Itel A60 Is A Complete Waste Of Time And Money Here Is Why by deviceteck: 7:29pm On Feb 24, 2023
The first thing Itel wants you to know about this phone is that it is cheap. With only 46k Naira, you can access a 4G device with a wide 6.6 inches screen that is "clear for watching movies."

At first, I thought this was a big win for Itel. After all, Tecno Pop 7 Pro is sold for only 65k Naira, yet the specs are astounding, especially the type-C port feature. This led me to pressure my boss to get the A60 ASAP so I can get done with the review video. After reviewing it, this is what I found

SPEED: From the very first time I turned the on, it keeps lagging. To open an app is a problem Tap on the camera and it will delay before it will open. Scrolling is not smooth as well.

GAMING: This is yest another problem. I installed Need For Speed from play store and it took 2 minutes and 30 seconds just to luanch. The rest of the story is lagging, overheating and underperformance.

CAMERA: This is the obviouse one. The 8MP camera at the back is not as expected. Itel S18 Pro has the same spec camera but way more clearer.

Itel should be ban, they are know for substandard & low quality phone, all in the name of producing cheap phone, they end scamming the public, even if all these phone are selling for 20K, it's a scam because you won't enjoy the phone

I used an Itel Smartphone, which only fell once and the screen was affected

That was the end for me, return back to My Nokia.....strong and reliable, able to withstand multiple drops as well
Itel is low quality, substandard

I can only feel intimidated if and only if the white man can speak or write perfect Itsekiri.

I want to get a low end Android as a second device for making calls and sometimes as Glo hotpost in case Airtel mifi fail me. I was considering this, I think itel phones lag a lot because they still use Unisoc chip as CPU.

I have decided to go for Redmi A1 plus, it's a little more expensive but I think it's better.

Also I don't feel like buying any of them cox they are both expensive, low end phones used to be 20 to 25k back in the days

Your best bet for this price range is pop 7 pro not A1 plus

I share the same opinion with you here also.

Back then,budget phones are usually around 20-28k range,now everything is going absurd.

I also considered getting this Itel,but I'm already changing my mind. A seller told me it #48,500 in his store this evening,i weak.

I just saw my homie download an 850mb movie within 6 minutes on her a60 itel bout 2 hours ago. For a go edition 2gig phone i tink it isn't bad. OP may have exagerated too much. Itel phones are easily servicable.

Don't be surprised, my friend.

This is due to something commonly referred to as "inflation".

And since Tinubu has been chosen as the next president; I won't be surprised if said phone ends up being sold for ₦70,000+.

Pity.

Op, you too dey exaggerate about Itel unreliability.

Itel stuff might be cheap, but they last long and their battery never disappoints too.
I have a P33 plus that I've been using since 2019. It fell inside a drum of water one day, but guess what? After turning it off quickly and sucking out the water, I left it to dry. Then I turned it on the next day.

This happened in April 2021 and the phone is still going on strong today.

Same issues until you upgrade the ram from your settings. The slow response to every thing you do on the phone is because of low Ram e.g 1GB ram
