Both devices use the same eMMC version (5.1) and share other features like TrustZone, OpenCL 2, and OpenGL ES 3.2 support.

Both the Itel City 100 and Itel Zeno 20 feature 13 MP main cameras, but their camera setups differ in some key areas. The City 100 has a dual-lens main camera, while the Zeno 20 uses a single-lens camera. For front cameras, the City 100 has an 8 MP camera, whereas the Zeno 20 comes with a 5 MP front camera, offering a higher resolution on the City 100's front-facing camera.

Both phones have similar video recording capabilities, with 1080 x 30 fps support for the main camera. They also share features such as continuous autofocus, phase-detection autofocus for photos, slow-motion video recording, HDR mode, manual exposure, manual ISO, and serial shot mode. Additionally, both have a CMOS sensor and support touch autofocus.

Some features, like dual-tone LED flash and front-facing LED flash, are absent on both devices, as are more advanced features like laser autofocus, 360° panorama shooting, or HDR10 recording. The City 100, however, includes a dual-lens main camera and a higher resolution front camera compared to the Zeno 20, which only has a single-lens main camera and a 5 MP front camera.

Both the Itel City 100 and Itel Zeno 20 run on Android 14 and come with many similar operating system features. These include clipboard warnings, location privacy options, camera/microphone privacy options, theme customization, and the ability to block app tracking. Both also offer on-device machine learning, notification permissions, media pickers, and the option to play games while they download.

There are a few notable features on both devices, such as dark mode, battery health check, extra dim mode, dynamic theming, customizable notifications, Live Text, full-page screenshots, split-screen support, PiP (Picture-in-Picture), sharing intents, child lock, widgets, and offline voice recognition. Both devices also support voice commands and tracking of the current position of the device. They are multi-user systems, but neither supports Quick Start functionality.

One key difference is that neither phone gets direct OS updates, and both phones lack Wi-Fi password sharing. While both phones share an almost identical set of features, no additional specific features were provided for either product beyond what is mentioned above.

The Itel City 100 and Itel Zeno 20 have fairly similar battery specifications, though with slight differences. The City 100 is equipped with a 5200 mAh battery, while the Zeno 20 has a slightly smaller 5000 mAh battery. Both devices support fast charging, but the City 100 offers a higher charging speed of 18W, compared to the 15W charging speed on the Zeno 20.

Neither phone supports wireless charging, and both have rechargeable, non-removable batteries. They also both come with a charger included, and feature a battery level indicator, so you can easily track the remaining battery life.

Overall, both phones share many of the same battery features, but the City 100 has a larger battery capacity and faster charging speed compared to the Zeno 20.

Both the Itel City 100 and Itel Zeno 20 are equipped with a 3.5 mm audio jack, allowing for wired headphone use. Neither device features stereo speakers, and both lack support for advanced audio technologies such as aptX, LDAC, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, or aptX Lossless.

Additionally, neither phone includes a radio, so users will not be able to listen to FM radio directly on either device.

Overall, the audio features on both phones are similar, with both providing basic audio functions like a 3.5 mm jack but lacking stereo speakers or high-end audio codec support.

Both the Itel City 100 and Itel Zeno 20 support dual SIM cards, but only the Zeno 20 offers an external memory slot, allowing for expanded storage, while the City 100 does not. Neither device supports 5G, but both offer 4G connectivity with identical download speeds of 300 MBits/s and upload speeds of 150 MBits/s.

Both phones feature a fingerprint scanner for security and have GPS functionality. However, the City 100 includes a compass, while the Zeno 20 lacks this feature.
