Smartphone brand itel has launched the S25 Ultra, an entry-level smartphone with high-end design elements and durability-focused features, aimed at providing premium appeal for less than P8,000. The device’s 6.78-inch 3D-curved AMOLED display, typically seen in pricier models, brings vivid visuals and durability to a budget-friendly market.
The S25 Ultra’s display reaches up to 1400 nits brightness and offers an FHD+ resolution at 2436 x 1080 pixels, providing clear, vibrant visuals with a 94% screen-to-body ratio. The phone is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 7i, which increases its resilience to drops and scratches. Its ultra-slim build measures 6.9mm in thickness and weighs only 163 grams, enhancing portability and aesthetics.
For additional protection, the S25 Ultra’s back panel features a five-layer TitanShield technology, making it water-resistant with an IP64 rating. It also includes wet hands touch control for easy use even with damp hands.
