Strengths (What’s Good)
Display quality is quite strong for the price: 120Hz AMOLED, curved design, high brightness. Good for media consumption and smooth UI animations.
Camera (50MP + 32MP front) gives decent quality in good lighting; selfie camera resolution is appealing.
Battery life should be solid — 5000 mAh is standard now, but with a lower power chip it could last long.
Value for money in Pakistan: the feature set is generous for the ~PKR 45,000 price‑bracket. (PakMobile.Pk)
Durability features like IP64 splash/dust resistance, Gorilla Glass 7i, etc., add to reliability.
Weaknesses / Limitations
No 5G connectivity. For users wanting future‑proof network support, this is a downside. (Latest Phones)
Charging speed is modest: 18W is somewhat slow compared to many competitors now offering 30‑50W. If you frequently need fast top‑ups, this could frustrate.
Wireless charging is not available.
The chipset (Unisoc T620) is serviceable for daily use, but not a performance beast. Heavy gaming or demanding tasks might show lag.
Extended RAM (“virtual RAM”) helps, but real hardware limits remain.
Verdict: Is it Worth Buying in Pakistan?
If you’re looking for a mid‑range phone under PKR 50,000 with a premium feel, good display, strong camera in daylight, and good battery life, the itel S25 Ultra is a solid choice. It delivers more than many phones in that price range, especially for non‑power users (i.e. social media, video, casual apps).
However, if 5G, very fast charging, or top‑tier gaming are priorities for you, then you might want to stretch budget or look at alternatives.
Comparison to Alternatives
To get perspective, some competitors in similar price‑range may offer:
Slightly better charging speeds
More optimized gaming performance
More attention to software updates / support
But often they sacrifice display quality, design, or camera front so trade‑offs are expected.
Tips If You Buy It
Use a good screen protector and case to protect the curved AMOLED edges.
Avoid leaving it under direct sunlight for too long despite peak brightness rating — AMOLED colors may desaturate.
Close extra background apps to save battery.
Keep OS updated for bug fixes — itel’s update track record may be moderate.
