Itel P33 double amazing features

Itel mobile was and still a stronghold in the feature phones jungle, but from the time the company dived into the smartphones craze, it’s phones have always shipped awesome features time and time again. The P33 is one of those smartphones packed with the industry standard AI mainly lying in the face unlock mechanism and new battery optimization tweaks. Though, its another Android Go release, here are some of the notable catchy features it ships.

Double quality rear cameras

Believe it or not, smartphones now come with 2 or more cameras and this means double quality for all pictures taken. The P33 is one of those devices that have not missed the wagon the same way its predecessor teased the same looks. So, among the excellent features pimped to this release, double rear lenses prove a point towards capturing great quality pictures on a smartphone.

More Security with Face unlock and a fingerprint sensor

Talk about Smartphone AI and listen to how facial recognition has altered screen locks for good. Face unlock allows you to unlock your phone without inserting your pin or flipping your finger to the back sensor, but instead, blink in front of the phone to unlock it. As a fact, this feature makes the Itel P33 an amazing budget-friendly smartphone to cruise with.

The 80 hours uptime Big battery

80 hours of uptime on a smartphone lasting on a single charge! Yes, that’s what the P33 delivers from an optimal suite craving on AI optimization tweaks. The 4000mAh battery is further able to charge other smartphones with OTG support making it a big vote up of the Itel P33 which is much affordable than we actually thought.

The Itel P33 price tag and where to buy from

At only UGX 250,000, a brand new shiny sealed Itel P33 becomes your comfortable companion with an AI optimized 4000mAh battery capable of pushing you for 80 hours on 1 single charge. To buy a brand new Itel P33, ride to any online shopping platform like Jumia which trails as the best followed by Kikuu and a returning Kilimall.

Either way, you can buy also find the Itel P33 in all Itel branded shops countrywide with major stakes in strong towns/cities, or else popular shops like Dondolo and VIP Itel mobile shops in Kampala too retail the device with its original looks on the market. Nevertheless, the P33 might not be an A series entrant, but it’s an affordable big battery companion you can buy on a budget below $100.

As a fact, we think the Itel P33 is one of those amazing smartphones you can consider in 2019 due to its big battery status, and now that we received a charcoal black copy of this amazing release on our review desk, here is a shot of what you should expect in the box.

Unboxing the Itel P33

Just like any other boxed smartphone, the Itel P33 box contents are no way phenomenal to what we expected. In fact, its the same charging brick, USB cable, headsets, and the device. However, you can’t fail to notice the well-craved box that houses the 80 hours battery life smartphone.

Box Contents:

• The Itel P33 itself
• USB Cable
• Charging brick
• Headsets
• Plastic back cover

  

Amazingly, a free phone cover comes pimped in the device box which doubles as a signal of protecting the device from accidental falls or scratches damaging its rear end. As a sealed box comes with a peelable phone cover as well, here is how our first touch to the device impressed with a charming smile to its price tag.

Itel P33 First Impressions

Though Itel mobile has not teased us with a top-notch display yet at a time when Tecno mobile could be cooking a foldable smartphone with Boom X flares, It’s latest P release is another duo camera release teasing more detail in all pictures taken. From the design to a Bezzels display size, Itel P33 packs close to the same weight as its predecessor with a lesser numeric tagline.

We love the fact that Android Go edition is back in play with an 8.1 version packed to the device’s proclaimed 16GB ROM supported by a lighting blast of 1GB RAM. Additionally, a zoom + wide angle rear lens duo proves another lane of mobile photography with the P33, though the front packs a single camera mode, its soft flash brings out a sense of selfies in low light.

Depending on the Face unlock feature shipped to the Itel P33 alongside a fingerprint sensor to the center of the rear plate. This must be one of the best battery friendly smartphones beating top tier releases in an affordability showdown. But since we have a copy of the Itel P33 on the right notch of our review desk, we shall explore more of what this device ships to life in a foldable releases year.

Building on the premium legacy of long-lasting battery performance. The Itel P33 packs a 4000mAh battery designed to keep the phone online for up to 80 hours after a 1 single charge and full throttle usage optimized by a new AI system layer.

As a matter of fact, the P33 is a much superior version of the p32 even with only a numeric increment separating the two. From the battery, to the camera and design, these are some of the elegant features inked during the P33 launch in Kampala.

