Last week, itel mobile officially released their latest big battery phone, the it1516Plus into the Nigerian market. The reviews i have seen so far has been quite positive. Many people are happy with the sleek and premium metal body design, the 5000mAh battery and the fact that you do not have to put a hole in your pocket to get the device.

Some months ago, the Tecno L8 had similar rating. So today, i am going to compare and contrast the major specs of the two phones and allow readers tell me which is better. so without further ado, lets dive into the crust of the matter.

Both of them run on Android 5.1 Lollipop, which is still the most common Android OS presently. On the Display part, it1516Plus has a 5.0" IPS Touchscreen while L8 has a 5.5" IPS capacitive touchscreen. The only difference here is the screen size.

Both of them have a 2MP Front Camera, although the it1516Plus has a front flashlight which is missing in the L8. However, the L8 has an 8MP Back camera compared to 5MP in it1516Plus . They both run on Quad Core Processor and also have 1GB RAM each. Battery Capacity is 5000mAh in 1516Plus and 5050mAh in L8.

While the it1516Plus comes in a metallic body giving it a premium appearance, the L8 has a plastic Cover body design. The it1516Plus also have OTG ability, meaning you can use it to charge other phones and access USB flash drive with your phone but this feature is lacking in the Tecno L8

Finally, the price for it1516Plus range between ₦25,000 - ₦27,000 in most stores while the L8 is selling between ₦37,000 - ₦42,000.

That is my comparison of both big battery phones. which of them would you likely buy if you were to buy a big battery phone??

The it1516Plus look like a value for money though, especially in this recession.
This OTG stuff, what is the maximum flash drive size i can use for it??

32GB is the maximum in most phones. You won't want to use a flashdrive that hang your phone
