The itel p36 is the newest and latest device in the itel lineup.

There are two variants
1. The P36
2. The P36 Pro LTE

Its major specs are listed below

Technology
GSM / HSPA
2G Network Bands. GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 - SIM 1 & SIM 2 (NO 4G, but the pro version has 4g )

Display Type :- IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen, 16M colors

Size. :- 6.5-inches, 88.9 cm2 (~82.2% screen-to-body ratio)

Resolution:- 720 x 1600 pixels, 19.5:9 ratio (~272 ppi density)
Touch Screen:- Yes, up to 5 fingers
Display Protection:- Scratch Resistant Glass (what?)

Operating System:- Android 10 (Go Edition)
Chipset:- UniSoC Spreadtrum SC7731E (chai )
CPU:- Quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 (32nm)

(processor won't be battery efficient. Processors with sizes higher than 30nm will have problems with over heating without anything doing the phone. This particular Unisoc chipset is outdated and even dumped/discontinued by the company making it. Presently, Unisoc is developing a 5g 5nm chip for computers )

GPU:- ARM Mali T820 MP1

Mali GPUs are one of the worst GPUs in the smartphone market. Casual games like Brothers in Arms 3 (2015 game) or Pubg or Modern Combat 5 will seriously lag on this device. Coupled with the weak 1.3ghz CPU, playing MODERN games (emphasis on MODERN) on this device will be a nightmare

RAM (Memory):- 1 GB (wtf, 1gb ram phone in 2020?? Well if you want 2gb ram, be ready to add more money to the phones price and get the p32 pro )

Storage Capacity:- 16 GB
Card Slot:- Yes, up to 32 GB via microSD card
Phonebook:- Practically Unlimited
Call Record:- Practically Unlimited

The itel p36 also sports a 5000mah battery, a 10W fast charging feature (slow fast charging. Ironic if you ask me) in both varients and sports 8mp front and back camera.

The Price?

Itel P36:- $79 (#31,000)
Itel P36 LTE pro:- $113 (#43,000)

PERSONAL VERDICT/OPINION/RAMBLINGS

Is the itel p36 worth your money?

NO

Are there better devices you can get for that price??

YES

A 35k phone with 1gb ram, low CPU, low GPU, low camera (8mp) is just ridiculous.


That's all I have to say. Thank you.

Because you are spoiling a brand.

"IF YOU WAN BUY TRANSISSION DEVICES MAKE SURE YOUR HOUSE NEAR CALCARE". - PHILIP EMEGWALI(2020)

Itel should sha fear God, how can they make a phone in 2020 with one GB ram and no 4g and still have the guts to sell it for 30k

The specs of the phone doesn't differ much from the infinix hot which was sold for 18k in 2014!!

Anyway, nice review bro

edoairways:

Because you are spoiling a brand.

How am I spoiling it?
Itel put something inside a phone, I took those things out one by one and broke them down, saying the truth about each and everyone of them and yet you're here saying I am "spoiling the brand"

Any brand that is afraid of scrutiny and in depth analysis should be watched with a sharp eye.
Any brand that doesn't like the truth should not be trusted. (I didn't name names o)

Oga what you just did is demarketing. It is unethical

Le onye nzuzu
Since when has honest reviews become brand spoiling eh?
You prefer this device with the specs and the 6+yrs old unisoc chip for crying out loud to be sold for that price?
If I wish evil on you will you like it?(of course you won't)
There's literally better options than this like OP said and the only unreasonable thing you could think of and post is brand spoiling.... You need help.

Baba stop focusing on the messenger and set your eyes on the message. Imagine, saying the truth about a phone actually demarkets this company.

I am no marketer. I am a simple man. I see a phone, i break it down, review it and decide if its worth peoples money or not. I don't have time to market, I am not bounded by this "ethical marketing" sham you Transsion lackeys carried on their foreheads everywhere.

As you can see, I gave my PERSONAL opinion and didn't ask anybody not to buy the device
If you can't agree or disagree with anything apart from my personal life and profile, then please leave.

Why not focus your energy on xiaomi leave tecno alone

Please let us not introduce insult here.... Else mods go ban me and my thread

Abeg.....

One thing I've noticed about transsion devices is how they slam their phones with big battery, colourful design and fake camera in a bid to swindle Ignorant Nigerians of their hard earned money in the name of "cheap and affordable"

edoairways:

Why not focus your energy on xiaomi leave tecno alone

Because I am not one sided and close minded like some people usually do.
I am open minded and attack both parties. If Xiaomi bleeps up, I criticize them too

You Transsion promoters have a problem in distinguishing between demarketing and criticism.

Its obvious. Very obvious.

You know a brand is truly horrible when they treat 4G lte like a premium feature in 2020.



Transsion is truly a backward company.

Your article is incomplete.
You could've listed the better devices available for that price range.
Nice review BTW.

Transsion is a virus and we need to kill that virus asap..no space for recycled mediocre device in Nigeria.

Please let's control ourselves. The mods will ban and hide this topic at the slightest provocation nowadays.

Ban or not, there's others that'll still call out Transsion for their bad practices so keep looking for excuses to report.
For your information, I currently use an LG phone, G8 to be precise and don't bloody call me a xiaomite.
Me enjoying their device doesn't mean you have the right for slap a "fanatic" label on me.
And if I defend them so what? I'll do it to brands that got my utmost respect, not brands that sees one as cash cows with brain cells to rival a gerbil which unfortunately...

But if I added the list, Transsion fans will cry for my blood.

Does that warrant their insults and abuse on every threads? Do you have to call me fool? . Why are you so pained that you can't just argue without insults?

we all know that 3G somehow us messed up maybe because 4G is around so 3G is super slow so the non pro version is a no no



but then again




why will anyone buy this ancient, recycled piece of junk spreadtrum chip for this ridiculous price? them go sabi u face for carlcare

Demarketing comes in different form. What you just did is demarketing period.

yes o the moment I saw the name "itel p36 pro LTE" I was like, is there any none 4G smartphone in 2020?

edoairways:

Does that warrant their insults and abuse on every threads?

For starters,
1. The acts of the mods around here has prevented most threads to start and end in a civil manner
2. Some people's ignorance can trigger some people
3. Strong words must be employed for some, there are those amongst us who communicate that way
4. Out of everyone you and some here tag as a xiaomite has had a bad experience with Transsion devices and in their quest to find the "perfect phone", they've used or handled at least one xiaomi device

Finally, not everyone wants to remain in the past, technology is making great strides and I amongst others wants to be there when it's happening, not years later when another innovation is in the works.
If Transsion can REALLY get with the times, believe me the hate will reduce drastically.
