Itel S13 is now officially available for purchase in Kenya.

The smartphone is part of Google’s Android Go and is the second smartphone from itel mobile to hit the Kenyan market.

The smartphone also comes with a voice assistant that helps you to accomplish a range of tasks with just your voice. Google Now powers the S13 voice assistant feature.

On Android Go, those not familiar with the operating system here is a brief lowdown. Android is one of the most complicated operating systems around.

This means it requires significant hardware resources to run properly. Most budget smartphones feature not-so-impressive hardware profiles and thus Android Go comes in to overcome this constraint.

The operating system is lighter in comparison to the ‘normal’ Android OS and the core apps such as Gmail, YouTube and Maps are optimized to require less hardware resources.

You can, therefore, be assured of a smooth user experience when using Android Go smartphones such as the itel S13.

The itel S13 has suggested retail price of Ksh. 7,500 and is available in shops countrywide.
