The itel S23 carries a 50MP main shooter paired with a 0.08MP depth sensor, and in good lighting the primary lens does pull decent detail with an image resolution stretching up to 8150 × 6150 pixels, which is reasonably impressive on paper for a budget device. Real-world shots will be solid in daylight, though low-light performance is where you’ll start noticing the hardware’s budget-tier limitations. There’s no optical zoom on board, but a 10x digital zoom gives you some reach when needed just don’t expect clean results at maximum zoom. Video recording tops out at 1080p at 30fps on both the rear and front cameras, which is perfectly usable for casual clips and social media content. The 8MP front camera captures selfies at 3264 × 2448 pixels and handles everyday portrait shots reasonably well, especially with the LED flash helping out in dimly lit situations. Both the front and rear LED flash setups are a practical touch, making this camera setup functional enough for the average budget user without overpromising.
