Why Choose the Itel A50 4G?
Camera: Simple Photography for Everyday Moments
The Itel A50’s dual-camera system is designed for basic photography, suitable for capturing moments in Thika or Nairobi. The 8MP main sensor (f/2.0, autofocus) with an AI auxiliary lens and LED flash delivers decent photos in good lighting, supported by features like HDR, panorama, and AI-powered autofocus for better clarity. It records 1080p@30fps videos. The 5MP front camera is adequate for selfies and video calls on WhatsApp or Zoom but performs best in well-lit conditions. While not a flagship camera, it’s sufficient for casual use.
Performance: Efficient for Basic Tasks
Powered by the Unisoc T603 octa-core processor, the Itel A50 handles light tasks like browsing, social media, and casual gaming efficiently, though it may lag with heavy apps or multitasking. Available with 2GB, 3GB, or 4GB RAM (extendable up to 8GB via memory fusion) and 64GB or 128GB storage (expandable up to 128GB via microSDXC), it offers flexibility for apps and media. Running Android 14 (Go Edition), it’s optimized for low-spec devices, ensuring a smooth, bloatware-light experience, though only one major Android upgrade is expected. Connectivity includes 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth, USB-C 2.0, and a 3.5mm jack, making it reliable on Kenya’s networks.
User Experience: Stylish, Durable, and Immersive
The 6.6-inch HD+ IPS LCD display (720 x 1612, ~267 ppi, 480 nits) with a 20:9 ratio offers decent visuals and a high screen-to-body ratio for immersive browsing and streaming, though the resolution may lack sharpness. Its sleek plastic body (163.9 x 75.7 x 8.7mm) with a lenticular texture design feels premium and comfortable, available in Lime Green, Misty Black, Shimmer Gold, or Cyan Blue. The 5000mAh battery lasts up to two days with light use, with 10W charging (full charge in ~2.5 hours). Features like a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, face unlock, and a durable design enhance usability for Kenya’s fast-paced, budget-conscious lifestyle. No IP rating is specified, so caution is needed around water. Some X users note sluggish performance with multiple apps.
