Itel City 100

itel City 100 in Kenya

The itel City 100  is a standout choice for those who want a modern smartphone that can survive the bumps and spills of a busy city life without breaking the bank.

The itel City 100 features a 6.75-inch HD+ display with a fluid 90Hz refresh rate. This makes animations, scrolling through social media, and casual gaming feel much more responsive. What sets this screen apart in the budget segment is its 700-nit peak brightness, ensuring you can see your maps or read messages clearly even under the bright Nairobi sun.

Under the hood, the phone is powered by the Unisoc T7250 chipset, which is optimized for efficiency and reliability. The device introduces several AI productivity features through its Aivana 3.0 assistant, including the ability to extract text from images and convert them into editable Word or PDF files. The inclusion of an Infrared (IR) port also allows the phone to double as a remote control for your TV or appliances at home.

The 5200mAh battery provides enough power for over a day of heavy use, supporting nearly 21 hours of video playback. A unique feature for this price point is Reverse Wired Charging, allowing you to use your phone to give a quick power boost to a friend’s device or your earbuds. Additionally, Bypass Charging is supported, which routes power directly to the phone during use to prevent the battery from overheating.
