iTel has announced the availability of its latest smartphone in the A series – the A70 4G which succeeds the A60 that was launched early this year. The A70 brings neat upgrades and design changes that make it better than the A60.
iTel keeps the same screen size and resolution as the A60 – you get a 6.6-inch 720p screen with the standard 60Hz refresh rate included.
The Itel A70 ships in four beautiful colours including Stylish Black, Brilliant Gold, Field Green and Azure Blue. The black version has a sort of shimmer and all units have the Awesome logo at the lower back.
This time round itel switched the ports as the A70 sports a Type-C charging port instead of the microUSB charging port. It also comes with a side-mounted fingerprint reader for biometrics which the A60 didn’t have.

Instead of the Android 12(Go Edition), itel A70 ships with the full-fledged Android 13 operating system.
