Display Review:

The itel S23 Plus leads this comparison with a 6.78-inch curved AMOLED display, 1080 × 2400 resolution and around 388 PPI, while the itel S25 offers an even faster 6.78-inch AMOLED, 1080 × 2436, 120Hz panel. The S23 Plus itself is a 60Hz display, according to the available specification data, despite its high-end-looking curved AMOLED design.

At the September 15, 2026 used-market price of around PKR 32,000, the itel S25 8GB + 128GB is the strongest display upgrade. Its 120Hz refresh rate is twice the S23 Plus’s 60Hz, while its 1200-nit HBM and 1800-nit peak brightness also give it a substantial advantage for outdoor visibility.

The itel S24 8GB + 256GB, also around PKR 32,000 used, takes a different approach with a 6.6-inch IPS LCD, 720 × 1612 resolution and 90Hz refresh rate. Its approximately 267 PPI is considerably lower than the S23 Plus and S25, so text and fine details will not appear as sharp.

The ZTE Nubia V60 Design 8GB + 256GB, available around PKR 35,000 box packed, also uses a 6.6-inch IPS LCD at 720 × 1612 and 90Hz. This makes it smoother than the S23 Plus on paper, but its HD+ resolution and approximately 267 PPI put it well behind both AMOLED itel models for image sharpness and contrast.

Verdict: The itel S25 has the best display overall with its 6.78-inch 120Hz AMOLED panel, while the itel S23 Plus remains a strong choice for buyers who specifically want a large curved AMOLED display at around PKR 32,000.

Processor Review:

The itel S25 is the performance leader among the phones with a comparable AnTuTu v11 result, using the Unisoc T620 with 2.2GHz peak CPU speed and an ARM Mali-G57 GPU. The itel S23 Plus uses the older Unisoc T616, with a 2.0GHz maximum clock and Mali-G57 MP1, and records around 220,000 AnTuTu v11.

Using the same benchmark figures, the itel S25 reaches about 330,000 AnTuTu v11, which is approximately 50% higher than the S23 Plus’s 220,000 score. The itel S24 uses the Helio G91 Ultra and scores around 271,000 AnTuTu v11, making it approximately 23% faster than the S23 Plus in this benchmark. The S24’s CPU has two Cortex-A75 cores at 2.0GHz and six Cortex-A55 cores at 1.8GHz, while its Mali-G52 MC2 GPU is different from the T616 and T620 graphics configurations.

The ZTE Nubia V60 Design uses the Unisoc T606, with a lower 1.6GHz maximum clock. A device-level AnTuTu v11 score is not available in the verified data, so it would be misleading to assign it a v11 percentage against the other three phones. Available testing instead reports approximately 245,000 AnTuTu v10 for the T606, but v10 and v11 scores should not be directly mixed for ranking.

For everyday use, all three itel phones can handle messaging, social media, YouTube and normal browsing, but the S25 has the greatest performance headroom. Its T620 also gives it a clearer advantage for casual gaming and multitasking over the S23 Plus’s T616.

Verdict: The itel S25 wins the performance section with around 330K AnTuTu v11, approximately 50% above the itel S23 Plus, while the itel S24 is about 23% ahead; the ZTE Nubia V60 Design cannot be fairly ranked against them because a verified device-level AnTuTu v11 score is unavailable.

Ram & Memory Review:

The itel S23 Plus in this comparison comes with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage, matching the itel S24’s 8GB + 256GB configuration. The ZTE Nubia V60 Design also has 8GB RAM + 256GB storage, while the itel S25 has the smaller 8GB + 128GB configuration being compared here. The S24’s official specifications also advertise 256GB storage with up to 16GB extended RAM, meaning the additional 8GB is virtual/extended memory rather than physical RAM.

For physical RAM, there is therefore no clear winner: all four phones have 8GB RAM in the specified variants. This makes multitasking capacity broadly comparable, although actual app retention also depends on software optimization and the processor.

Storage capacity is more important in this comparison. The itel S23 Plus, itel S24 and ZTE Nubia V60 Design each provide 256GB, giving them twice the storage capacity of the 128GB itel S25. For users who keep large WhatsApp media folders, photos, videos, games and offline content, the 256GB models provide substantially more room before storage management becomes necessary.

The itel S23 Plus therefore remains competitive in memory despite being older, because its 8GB + 256GB configuration matches the newer S24 and V60 Design. The S25’s advantage is not RAM capacity but its newer platform and display, while its 128GB storage is the main limitation in this comparison.

