Itel is a brand name that comes quite a lot in the budget smartphone space and now there’s a new model that’s up for grabs for an affordable ask. The Itel A80 is the successor to the A70 smartphone and brings a host of improvements from a faster display to a more capable camera system. In this article, we’ll briefly touch on the features and specifications of the item A80 alongside its price in Nepal and availability. 

Itel A80 Overview 

Design and Display 

Despite being a budget phone, the Itel A80 looks quite presentable with its shimmery back and rounded corners. The smartphone is available in ‘Wave Blue’, ‘Glacial White’, and ‘Sandstone Black color options all of which have some sort of gradient going for them. The Blue looks the most intriguing to me with its radial lines and wavy aesthetics but the other two look just as good too. Itel A80 also sports an IP54 dust and water rating against debris and splashes.  In terms of the display, you are getting an expansive 6.7-inch IPS screen that’s slightly larger than its predecessor. Though the resolution is still stuck at just 720p, there’s a big boost in refresh rate from a mere 60Hz to a smooth 120Hz which should provide noticeable improvement in terms of UI fluidity and responsiveness. The waterdrop notch is also replaced with a modern-looking hole punch but the brightness level is still capped at 500 nits. 

Performance and Memory 

Powering the A80 is the same chip Itel used in its predecessor. It’s the Unisoc T603 with eight ARM A55 cores running at up to 1.8GHz.  There’s not much information available online about the chip itself but Itel promises a “3 years lag-free” experience on the A80. Although we are not exactly sure what that means, the phone should handle your day-to-day activities like calls, texts, web browsing, and streaming just fine.  There’s only a sole 4/128GB variant available in Nepal and you can use 4GB of your storage for up to a total of 8GB Extended RAM (4GB physical + 4 GB virtual). There’s also an SD card slot that can help you store your photos and videos up to a capacity of 2TB. The smartphone ships with Android 14 with Itel OS 14 on top. 

Camera and Battery 

There’s also a big improvement when it comes to the cameras as the A80 features a 50MP main shooter over the 13MP one in the A70. The secondary lens is just a 0.08MP auxiliary as usual but the look is more refined now accompanied by a ‘unique ring light’. Over on the front, you get a similar 8MP selfie cam, now housed inside the hole-punch instead of a waterdrop notch.
