itel Power 70 Review: The Budget Battery King

The Itel Power 70 has quickly become a standout, primarily for its unrivaled battery life and budget-friendly price. Designed for users who dread constant charging, this phone aims to be a reliable everyday companion, especially in areas where power outages are common.

Unstoppable Power: A 10,000mAh Marvel

The Power 70’s defining feature is its colossal battery. It combines a 6,000mAh internal battery with an innovative 4,000mAh magnetic charging case, delivering a staggering total capacity of 10,000mAh. This means you can easily go days without needing a power outlet. Imagine up to 25 hours of TikTok or 162 hours of music playback on a single charge! While 18W fast charging takes about 2.5 to 3 hours for a full top-up, the sheer duration between charges makes this a minor point.

Built Tough, Designed Smart

Despite its massive battery, the Itel Power 70 maintains a decent feel at just 7.98mm thick and around 192 grams. It’s built for durability with an IP54 rating for dust and splash resistance, plus an included drop-resistant case. Itel even offers a 4-year battery health guarantee, showcasing their confidence. Key features include a convenient side-mounted fingerprint sensor, a USB Type-C port, and a welcome 3.5mm headphone jack.

Clear Views and Smooth Performance

The 6.67-inch HD+ IPS LCD offers a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and an impressive 700 nits peak brightness, ensuring good visibility even in bright sunlight. While not Full HD, it’s more than adequate for everyday Browse, social media, and video.

Powered by the MediaTek Helio G50 Ultimate processor and up to 16GB of RAM (8GB physical + 8GB virtual), the Power 70 handles daily tasks like Browse, texting, and streaming with ease. Running on Android 14 with itel OS 14, it offers a clean, up-to-date user experience. Storage is generous with up to 256GB, expandable via microSD.

Camera and Connectivity Essentials

The 13MP main camera takes decent photos in good lighting, while the 8MP front camera is fine for selfies and video calls. This isn’t a photography powerhouse, but it captures everyday moments adequately. Standard connectivity includes Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and dual SIM support.

Price and Verdict: Incredible Value

Priced around ₦120,000 to ₦135,000 in Nigeria, the Itel Power 70 offers exceptional value. It’s the ideal phone for anyone who needs unbeatable battery life and reliable performance on a budget. If you’re tired of your phone dying before the day is over, the Itel Power 70 is a strong contender.
