Itel, the affordable smartphone maker owned by Transsion Holdings (the parent company behind Infinix and Tecno), is ready to launch a new smartphone in India called the Itel P55. Notably, it is expected to be the country’s only 5G-enabled smartphone priced under Rs. 10,000 (approximately $125).

Itel is yet to reveal the launch date for the upcoming smartphone but has confirmed it will bring 5G to the masses. The under Rs. 10,000 market in India does not have many great options. You get to choose from a few Redmi and Poco smartphones. Some Samsung phones, like the Galaxy F04 and Galaxy M13, are also available in the same range but none of them support 5G. Itel wants to change that with the Itel P55.

We are not sure what specifications this phone will bring. The teaser image shared by the brand showcases a dual camera system on the back but that’s about it. As a budget phone, Itel P55 might bring a lower-end Unisoc processor, paired with a 5,000mAh battery. An official announcement should be around the corner.

The Itel P55 will follow the launch of the Itel S23+, which debuted earlier this month with a large 6.78-inch FHD+ AMOLED curved display, featuring a 59-degree curvature. This device also features a Unisoc T616 (12nm) processor, 8GB LPDDR4X RAM, and 256GB UFS 2.0 storage. The Itel S23+ is powered by a 5000mAh battery with 18W charging support and boasts a 50MP primary camera setup on the rear.
