iTel S17 is the direct successor to the S16 smartphone launched back in 2020. The newcomer extended the display from 6.5-inches used on the older model, to a 6.6-inches. The screen still maintains a dewdrop notch on the head, which is where the front-facing camera is kept, and the screen panel is still IPS with 720 x 1612 pixels resolution.
The S17 is powered by a 1.3GHz Quad-core Spreadtrum SC7731E along with ARM Mali T820 MP1. It has 1GB RAM and 16GB of internal storage, expandable up to 128 GB via microSD card.
The device comes with a triple camera sensor at the back, combining an 8 MP Main snapper, 2MP depth, and a third AI sensor, while a single 8-megapixel selfie lens is kept in the notch upfront.
You are also getting a rear-placed fingerprint scanner and support for dual 3G SIMs. Thankfully, battery power has increased from 4000mAh on the older model to a 5000mAh battery, while the OS is now Google Android 11 (Go Edition). The table below contains the full specs of the iTel S17 smartphone.
