The Itel P55 5G review, do you think it’s the cheapest 5G smartphone on the market right now?
Priced at an attractive 145,000 Naira, the Itel P55 5G undercuts the competition to become Nigeria’s most affordable 5G smartphone currently.
5G connectivity brings faster speeds and lower latency that enhances how we use our mobile devices. However, many 5G smartphones still come with premium price tags that limit accessibility.
Fortunately, brands like Itel are working to deliver more budget-friendly 5G options without cutting too many corners. The Itel P55 5G aims to be the most affordable way into 5G life.
This makes next-gen network access far more attainable. Though built for cost-efficiency, Itel still packs some nice features into this wallet-friendly device.
Itel P55 5G Review
Design and Display
Right away, the Itel P55 5G surprises with a stylish design belying its affordability. The glossy back cover with geometric line patterns resists ugly fingerprints too. Available color options include Galaxy Blue and Mint Green. Despite having a sizable 6.6-inch display, the phone remains fairly lightweight at 190g for comfortable portability.
The HD+ screen resolution delivers decent sharpness, while the 90Hz refresh rate keeps scrolling and transitions smooth. Just note the display lacks auto-brightness for easily adapting to different lighting conditions. There’s also a small waterdrop notch front-facing camera.
Cameras
A dual-camera 50MP + depth sensor handle primary photography duties. Pictures look vibrant in optimal daylight, though dynamic range could be better. The 8MP selfie camera also produces nice social media-ready snaps when lighting permits. Edge detection in portrait mode needs some improvement however.
Performance and Battery Life
Powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 1080 chipset and 6GB RAM, the Itel P55 5G delivers satisfactory performance for daily social media, YouTube watching, web tasks and the like. Gaming enthusiasts should temper expectations around running intensive 3D titles smoothly though. The phone does support memory fusion to virtually expand RAM to 12GB if you need more multitasking capability.
The large 5,000mAh battery keeps you connected into a second day for less demanding users, while 18W fast charging helps quickly top up when running low.
Verdict: Itel P55 5G Review
If experiencing 5G connectivity on a tight budget is your main priority, the feature-rich Itel P55 5G deserves your attention as Nigeria’s most affordable 5G device. Just don’t expect blazing processor speeds or pro-grade photography at this price. But for social media and casual uses, it gets the work done with modern flair.
