Itel City 100 Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
![G.S Vasan]()
Verdict
The itel City 100 offers a slim design, reliable battery life, and good enough cameras for its price. While it lacks 5G support and runs dated Android 14, its feature-rich software and decent everyday performance make it a worthwhile budget pick.
Pros
- Clean, compact design
- Big battery
- Decent cameras
- Feature-rich software
Cons
- Dated Android version
- No 5G support
Clean and compact design
+
itel City 100 comes in three colours, namely, the Navy Blue, the Pure Titanium, and the Fairy Purple. We received the Blue colour variant, which looks chic thanks to an iridescent lustre on the back panel. The vertical rear camera stack with its glossy finish complements the overall look. I appreciate the side frame, and the buttons also match the colour well.

Good display, average speaker
+
The itel City 100 has a waterdrop notch, slim bezels on the left and right sides, a slightly thicker bezel on the top, and an even broader bezel on the bottom. The screen within this perimeter is a 6.75-inch IPS LCD with a 90Hz refresh rate, HD+ resolution and 260 PPI. The itel phone is comparable to the Lava Shark 5G in all these aspects. Even in brightness, the difference isn't much, but the itel phone is slightly brighter. Still, when outside, you may need to hover your palm over the screen to block harsh sunlight and see better.

Mostly capable cameras
+
On the back, the itel City 100 has a 13MP camera, and on the front, it has an 8MP camera. The setup is the same on the Lava Shark 5G.

Decent performer
+
The itel City 100 runs on a 12nm Unisoc T7250 SoC with two Cortex-A75 performance cores at 1.8GHz and six Cortex-A55 efficiency cores at 1.6GHz. On the other hand, the Lava Shark 5G packs a 6nm Unisoc T765 SoC with up to 2.3GHz frequency.

Feature-rich software
+
itel City 100 ships with Android 14, which is old at this point, and the phone may not get a major OS upgrade at all. The Lava Shark 5 5G, on the other hand, ships with a relatively new Android 15 OS and also assures at least quarterly security updates for two years.

Big battery
+
The itel City 100 has a 5,200mAh battery, which is bigger than the 5,000mAh cell inside the Lava Shark 5G. Still, in our PCMark battery test, the Shark performed a bit better. However, in another battery drop test involving YouTube playback, BGMI, Call of Duty Mobile, and Real Racing 3 gameplay, the itel City 100 proved to be more power-efficient across all tasks. On average, it drops 1.25 percent less battery than the Lava Shark 5G per session for 30 minutes, a difference that can translate to noticeably longer usage over the course of a full charge.
