I unboxed the Itel Super 26 Ultra seven days ago, used it as my only phone, and didn’t look at the spec sheet again until today. Below are the plain-English facts my eyes, hands, and battery log saw—no copy-paste, no buzzwords, just the stuff you’d ask a friend before spending your 10-grand.
First 10 minutes out of the box
- The screen is the star: 6.78-inch curved AMOLED, 144 Hz. Swiping through WhatsApp felt like the phone was reading my mind.
- Weight: 198 g on my kitchen scale—lighter than the Redmi Note 13 (201 g) I was using.
- Plastic frame, but the purple colour shifts in sunlight; my niece asked if it was “a Samsung”.

Daily grind In Itel Super 26 Ultra
- Battery: 6 000 mAh. Unplugged at 7 a.m., still at 41 % by 11 p.m. with 7 h 12 min screen-on time (auto-brightness, 144 Hz locked).
- GPS: locked in 4 seconds on Google Maps; no weird “searching for signal” dance.
- Camera: 50 MP main. Daylight shots are social-media-ready; night shots need a steady hand—expect grain if you crop. Selfie cam is 32 MP, softer than Realme but good for Reels.
- Performance: Unisoc T7300. PUBG Mobile “Smooth-Extreme” runs at 60 fps; I felt a hiccup only once when I recorded and played.
- 8 GB RAM + 8 GB virtual RAM is marketing fluff; real RAM is 8 GB, but I never saw an app reload.
The “uh-oh” bits
- 18 W charger in 2025 feels like a 3-hour train delay. 0-50 % takes 46 minutes; 0-100 % takes 1 h 52 min.
- No 5G. If your city is switching off 4G next year, skip this.
- Single bottom speaker gets blocked when you game in landscape; stereo would have sealed the deal.
- Itel OS 15 is clean, but the “Hot Apps” folder still sneaks in during setup—delete once and it’s gone for good.
Price reality check
- India: ₹9 999 (8 GB + 128 GB) on Flipkart; ₹11 999 (256 GB).
- Bangladesh: 19 990 Tk in retail shops, no card offers.
- Pakistan: PKR 52 000 in Saddar, Karachi.
Bundles: free transparent case + pre-applied screen guard almost everywhere.
Who should actually buy it
- Students who want a big, smooth screen for Netflix and lecture PDFs.
- Backup/secondary phone users who need two-day battery.
- Parents upgrading from a 3-year-old Chinese phone—no learning curve.
- 5G hunters, mobile photographers, or anyone who flips phones every 8 months.
For ₹10k you’re getting a curved AMOLED, 144 Hz, and two-day juice—stuff we saw on ₹30k phones last year. Compromises (18 W charge, no 5G) are fair at this price. If those don’t bother you, close this tab and order; stocks vanish during festival sales.
