Itel A100Cs is available at Mascom International for KSh 12,100, brand new and sealed, with 64GB of storage, a 6.6-inch 90Hz screen and a 5000mAh battery. This is itel's Special Edition of the A100C, now available in Kenya after its June 2026 release. The memory is sold as 6GB, which means 2GB of physical RAM plus 4GB of extended RAM borrowed from storage. Inside sits a Unisoc T7100 chip running Android 15 Go with itel OS 15, plus an 8MP rear camera with LED flash and a 5MP selfie camera. Collect the Itel A100Cs at our Old Mutual Building store on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for first-time phone owners, school leavers, market traders and parents buying for a teenager across Kenya, the Itel A100Cs covers the daily basics without fuss. Many entry phones carry a small battery that dies by mid-afternoon and storage that fills within months. On the Itel A100Cs, the 5000mAh cell gets most users through a full day of WhatsApp, calls, M-Pesa and short videos. The microSDXC slot lets you add a memory card when photos pile up. A side fingerprint sensor unlocks the phone in one touch, and the 3.5mm jack keeps your wired earphones working on a long matatu ride home.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops print 6GB RAM on the box and stop there, Mascom International tells you exactly what you are buying: 2GB physical plus 4GB extended. That honesty matters, because extended RAM keeps apps parked in the background but runs slower than physical memory. Customers across Nairobi tell us they prefer knowing the trade-off before paying. If you want more real memory, the Itel A300C with 4GB of physical RAM costs KSh 1,200 more. For calls, chats and mobile money, the Itel A100Cs is a sensible daily phone.

Common Questions About the Itel A100Cs
How much is the Itel A100Cs 64GB in Kenya?
The Itel A100Cs 64GB costs KSh 12,100 brand new and sealed at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That price includes a 12-month warranty covering manufacturing defects, the charger in the box and pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties. It sits KSh 1,200 below the Itel A300C 64GB with 4GB RAM at KSh 13,300, and KSh 3,800 above the Itel A100c 64GB with 2GB RAM at KSh 8,300. You pay by cash or M-Pesa when the phone reaches you, after checking it.
Is the 6GB RAM on the Itel A100Cs real RAM?
The Itel A100Cs has 2GB of physical RAM plus 4GB of extended RAM, which itel adds together and markets as 6GB. Extended RAM, sometimes called virtual RAM, sets aside part of the 64GB storage to act as overflow memory. It helps the phone keep more apps paused in the background, such as WhatsApp, a banking app and a browser. It is slower than physical RAM, though, so heavy multitasking and big games will still feel the 2GB limit. Mascom International states this plainly so you know what you are paying for.
Should I buy the Itel A100Cs or the Itel A300C?
Choose the Itel A300C for 4GB of physical RAM at KSh 13,300, or the Itel A100Cs at KSh 12,100 if your use is light. Both carry 64GB of storage, so the real difference is working memory. Four gigabytes of physical RAM switches between apps more smoothly than 2GB physical plus 4GB extended. For calls, WhatsApp, Facebook Lite and YouTube, the Itel A100Cs is enough. For students juggling Zoom, Google Classroom and many browser tabs at once, the extra KSh 1,200 for the Itel A300C is money well spent.
Does the Itel A100Cs work on Safaricom, Airtel and Telkom 4G?
The Itel A100Cs is a dual SIM 4G phone that works on Safaricom, Airtel Kenya and Telkom Kenya for calls, data and SMS. You can keep a Safaricom line for M-Pesa in one slot and an Airtel bundle line in the other. It does not support 5G, so in Safaricom's 5G towns it connects over 4G instead, which is fine for WhatsApp, browsing and video. Mascom International can confirm the network setup on your unit over WhatsApp before delivery if you have a particular line in mind.
How long does the Itel A100Cs battery last?
The Itel A100Cs battery holds 5000mAh, which gives most buyers a full day of typical use on one charge. That covers calls, WhatsApp chats, mobile money payments, some social media and a little video. The HD+ screen and the Go edition of Android draw less energy than sharper, heavier setups, which helps the charge stretch. When KPLC power cuts hit, the phone takes 15W charging over USB Type-C, so a power bank or car charger can top it up. Lowering screen brightness stretches each charge further.
Who should buy the Itel A100Cs and who should skip it?
