itel City 100: A color-shifting budget phone with a 90 Hz AMOLED, near the price floor.

SpecEagle Editorial·Jun 2025·$110·Score 46/100

City 100's pitch is an actual FHD+ AMOLED and a sun-reactive color-shifting back at ~$110 — flourishes the price rarely allows. The slow Unisoc chip and 4G ceiling are the cost. For a cheap phone that looks and reads better than its tier, itel found an angle.
