itel S16 Pro Hands-on Video
Mister Mobility gives us a close look at the S16 Pro in this hands-on video:
itel S16 Pro Phone Review Rating
Our first impressions of the S16 Pro are quite positive. It performs as is expected of an entry-level device with its specifications. Thanks to 2GB RAM, app launching and switching are not painful experiences. And 32GB internal storage is adequate.
General performance, including fingerprint unlocking, is good. Battery life is good too. We wish it had 4G though, but that is available on the S16 Pro 4G variant, if you really want that.
MobilityArena Rating: 4/5

Guy note that the megapixal in a cameral does not mean anything so the fact that itel s15 series came with 16mp does not mean that is good than the 8megapixal on the itel s16 series.
So also note that The s15 came with 2.0 with 16mp but the s16 seriescame with 3.0 with 8mp.
So the s16 series selfie came is better.
This itel S16 pro is a nice phone
Pls increase the battery of itel S16 4g to 500mah and we’ll buy
I like the s16 pro, the price too is nice… I need it by the end of this month on 01 november 2020. Thank you!
The S16 seems more costly
Why is that asides the accessories
I am a photographer so I deal mostly with camera and rom and ram including battery, the rest is non of my business. So therefore, increase the ram, rom, cameras for both the back and front and the battery to 500 or probably 600 if possible and I will gladly order for as many as possible. Thank you
There’s no point talking down on this product. For all I know, itel has revved up the series in its brand and it is worth checking out from what I read on this beautiful review.
Itel you people should increase your Ram and Rom abeg
Some of the products in these series still leaves much to be desired. itel should look into it if they really intend to get ahead of other competitors in the market.
Hey guys, this product is actually good. You just don’t hold new products to the same standards you’ve gotten used to while using different brand of phones. This is a chance to explore the offers by these tech markets, and I for one have found itel s16 to be satisfactory.