The Itel A100Cs suits first-time phone owners, elderly parents, boda boda riders and traders who need calls, WhatsApp and M-Pesa on a tight budget. It also works well as a second phone for a business line. Skip it if you play heavy games like PUBG Mobile, edit video or keep many apps open at once, because 2GB of physical RAM will hold you back. Those buyers should step up to the Itel A200+ with 128GB and 4GB at KSh 15,000, or the Itel Power 80 for a much larger battery.
Is the Itel A100Cs good for university students?
The Itel A100Cs is a fair choice for first-year university students on a budget, with some limits. It handles WhatsApp class groups, email, YouTube lectures and the eCitizen and KUCCPS portals in a browser. The 64GB storage plus a microSDXC card slot gives room for notes, PDFs and photos. Students at Kenyatta, JKUAT or Moi University who sit through long Zoom or Google Meet sessions while taking notes would find the Itel A300C or Itel A200+ smoother, thanks to 4GB of physical RAM.
How good is the Itel A100Cs camera?
The Itel A100Cs has an 8MP rear camera with an LED flash and a 5MP front camera, and it records video at 1080p. That is enough for clear daylight photos of stock, receipts, documents and family moments. The LED flash helps in dim rooms and at night, though low-light photos will show grain, as on most phones at this price. The 5MP selfie camera handles WhatsApp video calls and profile pictures. Sellers who post on Instagram or TikTok and want sharper shots should look at the 50MP camera on the Itel Power 80.
Technical Specifications
Display
- 6.6-inch IPS LCD screen — a wide, clear surface for chats, videos and web pages without constant zooming.
- HD+ resolution of 720 x 1612 pixels — sharp enough for text and video at this size, and lighter on the battery.
- 90Hz refresh rate — the screen redraws 90 times a second, so scrolling through feeds looks smoother than 60Hz.
- IPS panel type — colours and text stay readable when the phone is tilted or shared with someone beside you.
- Slim body about 8.5mm thick — easy to grip in one hand and slide into a trouser pocket.
Processor and Software
- Unisoc T7100 chipset — an entry-level processor built for calls, messaging, social apps and light browsing.
- Android 15 Go edition — a lighter version of Android designed to run well on phones with less memory.
- itel OS 15 interface — itel's own layer on top of Android, with simple menus and familiar settings.
- Go edition apps from Google — smaller versions of common apps that open faster and take up less storage.
- Everyday performance focus — expect steady messaging and video playback, but slower loading in heavy games.
Memory and Storage
- 2GB physical RAM — the real working memory that runs the app on screen and a few in the background.
- 4GB extended RAM — storage set aside as extra memory, keeping more apps paused, though slower than physical RAM.
- 6GB combined figure — itel's label for 2GB physical plus 4GB extended, not 6GB of physical memory.
- 64GB internal storage — roughly 20,000 photos at about 3MB each, or around 8 hours of 1080p video, before apps.
- microSDXC card slot — add a memory card to move photos, music and videos off the phone as storage fills.
Camera
- 8MP rear camera — clear daylight photos of documents, products and people, ready for sharing on WhatsApp.
- LED flash — lights up close subjects in dim rooms, at evening events or after dark.
- 1080p video recording — Full HD clips at about 130MB a minute, so each 1GB holds roughly 7 minutes.
- 5MP front camera — enough detail for video calls, selfies and profile pictures.
- Daylight works best — like most phones at this price, low-light photos show grain, so use the flash indoors.
Battery and Charging
- 5000mAh battery — a full day of calls, chats and video for most users on one charge.
- 15W wired charging — a moderate charging speed over cable, well suited to overnight or desk charging.
- USB Type-C port — the reversible plug that fits either way round and matches most modern cables.
- Lighter software load — Android Go and the HD+ screen draw less energy, helping each charge last longer.
- Power bank friendly — any USB power bank with a Type-C cable tops it up during long outages.
Connectivity
- 4G LTE support — fast mobile data on Safaricom, Airtel Kenya and Telkom Kenya, with no 5G support.
- Dual SIM — two lines in one phone, one for calls and mobile money, one for cheaper data.
- Side-mounted fingerprint sensor — built into the side button for quick one-touch unlocking.
- 3.5mm headphone jack — plug in wired earphones or a car aux cable without any adapter.
- USB Type-C data transfer — connect to a laptop to back up photos and documents by cable.
