Itel has expanded its entry-level smartphone lineup with the introduction of the Itel A300C in India. Built with everyday utility and durability in mind, the new smartphone emphasizes prolonged battery life and robust construction for budget-conscious users.
Design and Rugged Build
The Itel A300C showcases a practical aesthetic with a slim 8.49mm profile. Its rear camera module features a layout reminiscent of the iPhone 18 Pro Max. Color choices include Comet Orange, Lavender Purple, Classic Black, and Silver Mist. Built to endure tough conditions, the phone carries a MIL-STD-810H durability rating and has survived 1.8-meter cased drop tests along with extreme thermal and humidity testing. Note that it lacks an official IP rating for water or dust protection.
Display and Performance
At the front, the phone sports a 6.6-inch HD+ panel with a resolution of 720 x 1612 pixels and a 90Hz refresh rate for smoother scrolling. It achieves a 90% screen-to-body ratio and offers up to 480 nits of typical brightness, making it suitable for indoor usage. Under the hood, it is powered by an entry-level Unisoc T7100 chipset paired with up to 4GB of RAM (plus virtual RAM support) and up to 128GB of internal storage, expandable up to 2TB via a microSD card.
Software, Cameras, and Battery Life
Running Android 16 Go Edition, the handset ensures lightweight performance for daily task management. Added convenience features include an IR blaster for remote appliance control and DTS audio support. Camera duties are handled by an 8MP rear sensor with LED flash and a 5MP front-facing lens for basic selfies and calls.
Its primary highlight is a massive 6,000mAh battery that supports 18W fast charging via USB-C. Itel claims up to 50 days of standby time, 46 hours of talk time, 18.75 hours of short video consumption, 9.6 hours of gaming, 122 hours of music playback, and 66.5 hours of navigation.
Price and Availability in Nepal
In India, the 4GB + 64GB variant of the Itel A300C is priced at INR 10,999. If the device makes its way to the Nepali market, the expected starting price for the Itel A300C in Nepal is NPR 22,999.
