<a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/market/itel-s23-22-20230608161024425383/">Itel S23</a>, has stood the test of time, remaining the most popular itel smartphone in Zimbabwe more than a year after <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/2023/06/08/itel-s23-released-in-zimbabwe-128gb-8gb-50-megapixel-camera-5000-mah-battery-price-in-zimbabwe-119/">its release</a>.
The budget smartphone broke with tradition including more features for higher value phones, such as a 50 Megapixel camera, at a time when smartphones in the $100 bracket had 13 Megapixel cameras.
A <a href="https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=2024-01-01%202024-10-08&amp;geo=ZW&amp;q=itel&amp;hl=en-GB">check on search interest tracking platform Google Trends</a>, shows that the S23 beats all newer itel smartphones in popularity. it has maintained uniform interest throughout the year, despite the release more newer and more capable itel smartphones such as its successor the <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/market/itel-s24-128gb-22-20240426142756795795/">itel S24</a>.

Outside the S series, there was also the release of the P65, the RS4 this year. All these phones are yet to make a dent in the S23’s popularity.
The higher end version of the phone, the <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/market/itel-s23-128gb-8gb-22-202309191821613094/">itel S23+</a> also remains extremely albeit at a lower level than the standard version. 
<h2>What about itel A70?</h2>
Following the release of the S23, the itel A70 also broke records by being the <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/2024/01/23/itel-a70-with-256gb-now-available-in-zimbabwe-or-less-than-100/">first smartphone in Zimbabwe phone to have 256GB and still be less than $100</a>. That record is yet to be beaten, and that has also made the A70 relatively more popular than its successor. Still, it’s not as popular as the S23.
At the end the S23 is a more capable device on many other fronts compared to the itel A70. 
<h2>Reduction in price</h2>
As with all phones after release, the price has continued to go down as newer phones are released. From a about $120 at release, the itel S23 now ranges below $100.
This affordability contributes to its popularity. While the prices of other phones have reduced slowly, the reduction in price for the S23 has been drastic. Even though it’s a more power phone, it’s now priced less than the itel A70.

A Comparison Of Tecno Pop 8, Itel A70, And Itel S23+: Which Phone Offers The Best Features?

itel A70 is very popular on the Pindula market right now – especially <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/market/itel-a70-256gb-4gb-22-2024012310464519631/">the 256GB version which goes for $99</a>. See, it’s the first phone of a notable brand to have so much storage and still go for less than $100.
In this article we answer common questions about the itel A70.
<h2>Why so much storage at such a price?</h2>
So itel brand is about affordability. This means the company tries very much to reduce the prices while still offering a strong backup for the phones – the 12 months warranty.
Generally in technology, prices keep coming down and itel simply passes these prices down to customers.
A70 was the first phone to break this $100 barrier with 256GB storage. But expect even more phones to come out this year with such a price and storage. Even other brands like Redmi.
<h2>Still this price is too low mhani!</h2>
As much as you think the price is low in Zimbabwe, it’s actually lower in other markets like Nigeria. This phone is going for less than $70 in Nigeria.
<h2>Why is this phone cheaper than those with 128GB storage.</h2>
Yes, other itel phones with less storage are going for much more.
<a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/market/itel-p40-plus-22-20230611105441250523/">itel P40+</a> which has 128GB storage is going for $114
<a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/market/itel-s23-128gb-8gb-22-202309191821613094/">S23+ curved screen</a> which is has 128GB is going for $164
And the <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/2024/01/05/itel-p55-p55-and-p55-5g-now-available-in-zimbabwe-starting-at-119/">recently released</a> <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/market/itel-power-55-p55-128gb-8gb-22-2023122714513826305/">itel P55</a> which also has 128GB is going for $119
See, a phone’s ability is more than just storage and RAM. The processor (moyo wefoni) is the more important than storage and ram.
The processor in the A70 is a Unisoc T603. But processor names are meaningless without saying how it compares to the processors in the other phones. So, compared to the processors in the more expensive itel phones such as the P40+, S23 and P55, this is a slower one.
Besides the processor, there are also other specs to consider when buying a phone: the battery size, the camera quality, the display quality, the operating system.
Without going into too much detail, processor aside:
<ul>
<li>The P40+ has a bigger battery (7000mAh) compared to the A70. It also has a bigger and brighter display, and a better Android version.</li>
<li>The S23+ has a beautiful curved screen, a bigger screen size and a more advanced camera system</li>
<li>The P55 also has a much more advanced camera system, and brighter display</li>
</ul>
If you can afford the more expensive phone, even with 128GB storage, it’s a much more powerful phone than the A70. Which brings us to…
<h2>Who is the ideal person for the itel A70</h2>
Everyone. Really, it depends on the situation.
It’s the right phone for you if you:
<ul>
<li>want a phone below $100 but still want lots of storage, very good RAM, and good speed to run your WhatsApp, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok etc…</li>
<li>need a second phone for other things – maybe you want a different WhatsApp line on a different phone. Or a different phone for work WhatsApp and calls….</li>
<li>are a small business and want a “reception” phone to just take general business calls and WhatsApp conversations.</li>
<li>want to buy a phone for your mother or father, whom you know don’t spend too much time on their phone but you still want to reach them on WhatsApp. </li>
<li>need to buy a phone for your child who is less than 13 years old (the kind of age where you can reset it anytime to start afresh.)</li>
<li>got your phone stolen, or it broke and need a quick replacement what will cover all the basics</li>
</ul>
It’s the wrong phone for you if:
<ul>
<li>You use your phone a lot for productive tasks.. like attending to 50+ work WhatsApp groups, answering +50 calls a day, storing lots of work documents. The processor is just not designed for that. The battery will not last the whole day on heavy usage. <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/market/itel-p40-plus-22-20230611105441250523/">Go for  the P40+ instead</a></li>
<li>Photography is extremely important to you. You want to take lots of nice pictures and share them. The camera is not advanced enough for this. Consider the S23, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/market/tecno-spark-20-128gb-8gb-22-2024020616716693297/">Tecno Spark 20</a> and P55 instead.</li>
<li>You want to play lots of advanced games on your phone. It will not be powerful enough and this may drain your battery. <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/market/itel-p55-5g-128gb-12gb-22-20240105145741511085/">itel P55 5G which is $144 is probably what you’re looking for</a></li>
<li>You want a battery that lasts 3 days. <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/market/itel-p40-plus-22-20230611105441250523/">Go for the P40+for that</a></li>
</ul>

