itel P36 & P36 Pro LTE

itel P36 Pro LTE is arriving in the market as the succesor of itel P33 Plus. Like all members of the itel P-series, it sports a big battery and is optimised to deliver the best battery life possible at the low-end of the smartphone market.

The non-Pro variant runs Android 9 Go Edition and has 1GB of RAM coupled with 16 GB of storage memory, and has the same 5000mAh battery of the Pro version but lacks the 10W fast charging. Of course, it lacks 4G LTE connectivity.
