Itel Zeno 100 looked like a OnePlus phone from behind. The successor doesn’t bring an original design either. Their new Itel Zeno 200 has a lot in common with the iPhone, design-wise. Of course, all of its hardware is entry-level, so you are paying a fraction of the price. This is everything you need to know about the Zeno 200.
This newcomer is an iPhone 17 Pro copycat. Not only did they rip off the camera bar and the center plate, but the entire color palette was brought over to the Itel Zeno 200. It also has Blue, Orange, and Silver shades. The handset has a plastic build, not Titanium.
By the way, they couldn’t legally copy that design 100%. So they changed the camera layout a bit. Those two lenses are built on a 13MP sensor and an auxiliary unit. The screen’s notch is also a dead giveaway that it’s not really an iPhone. There’s a 5MP selfie shooter within.
The itel latest Zeno mobile itself has been tested for an IP65 rating. Minor water splashes can’t really damage it. The screen has Wet Hand touch control. While we are on the subject, the screen on this Zeno 200 is actually a decent enough 6.75” IPS LCD with a 120Hz refresh rate.
HD 720p resolution is all you get at this price. 240Hz is the touch sampling rate, so it should be responsive enough. 590 nits could pose some challenge for readability under the sun. And the battery size is also pretty average by today’s standards.
Itel Zeno 200 plugs into a 15W charging kit that will replenish its 5000mAh battery. You can expect a single day of usage on average with a light hand. And the newcomer is not big on performance either. We have a pretty basic Unisoc T7250 SoC here.
The chipset has been teamed up with 4GB LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB storage. At least they were considerate about this hardware’s limits, so they used an Android 15 Go (lightweight) system. The software won’t slow down this phone. This newcomer’s price is $110 or ~PKR 30,000.
