Itel has spent years building a name for itself in the budget phone space, and that reputation is well earned. Most people do not expect much from a camera at this price range, but the brand has been steadily closing that gap, pushing 50 megapixel sensors and wide apertures down into phones that cost a fraction of what flagship devices demand.
This list covers the top five Itel phones with the best camera quality the brand currently offers. Each entry breaks down the actual hardware, from aperture size to video recording capability, so you know exactly what each phone delivers before you spend your money.
Quick Links
Itel Super 26 Ultra
The Itel Super 26 Ultra sits at the top of this list as the most imaging focused phone Itel currently offers. The rear module is built around a 50 megapixel main camera with an f/1.6 aperture, a wide opening that pulls in more light during daytime and indoor shooting. That main sensor is paired with a secondary macro camera and a supportive auxiliary lens, giving the phone a bit more versatility for close up and detail shots.
On the video side, the rear setup records up to 2K resolution at 30 frames per second. The front camera is just as capable, with a 32 megapixel wide angle selfie sensor that also shoots video up to 2K. Rounding out the package is a 6000mAh battery and a 144Hz curved AMOLED display, which makes the Super 26 Ultra one of the most well equipped phones Itel has released for both photography and everyday use.
Itel S25 Ultra
The Itel S25 Ultra brings a sleek, modern build to the lineup with its 3D curved display layout. The main rear sensor is a 50 megapixel shooter with an f/1.6 aperture, handling standard wide angle shots with the same light gathering advantage as the Super 26 Ultra. The primary lens supports autofocus along with digital zoom up to 10x, which gives it more reach than a typical budget camera setup. A secondary macro shooter and a ring LED flash round out the rear configuration.
For selfies, the S25 Ultra uses a 32 megapixel sensor with a 22mm wide focal length, supporting 1440p video capture. The phone is built on a 6.78 inch curved AMOLED display and runs Android 14, putting it on fairly current software footing for its price category. Between the digital zoom, the ring flash, and the curved screen, the S25 Ultra stands out as a phone built for people who want a more complete camera experience without stepping into flagship pricing.
Itel S25
The Itel S25 is the standard version in the series, and it carries over the same core camera arrangement in a flat body frame instead of the curved design found on the Ultra model. It uses the exact same 50 megapixel primary rear camera with an f/1.6 aperture, alongside an auxiliary sensor for added shooting flexibility.
On the front, the S25 retains the 32 megapixel selfie shooter, capable of recording crisp 1440p and 1080p video at 30 frames per second. The standard S25 keeps the camera performance that made the Ultra appealing while trimming back on the curved display and a few of the extra rear sensors, which makes it a solid pick for anyone who wants the same image quality in a more familiar flat screen body.
Itel City 200
The Itel City 200 is the budget conscious entry on this list, made for light, everyday content creation. The back of the device uses a unibody metallic design housing a 50 megapixel Super Clear camera setup. It does not include the wide aperture glass found on the premium S and Super lines, but the high megapixel count still produces clear shots and social media pictures in well lit conditions.
The City 200 also brings a 120Hz smooth refresh rate screen, which is a notable inclusion at this price point, along with an IP65 durability rating for added resistance to dust and water exposure. For shoppers who want a dependable camera phone without spending much, the City 200 covers the basics well.
Itel S23 Plus
The Itel S23 Plus has become something of a milestone device for the brand, bringing a premium aesthetic down to a highly accessible price point on platforms like Jumia Nigeria. The back panel holds a 50 megapixel primary camera configured with a wide f/1.6 aperture, the same large aperture glass found on the Super 26 Ultra and S25 Ultra. That wide aperture helps preserve clarity when shooting casual indoor portraits or daylight street scenes.
The S23 Plus uses pixel binning technology to compress data into sharp images, and it pairs the main sensor with a secondary depth sensor for basic background blurring effects in portrait shots. For social media content, the front punch hole houses a 32 megapixel selfie camera that handles clean video recording for vlogs. The whole package sits inside a curved display body, giving it a look that punches above its price.
Itel has clearly settled on 50 megapixel sensors as the standard across its better phones, but the differences between these five models come down to the details surrounding that sensor. The Super 26 Ultra leads the pack with its 144Hz curved AMOLED display and dual 2K video capability on both front and rear cameras. The S25 Ultra brings 10x digital zoom and a ring flash into the mix, while the standard S25 delivers the same core image quality in a simpler flat screen design.
The City 200 proves that even Itel’s budget tier can produce clean, usable photos without the wide aperture glass found on the higher end models, and the S23 Plus continues to be one of the most talked about phones in the brand’s lineup for good reason. Whatever your budget, there is an Itel phone here with a camera setup built to match it.
