itel Launches itel S17, itel Spirit 1 Laptop, Cinema TV Projector and Other New Products in Exclusive Online Launch in Ghana

itel, the global premium mobile phone and accessories brand, continues to prioritize giving its customers control, functionality, fun and value. In keeping to that tradition, the brand has added a line of new and exciting products to its fleet; the iconic itel S17 smartphone, the itel Cinema TV H1 Pro, the Spirit 1 Laptop and the itel Wireless Neckband N53F. These were announced in an exclusive online launch event held on Friday October 8, 2021.

The highly attended virtual event drew participation from celebrities and top industry leaders across Nigeria and West Africa, with itel brand ambassador Olamide- accompanied by Nollywood star Mercy Johnson-Okojie and celebrity TV host Stephanie Coker- on hand to talk about the sterling qualities of the new products. Starting October 9th, 2021, itel stores and authorised outlets will have their shelves filled with these exciting new products as the brand continues to seek easier ways to make life better for all.

itel S17: Specs and Features
A look at the itel S17 smartphone reveals a huge improvement on previous generations of the S series; yet the phone can be purchased at an unmatched price point that target consumers can afford. This gives credence to the International Data Corporation (IDC) report for 2020 which rated itel as the Number One Smartphone and Feature Phone Brand in Africa under $75, a recognition for its affordability and quality.
Tagged Capture Your Smile, the Smile Selfie smartphone is a game-changer, ensuring that you can look your best when you take a selfie with ease. This is supported by an 8MP front camera and a large 6.6-inch HD+ waterproof full screen that produces 3-dimensional, crystal clear images and videos. The battery has also been massively upgraded to 5000mAh, enough for up to 70 hours of music, 30 hours of chat, 7-10 hours of entertainment and 7 hours of selfie. With three rear cameras, taking a photo and recording videos have become more flexible and exciting. These allow more light to come in through the expanded lens, making the view wider and clearer.

Other features include the radial diamond texture that makes the device pleasant to touch and look at; beautiful, sleek exterior design; double safety feature with upgraded fingerprint sensor and face unlock; durable internal and external structures, dust, and moisture resistance and many more. You can simply walk into an authorised store and choose between the multicolor green, sky blue or deep ocean black variants- whatever tickles your fancy.

Breath-taking Cinematic Experience with the itel Cinema TV H1 Projector
Home or office, it doesn’t really matter. Whether you’re warming up on a large couch with family and friends as you enjoy the current episodes of your favourite TV show or presenting a life-changing pitch in the boardroom, this digital TV projector is as good as they come. With 100-inch wide-angled screen dimension, i-Cast support and 2×5 Width double speakers, you’re all set for a wholesome cinematic experience.

itel Smart Watch 1 for all times and seasons
This is another new product offering by itel. At first glance what you see is a truly attractive wristwatch but take a closer look and you’ll see why this wristwatch ranks high on functionality and usability. It is a lifestyle watch with features for sports, health, and entertainment. We can talk about its blood oxygen and heart rate monitors or its 7 sports modes all day long, but not to forget its music and camera control feature, smart notifications, and personalised menu.

It’s Thin, It’s Light, It’s The Itel Spirit 1 Laptop
Processor? Check. Memory? Check. Powerful, fast-charging battery? Check. This new laptop by itel offers you everything you need in a personal computer and so much more. With 1 TB in-built memory, 8GB RAM and Windows 11 operating system, there’s a lot to love about the Spirit 1 laptop beyond the elegant 15.6-inch FHD Screen and its thin, light design. It is also equipped with WiFi 5, allowing routers to engage with up to four devices at a time.

Get Your Groove On With The itel Wireless Neckband N53F
This is a next-generation wireless neckband brought to you by itel. The Wireless sound accessory is compatible with most mobile phones and computers on the market, giving you the crisp sound quality, you deserve. Its iconic magnetic earbuds will stay put in your ears and never fall off. This ergonomic design is further enhanced by a comfortable and stylish Neckband.
