itel P55 5G Price, Specs, and Best Deals

itel P55 5G is the first 5G phone from itel and one of the most affordable 5G phones in the market right now. It is the 5G variant of the itel P55. It features a more powerful processor than other members of the P55 series, which makes everything run smoothly but could also drain the battery a little bit faster depending on your usage pattern. itel P55 5G features a 6.6-inch display, 50MP dual rear camera, and a 5000 mAh battery with 18W fast charging capacity.

Design

itel P55 5G design is a bit different from the other members of the P55 series. The first notable difference from the front is that while the other models in the P55 series like the itel P55T have a punch hole for the front camera, the 5G model comes with a water-drop notch.

On the back, it also does away with the iPhone-inspired three-camera ring design. It comes with two camera rings, with the lower camera ring housing the auxiliary AI lens and the LED flash. The back shares a somewhat similar look as the itel P55 Plus, though not exactly the same.

The left side of the Android phone is where you would find the SIM tray for two Nano SIM cards and a memory card. On the right side, you will find the volume rocker and the power button that also serves as the fingerprint scanner.

Like on the other members of the P55 series, the bottom side houses the USB Type C port, the microphone/mouthpiece, the 3.5mm headphone jack, and the speaker grill.

In the box, itel included all the accessories you will need to get started like the phone case, an 18W fast charger, an earphone, a USB Type C cable, and a SIM ejector pin.

Display and Camera

itel P55 5G features a 6.6 inches IPS display with a resolution of 720 x 1640 pixels and a 90 Hz refresh rate. The viewing quality is at par with other members of the P55 series.

However, because this affordable Android phone comes with a more powerful processor, it appears to run more smoothly than its other siblings.

itel P55 5G has a 50-megapixel dual rear camera with LED flash, autofocus, and full HD video recording. It has an 8-megapixel front-facing camera. Camera might not be the strong suit of this phone, but the photos are okay considering that the top-selling point of this phone is that it is an affordable 5G phone.

Hardware and Software

The processor is where the itel P55 5G blew the rest of the series out of the water. Its MediaTek Dimensity 6080 is leaps and bounds ahead of the Unisoc T606 chipset provided for the rest of the series in terms of performance.

The chipset is built on a 6-nanometer architecture with an octa-core processor consisting of two cores of Cortex-A76 clocked at up to 2.4GHz and six cores of Cortex-A55 clocked at up to 2.0GHz.

itel P55 5G is available in three variants. The entry-level variant has 64GB ROM and 4GB RAM. You also have the option of a model with 128GB ROM and 6GB RAM and another model with 256GB ROM and 8GB RAM. You can expand your available storage using a memory card.

Furthermore, you can also expand the onboard RAM by up to 100% using the Memory Fusion feature. This allows you to add as much virtual RAM as the provided physical RAM to boost performance.

This combined with the powerful processor makes the itel P55 5G the top performer of the series. The itel phone runs on Android 13 out of the box.

However, all this power puts a slight strain on battery life. Though, the Dimensity 6080 is more efficient than the T606, the power and the 5G speed it offers means you might be tempted to use your phone for more power-hungry tasks, which will drain the 5000 mAh battery faster. Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing is for you to decide.

The biggest selling point of the itel P55 5G is the 5G connectivity. This means you can download and upload content faster, as well as stream videos without any lag on 5G networks.
