Comparisons Featuring Micromax A56
Short Review
- The Micromax A56 features a compact design with dimensions of 116 x 62 x 11.5 mm and a weight of 110 grams, making it lightweight and portable.
- It sports a 3.5-inch TFT display with a resolution of 360 x 480 pixels, providing a pixel density of approximately 171 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6573 chipset, an 800 MHz Cortex-A9 CPU, and 256MB of RAM, which may limit multitasking capabilities.
- The rear camera is 3.15 MP, but it lacks video recording and optical image stabilization, while there is no front-facing camera.
- The battery capacity is 1400 mAh, with no fast charging or wireless charging options available.
- Running on Android 2.3.5 (Gingerbread), the software experience is dated and lacks modern features.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 3.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device has a microUSB 2.0 port and a standard headphone jack.
- Available colors are black and white, but there are no water resistance features.
- Overall, the Micromax A56 is a basic smartphone with limited capabilities suited for essential tasks.
