Display and Performance
The P40 sports a 6.6-inch HD+ IPS display, giving users ample screen real estate for streaming, browsing, and gaming on a tight budget. Under the hood, the device is powered by an Octa-Core SC9863A processor running Android 12 Go Edition, a lightweight version of Android optimised for devices with limited RAM. The base model ships with 2 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage, while a 4 GB RAM variant is also on offer. Itel's proprietary Memory Fusion technology allows users to extend RAM up to 7 GB by borrowing from the internal storage, delivering a smoother multitasking experience than the hardware specs alone might suggest.
Camera Setup
On the camera front, the itel P40 features a dual rear camera system comprising a 13-megapixel primary sensor paired with a QVGA secondary camera. Dual flash accompanies the rear setup to assist in low-light shots. For selfies and video calls, the phone includes a 5-megapixel front camera. While the camera hardware reflects the device's budget positioning, the dual-flash support and dedicated front camera make it a practical daily shooter for social media and basic photography needs.
Battery Life and Charging
One of the standout features of the P40 is its 6000 mAh battery — a capacity that comfortably powers the phone through a full day and then some, even with heavy use. Charging is handled via a USB Type-C port with 18W fast charging support, reducing downtime at this price point. The 4G connectivity support ensures users stay connected on modern networks without upgrading to a pricier tier.
Security and Biometrics
Security is covered by both a fingerprint sensor and face unlock, giving users two convenient biometric options to secure their device — features that are increasingly expected even at the sub-Rs 8,000 price bracket.
