Price, specifications, pros and cons (itel a100c)

What Are the Pros and Cons of the itel A100C?

Pros

• A very budget price with a durable design: it comes at around $113 (Rs. 9,999 in India), with a MIL-STD-810H military certification and drop resistance up to 1.2 meters.
• A high refresh rate display that is rare in the class: a 6.6-inch IPS LCD panel with a 90Hz refresh rate, 720 x 1612 resolution at 267 ppi density, and 400 nits of brightness.
• Practical perks: a 3.5mm headphone jack, an infrared blaster for controlling appliances, a fast side-mounted fingerprint scanner, support for a microSD card for storage expansion, and a 5000mAh battery.
• A lightweight OS: it runs Android 15 (Go edition) with the itel OS 15 interface, optimized for low-resource phones.

Cons

• Screen resolution is low: just 720 x 1612 pixels, and it is an IPS LCD rather than AMOLED, with reviewers noting that a bit more brightness would have been welcome under harsh sunlight.
• A very basic camera: a single 8MP rear camera with no ultrawide or optical zoom, and video up to 1080p, plus a 5MP front camera.
• 4G-only with no NFC: it supports only GSM, HSPA, and LTE with no 5G, and NFC is missing. The chipset is entry-level, the Unisoc T7100, which may heat slightly on long sessions.
• No official screen protection and no water resistance: reviewers noted there is no Gorilla Glass or official scratch protection, and no IP rating for water or dust resistance. Charging is also modest at 15W.
