Itel A80 VS Itel A70

When it comes to performance, itel A80 is powered with Android 14 OS together with T603 Octa-core LTE Chipset while the A70 comes with Android 13 OS and T603 Octa-core processor. The 4GB RAM version of the A80 camera is better with 50 MP dual rear camera and 8MP front camera compared to 13MP dual rear camera and 8MP front camera that the A70 offers.

Both phones' batteries have the same 5000 mAh battery capacity. They also support 4G LTE network with side-mounted fingerprint sensor.

Itel A80 Review

Let go deeper to find out more about the itel A80 features and functionalities.

Design and Build Quality

The Itel A80 comes with a sleek design that feels solid in hand, despite its budget-friendly pricing. The device has a plastic back with a matte finish, which helps reduce fingerprint smudges. Its rounded edges and lightweight build make it comfortable to hold, even for extended periods. Itel offers the A80 in multiple color options, including a Sandstone Black, Glacier White, and Wave Blue, adding a bit of personality to the phone.

The back panel houses the camera module and the LED flash, a welcome feature at this price point. The front of the phone is dominated by a 6.7-inch punch-hole display, which is surrounded by minimal bezels.

Display

Itel A80 is equipped with a 6.7-inch IPS LCD with a resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels with 120Hz screen reflash rate. While this may not compare with the higher-end smartphones in terms of sharpness and clarity, it does a good job for basic usage like browsing the web, watching videos, and using social media. The color reproduction is average, and brightness levels are sufficient for indoor usage.

Performance

The Itel A80 is powered by T603 Octa-core LTE Chipset processor clocked at 1.5 GHz and paired with 3/4GB of RAM that can be extended to 8GB RAM with the help of memory fusion technology. This hardware is suitable for average tasks such as making calls, texting, social media, gaming, and basic apps usage. However, multitasking and running resource-intensive applications may cause noticeable slowdowns or stuttering.

For storage, the device comes with 128GB of internal memory, which can be expanded via a microSD card. The inclusion of expandable storage is a plus since the base storage may quickly fill up, especially if you download many apps or take photos regularly. In terms of software, the A80 runs on Android 14, which is optimized to perform better and ensures a smoother experience.

Camera

Itel A80 sports a dual-camera setup on the back with an 50/13MP main sensor and a secondary VGA depth sensor for portrait shots. While this setup sounds promising, the actual image quality is average at best. In well-lit environments, the camera captures decent photos with fair detail and color accuracy. However, in low-light conditions, the camera struggles with noise and a lack of detail.

The front-facing 8MP selfie camera is suitable for casual selfies and video calls. Again, it works well in good lighting, but don't expect high-quality images in dim environments.

Battery Life

One of the strengths of the Itel A80 is its battery life. The device is powered by a 5000mAh battery, which, combined with the power-efficient Android 14 software and the modest specs, can easily last a full day of use on a single charge. Whether you’re browsing, texting, or watching videos, the phone holds up well throughout the day, making it a great choice for users who prioritize long battery life.

Unfortunately, the phone offers lower 10W fast-charging capabilities, so recharging the large battery can take some time.

Other Features

Fingerprint Sensor: The side-mounted fingerprint sensor works reliably and adds an extra layer of security
Face Unlock: Itel also includes face unlock, though it is slower compared to fingerprint unlocking.
Connectivity: The Itel A80 supports 4G LTE networks, which is a great but not better when compared to more modern 5G smartphones.

Pros and Cons

Pros:

• Affordable price
• Long-lasting 5000mAh battery
• Clean design with a comfortable grip
• Android 14 optimized to perform better
• Side-mounted fingerprint sensor

Cons:

• Average camera quality, especially in low light
• Slow charging

Finally, the Itel A80 is designed for mid-range and entry-level users who need a smartphone for basic tasks like calls, messaging, and light app usage. It offers solid battery life and a decent design for its price, but it does come with compromises in areas like performance, camera quality, and display resolution. For users looking for an affordable, no-frills smartphone, the Itel A80 delivers on the essentials without breaking the bank. However, those who require more speed, better cameras, or 5G connectivity might want to explore slightly higher-priced alternatives.
