Because Itel A56 is coated with a glossy material that radiates a few shades of colours, at a glance therefore, it's easy to pass this phone for a more costlier budget smartphone. But when you start to pay attention to its features and specs, you'll discover that A56 is just a regular low-cost smartphone with sparkling appearance.

Though, besides its radiant finish, Itel A56 also offers a bigger 6.0-inch display, but the screen has a lower (FWVGA) resolution. And like a few others in this segment, Itel A56 is a 3G phone i.e., it doesn't support 4G network. This phone is also fitted with the SC7731E chipset; which is an entry-level processor from the Unisoc (Spreadtrum). As expected also, Itel A56 is running on the Go Edition of the Android 9 (Pie) OS.

In the aspect of photography, Itel A56 is fitted with a 5MP front facing camera and 8MP dual-lens back camera. This phone also features Face Unlock, rear-mounted fingerprint reader and a host of other basic specs that usually found on low-end smartphones.
Nonetheless, and apart from its glossy finish and big screen, another strong features of the Itel A56 is its sufficient battery capacity, in other words, A56 is powered by a strong, 4000mAh battery.

Meanwhile, Itel A56 is available in two variants, i.e., Itel A56 and A56 Pro variant. The base variant features 1GB of RAM and 16GB internal storage, while the Pro varaint is equipped with 2GB of RAM and 32GB internal storage space.
The current price of the Itel A56 (or base variant) is 26,200 Naira, while the Itel A56 Pro attract an higher price of 33,400 Naira.

It should be noted that, except for their different RAMs and internal storage configurations, there is no other difference between the two variants of the Itel phone.


Design, Display And Camera:
Itel A56 measures 159.7x77.7x8.9mm and weigh 164g. Yet, despite its lightweight, slim and gradient-looking body, this phone's design is similar to those of other low-costs smartphones. For instance, Itel A56 features thick bezels at the top and bottom of its bigger 6.0-inch display. And it also has 18:9 aspect ratio; which makes the phone to appear wide. Still, Itel A56 is comfortable to hold and operate with one hand.

As i mentioned earlier, the 6.0-inch display of the Itel A56 features FWVGA resolution or 960x480 pixels; which means the display has a lower pixel density of 179ppi. Although, this low resolutions or FWVGA displays are often accompanied low-cost smartphones as the likes of Itel P32P33P33 PlusTecno POP 3 and the recent Tecno POP 4 features FWVGA displays.

However, and while the screens of those smartphones (mentioned above) have normal white balance (white point), the screen of the Itel A56, like those of the Itel P13 and P13 Plus, appears slightly bluish (Blue-Light). And this often cause headache, eye strain or eye fatigue, especially for those with sensitive eyes. Unfortunately, like most of other low-cost smartphones, Itel A56 display lacks Eye Care Mode.

Meanwhile, like its chassis, the gradient-looking back cover of the A56 is also made of plastic. And the phone's dual lens back camera (with LED Flash) are arranged in a vertical manner on the left side of the back cover. The dual-lens camera is made up of 8MP Main lens and 0.3MP QVGA lens; which assist the Main lens in delivering clearer low-light shots. The Itel A56's fingerprint reader is also found at the top-centre back of the phone.

Processing Power, Storage And OS:
As i mentioned earlier, Itel A56 features Unisoc SC7731E cpu; which is an entry-level quad-core processor with the clock speeds of up to 1.3GHz. The phone also features ARM Mali-T820 MP1 GPU. And while a few entry-level smartphone in this category are running on the Android 10 Go Edition, Itel A56 is pre-loaded with the Android 9 Go Edition.

And whether 1GB/16GB variant or 2GB/32GB variant, the internal storage capacity of the Itel A56 can be expanded via MicroSD card of up to 64GB. And like i said earlier, Itel A56 is powered by a sufficient, 4000mAh battery which should last up to 2 days on a single charging and with normal usage.
