOC T603 processor, Itel has upgraded S24 with a more powerful MediaTek Helio G91 chipset. The chipset was launched in February this year. The new chipset on 12Nm process claims budget gaming. However, I did not test its gaming capacity due to short time with the phone. It provides 8GB of RAM, which can be increased virtually 8GB through memory fusion technology, after which you will have a total of 16GB RAM. The phone without virtual RAM enabled, carried out tasks such as basic scrolling, app loading and switching between apps without any trouble. Some heavy apps took a little longer to load. However, the correct capacity of the chipset can only be detected by passing through all kinds of usage.
Another biggest feature of ITEL S24 is the 108-megapixel Samsung HM6 isocell sensor with the Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) support present in it. It affects its current in the category of Rs 10,000. Although I did not get much opportunity to play with the camera, but in the day I took some pictures, which were directly worth sharing on social media. The second camera in the dual camera unit is QVGA depth sensor. At the same time, there is an 8-megapixel selfie shooter in the front, who gave some good selfie in the day, but the performance was not consistent. Videos from both rear and front camera can be recorded up to 2K resolution on 30fps.
The camera app was simple and easy to use. On the main screen of the app, options like AI CAM, Video, Portrait, Super Night and other options can be accessed through more. I did not see any kind of shutter leg in it. The camera also supports features like Pro mode, document scanner, slow motion, time-laps, dual videos.
The ITEL S24 has a 5000mAh battery, which supports 18W charging. The charging brick is found in the box. Although I did not pass the battery with testing, but with normal usage it should be taken out in full charge. In addition, this battery with 18W charging output should also take more than 2 hours to get full charge.
overall, Itel S24 The smartphone has the power to stand apart in the competition with a price of Rs 9,999. The phone has all that we expect from a smartphone of this price. The color-changing panels in this price, 108-megapixel camera, dual speakers and attractive designs were some elements that have been missed by many models of the competition. Certainly I had spent very little time with this phone, so it should also be kept in mind that there is a possibility of changing conditions in long-term usage.
