The itel A80 was launched in September 2024. This phone aims to offer a balance between affordability and functionality. Let’s dive into the key specs, pros, cons and pricing of itel A80 in Bangladesh Key Features of itel A80  . Design and Build Quality  The itel A80 features a sleek and modern design with an 8.5 mm thickness, making it comfortable to hold. Available in Sandstone Black, Glacier White, and Wave Blue, the device offers a premium look despite its budget-friendly price. The polycarbonate back panel ensures durability, though it may attract fingerprints over time.  Compared to the itel A70, which has a slightly thicker 8.6 mm body, the A80 offers a refined build with a more contemporary appeal. When placed alongside the Lava Yuva Star and Honor X5b, the itel A80 stands out with its slightly slimmer profile. However, the Honor X5b, at 8.7 mm, offers a more premium feel due to its solid build and marginally heavier frame. Read more: Honor X5b Review: Affordable Innovation or Budget Compromise? Display Quality The itel A80 sports a 6.7-inch IPS LCD with a 120Hz refresh rate, ensuring a smoother scrolling and gaming experience. The HD+ resolution (720 by 1600 pixels) delivers decent color reproduction and sharpness, though it does not match the clarity of Full HD+ displays seen in more expensive devices.  Compared to the itel A70, which has a 6.6-inch IPS LCD but lacks a high refresh rate, the A80 provides a significantly improved viewing experience. However, the Lava Yuva Star, with its slightly larger 6.75-inch display, and the Honor X5b, with a 6.56-inch TFT LCD but a higher peak brightness of 530 nits, provide competition. The itel A80’s 500 nits brightness is adequate for outdoor visibility but falls behind the Honor X5b. Camera Performance One of the standout features of the itel A80 is its 50 MP main camera, which surpasses the 13 MP sensor found in the itel A70. The high-resolution sensor allows for better detail and improved color accuracy in daylight conditions. However, low-light photography remains a challenge due to the lack of advanced image processing capabilities.  Read more: OnePlus Pad 2 Review: Is It Worth Buying? The Lava Yuva Star and Honor X5b, both equipped with 13 MP cameras, fall short of the itel A80 in terms of raw resolution, though the Honor X5b benefits from a wider f/1.8 aperture for better low-light performance. The 8 MP selfie camera on the itel A80 is standard for this price segment, performing similarly to the selfie shooters found on competing devices. Processor Performance Under the hood, the itel A80 is powered by the Unisoc T603 chipset, the same processor found in the itel A70. This octa-core processor is sufficient for everyday tasks like browsing, social media, and light multitasking.  However, when compared to the Honor X5b, which features a more powerful MediaTek Helio G36 chipset, the A80 falls behind in processing power, particularly for demanding applications. The Lava Yuva Star, powered by the Unisoc SC9863A, also lags slightly behind in performance due to its older architecture. Read more: Xiaomi Redmi Turbo 4 Review: Is It a Value-for-money Midranger? The itel A80 can handle moderate usage with ease, power users might find it lacking in performance for more intensive tasks. Gaming Performance  Gaming on the itel A80 is acceptable for casual gamers, with its 120Hz display providing smoother frame transitions. However, the Unisoc T603 chipset limits its ability to run high-end games at stable frame rates. Games like Subway Surfers and Candy Crush run smoothly, while more demanding titles like PUBG Mobile and Call of Duty: Mobile experience occasional frame drops and reduced graphics settings.  In comparison, the Honor X5b, with its MediaTek Helio G36 chipset, offers slightly better gaming performance. The Lava Yuva Star, on the other hand, struggles with heavier games due to its lower-end processor. While the itel A80 is a decent choice for light gaming, users looking for a more capable gaming phone should explore alternatives in the mid-range segment.
