Itel Power 70 Debuts: Affordable Smartphone with Huge Battery

Itel Power 70 is an impressive budget smartphone and its major highlight is its battery capacity. It features a 6,000mAh battery oversized but very slim and light at 165.92 x 77.31 x 7.98 mm and 200g weight, and to kickstart the launch gift is a 4,000mAh charging case, for a total of 10,000mAh (excluding charging losses). The absence of wireless charging on the Power 70 means the case connects through the phone’s Type-C port and makes use of its 18W wired charging.

Itel Power 70 Launches with 10,000mAh Battery (With Case) and 120Hz Display for Under $85

The Power 70 is priced at less than $85 with a charging case included, which is a great value. It may not come with high-end hardware, but its specs do seem nicely balanced. It flaunts a 6.67-inch HD+ LCD with a 120Hz refresh rate and 700 nits peak brightness. Itel calls this a “Sunlight Display,” and says it works admirably in the sun’s glare — we’ll have to see how true that is in real life. Additionally, the screen supports wet and oily touch control.

Under the hood, the MediaTek Helio G50 Ultimate chipset powers the phone along with up to 8GB of RAM. It will be available in 4GB/128GB, 6GB/128GB, 8GB/128GB, 4GB/256GB, and 8GB/256GB storage options. The device does have eMMC 5.1 storage to save on costs, which is slower than UFS alternatives, though at least there is microSD expansion. The camera setup is basic, with a single 13MP rear sensor and an 8MP front camera. Video recording is limited to 1080p.

Other features include dual Nano-SIM slots, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a single loudspeaker, and a side-mounted fingerprint reader. Unfortunately, there is no NFC support. The Power 70 is available in black, silver, marine, and gold. While the included charging case might be a limited-time offer, the phone remains an excellent budget choice, especially for users prioritizing battery life over flagship-level performance.
