Itel P32 Review: Yet another budget friendly dual-camera Android Go smartphone

Owning a smartphone is something quite easy to achieve, but owning a genuine smartphone requires you to buckle up your handcrafted skills for an authentic device. Itel mobile is one of the leading Africa distributors ranking 3rd on a continental scale. With this, it’s by no doubt that the company improved the kind of devices shipped to different nations. After a few weeks in company of the Itel P32 smartphone, we had mixed feelings about the device given the fact that it’s gifted with a 4000mAh battery and a lot sized package of optimization tweaks to the single budget friendly piece.

With an elegant full-screen display and 2 rear cameras spicing up the geeky bits of Itel’s P32 smartphone. The device’s first impressions inked to us what Itel mobile’s future releases may be like. However much the A32F turned out to be Itel’s first Android Go release, the Fingerprint revolution could be redefining the fate of top-tier smartphones that are for now overshadowed by the powered mid & low range series. Unlike Itel’s S series, you’re most likely to bump into a small P-family packaging box as we unboxed the Itel P32 with a full accessories spree.

Unboxing the Itel P32

In spite the shiny white-red gradient packaging box. Beneath a soft sponge lies the 5.5-inch screen Itel P32 smartphone accompanied by two first-ever unique device covers. As a matter of fact, apart from the sleek P32 screen cover & plastic covers nothing else new is bundled in the device box but the usual charging & headset accessories.

Design & Display

Since the beginning, big smartphone screens have been the most memorable characteristic of top-tier smartphones but as the rest of the smartphone world caught onto the jumbo display trend, screen sizes from various makers started to converge around six-inch displays. The throne on which Transsion brands including Infinix & Tecno have dominated.

The Itel P32 smartphone is one of those 5.5-inch screen devices that pose full features together with an 18:9 display ratio relatively cross-matching its Camon CM counterpart which also raves with the same ratio. Additionally, the P32 has a matte polycarbonate finish which granting it a premium look & feel sighted as a mid-range beast close to the competition. More so, the 8.8 mm thickness contrasted to a 5-inch frame surely bumps away any accidental damages that could haunt the device in any way.

To the back of the Itel P32, the Smartphone’s dual rear camera lenses attract a deeper thought that with elegant looks to the corner. In fact It’s difficult to tell if you’re holding a P32 once the dual device covers are lugged on letting sides for the Camera & fingerprint sensor.

Camera & Battery Life

Whether you own a 6.0-inch smartphone or a 4.0 version, picture quality is a must option for your Instagram hauls. Itel devices triggered a poor quality flame in the brand’s genesis smartphone releases. As a matter of fact, this belief has perished overtime with super quality releases unveiled annually including the A32F earlier this year. By the same token, the Itel P32 doesn’t disappoint for a selfie or groufie spree once in a while with its 5MP + 5MP dual cameras coupled with an LED Flash.

The Itel P32 dual rear camera lenses elegantly grant a perfect first impressions feel with free transport to the Bokeh wagon. However, we gave the P32 a test drive and here are the results both with in Zoom plus landscape angles.

Equally important, the battery life of any smartphone pumps in new feature heights for a device. However, the Itel P32 is one of those big battery smartphones you can surely find at a fair budget below $100. For instance, Tecno teases its L-series currently fatal-minated by the L9+ but retailing between 450,000-500,000 Ugshs approx $140. By the same token, we didn’t battle up with any extra charges after every full charge for the P32 making it one of the awesome long battery smartphones we have so far bumped into this year. Comparatively with the 4000mAh inbuilt battery powering this android Go device. It’s by no doubt that a basic user can optimize the P32 for a one week long usage with no charge.

Software & Performance

Google’s Android operating system is one Linux Kernel-based software that has the most revisions & versions deployed annually. At the present time, we have Android P & Android Go dominating all new releases including the newest Infinix S3X crumbled with Android 8.1 Oreo. Well, Itel mobile didn’t tremble into another version than the Usual Android Go edition previously shipped to the A32F.

As it’s important to realize the volatile storage of any smartphone for best performance tweaks. The P32 has 1GB RAM crumped onto the less bulk Android Go edition that utilizes a small bit of the device’s 8GB storage. Perhaps, the light operating system acted up to our expectations with no sluggish performance on a 1GB RAM device. Correspondingly the system only utilizes 2.5 GB off the 8GB internal memory granting fairly fast processing speeds. Henceforth, the Itel P32 smartphone delivers the best performance beyond its capabilities fueled up by the Android 8.1 Oreo with Android Go

Final verdict

Before smartphones replaced the old fancy feature phones on the market, in the light of diving into a fantastic phone, everyone focused on how reliable it is with focus on the battery life. Equally, the story has never shifted covers as big battery smartphones tease a lion’s share on the most-purchased devices list in several device shops.

Despite the poor picture quality once zoomed in. The Itel P32 is one awesome smartphone you could definitely add on your black Friday shopping list. Nonetheless, for the entire 2 weeks, we spent in company of the P32, It’s one of those key devices that never disappoint. On the other hand, at a whooping UGX 330,000 price tag, the Itel P32 is one of those amazing low-range like smartphones that deserve a mid-range flag for amazing features embedded in a single package.
