itel, the Indian smartphone OEM launches a new entry-level Android smartphone with selfie centric features in India for INR 5,999. The itel S21 is the newest addition to the S series, which offers awesome features at an affordable pricing.

Smartphone OME’s like Sony, Nokia, Samsung should learn something from these manufacturers. At the price tag of INR 5,999 having a metal unibody design with a fingerprint scanner is always a welcome move. In fact, this is one of the cheapest Android smartphones that offers fingerprint scanner.

So, let look at the technical specifications of the same. The itel S21 is equipped with a 5.0-inch IPS LCD screen, protected by 2.5D curved tempered glass on the top. Under the display, the device is powered by an entry-level MediaTek Quad-core SoC, paired with 1 GB LPDDR3 RAM and 16 GB onboard flash storage with a dedicated micro SD card slot (up to 32 GB). With respect to connectivity, the device offers dual GSM SIM card slots with 4G VoLte and ViLte capability on both the slots. Other standard features like WiFi, WiFi Hotspot and Bluetooth are also present.

Coming to the camera capability, the device offers a dual selfie camera setup with a 2 MP and a 5 MP camera combination. For the main camera, the device uses an 8 MP shooter with Autofocus and face detection out of the box. Considering the price tag, don’t expect these cameras to perform well under the normal lightening condition.

The device runs on Android Nougat 7.0 with custom UI on the top, which enables the features like using dual social networking apps like WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook out of the box. Coming to the battery capability, the device offers a standard 2700 mAh Li-ion battery with normal charging capability (non-user replaceable).

Here is the official product statement from Sudhir Kumar, CEO, itel & Spice Devices:

“S21, like other products in our smartphone portfolio is a masterpiece. We have focussed extensively on building market disrupting technologies and developing out-of-the-box innovations, and S21 is yet another example of our excellence in delivering aspirational value to our consumers.”
