Itel outs a new budget phone in the Philippines, the Itel City 100.
The new Itel City 100 poses as an elegant, sleek, and durable smartphone for under Php10,000. It has a unibody design that’s only 7.65mm thin and has an IP64 rating for dust and water resistance.
Itel highlights its dedicated magnetic case, letting you attach accessories like the limited-edition MagSpeaker with a transparent design and RGB lights. Itel will also offer a magnetic bracket, wallet, cooling fan, and possibly more in the future.
The implementation is similar to what Infinix is doing. Phones like the Note 50 Pro also come with a magnetic case that lets you attach different accessories to it.
Powering the device is a 4G-only UNISOC T7250 CPU with up to 8GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage. It is equipped with DeepSeek AI for all your AI needs.
Keeping the lights on is a 5,200mAh battery with 18W charging and a 4-year battery health guarantee.
We then have a decent 6.75-inch HD+ display with a 90Hz refresh rate, an 8-megapixel selfie camera on top, and an 13-megapixel main shooter on the back.
Sadly, it runs on the dated Android 14 operating system.
The Itel City 100 4GB/128GB has an SRP of Php6,999 in the Philippines, while the 8GB/128GB comes in at Php7,999. It will be available in the country with the Itel smartwatch 025 as a TikTok-exclusive from July 4 to 6, 2025.
