Itel

Overview

itel is the smartphone and feature-phone brand of Chinese technology firm Transsion Holdings (which also owns brands like Tecno and Infinix). The itel brand was established around 2007. Its headquarters are in Hong Kong/China (the Wikipedia page lists it as Hong Kong–based Chinese manufacturer). It has research & development centres in China (Shenzhen, Shanghai) and manufacturing and assembly in several emerging markets. For example, one of its manufacturing plants is in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, with capacity of around 12 million phones per year.
From early on, itel targeted emerging markets rather than saturated premium-markets. By its marketing, it claims a footprint in 50 + emerging markets globally. For example, in Africa it sold over 77 million devices in 2017. As for series, itel offers budget smartphones and feature-phones under series names like A-series (e.g., itel A50) and S-series (e.g., itel S23, S24) which cater to entry-level and value-conscious buyers. The brand underscores the motto of “Enjoy Better Life” and aims to democratise technology by making mobile devices affordable.
In Pakistan, itel entered the market around 2019. For distribution, itel signed an agreement with Pakistani distributor Airlink Communications Ltd so as to expand its feature-phone and smartphone network across the country; Airlink also handles customer care services. The Pakistani website lists contact and office details (e.g., Karachi address) for local support. However, there have been some reports that in Pakistan the company faced difficulties — for example, manufacturing commitments with local firms reportedly resulted in unsold stock and losses.
