itel S25 Ultra: A budget phone with a curved AMOLED that mimics the flagship Ultra look.

SpecEagle Editorial·Feb 2025·$160·Score 56/100

itel S25 Ultra borrows the Ultra naming and a curved AMOLED to look far pricier than $160. The Helio G100 is genuinely capable; the cosmetic aux lens and 4G-only modem are the realities. Strong styling-for-money in emerging markets.
