What’s new on itel A50 series

The itel A50C is a new model and it looks different from itel A50 and the predecessor itel A70, thanks to an iPhone 13-like rear camera island. The difference in design aside, both itel A50 and A50C have an 8MP AI dual rear camera setup and a 5MP front camera. The front and rear cameras are smaller in megapixel count than the itel A70‘s 13MP rear and 8MP front cameras. Compared to the itel A70 (with Android 13 Go), the newcomers boot the newer Android 14 Go edition.
