Editorial report

itel A23S technical sheet

The itel A23S is suited to buyers looking for a simple, lightweight phone, but its low display density is a notable trade-off. At 108 g, it weighs less than almost all phones of its time, a clear distinction for anyone prioritizing a low-weight device. The IPS LCD display measures 5 inches, but its 196 ppi is among the lowest densities of phones launched around the same time; at 10.5 mm, its thickness is also greater than that of most.

Its basic hardware pairs 2 GB of RAM with 32 GB of storage, both among the lowest figures of their time. Storage is expandable. The processor is a quad-core Unisoc SC9832E clocked at 1.4 GHz, and the phone runs Android 11. The 2 MP rear camera records video at 720p at 30 fps; its resolution is among the lowest of phones from its time. The front camera is 0.3 MP.

The 3020 mAh battery is also among the lowest-capacity batteries of its time. The phone supports Dual SIM and includes Wi-Fi 4, Bluetooth 4.2, GPS, FM radio and a 3.5 mm audio jack. The itel A23S is light, but overall it is among the weakest phones of its time, with an overall NeoScore of 2.0. It makes sense for buyers who prioritize a basic, lightweight phone; those looking for more display detail, memory or battery capacity should look elsewhere.
