The itel P36 is another addition to a long list of itel power-focused smartphones. As itel is known for manufacturing entry-level device that won't break your bank, the itel P36 is another device that is shaking the market at its price range.
The itel P36 comes with a huge 5000mAh battery, an eye-catchy and slim design, decent triple-camera setup and others features we're going to discuss in this article. Below is our review on the itel P36 phone highlighting all the exciting features packed in this phone.
Design: Ultra-Slim and Elegant
As far as the design is concerned, the itel P36 doesn't look cheap at all. Talk of the 6.5" HD+ Water drop full screen, itel has finally done away with the huge top screen bezels on its smartphones and the itel P36 has a full screen display with an incredible resolution of 720*1600 pixels. With no exaggeration, this display produces punchy, well-saturated and brighter colours. You'll enjoy the big HD+ display whether you're reading, watching movies, playing supported games, etc.
Moving to the back of the phone showcases the rounded-square camera bump, a fingerprint sensor, and the glossy, colourful gradient design. We love the placement and position of the camera bump with the rounded-square shape that matches the curved frame of this device - that makes it look premium and elegant. Add to it is a fingerprint sensor aligned, just below the camera bump, at the centre of the rear cover. It's placed at a convenient and reachable spot streamlined to enhance your security and unlock the phone faster.
Also, the thickness of this device is just about 8.6mm uni-body design which makes it ultra-slim and easy to hold - whether you use it with both hands or in one-handed mode.
Camera
Speaking of cameras, the itel P36 has a total of three cameras to serve your photography needs. It has a decent 8MP selfie camera housed in a water drop notch at the top of the screen. The rear also is an 8MP camera, a depth sensor camera to assist your portrait and Bokeh shots, and a quad-LED flash to brighten up your low-light photos.
The itel P36 features an easy-to-use camera interface that features various camera modes such as the AI Beauty mode backed up by AI to automatically adjust and beautify your skin. The overall camera performance on this device is good for its price range and it's worth sharing on most platforms you choose.
A Quad-core processor with 16GB Internal storage
Powering the itel P36 is a Quad-core Spreadtrum UNISOC SC7731E processor clocked at 1.3GHz CPU speed, a 16GB internal storage, and 1GB RAM. Thanks to the Android™ 9 Pie (Go edition) on this device, it comes with some light apps to compensate for its performance. Also, you can as well expand the storage up to 64GB placing an SD card into the dedicated slot.
To get the best experience and make the itel P36 snappy for you, we recommend installing apps like the popular Facebook and Messenger Lite, Twitter Lite, TikTok Lite, Uber Lite, and some light-sized games that you can easily install on the Play Store.
5000mAh battery + AI Power Master.
The itel P36 is powered by a huge 5000mAh battery, and that's superb on an entry-level smartphone. Initially, you should expect something like that since the itel P-series itself is a power-focused series, and that's one of the reasons that makes the itel P36 a good budget phone. Especially if your job requires you to be connected to your customers all-day, the itel P36 will surely serve you well without having to always reach out to your charger mid-day. The itel P36 would surely last you up to two days on fair usage, and at least a day if you're always on it.
Thanks to the AI Power Master on this device, you could further optimize the battery usage to last up to 3-days when you turn on the standard power saving or ultra-power-saving mode. Let's say you're on a business trip and your battery is running out, just activate the Ultra Power Saving mode and sit back while AI Power Master works out things for you.
