A new brand has sprouted that you might never heard of before.
Meet iTel Mobile, a smartphone company that focuses on basic/ featured phones and entry level smartphones.
They have a good track record in this field, like Infinix Mobile they are popular in the African region. But they reached the Philippine market late last year and now dominating the Visayas region. which is why you might not notice them on your social media feeds.
Last June 2019 they released locally their P33 series model — entry level device with a huge battery for under PHP 3K sub.
This year they introduced their line the A56 series, which compose of a base model and PRO model.
In terms of pricing it's more affordable compare to the P33 plus the A56 PRO model has a higher RAM but lower price of only PHP 3,199 while the base A56 is only PHP 2,899.
