Itel has launched its latest budget-friendly smartphone, the Power 70, which is designed to make battery life a priority without breaking the bank. Equipped with a sizable 6,000 mAh battery and an innovative charging case that offers an additional 4,000 mAh, the Power 70 promises a robust 10,000 mAh total battery capacity. The phone is compact and lightweight, measuring 165.92 x 77.31 x 7.98 mm and weighing 200 grams. Users will appreciate that the Power 70 utilizes a Type-C port with 18W wired charging capabilities since it does not support wireless charging.
The most appealing aspect of the Itel Power 70 is its price point, which is set at under $85 and includes the charging case. While it may not boast high-end specifications, the Power 70 features a 6.67-inch HD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 700 nits, touted by Itel as a "Sunlight Display" designed for use in bright conditions. However, the effectiveness of this feature in direct sunlight remains to be seen.

Under the hood, the Power 70 is powered by a MediaTek Helio G50 Ultimate chipset, coupled with RAM options ranging from 4GB to 8GB. Storage configurations include 4GB/128GB, 6GB/128GB, 8GB/128GB, 4GB/256GB, and 8GB/256GB, all of which can be expanded through a microSD card, although the storage type is eMMC 5.1.
In terms of photography, the smartphone features a single 13MP rear camera alongside an 8MP front-facing camera, with video recording capabilities limited to 1080p. Additional features include two Nano-SIM slots, a single loudspeaker, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, but it does lack NFC.
The Power 70 is available in several attractive colors, including black, silver, marine, and gold. Positioned at a competitive price of around $85—with the charging case potentially being a limited-time offer—it stands out as an excellent choice for budget-conscious consumers seeking a reliable smartphone with lasting battery life.
