Transsion Holdings' mobile brand Itel has now launched the Itel A62 in India. Key features of the entry-level smartphone include dual rear camera setup, face unlock, Bokeh mode, multi-functional fingerprint sensor, and the Android 8.1 Oreo operating system on board. This comes after Itel Mobile launched three new smartphones in India - the Itel S42, A44, and A44 Pro - in March this year.

The Itel A62 smartphone has been priced at Rs. 7,499, and is available in Black, Champagne, and Red colour options. It has visible chins on the top and bottom portions of the display, however there is no physical button present at the bottom of the display. At the back, the Itel A62 sports a vertically stacked dual camera setup, and a fingerprint scanner that sits in the centre. The Itel logo is embossed at the bottom rear end of the device.
The smartphone runs on Android 8.1 Oreo OS and sports a 5.65-inch HD+ IPS full-view display with 18:9 aspect ratio. The Itel A62 is powered by the MediaTek MT6739WA processor paired with 2GB of RAM. Internal storage is at 16GB with the option to expand further using a microSD card slot (up to 128GB).

The main camera sports autofocus, and comes with modes like face beauty, portrait mode, bokeh mode, pano mode, and low-light mode. Front camera sensor is at 5-megapixel with flash support.
