Design and Display
Just like most iTel smartphones on the A-basic series, iTel A33 comes with a plastic body which protects its internal metallic frame. The design is beautiful, smooth, and feels comfortable to hold in your hands because of the compact nature of the phone. You can also see the rear-mounted fingerprint scanner, vertically arranged below the rear camera and LED flash. On the right-hand side are at the power button and the volume rocker. The company also spiced up the design by making the phone available in three colour variants which include City Blue, Black, and Champagne Gold.

For selfies and Face Unlock, the Android smartphone sports a 2MP with a LED flash.
