Itel has launched five new smartphones in South Africa, with each device costing under R2000.

This follows the launch of other affordable devices in May, when Itel’s sister brand launched the Spark 10 series in South Africa.

Both companies are owned by the manufacturer Transsion Holdings.

Here’s a look at the new devices from Itel and how much they cost.

Itel P40 smartphone

The Itel P40 is the headliner of the new batch of smartphones and comes equipped with a large 6000mAh battery. According to Itel, this gives the smartphone up to three days of use with a single charge.

It is also one of the largest of the new devices, featuring a 6.6-inch HD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate.

Other features include an octa-core processor, 2GB of built-in RAM and 2GB of extended RAM, a 13MP main camera, and an 8MP selfie camera.

The phone supports both Face Unlock and a fingerprint sensor.
