itel Mobile has unveiled a new device into its selfie-focused S-series of smartphones. The device is dubbed itel S15, and among the many special features of the device, the fact the device comes pre-installed with “Gallery Go,” Google’s newest gallery app, is one of the highlights.

This positions the itel S15 as the first smartphone to come with the Gallery Go app out-of-the-box. The device comes as an upgrade to the itel S13 that was released in 2018. Gallery Go is a small-sized (8.9MB) app that comes with exciting features like automatic organization of photo for easy accessibility, an “Auto Enhance” edit feature, and offline support (uses less data).
