itel P65 Review

The itel P65 is a budget-friendly smartphone that impresses with its design and functionality, particularly for its price range, which is around $130 in dollars and between N145,000 – N165,000 in Nigerian Naira depending on the version you buy.

Design & Display

The P65 stands out with its unique “Cyber Mecha” back panel, inspired by mechanical armor aesthetics. This gives the phone a bold, futuristic look, appealing to fans of mecha-themed designs. However, the glossy finish tends to attract fingerprints, so using the included case is recommended​
​
It features a 6.7-inch IPS display with a 120Hz refresh rate, a rare offering for budget phones. While the HD+ resolution limits video streaming to 720p, the high refresh rate makes navigation smooth and responsive​

Performance & Storage

Powered by a Unisoc T615 chipset with 6/8GB RAM and 128/256GB storage, the P65 handles everyday tasks with ease. It’s also capable of running basic games like Genshin Impact, though only at lower graphics settings. The phone comes with Android 14 out of the box, but its performance is more geared toward casual use rather than intensive gaming​

Cameras

The P65 is equipped with a dual rear camera setup featuring a 50MP primary shooter. Although the camera isn’t groundbreaking, it performs decently for social media posts. The low-light performance is mediocre, and videos are limited to 1080p at 30fps, though it does include an Ultra Steady mode for video stabilization​.

Battery Life & Features

A 5000mAh battery powers the device, and it supports 18W fast charging, reaching 40% charge in 30 minutes. Notably, the P65 also includes a customizable “Flex Button” for shortcuts like turning on the flashlight or muting the phone​

Overall, the itel P65 is a well-rounded device for its price, offering a mix of decent performance, a high-refresh-rate display, and a striking design, making it a good choice for budget-conscious users.
