Performance & everyday use
The Power 70’s chipset is modest — optimised for battery life and everyday tasks rather than heavy gaming or intensive multitasking. Expect smooth web browsing, social apps, video streaming and light gaming at reduced settings. The real advantage is endurance: with the internal battery you can easily get two full days of mixed use, and the charging case pushes that to multiple days — ideal for travel or long shifts.
Camera & multimedia
Cameras are basic but serviceable in bright light. The 13MP main sensor captures acceptable daylight shots; low-light performance is limited (noise and soft detail). The 120Hz display makes scrolling and UI feel fluid, but the HD resolution is a trade-off for battery efficiency.
Pros & Cons
Pros:
- Remarkable battery life (internal + case combo)
- 120Hz smooth display at a budget price
- IP54 splash resistance and practical features
- Very wallet-friendly pricing
Cons:
- Modest chipset — not for demanding gaming
- HD resolution (not Full HD) — less sharp than premium phones
- Camera quality limited in low light
Verdict
The itel Power 70 is an excellent choice if battery life and value are your top priorities. It’s not a performance flagship, but for travellers, field workers, or anyone who needs a phone that can last days on a charge, it delivers huge practical benefits. If you want top-tier cameras or raw gaming power, consider devices higher up the price ladder — but for battery-first buyers, the Power 70 is a strong contender in 2025’s budget segment.
