Itel A48 Features, Specifications, and Price in Kenya

Product Description

Body, Design, and Display

Weighing about 182g, the Itel A48 is a low-budget smartphone with a twin SIM tray and a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner.  A 6.1-inch IPS LCD is good enough for browsing the internet, social media chats, and basic call functions. At 720*1600p resolution and default refresh rate, it does not provide one of the best viewing experiences, compared to other more capable handsets.

Performance

It comes installed with Android 10 (Go edition) OS, which is suitable for light phone operations. It is powered by a Unisoc SC9832E (28nm) chipset, integrated with a Quad-core 1.4 GHz CPU and Mali-T820 MP1 GPU. Anchored by 32GB and 2GB RAM, besides microSD, all these features on Itel A48 show a low-performance device not well suited for intensive use. But it smoothly carries out basic tasks.

Itel A48 Cameras

The handset comes installed with a 5MP selfie camera that provides a wider viewing angle. The main camera on Itel A48 is fitted with a 5MP + 0.08MP, which is still basic, capturing low-quality pictures and videos.

Battery

For a moderate user, the 3,000mAh non-removable battery is sufficient to al last a day or two. However, the 3000mAh battery is pretty low, and the lack of fast charging does not help.

• It does not have a fast charger and may take a long time to fully charge.
• Itel A48 runs on Android 10 (Go edition), which is a stripped-down version of Android that may not support some apps and features.
• A low internal memory of 32GB may not be enough for storing many photos, videos, and apps.
• It does not have NFC, which is a feature that allows wireless payments and data transfer.
• Low screen resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels and a low pixel density of 288 PPI, which may affect the sharpness and clarity of the display.

Verdict

Itel A48 is a low-cost smartphone that offers some basic features and functions. It suits basic uses such as calling, texting, and browsing the web. However, it may not be the best choice for users who want a high-performance device for gaming, photography, or multitasking. Specifically, it has a poor processor, a low-resolution display, limited storage, and an outdated operating system. The camera setup is pretty below average and the battery performs below expectations on a smartphone. Thus, it could be argued that Itel A48 is a below-average smartphone that may not meet the expectations of many users, but could suit your calling, texting, or browsing needs if you are on a tight budget.
