Smartphone brand Itel, at this point, is very well known when it comes to offering high-end smartphone "inspired" designs at a competitive price point. From Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra "look-alike" to iPhone "clones", the brand has done it all. Now, it is back again with the A100C, which might remind some of the upcoming OnePlus 15.
Itel A100C features Unisoc T7100 processor and 5,000mAh battery
Right off the bat, the most striking element of the Itel A100C is its design. From the squircle top-left-aligned camera deco to the pill-shaped camera lens placement, the smartphone screams OnePlus 15. However, if you look at the Pure Black, Titanium Gold, Blaze Blue and Silk Green colour options of the smartphone, the OnePlus 13s "inspired" hues are unmissable.
However, don't expect the smartphone to mimic the OnePlus 15 or the 13s in terms of specifications. For starters, Itel has settled for a 6.6-inch HD+ 90 Hz IPS LCD display with up to 400 nits of typical brightness and a teardrop notch at the top for the 5 MP selfie camera. The bottom chin is also quite noticeable.
Even the processor carries that "budget" tag with the Unisoc T7100 chip. Interested folks will be able to pair the smartphone with up to 4 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of storage. There is also the option to virtually extend the onboard RAM by up to 8 GB.
Software-wise, Itel A100C ships with Android 15 (Go Edition) out of the box layered on top with itel OS 15. The OS offers a feature which can convert the notch to a dynamic island-like plateau during incoming calls, messages and more.
Additionally, there is also a UltraLink feature, which helps the smartphone to communicate with other devices in the vicinity using Bluetooth signals. As for the battery capacity, a 5,000mAh cell is encased within the A100C. It supports 15W USB-C charging and the brand claims up to 32 hours of standby time on a single charge.
Apart from this, the A100C from Itel ships with an official MIL-STD-810H standard rating for durability, an 8 MP rear camera, DTS-tuned monospeaker, side-mounted fingerprint scanner, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and an Infrared sensor support.
That said, at the time of writing, Itel is yet to comment on the availability and pricing details of the smartphone. We expect the Itel A100C to arrive soon to India under the Rs 10,000 price point.
