itel Zeno 100

Yes, it surprisingly does. It comes with an official MIL-STD-810H military-grade certification, which means it is built to survive accidental drops up to 1.2 meters and rough everyday handling.

The Ultralink feature is designed to keep you connected even when you are traveling through remote areas with absolutely no cellular network. It uses a proprietary communication technology to help send messages or stay linked when traditional signals fail. It is a lifesaver if you love trekking or frequently visit rural zones in India.

You get a 5000 mAh battery packed inside, which easily sails through a full day of heavy usage or up to two days if you are a light user. The only catch is that it supports standard 10W charging via USB Type-C, so it will take a little while to top it up from zero to 100%.

You absolutely can. The itel Zeno 100 comes built with a dedicated IR blaster on the top, allowing you to use your phone as a universal remote control. You just need to point it at your television, air conditioner, or setup box to manage them directly without hunting for physical remotes.

If you are looking for a heavy gaming device, this might not be the one for you. It runs on an entry-level Unisoc T7100 processor which handles daily multitasking, scrolling, and casual games quite smoothly thanks to its 90Hz refresh rate. However, graphic-intensive games like BGMI will experience noticeable lag and frame drops.

The smartphone ships out of the box with Android 15 (Go Edition) layered with itel OS 15. The Go Edition software is lightweight and optimized specifically for budget hardware, meaning it uses less memory and keeps the phone snappy. It also includes the Dynamic Bar feature that mimics a notification pill around the camera notch.

No, the itel Zeno 100 is strictly a 4G smartphone. While it will work perfectly fine with all major Indian telecom networks like Jio, Airtel, and Vi for calling and browsing, you will not be able to tap into the high-speed 5G bandwidths.

The camera setup is pretty basic, featuring an 8MP single rear sensor and a 5MP selfie camera. It is perfectly fine for quick daytime snaps, document scanning, or video calls, but do not expect high-detail night shots. Low-light photos tend to look quite noisy and lose sharpness quickly.

Yes, storage will not be an issue here. Even though the device comes with 64GB of internal storage, it features a dedicated microSD card slot that lets you expand it so you will have plenty of room to save your offline movies, music, and photos without running out of space.