Verdict: The itel S23 Plus, itel S24 and ZTE Nubia V60 Design tie for the best memory configuration with 8GB RAM + 256GB storage, while the itel S25 falls behind on storage with 8GB + 128GB.

Cameras Review:

The itel S24 has the highest-resolution main camera in this comparison with a 108MP rear sensor, while the itel S23 Plus and itel S25 each use a 50MP main camera. The ZTE Nubia V60 Design also uses a 50MP main camera, paired with a 2MP secondary camera and AI camera features.

The itel S23 Plus remains particularly strong for selfies, with a 32MP front camera alongside its 50MP rear camera. The itel S25 matches it with a 32MP selfie camera and 50MP rear camera, making both models more attractive for users who frequently take selfies, video calls or social-media portraits.

The itel S24 takes the lead for rear-camera resolution with its 108MP Ultra Clear Camera, but its front camera is only 8MP. That gives the S24 a clear advantage for detailed daylight photography on paper, while the S23 Plus and S25 have a much higher-resolution selfie camera.

The ZTE Nubia V60 Design has a 50MP + 2MP + AI-CAM rear setup and an 8MP front camera. Its camera hardware is therefore simpler than the S24’s 108MP system and the S23 Plus/S25’s 32MP selfie setups.

Verdict: The itel S24 wins the rear-camera resolution battle with 108MP, while the itel S23 Plus and itel S25 are better balanced for buyers who want a 50MP main camera plus a high-resolution 32MP selfie camera. The Nubia V60 Design ranks behind these three for camera hardware.

Battery Review:

All four phones use a 5000mAh battery, so there is no capacity winner in this comparison. The main difference is charging speed: the ZTE Nubia V60 Design supports 22.5W, while the itel S23 Plus, itel S25, and itel S24 are rated at 18W.

The itel S23 Plus therefore remains competitive despite being the primary phone. Its 5000mAh battery and 18W charging are enough for its hardware, while the S25 uses the same 5000mAh + 18W combination. The S25 also supports bypass charging, which can be useful during gaming because power can be supplied more directly instead of relying entirely on battery charging.

The itel S24 also has a 5000mAh battery and 18W Type-C charging. Available testing data reports around 20 hours of PCMark battery life, although that result is a test measurement rather than a guaranteed runtime for every user.

The ZTE Nubia V60 Design has the fastest wired charging here at 22.5W, giving it a 4.5W advantage over the three itel phones. However, its advantage is relatively small because battery capacity remains identical at 5000mAh. No reliable 0-100% charging time is available, so an exact charging-duration winner should not be claimed.

Verdict: The ZTE Nubia V60 Design wins the charging-speed comparison with 22.5W, but all four phones tie at 5000mAh battery capacity, making the itel S23 Plus, S25 and S24 broadly comparable for battery capacity.

Final Verdict :

At the September 15, 2026 Pakistan prices, the itel S23 Plus 8GB + 256GB at PKR 32,000 remains a strong choice if you specifically want a curved AMOLED design and 256GB storage. However, the newer itel S25 8GB + 128GB at PKR 32,000 used is the better overall phone for display and performance, with a 6.78-inch 120Hz AMOLED, Unisoc T620 and around 330K AnTuTu v11.

The itel S24 8GB + 256GB at PKR 32,000 used is the strongest alternative for buyers who prioritize camera resolution and storage. Its 108MP main camera, 256GB storage and 5000mAh battery make it a practical budget option, although its 720p 90Hz LCD is far behind the S23 Plus and S25 AMOLED panels.

The ZTE Nubia V60 Design 8GB + 256GB at PKR 35,000 box packed has one important advantage: it is the only option here offering a box-packed unit at the stated market prices. It also provides 22.5W charging and 256GB storage, but its Unisoc T606, 720p 90Hz LCD and 8MP selfie camera make it weaker overall than the better-equipped used itel alternatives.

For pure specifications and everyday value, the itel S25 is the best overall choice, while the itel S23 Plus remains attractive if its curved AMOLED design and 256GB storage are more important to you. The V60 Design makes more sense for buyers who strongly prefer a new box-packed phone rather than a used device.

Verdict: The itel S25 is the overall winner, the itel S24 is the best 256GB camera-focused alternative, the itel S23 Plus remains a balanced AMOLED option, and the ZTE Nubia V60 Design is the best choice only if box-packed/new condition is your top priority.

  1. itel S25 8GB + 128GB – PKR 32,000 used — Best overall
  2. itel S24 8GB + 256GB – PKR 32,000 used — Best camera + storage value
