itel is raising the bar for “premium” with the introduction of the S25 Ultra, a smartphone that blends sleek design, powerful performance, and exceptional durability—all for under 8,000 pesos. Featuring a stunning 3D Curved AMOLED Display, the S25 Ultra is the ideal choice for Filipinos seeking a stylish yet tough device that delivers both quality and value at an affordable price.
Immersive 3D Curved AMOLED Display with Ultra Protection
The itel S25 Ultra’s standout feature is its 6.78-inch 3D-curved AMOLED display, a design typically found in mid-range to high-end smartphones, but rarely in entry-level models. When the screen lights up, users are greeted with vibrant, crisp visuals, boasting a peak brightness of 1400 nits and an FHD+ resolution of 2436 x 1080. With an impressive 94% screen-to-body ratio, this display offers a premium viewing experience, all while maintaining an affordable price. Additionally, the display is equipped with ultra protection, ensuring durability and long-lasting performance.
The itel S25 Ultra features a stylish triple-camera deco design on its back, complemented by a natural textured color finish. Available in Bromo Black, Meteor Titanium, and Komodo Ocean, the phone boasts an ultra-slim profile of just 6.9mm and weighs only 163 grams.
Although curved screens are often seen as fragile, the S25 Ultra is equipped with an extra layer of protection. Its Corning Gorilla Glass 7i, a material commonly used in flagship phones, enhances resistance to drops and scratches. In laboratory tests, it has successfully withstood drops from a height of 1.5 meters, proving its durability and reliability.
Durability and Protection
For added peace of mind, itel offers a 100-day free screen replacement for accidental damage, ensuring users can enjoy their device worry-free. The S25 Ultra’s back panel is reinforced with five-layer TitanShield Protection technology, offering robust defense against drops and impacts. Additionally, the phone holds an IP64 rating, making it resistant to water splashes and accidental liquid spills. With wet hands touch control, users can operate the screen even when moist—ideal for gamers or anyone with sweaty hands.
Camera Performance
The S25 Ultra is equipped with a 50MP rear camera that captures sharp, detailed images during the day and performs decently in low light. The standout feature, however, is its 32MP front camera, which delivers impressive selfie quality for its price. The phone also supports up to 2K resolution for video recording, ensuring crisp, detailed footage in daylight. For the best videography experience, users should consider using a tripod or gimbal to reduce camera shake.
All-Around Performance and Longevity
The S25 Ultra offers impressive all-around performance, backed by itel’s 60-month fluency guarantee. This ensures a smooth, lag-free experience for up to five years with proper usage, bringing flagship-level longevity to an entry-level smartphone. The phone also supports two generations of Android OS updates, ensuring continued software enhancements and support over time.
Storage, Performance, and Entertainment Features
The itel S25 Ultra offers ample storage for casual users, featuring 256GB of UFS storage and 16GB (8+8) of RAM. Powered by the octa-core T620 processor with ARM Cortex-A75, it ensures smooth performance and supports wall-penetrating super Wi-Fi for ultra-low latency, delivering seamless connectivity and an enhanced user experience.
Equipped with a 5,000mAh battery, a common standard in smartphones today, the S25 Ultra ensures all-day usage without the worry of running out of power. It also comes with certified DTS audio technology, providing an immersive sound experience for music, movies, and more. With its impressive screen, solid battery life, superior sound, and reliable chipset, the S25 Ultra is perfect for casual entertainment.
