The brand’s most recent offering in the budget market is the ITEL P55 4G, which was just released. It is available for Rs 7,499 and includes a 50MP AI rear camera, a sizable 5,000mAh battery, a 6.6-inch LCD with support for a 90Hz refresh rate, and a respectable software experience with some cool capabilities like call recording. Additionally, the handset has a first for the segment: 24GB of dynamic RAM support (8GB of regular RAM + 16GB of virtual RAM). This helps position the smartphone as a formidable competitor in the entry-level smartphone market with improved multitasking and overall performance, at least on paper. Let’s examine the Intel P55 4G in more detail and discover how well this smartphone functions in daily life.
Itel P55 4G Rating: 7.5 / 10
Verdict
The item P55 4G, which costs Rs 7,499, is a good deal. The smartphone offers an excellent battery life, good daylight cameras for the class, a smooth refresh rate of 90Hz, and a respectable display with reasonable performance.
Design and Display
- The P55’s design does the phone credit and keeps it from appearing cheap. When exposed to direct light, the shimmering gradient design on the back panel of the device reflects various colors.
- The phone is easy to grasp in the hand and the plastic rear surface effectively conceals smudges and fingerprints.
- With a smooth refresh rate of 90 Hz, the display provides an immersive visual experience for streaming material and supports YouTube videos up to Full HD (1080p).
- The visual experience may be impacted by a few small problems. Though vision is compromised when the screen is in direct sunlight, it performs fairly well for the price.
- Additionally, there is an adaptive brightness option that effectively modifies the display brightness based on surrounding illumination. It’s interesting to note that the previously evaluated ITEL P55 5G lacks this capability.
Cameras
- The Itel P55 has a 50MP AI dual back camera configuration for photography. With an 8MP camera, you can take selfies and make video calls.
- The results of the daylight photos are appealing, with rich colors and just the right amount of detail. In addition to producing crisp shots, HDR and ultra-HD settings help photograph motionless subjects or objects.
- When enlarging an image, there is a discernible loss of detail and the details tend to get softer around the edges.
- Similar to this, selfies produce good results in daylight and balance facial details well, however, the skin tone may seem a little washed out.
Both software and performance
- The Intel P55 is powered by a Unisoc T606 processor, which also has 128GB of storage and up to 8GB of RAM. The first 8GB of RAM can be increased further with MemFusion technology, for a maximum of 24GB (or more essentially, 16GB of virtual RAM support).
- In terms of overall utilization, dynamic RAM has little effect; however, it improves performance for resource-intensive jobs, like gaming.
- The smartphone works well for regular use and browsing situations in general. It can occasionally be used as a casual gaming device as well. These serve as some benchmarks.
- Additionally, there are some helpful features like an app called Game Space that improves gaming performance and automatic call recording. Additionally, the Game Space app has health reminders that will notify you if you play for longer than two hours straight or collect four hours of gaming time.
Battery and charging
- The Itel P55 is powered by a 5,000mAh battery that supports 18W fast charging, and I must admit that this device’s battery performance has amazed me.
- I made several long calls, played some games, watched a lot of YouTube videos in one sitting, and just browsed. It’s amazing that by the end of the day, the gadget still had about 19% of its battery remaining.
- In the PCMark battery test, the P55 achieved an amazing result of 19 hours and 55 minutes. This suggests that the phone should easily last a full day, even with heavy use.
Final Verdict
For its price, the item P55 is a very attractive option because it has a good display with a smooth refresh rate of 90 Hz, an amazing battery backup, dependable day-to-day performance, and decent daytime cameras. The smartphone does make several sacrifices to maintain its low price, like a slow charging rate, a lower peak brightness, and dimly lit cameras.
The POCO C65 (review), which provides speedier performance and a decent mix of features at a similar price, and the Moto G24 Power (review), which appeals to consumers who want a long battery life and stock Android-like UI, are two notable competitors in this market. In conclusion, the ITEL P55 4G continues to be a gadget that nailed the fundamentals, giving it a choice worth taking into consideration for consumers looking for a capable device under Rs 8,000.
