itel is ready to expand its budget smartphone portfolio in India with two new devices, the itel Zeno 100 Pro and itel Zeno 100 Lite. The company has officially confirmed that the Zeno 100 Pro will launch in India on July 16, while the Lite model has been teased with several interesting features on Amazon.
The upcoming Zeno 100 Pro is being positioned as a tough everyday smartphone. According to the teaser details, the phone will come with MIL-STD-810H military-grade durability certification, along with heat and drop resistance. Itel is clearly targeting users who want a budget phone that can handle rough daily use without compromising on basic features.
One of the most interesting hints from the teaser is the “Point and Tap Control Connectivity” feature. This strongly suggests the presence of an IR blaster, which could allow users to control TVs, ACs, and other compatible home appliances directly from the phone. The teaser also shows a dual rear camera setup, although the exact camera hardware has not yet been revealed.
The itel Zeno 100 Lite is also generating attention, especially because it appears to be another durability-focused budget phone. The Amazon teaser confirms a 6.6-inch HD+ display with a 90Hz refresh rate, DTS-backed speakers, MIL-STD military-grade durability, and a 5,000mAh battery. However, its launch date is still not announced, and it is currently listed as “coming soon”.

Launch and Availability
The launch date confirmation makes the Zeno 100 Pro the first of the two phones to arrive in India. Since the company is teasing both models through Amazon, availability is likely to centre around the platform at launch. Pricing details have not been revealed yet, so buyers will have to wait for the official event for full information.
In a market full of low-cost smartphones, itel is trying to stand out by making durability the main selling point. That is a smart move for buyers who need a phone for daily rough use, travel, or long battery backup. If the final pricing stays aggressive, the Zeno 100 Pro and Zeno 100 Lite could become notable contenders in India’s budget segment.
