Software, Design, Display
The iTel A15 is a dual SIM Android device running on the Oreo Go (version 8.1) flavor of the operating system with, not surprisingly, no support for LTE.
It’s a plastic build device with a removable back cover and a removable battery which sports a 5-inch touch display.
A 5-inch touch display which is an IPS LCD panel and has a 480 by 854p resolution which brings its pixel density to just under 196 pixels per inch.
Performance, Hardware, Cameras
Running things from within the device is a quad-core MediaTek CPU which has a clocked speed of about 1.3GHz and is paired with a gigabyte of RAM for a supposed fluid multitasking experience.
The memory space available on the device is a humble 8GB which, thankfully, can be extended by means of a microSD card — supported capacities up to 32GB.
For selfies and snaps, the device features a 2MP front-facing camera while at the back sits a 5-megapixel primary camera which has a dedicated LED for low light photos.
Finally, the removable battery seated within the A15 is a 2050 mAh Li-Ion cell which, understandably, does not support flash charging.
