Display and Design
The 6.1-inch HD+ IPS panel with a waterdrop notch gives the Itel A48 a modern look that is uncommon at this price segment. The 720x1560 pixel resolution with a 19.5:9 aspect ratio delivers a tall, immersive screen that works well for reading, social media, and streaming. The gradient colour options — Green, Purple, and Black — add a premium visual touch without adding to the cost.
Camera, Performance, and Battery
Camera duties are handled by a 5-megapixel dual autofocus rear setup with LED flash, capable of producing sharp images in good lighting for everyday photography. The 5MP front camera includes AI Beauty Mode for selfies. On the performance side, the 1.4GHz quad-core processor works in tandem with Android 10 Go Edition — a lightweight OS optimised for devices with 2GB RAM, ensuring smoother everyday usage. The 3000mAh battery should comfortably last a full day of light-to-moderate use. Security is covered by both face unlock and a multi-fingerprint sensor, a combination that is rarely seen on phones under Rs 7,000.
