Itel It1513 – The Metal Smartphone with Android 6.0 Marshmallow & 5-inch Display

Itel Mobile has a way of meeting the ‘’smartphone needs’’ of different customers and it has done it again with the Itel it1513 – the metal smartphone. From its name alone, you would have guessed that the phone has a metal body, and the metal, according to the company, is meant to protect the phone from scratches and spills. The Itel it1513 does well to sport some important features synonymous to that of a good smartphone.

Itel it1513 Specifications, Review and Highlights

The Itel it1513 comes with a Quad-core 1.2GHz processor, has 1GB of RAM and an internal memory of 8GB which is expandable to 32GB via an external SD card slot. The Itel it1513 runs on the Android 6.0 Marshmallow operating system (which is kind of the latest, considering that Nougat 7.0 is available on a few select smartphones) which helps it to deliver efficiently.

The Itel it1513 sports a 5.0MP rear camera with an auto focus feature which is not really bad for a smartphone of this choice, and a 2.0MP front camera which can be improved upon in subsequent series.

The It1513 smartphone measures 144 * 74.3 * 9.1mm and has a 5.0-Inch display which though is excellent in terms of mobility, the 480 * 854 pixel resolution is not too impressive in relation to other high-end features this phone packs. The Itel it1513 also houses a non-removable 2100mAh Li-ion battery which gives the phone a relatively long-lasting run time.
