Friendly to your wallet, the itel A50C spikes itself as the ideal gizmo for frugal users.
Smartphones can be expensive, particularly flagships and true gaming models. That’s why people opt for affordable ones while demanding reasonable specifications.
itel quietly released a solution for those who think current offers in the market are pricey. It’s the itel A50C that only costs around 3K? But is it really the best choice for frugal peeps? Let’s unpack this thrifty treat!
The itel A50C is powered by the Unisoc T603 processor and 4,000 mAh battery. It’s also equipped with 2 GB of RAM, 32 GB of internal storage, a lone 8 MP rear camera, and a single 5 MP selfie shooter.
Design-wise, the smartphone has the signature entry-level identity with the dewdrop notch at the top of its 6.56-inch LCD panel. The software is Android 14 Go Edition but includes a few perks like a Dynamic Bar.
Returning from the past is the rear-mounted fingerprint sensor. It’s an old yet better than the side-mounted version for some users. The odd here, however, is the alignment, which isn’t centered because it has been placed inside the camera island.
So, is the itel A50C a real thrifty choice? Not with the 3K price tag. The 2 GB of RAM worked a decade ago but the current landscape of apps and games will choke it.
Even if you enable the virtual RAM expansion, it will only feel like a placebo because it’s nothing compared to a bigger, onboard memory installed. Plus, it only charges at a rate of 5 W, too slow for its battery capacity.
But if you’re moving away from feature or basic phones, the itel A50C is a reasonable pick for you to get familiar with Android.
