We have also gotten a marketing image of a smartphone, believed to be the device with ultra-fast charging capabilities. The caption reads “Power Play”, and we see the phone with a flat display and punch-hole camera on top, and the power key and volume buttons on the right side. The battery percentage and supercharge is also displayed on top with the selfie camera. At the back, there’s a dual camera setup with the sensors aligned vertically. The new itel phone also appears to have flat edges.
