Highlights itel Zeno 10 has been officially launched in India at ₹5,999. The phone will be available in two colour variants - Phantom Crystal and Opal Purple. Indian budget smartphone maker itel is back with another under 6000 device for entry-level users. To give you a better look at the phone, here’s our hands-on itel Zeno 10 review. itel Zeno 10 - Key Features itel Zeno 10 - Key Features 56-Inch HD+ IPS Display UNISOC T6.3 Octacore Processor 3GB RAM with Memory Future Technology 64GB Internal Storage 8MP AI Rear Camera 5MP Front Camera 5000mAh Battery with 10W Charging Side-mounted Fingerprint Scanner Android 14 OS itel Zeno 10 - Pros & Cons Pros Cons ● Affordable ● Good design and build quality ● Nice display ● Good battery capacity ● Lowlight camera performance ● Touch response issues itel Zeno 10 - Unboxing itel Zeno 10 - Design and Build Quality itel Zeno 10 - Design and Build Quality Itel Zeno 10 sports a sleek design with a stylish back panel that gives a very modern look to the phone. We had the Phantom Crystal colour variant for this review and it is a nice dark grey colour hue with a shimmery wave pattern. The phone has a flat-edge design with a boxy body and three rear camera cutouts that don’t stick out much. We liked the subtle design of the camera module as it goes with the modern vibe of the phone. We also found the phone to be extremely lightweight with quite a slim profile, making it quite an easy-to-hold device. Itel Zeno 10 includes a 3.5mm headphone jack, which is placed at the bottom of the phone alongside the USB-C port and speakers. The volume rockers and the power button are on the right and the sim trey is on the left. itel Zeno 10 - Display itel Zeno 10 - Display itel Zeno 10 comes with a large 6.6-inch HD+ IPS display with ith 90Hz refresh rate and 720 x 1612 resolution. The water drop-notch style display has thick bezels on all sizes with a huge chin, but in our experience, it doesn’t really disturb the viewing experience. The display features a dynamic bar that can be set up to show useful information such as face unlock, call, recorder and charging animation. It is an interesting feature to have that some users might like. The display performance is good for everyday experience and basic smartphone tasks. However, Overall, the display is decent and you can rely on it for basic everyday smartphone tasks such as social media scrolling or even some video streaming. itel Zeno 10 - Performance and Software itel Zeno 10 - Performance and Software itel Zeno 10 packs a UNISOC T6.3 octa-core processor. This chipset isn’t the most powerful of processors but it supports the smartphone well. It is paired with 3GB/4GB RAM and 64GB internal storage configuration. Itel has also added memory fusion technology that can boost the RAM to up to 12GB for faster and smoother performance. The phone handles itself well for basic tasks on apps such as Social Media Apps, WhatsApp, YouTube, Gmail and more. There is obviously a limit to how much it can multitask smoothly. We tried to open a couple of apps together and it was smoother than we imagined. However, open a few more apps at the same time and it starts acting out. You will notice lags and screen hang-ups. We also don’t think this phone is designed for gaming. Below are the Benchmark test results - The phone runs on Android 14 right out of the box, which is great for a smartphone in this segment. The UI is clean and there are some pre-loaded apps that you can easily get rid of in case you don’t need them. itel Zeno 10 - Camera Performance itel Zeno 10 - Camera Performance itel Zeno 10 carries an 8MP AI rear camera with 5MP front camera for selfies and video calls. The camera performance is decent for a phone in this segment. You can’t expect extra-ordinary quality here but most photos that we shot in bright daylight came out well. The outdoor photos are quite clear with good colour balance keeping the natural tone alive. The phone struggles in low light conditions when increased processing time. This means you cannot quickly get a clear photo. The phone needs to be steady for a few seconds before it can process a somewhat clear photo when it is not daytime or in dim lighting conditions. The selfie camera does its job but the quality is just about average. Here are some camera samples that we shot using the itel Zeno 10 phone. itel Zeno 10 Day Camera Samples itel Zeno 10 Night Camera Samples itel Zeno 10 Daylight Video itel Zeno 10 Night Video The phone comes with a lot of camera modes including Portrait Mode, Wide Selfie Mode, HDR Mode, PRO Mode, Time Lapse, Panorama, Short Video and AR Shots. All in all, itel Zeno 10 camera is not the best but just make sure you have good lighting and the phone will capture clear pictures. itel Zeno 10 - Battery and Charging itel Zeno 10 - Battery and Charging The itel Zeno 10 boasts a 5,000mAh battery that offers a solid battery backup. It easily lasts for an entire day even with average use. It comes with 10W charging support that might seem a bit too slow at times. However, for a phone of this segment, this is quite the usual charging speed you will get with most competing phones. We were able to get the phone from under 10 per cent battery to almost 90 per cent in about 1 hour 55 minutes. Conclusion Verdict - Should You Buy itel Zeno 10? itel Zeno 10 is a good under 6000 smartphone specifically designed for budget-conscious users. It comes with a good design and decent build quality, features a nice HD+ display that can support casual viewing requirements, and offers a reliable battery backup. This is an entry-level phone, and keeping the limitations in mind, the Zeno 10 delivers on its promises. So, if you are looking for a really affordable yet solid everyday device, you can definitely consider itel Zeno 10 once before making any choice.
