The itel P38 is the latest smartphone from the company to launch in Kenya. The phone is available in Kenya for Ksh 10,500 on Jumia and other smartphone retailers. It is the successor to the itel P37 series that was launched in Kenya last year.
The itel P38 builds on the P37 series and shares some features with another device from the company, the itel A58. The A58 is available at a much lower price and targets a different customer base compared to the P38.

The phone does come with most specs you would expect to find on a smartphone within this price range. It is powered by Android 11 Go Edition with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage space. Have a look at some of the key specifications below.
