Features & Specifications

Design

The itel RS4 adopts a practical design approach. The back panel is crafted from plastic, making it lightweight but sacrificing the premium feel of glass-backed phones. The upside? A textured finish that enhances grip, especially during intense gaming sessions. A vertical camera module houses the rear camera system and an LED flash. The power button and volume rockers are conveniently positioned on the right side for easy access. A fingerprint sensor integrated into the power button provides secure unlocking. The bottom houses the USB-C charging port, a welcome 3.5mm headphone jack for gamers, and a single speaker. Overall, the design prioritizes functionality and comfort over flashy aesthetics.

Durability

The itel RS4 lacks an official IP rating for water and dust resistance. While some competitors offer such protection, the itel RS4 relies on build quality for everyday wear and tear. The plastic construction is less prone to shattering than glass, but scratches are still a possibility. The display is protected by unspecified scratch-resistant glass, offering some level of safeguard. For gamers who might be more prone to accidental drops, investing in a protective case is highly recommended for added peace of mind.

Camera

The itel RS4 features a dual-camera system on the back: a 50MP main sensor and an 8MP secondary sensor. In good lighting conditions, the main sensor captures decent photos with acceptable detail and color reproduction. However, image quality can suffer when zoomed in, and low-light performance is underwhelming. The purpose of the 8MP secondary sensor isn’t entirely clear; it might assist with portrait mode or depth effects, but information is limited. The 8MP front-facing camera is sufficient for basic selfies and video calls.

Display

The itel RS4 boasts a 6.56-inch HD+ IPS LCD display. While the resolution isn’t the highest, the phone redeems itself with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. This translates to smoother scrolling, animations, and especially gameplay compared to traditional 60Hz displays. The viewing angles are decent for an LCD panel, but colors might appear slightly washed out compared to AMOLED displays found in some competitors. Overall, the display prioritizes a smooth gaming experience over exceptional visual fidelity.

Processor

The itel RS4 is powered by the Unisoc Tiger T618 processor, a chipset designed for budget smartphones with a focus on gaming performance. Combined with 12GB of RAM (achieved through a combination of physical RAM and memory fusion technology that utilizes a portion of storage space), the phone delivers smooth performance for most popular games at medium to high graphics settings. Users who enjoy graphically demanding titles might need to lower settings for optimal performance. For everyday tasks like browsing the web and social media, the phone handles them with ease.

Connectivity

The itel RS4 covers the essential connectivity options. It supports dual 4G SIM slots, allowing you to have two separate phone numbers on the same device. Wi-Fi connectivity ensures you can connect to the internet at home or on the go. Bluetooth allows you to connect wireless headphones, speakers, and other peripherals. While some competitors might offer features like NFC or 5G connectivity, the itel RS4 focuses on the core functionalities at its price point.

Memory

The itel RS4 comes in a single memory configuration: 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. The 12GB of RAM, achieved through memory fusion technology, ensures smooth multitasking and app performance. The 256GB of storage provides ample space for games, apps, photos, and videos. However, if you require even more storage, the phone thankfully supports expandable storage via a microSD card slot, allowing you to expand the storage

Battery

The 5000 mAh non-removable battery supports 45W wired charging, promising 80% charge in just 30 minutes.

OS

The RS4 runs Android 13 out of the box.
