ITEL Color Pro 5G is priced at Rs 9,999 in India. The phone has been launched in only 6GB RAM and 128GB storage configurations. It is available to buy two color variants – Lavendary Fantasy and River Blue.

It uses IVCO (Itel Vivid color) technology, which changes the color of its rear panel when the phone is taken in the sun. It includes a 50 -megapixel main rear camera. At the same time, there is an 8-megapixel shooter in the front. The Color Pro 5G has a 5000mAh capacity battery, which supports 18W fast charging. It works on MediaTek Dimensity 6080 SoC. RAM can be extended virtually up to 6GB. Storage can also be increased through microSD card. It currently comes with Android 13-based UI. The phone can be unlocked with side mounted fingerprint scanner.
Itel color pro 5G: design, display
Itel color pro 5G gets plastic build. The back panel is taxed, on which fingers do not appear. It has used a color -changing technology, which speaks itel IVCO (itel Vivid color). This technique converts the color of the back panel into pink color when sunlight or UV lights occur. Although this is not a practical feature, but its inclusion in such a low price is a good ad-on. It may not be lighter with 190 grams weight, but the work of sharing the weight is done well, due to which it does not feel much heavy in the hand. There is something similar with the same texture, where this slim appears with 8mm thickness.
The display has relatively coarse bezels and large chin below, but it was expected as a budget smartphone. The selfie camera is fitted inside the waterdrop-style notch. From the front, it seems a budget smartphone, but its design will give you the feel of mid-range device from behind. The frame also uses plastic materials, which has a power button with volume rockers, which is equipped with a fingerprint sensor to unlock the phone. The fingerprint was accurate and fast. The placement of all the buttons is correct, I did not have to struggle much to reach. The left site has a SIM tray, in which a microSD card can also be installed with two SIMs. The frame features a speaker grill with a type-C port, 3.5mm headphone jack, mike. Overall, I liked the design of it, given the price of Itel Color 5G. The phone looks strong with thin, light and does not give a feel of an affordable phone in the hand.
Its 6.6-inch screen size is large enough to see the content. However, here ITEL should have used FHD+ resolution instead of HD+. Nevertheless, in online content streaming I got the display performance above average. Somewhere I saw colors a little faded. Here you do not get the option to change color settings, but you can convert the color temperature into a cool or warm. The panel supports the refresh rate up to 90Hz, due to which smooth transitions are seen to scroll. Refresh rate settings also offer an auto adjust option with 60Hz, 90Hz, which automatically changes the refresh rate to 60Hz and 90Hz according to the content running on the screen. The peak brightness level of the Color Pro 5G display has not been given, but in my test I found that it did well in the indoor, but I had to struggle a little to see the content in the strong sunlight.
Itel color pro 5G: performance
In ITEL COLOR Pro 5G, you get a strong power of MediaTek Dimensity 6080 SoC in the budget price. Some popular mid-range smartphones in the chipset market are also found. This octa-core processor, built on 6Nm process, handles everyday tightly. The app loading was fast and no one was seen in the transition even when many apps are run together. It provides 6GB of physical RAM, which can be increased to 6GB virtually 6GB through memory fusion technology, after which you will have a total of 12GB RAM. I tested the phone without virtual RAM and during my entire testing I did not feel the need to use virtual RAM.
Color Pro 5G scored 739 in a single-core test in the Geekbench Test conducted by me and 2053 in multi-core test. At the same time, it obtained a score of 434365 in AnTuTu benchmark testing. Certainly, this is a good score for smartphones coming at a price of Rs 10,000. However, the score does not reflect the gaming performance of the smartphone. The color pro 5G is good for casual gaming, but as soon as I opened graphics intensive games like Call of Duty: Mobile and BGMI, the phone started struggling. Virtual RAM did not help me much here. Although both these games went comfortably in low settings, but many times I got to see heavy frame drops, which made the multiplayer shooting game over. However, I had no problem playing some graphics demanding games including Asphalt. The good thing is that even after about 1 hour of continuous gaming, the phone did not hesitate. Overall, the color pro 5G is not made for hardcore gamers, but if you are a casual gamer, it will not disappoint you.
Itel color pro 5G: camera
ITEL Color Pro 5G has a dual rear camera setup, which includes a 50-megapixel primary sensor and a 2-megapixel sensor for the second depth. It also has a quad LED flash in the back. The front for selfie and video calling contains an 8-megapixel sensor with dual LED flash.
In the daylight, the pictures of quality are captured above the average from the main sensor. Samples photos were sharp, but there was a lack of details on the background object. The good thing was that in the pictures taken in the day light, the color came to Natural, but here too I angry with the camera consistance. In some lighting conditions you may have to capture two to three shots to take a perfect picture. However, the photos were directly worth sharing on social media. At the same time, the performance of the dynamic range was a bit disappointing. In some shots, background overs were exposed, while the highlights were seen buried in some, but this happened sometimes. The camera tested the sides of the subject well, making most of the portrait shots found Boke Natural. Macro mode may be felt in the setup, but here the phone gets a 50MP camera mode, which captures photos in maximum resolution. I cropped these pictures and I got good macro shots with a slight shortage of details here.
The primary camera performs above average even in low light. In the indoor, noys appear in the viewfinder while taking pictures, but the noys were removed from the software processing after capturing the shot. However, many times the details from the picture were also wasted. Even in low-light, there was no dynamic range consistent in photographs. At the same time, colors in the pictures were also over saturated. However, low-light photos with basic editing agreed to go on Instagram.
If you are not happy with night shots on default mode or you are clicking pictures at some place filled with artificial light at night, you can use night mode, which increase the dynamic range, details and sharpness in photos Makes good improvement.

Selfies taken in the daylight were good. There was a natural tone on the face and there was no shortage of details. Edge detection in portrait mode was also accurate. At the same time, shots taken with artificial lights at night were also above average. If there is a decrease in the light, it replenishes the dual LED front present in it. Shots with flash can be improved to some extent. Although noys captured in the shots several times, most of the shots were good with the dynamic range. Night mode was not available in selfie.
A video can be recorded on maximum 2K 30fps from both front and rear camera sensors. The videos captured with day lights and indoor lights were average. There was no dearth of details in the video, but the shots were quite unstable. Along with the viewfinder, the video captured was also seen in the captured video.
Itel color pro 5G: software, battery
ITEL COLOR Pro 5G runs on Android 13 based on ITEL OS 13 Custom Skin. 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. However, disabled some apps also ended this problem. I was expecting it due to being a budget smartphone. 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.
ITEL Color Pro 5G provides a 5000mAh capacity battery unit. The phone lasted about one and a half days comfortably with everyday tasks including social media scrolling, calling and content streaming. However, in the budget segment, the competition is taken out about two days. In our HD video loop test, the color pro in full charge lasted about 17 hours 36 minutes, which is a performance above average. It provides 18W charging support and in the box you also get charging brick of this capacity. With this, the phone was charged in 30 minutes in 30 minutes, 75 percent in one hour and 100 percent in 1 hour 47 minutes.
Itel color pro 5g: Should you buy it?
Itel color pro 5g There is a good contender in this segment at a price of Rs 9,999. In terms of design, its color chaseing panel stands slightly different from the rivals. It also met all my tests in terms of performance. Its big display is good for watching OTT content. At the same time, the camera setup is good for daylight photography. However, the battery backup disappointed me a little. If you like some good touch in the design out of the league or you are looking for a better option for entertainment, Itel Color Pro 5G can play you. However, if you look for a better camera phone and at the same time you like to see the content without earphones, then you can also look at the recently launched Itel S24.
