Itel‘s first 5G smartphone is headed to the Philippines soon. And like the Transsion Holdings brand’s previous offerings, the handset is expected to have an aggressive price tag on the local market.
The Itel P55 5G has been listed on Itel’s official Shopee store, and the listing teases a sub-P5,000 (around $90 converted) price tag for the upcoming budget phone at launch. This would make it one of the cheapest 5G models around, and even cheaper than most 4G-ready smartphones in the country. Locally, it will come in Galaxy Blue and Mint Green colors.

The chipset is no slouch, too. The lone configuration in the Philippines pairs a 6nm MediaTek Dimensity 6080 5G chipset with 6GB of LPDDR4x RAM and 128GB of UFS 2.2 storage. If you’re not familiar, this SoC is essentially a rebadged Dimensity 810, which is a capable 5G processor with Mali-G57 graphics.
Up front, the Itel P55 5G sports a 6.6-inch HD+ LCD display that runs up to 90Hz, alongside an 8-megapixel selfie camera in a waterdrop notch. The back of the device sees a 50-megapixel main camera joined by a filler sensor. And there’s a 5,000mAh battery here that supports 18-watt fast charging over a USB-C port.
