Design, Display, and Camera
The design of the itel A06 is very similar to the A50C. Available in champaign gold, blue dawn, and magic black, this itel phone features a clean design with a flat back and sides with rounded corners.
In the front, you will find a 6.56-inch display with a water-drop notch for the selfie camera. With 540 x 1280 pixels resolution, the display should offer a decent viewing experience for the price.
A 5-megapixel camera is provided on the waterdrop notch for taking selfies and face unlock. If you flip to the back, you will find two diagonal rings. The topmost ring houses the 8-megapixel camera while the other ring is where the fingerprint scanner is located.
On the left side is where you will find the SIM and memory card tray, while on the right side, you will find the power button and the volume rocker.
The bottom side hosts the speaker grill, the USB Type C port, the microphone/mouthpiece, and the 3.5mm headphone jack.
itel A06 comes with everything you need in the box. You get an earphone, a charger, a phone case, and a SIM ejector pin.
Hardware and Software
itel A06 is powered by an Unisoc SC7731E quad-core chipset built on 28 nm technology. This is the major difference with the A50C which features an octa-core Unisoc T603 built on a more efficient 12 nm technology.
This means that overall, the itel A06 is running a less powerful processor compared to the A50C. However, one area where the SC7731E beats the T603 is the GPU clock speed. This could explain why the display has more resolution for a more crispy view.
The chipset is paired with 2GB RAM, which is expandable by up to 2GB via the Memory Fusion feature (Virtual RAM). With 4GB RAM (2GB physical and 2GB virtual), the itel A06 should run smoothly for typical usage. 32GB of internal storage is provided on the smartphone with a dedicated memory card slot that can take up to 2TB.
itel A06 is loaded with Android 14 (Go Edition) out of the box. The software runs smoothly if you do not open a lot of apps at the same time.
It supports 4G LTE and Wi-Fi for fast internet access. It has a 4000 mAh battery with a 5W charging capacity.
