itel Mobiles, today introduced India’s cheapest phone with a waterdrop notch screen. Dubbed as the itel Vision 1, the phone offers an HD+ display, 4000mAh battery, rear-mounted fingerprint scanner and Face Unlock support. The handset is available in a single variant at just Rs 5,499 taking on the likes of Xiaomi Redmi 7A which is also currently available at Rs 5,499. The USP of itel Vision 1 is offline availability. For the unaware, itel Mobiles is a sub-brand of Transsion Holdings in India alongside the likes of Tecno Mobiles, Infinix and Spice Mobiles. While Infinix takes on the online space, Tecno and itel focus on the offline segment and the itel Vision 1 is also aimed at the same.
itel Vision 1: Specifications and Features
Going by the Rs 5,499 price tag, we can clearly say the itel Vision 1 is an entry-level handset aimed at taking on the Redmi 7A which is probably the go-to device right now under Rs 6,000. The itel Vision 1 flaunts a 6-inch HD+ screen with a resolution of 720×1560 pixels and 19.5:9 aspect ratio.

Cameras on the handset include an 8MP primary sensor on the back and a 0.08MP secondary sensor. On the front, we get a 5MP shooter for selfies. As mentioned, the itel Vision 1 offers a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner along with software-based Face Unlock feature.
