The Itel S23 is a series of Android-based smartphones developed and manufactured by Itel Mobile. This phone was announced in Indonesia in May 2023 for the S23 4G model,[3] and in September 2023 for the S23+ model.[4]
Design
The Itel S23 exhibits a modern, streamlined design that’s distinctive for an entry-level smartphone. The back panel has a sleek, flat finish with a glossy texture reminiscent of glass—especially notable in the white variant, which uniquely shifts color under UV light or direct sunlight, transitioning from white to a subtle purple hue.[5]
Technical specifications
Dimensions
The device is engineered to be ergonomic and well-balanced, with a dimension of 164 × 76 × 8 mm (with some variants noted as 165 × 76.3 × 8.6 mm). Weighing between 185 g and 195 g, the Itel S23 is designed for comfortable handheld use while maintaining a solid and premium feel.
Processor
Itel S23
The Itel S23 is powered by the Unisoc T606 chipset. It features an octa-core CPU configuration with 2 cores of Cortex-A75 and 6 cores of Cortex-A55, all clocked at about 1.6 GHz.
Itel S23+
The Itel S23+ steps up with the Unisoc Tiger T616 processor. It also has an octa-core setup but with faster cores: 2 cores of Cortex-A75 running at 2.0 GHz coupled with 6 Cortex-A55 cores at 1.8 GHz.
Display
The front of the Itel S23 is equipped by a 6.6-inch IPS LCD display and AMOLED, 500 nits for the S23+. The design incorporates a waterdrop notch that houses the front-facing camera, ensuring that the overall aesthetics remain clean. With a 90Hz refresh rate, the display offers smooth transitions and responsive touch interactions, enhancing the user experience without compromising on visual clarity.
The Itel S23+ comes with the Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection.
Camera
A circular camera module is prominently featured on the rear, housing a 50 MP with f/1.6 aperture primary camera along with an LED flash. This module is complemented by an additional decorative element that reinforces the overall design. On the front is a selfie camera with a MP of 8.
The Itel S23+ features a dual-camera module on the rear, consisting of the same 50 MP primary sensor with the same aperture and autofocus capabilities, alongside a 0.08 MP auxiliary lens. On the front is a selfie camera with an upgrade of 32 MP.
Battery
Both smartphones powered by a 5000 mAh lithium‑polymer battery that ensures extended usage throughout the day. Charging is facilitated via a USB Type‑C port supporting 10W (18W for S23+) wired charging, which is typical for entry‑level devices in its segment.
Software
The Itel S23 runs on Android 12 with the ItelOS 8.6.0 interface and the S23+ runs on Android 13 with the ItelOS interface.
