Itel Zeno 10

The Itel Zeno 10 has a straightforward, conventional form factor — it does not fold and carries no rugged certification. It measures 164 mm tall, 76 mm wide, and 8.99 mm thick, with a total volume of 112.05 cm³. The device weighs 186 g and offers no water resistance, meaning it lacks any rated protection against moisture or dust exposure.

The Itel Zeno 10 features a 6.6-inch IPS LCD touchscreen with a resolution of 720 x 1612 px and a pixel density of 269 ppi. The panel does not carry any branded damage-resistant glass, and it lacks support for HDR10, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision, so advanced high dynamic range content is not natively handled. There is no Always-On Display mode and no secondary screen present on this device.

The Itel Zeno 10 is driven by the Unisoc Tiger T603 chipset, built on a 12 nm process with an octa-core CPU configuration of 2 cores at 1.8 GHz and 6 cores at 1.6 GHz across 12 threads, making use of big.LITTLE architecture and Heterogeneous Multi-Processing (HMP). It comes with 4GB of DDR4 RAM running at 1600 MHz — expandable up to a maximum of 8GB — and 64GB of eMMC 5.1 internal storage. Graphics are handled by the Mali-G57 MP1 with a single execution unit clocked at 650 MHz, supporting DirectX 12, OpenGL ES 3.2, and OpenCL 2.0, while the chip also features integrated LTE and ARM TrustZone security. The SoC carries a thermal design power of 9W, and the cache hierarchy consists of 128 KB L1, 2 MB L2, and 1 MB L3, with the platform recording an AnTuTu benchmark score of 239545.

The Itel Zeno 10 features a dual-lens rear camera system with an 8 MP CMOS sensor, capable of recording video at 1080p and 30 fps with continuous autofocus during recording and slow-motion support. Focusing options include phase-detection autofocus and touch autofocus, while manual controls cover exposure, ISO, focus, and white balance, though manual shutter speed is not available. The rear setup includes a single LED flash — not dual-tone — and offers HDR mode, burst shooting, and in-camera panorama, but there is no optical zoom, no optical image stabilization, no BSI sensor, and no RAW output. On the front, a 5 MP single-lens camera sits behind an f/2.2 aperture with no dedicated flash, and neither HDR10 nor Dolby Vision recording is supported on either camera.

The Itel Zeno 10 runs on Android 14, an open-source platform that supports multi-user accounts, voice commands, offline voice recognition, on-device machine learning, and phone tracking. Privacy tooling covers clipboard warnings, location privacy options, camera and microphone access controls, and the ability to block app tracking, though Mail Privacy Protection and cross-site tracking blocking are not included. On the customization side, the OS offers dark mode, dynamic theming, theme customization, widgets, and customizable notifications, while usability features extend to split-screen multitasking, Picture-in-Picture, a media picker, full-page screenshots, Live Text, sharing intents, an extra dim mode, a child lock, battery health check, and the ability to play games while they download. Wi-Fi password sharing, focus modes, app offloading, Quick Start, and the ability to function as a PC are not supported, and OS updates are not delivered directly from the vendor.

The Itel Zeno 10 is equipped with a 5000 mAh rechargeable battery that supports fast charging at up to 10W, and a battery level indicator is present to keep the user informed of remaining charge. The battery is sealed and cannot be removed by the user, and wireless charging is not supported.

The Itel Zeno 10 includes a 3.5 mm headphone jack and a built-in radio, covering the basics for wired listening and broadcast audio. Speaker output is mono, as stereo speakers are not present. On the wireless audio side, none of the advanced Bluetooth codec standards — aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, or LDAC — are supported.

The Itel Zeno 10 supports 4G LTE connectivity with download speeds of up to 300 Mbit/s and upload speeds of up to 150 Mbit/s, though 5G is not available. It accommodates two SIM cards and connects wirelessly via Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) and Bluetooth 4.2, while NFC is absent. The device uses a USB Type-C port running USB 2.0 and includes an external memory slot for storage expansion. Location is handled through GPS with Galileo support, and an accelerometer is present, though a gyroscope, compass, and barometer are not included. Biometric security is provided by a fingerprint scanner, while 3D facial recognition and an iris scanner are not featured. Additional capabilities such as HDMI output, infrared sensor, ANT+, heart rate monitoring, crash detection, satellite SOS, DLNA certification, motion or optical tracking, and a built-in projector are all absent from this device.

The Itel Zeno 10 includes a video light for illumination during video recording. The display is flat rather than curved, and the device does not feature sapphire glass protection or an e-paper screen.
