With the itel Zeno 300, itel is clearly aiming at buyers who want a well-rounded phone without too many compromises. Here is our take on what it brings to the table. Announced in 2026, September 25, it arrives at a time when the competition is as tight as ever.
Design & Display
The itel Zeno 300 comes with a 6.56 inches, 103.4 cm 2 display, pushing a resolution of 720 x 1612 pixels, 20:9 ratio (~269 ppi density), and in real-world use it looks bright, crisp and easy on the eyes. The build feels well put together, and itel has clearly paid attention to the in-hand feel. You can pick it up in a few finishes, including Lavender Purple.
Performance & Software
At the heart of it sits the Unisoc T7100, paired with 4GB of RAM, which means smooth scrolling, quick app switching and no real hiccups in normal use. It runs Android 16 (Go edition) out of the box, so the software experience feels current.
Camera
On the camera side, the itel Zeno 300 is led by a 8 MP main sensor. It is not a pro camera rig, but for everyday memories it gets the job done nicely.
Battery
Keeping the lights on is a 6000 mAh cell, which should comfortably see most people through a full day on a single charge.
Our Opinion
Coming to the important bit, our opinion on the itel Zeno 300. What you are getting is a device that quietly covers the fundamentals rather than shouting about them. It gets the basics right, offering strong battery life, a dependable main camera, a crisp display, which is exactly what most buyers are really after. In day-to-day use it feels like the kind of device you can rely on, whether you are replying to messages, scrolling through social media, watching videos or taking the odd photo. You could nitpick a few things, as you can with any phone in this bracket. But taken as a whole, the itel Zeno 300 is a sensible, well-judged choice that should keep most users happy for a good while.