AI Power Master to Ensure Your Power in Control

The Itel P33 ships a new AI Power master that optimizes power consumption of the smartphone for more usage. With this new optimization feature, the device ships an uptime of 80 hours with normal usage, 22 hours on a continuous 3G phone call and 350 hours standby with a SIMcard.

Additional to the uptime duration of the smartphone with AI power master enabled, the p33 power saving mode also intelligently adjusts the device performance over Wifi, Bluetooth, data and display brightness once a low battery level is met for more hours of usage.

Big Memory for More Storage

Unlike all previous Itel power releases, the P33 ships 16GB of internal storage with up to 12GB of usable space. Thanks to the light pre-installed Go apps running on an optimized Android Go oreo operating system, the phone allows adding more apps without halting the system storage in any way.

Double Security to Protect Your Privacy

Similar to the 2018 P32 release, Itel’s P33 further brings the fingerprint sensor back to life at a time when foldable smartphones are ruling the edge. However, Itel mobile pimped the P33 with an additional security layer with face unlock and upgraded fingerprint functions from 5 to 8.

The Itel P33 design and available colors

Itel P33 comes in a range of vibrant colors including a new fashionable blue color and not forgetting the black layout on a close to bezzeless screen layout. As a matter of fact, the Itel mobile digital lead Lindah Nakityo applauded the device as an affordable big battery companion pimped with an elgant design.

“With the newly unveiled itel P33, itel Mobile is committed to providing best-in-class smartphones for everyone that offers more value with cutting-edge technology, features, and style but at a very friendly price. The itel P33 is extending the reputation of an exceptional value proposition that no mid-range flagship smartphone can match, and we are confident, this device will not just raise the bar but will satisfy our consumer’s need of a long-lasting battery to the fullest. – Lindah Nakityo, Digital Marketing Manager, Itel mobile

After months of expectations of what the next Itel phone would look like after an affordable A16 mash up. The Itel P33 seems to be an amazing companion that even without a top-notch, it will still be a perfect affordable smartphone to own in 2019.

Although the Itel P33 launch dates are debatable with the 1st week of April having more bulls to cruise the budget-friendly entrant to Uganda. As a matter of fact, the P33 is a superior version of the P32 which featured a fingerprint sensor to its back powered by a 4000mAh battery and a quad-core processor.

So as a teaser leaked by Itel mobile prophesizes the P33 to feature a fingerprint sensor and a much bigger battery. It’s no doubt that the latest P series member is one to reckon with. The phone battery is expected to last at least 80 hours with maximum usage relying on a superior 4000mAh battery ranting a new name as the “Power master”.

A big battery Power master

Unlike previous Itel P series releases, the P33 is rolling out as a mid-range device with a much affordable tone to the price tag. In fact, the P33 predecessor dressed in a lower numeric model was launched mid last year (July) proving the fact that this could be the best P series release with a mid-range touch to quality since it’ll be an early April release.

Among the devices that so far cruise in the mid-range lane Infinix’s Hot 7 and the TECNO Camon 11 are some of those that will face competition from a budget-friendly release on the same market with an Itel mobile scent.

In a teaser shared by Itel mobile, the P33 won’t pack full mid range capabilities but instead a budget-friendly version in the high features scope. In a like manner, this could be Itel’s flagship smartphone before indicators of an S series release since its their first device with face unlock packed to the system. Nonetheless, here are the rumored specifications of the Itel P33.

ITEL P33 Rumored Quick Specifications

Operating System: Android 8.1 Go Edition

Battery: 4000 mAh (80 hours usage)

Storage: 16GB Internal expandable to 32GB

Display: 5.5″ HD+ IPS Full Screen

Extra Features: Face Unlock, Fingerprint Sensor

Given the fact that the top-notch evolution is now shuttered with foldable phones like the Galaxy fold and Mate X plus Xiaomi’s double fold peeping from a sharp angle. We expect the P33 to feature that perfect feel of owning a notch display device even when the display mode has no rails on the teased specs sheet.

Nonetheless, as the expected UGX 250,000 priced smartphone is yet to be launched in Uganda. We can’t wait to witness the green lights of Itel’s fingerprint sensor + face unlock flagship phone with a battery expected to last up to 2 days with a single charge
