The iTel S33 is the first model from iTel Mobile to feature a 6.0-inch display, marking a shift from previous models like the iTel A62 and iTel S42, which have screens up to 5.7 inches. This device represents an expansion of the S-series, iTel’s higher-end lineup, aiming to improve on the design and build quality of the iTel S32.
The display on the iTel S33 has a resolution of 480 x 960 pixels,resulting in a pixel density of approximately 176 PPI. This is lower than the 267 PPI found on the iTel S32, indicating a decrease in screen sharpness. The device is powered by a MediaTek MT6580 processor clocked at 1.3 GHz, paired with a Mali-400MP2 GPU. It includes 1 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal storage, which can be expanded by up to 32 GB via a microSD card.
In terms of cameras, the iTel S33 is equipped with dual 5-megapixel sensors on the rear and a 13-megapixel front-facing camera. The rear camera setup supports basic photography functions, while the front camera is designed for selfies and video calls. The phone runs on Android 8.1 Oreo (Go edition), a lightweight version of Android optimized for devices with limited hardware resources.
Additional features include a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor and facial recognition for device security. The battery capacity is 3000 mAh, which supports standard usage but does not include fast charging.Notably, the iTel S33 does not support LTE connectivity, limiting it to 3G networks. There is no official data regarding an LTE variant at this time.
