itel A70: A 256 GB entry phone that undercuts almost everything.
SpecEagle Editorial·Mar 2024·$80·Score 40/100
A70's headline is a 256 GB option on a phone that costs around $80 — a number that turns heads in price-first markets. The slow Unisoc chip and 3 GB base are the inevitable cost. For storage-hungry buyers at the absolute bottom of the market it delivers a unique pitch.
