Last year itel Mobile had a major rebranding initiative with a fresh logo and brand identity. According to the company, the move signals a pivotal moment in the brand’s history, blending modern aesthetics with its core mission to meet the technological needs of underserved markets.
After its rebranding announcement, before wrapping up the year, at the tail of 2023, the company also announced a new set of handsets, the itel P55, in its P-series. The P55 series comes in four variants, P55 5G, P55+, P55T, and P55 — however, only the P55T is currently available in Uganda.
A representative in itel Mobile Uganda has informed PC Tech Magazine that the P55+ will be available in the Ugandan market next month as she also emphasized that only the P55T and P55+ will be in the Ugandan market. There was no comment as to why the other variants won’t be sold in the Ugandan market.
itel’s P55T represents a significant leap in delivering state-of-the-art mobile experiences to users. The seamless integration of itel’s affordability with cutting-edge features ensures users can expect an unparalleled smartphone encounter that combines performance and functionality without compromise.
