SHENZHEN, China — May 16, 2025:
Itel, the global smart life brand, has launched the CITY 100, the debut model in its new CITY smartphone series, engineered specifically for Generation Z. Offering high performance, integrated AI, and sleek aesthetics, the CITY 100 marks a major step forward in making advanced smartphone technology accessible to young users at an affordable price.
Living up to its slogan “Fun, Yet Strong,” the CITY 100 features a minimalist 7.65mm unibody design with an ultra-slim 6.75-inch HD+ display. Users will enjoy a 90Hz refresh rate, 700 nits peak brightness, and an 83% wide color gamut—perfect for vibrant and smooth viewing, even under bright sunlight.
The device is IP64-certified for dust and water resistance, and built to endure daily wear and tear. A high-capacity 5200mAh battery supports 18W fast charging, while a four-year battery warranty and a 60-month performance guarantee underscore the phone’s long-term value. In select regions, Itel includes a free magnetic speakerphone, further enhancing the device’s appeal.
At the heart of the CITY 100 is DeepSeek R1, Itel’s new AI engine, delivering a range of intelligent features that redefine what a budget phone can do. Users can convert text into personalized wallpapers, stylize images with creative AI filters, and utilize powerful tools such as AI shopping assistants, instant translation, voice noise reduction, handwriting recognition, and image-to-text conversion.
This AI integration reflects Itel’s commitment to empowering the next generation with creative tools and seamless digital experiences. CITY 100 users can enjoy not only reliable hardware but also a smarter and more personalized way to engage with the world.
Designed as more than just a phone, the CITY 100 is positioned as a lifestyle companion for expressive, connected, and forward-thinking young people. With its blend of fashion, function, and innovation, the CITY 100 offers strong competition to similarly priced smartphones on the global market.
With the CITY 100, Itel continues its mission to democratize smart technology—bridging the gap between advanced AI capabilities and budget-friendly access in an ever-evolving digital world.
