GoSolo Verdict
The Itel Zeno 100 is a bare-bones budget phone that does the essentials—calls, messages, light browsing—without pretense. At 60 EUR it is aggressively cheap, but the entry-level chip and 267ppi screen demand acceptance of real compromises in speed and clarity.
Strengths · 3
- 5000 mAh battery and slim 8.5 mm body are a genuine pairing—enough capacity in a phone that fits pockets without the bulk rivals force at this price
- Dual SIM, microSD slot, and drop resistance to 1.2m cover the practical needs of buyers in emerging markets who switch networks often or need storage expansion
- 90Hz IPS LCD display on a 6.6-inch frame means scrolling feels cleaner than the 60Hz you might expect at this price point
Trade-offs · 3
- Unisoc T7100 at 1.8 GHz struggles visibly with multitasking and heavier apps—not just slow, but stuttering when multiple windows or background tasks pile up
- 267ppi density on a 6.6-inch screen leaves text and icons noticeably blurry next to rivals; the Go edition OS helps, but the screen itself is a step below what most sub-100 EUR phones now manage
- 8 MP camera with LED flash is dated even for budget class; produces soft, colour-washed stills in anything but bright daylight
