The itel S18 is one of the best budget smartphones in the market right now. Having just recently come out in late October 2022, the S18 packs a sturdy technical profile with some great upgrades and innovative design.

Like its predecessor, the S17, the itel S18 inherits the S-series camera philosophy that aims at providing consumers with incredibly clear pictures at affordable price tags.