Itel A70 256GB: Common Questions Answered. Price, Why So Much Storage and RAM

Pindula Market new product announcement.
<a href="http://ite.co.zw/">itel</a> is redefining smartphone affordability with the itel A70. The <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/market/itel-a70-256gb-4gb-22-2024012310464519631/">new 256GB version</a> of the phone is going for less than $100.

So our friend at Techzim and one of the most eminent reviewers of tech in Zimbabwe, Edwin Chabuka, just posted his <a href="https://www.techzim.co.zw/2023/12/itel-a70-review-so-much-hype-around-this-89-smartphone/">review of the most recently release itel phone, the A70</a>.
We post a quotes summary of his opinions about the phone, having taken it through the paces for a week.
<h2>Nails the Essentials:</h2>
<blockquote>
As a package, the <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/market/itel-a70-128gb-3gb-22-20231121123027230027/">Itel A70</a> nails the essentials. I mean look, it’s US$89 so you need to manage your expectations here. It’s not going to be a spec fest in any sort of way. They nailed storage with the base model starting off with 3GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage all the way to the top-spec 4GB RAM and 256GB of storage.
</blockquote>
<h2>Storage and Demographics</h2>
<blockquote>
In a roundabout way, I am saying a base storage of 128GB on the <a href="https://itel.co.zw/p55-5g">Itel</a> A70 is very generous. And also very necessary because one of the demographics this phone is finding massive traction is the youngest of youth in primary school who are starting their smartphone ownership journey. And we all know no one is more media-heavy in their smartphone usage than those little kids.
</blockquote>
<h2>The second camera is a gimmick</h2>
We love itel ofcourse, but yes – the second (or 3rd, 4th etc..) camera is just a gimmick.
<blockquote>
On the Itel A70 you have a selfie flash-assisted 8MP front camera and a dual flash-assisted 13MP rear camera. It might look like there are 2 cameras on the back of the Itel A70 but the second one is just for looks.
</blockquote>
<h2>Selfie camera better than the main one?</h2>
<blockquote>
The selfie camera is very capable as we have come to expect from Itel devices. It almost feels like they spent more money putting on a higher-quality selfie camera and going for an average rear camera. It takes very clear selfies with better sharpness and detail than the rear main camera and lower noise level in challenging lighting. It’s a really decent selfie camera.
</blockquote>
 
<h2>It’s a cheap chipset</h2>
<blockquote>
The cheaper chipset was giving off a hint of lag when using the phone which is not that bad once you adapt to it. But it is there whenever you are navigating the UI or when the keyboard is summoned. It’s also limiting the camera’s performance in more challenging lighting scenarios. 
</blockquote>
 
<h2>Buy it if:</h2>
<blockquote>
This one is targeting these sort of people: 
-First-time smartphone users
-Smartphone users with low demands like just calls and very light social media
-Business individuals looking for a cheap work phone with a good battery and can do basic social media.
