Key Highlights
• Military-grade durability: Itel A100 4G comes with MIL-STD-810H certification and IPX4 splash resistance
• Competitive pricing: Starts at ₹6,799 for 3GB RAM; ₹7,499 for 4GB variant

Itel has officially unveiled its latest affordable smartphone, the A100 4G, in India. The phone is positioned as a rugged yet modern device for users who want strong performance at a pocket-friendly price. Starting at ₹6,799, it promises military-grade durability and a slick 90Hz display—rare at this price point.
Entering the competitive Indian budget segment, Itel aims to attract buyers looking for a sturdy smartphone that doesn’t compromise on essentials. The A100 4G’s design even borrows from premium aesthetics, resembling the OnePlus 13s, yet remains strikingly accessible for everyday users.
What Makes the Itel A100 4G Stand Out?
Unlike most budget handsets, the Itel A100 4G carries full MIL-STD-810H certification, ensuring better resistance to drops, shocks, and harsh environments. Combined with IPX4 splash protection, it offers more reliability for outdoor use or unpredictable weather conditions.
Under the hood, performance comes from the UniSoC T7100 chipset paired with up to 4GB RAM and 64GB storage. Moreover, users can activate up to 8GB virtual RAM expansion, which helps with multitasking. The phone boots Itel OS 15 based on Android 15, thereby giving access to fresher privacy tools and smoother interface transitions.
Display and Camera: Budget-Friendly Yet Functional
The smartphone’s 6.6-inch HD+ IPS LCD provides a 90Hz refresh rate, creating smoother scrolling and animations. With 720 x 1,612 resolution and 269PPI pixel density, the visuals appear crisp enough for apps, videos, and daily tasks. Meanwhile, its 180Hz touch sampling rate adds extra responsiveness for gaming or typing.
On the camera front, the 8-megapixel rear sensor accompanied by an LED flash captures usable shots in daylight. Up front, the 5-megapixel selfie camera supports basic video calls and selfies. Although simple, the setup aligns with the phone’s budget focus and maximizes efficiency for quick photos and messaging apps.
How Does It Handle Communication Without Signal?
Interestingly, Itel introduces a new Ultralink feature that lets users connect with other Itel devices even when network signals are unavailable. Through this method, the phone tries to create emergency peer-to-peer calling — a forward-thinking addition for users in remote or low-coverage regions.
Pricing, Colors, and Battery Life
The Itel A100 4G arrives in Silk Green, Pure Black, and Titanium Gold finishes. The 3GB/64GB variant costs ₹6,799, while the 4GB model is priced at ₹7,499. Consumers can find the phone at retail outlets nationwide, and notably, Itel offers a free screen replacement within 100 days of purchase — adding more reliability to its value proposition.
Power comes from a 5,000mAh battery supporting 10W wired charging, ensuring day-long operation. Connectivity options include 4G LTE, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, a 3.5mm audio jack, IR blaster, and USB Type-C port.
Overall, the Itel A100 4G blends military-grade toughness with practical specs, creating a fresh competitor in the entry-level segment of India’s booming smartphone market.
