ZTE Nubia A56

OhoPrice editorial review

Our Take: The Nubia A56 is a workhorse budget phone that plays it safe. At 30,999 PKR it offers 128GB of storage — double the base tier of many rivals — a 5000mAh battery that easily covers a full day, and a clean IPS 720p display at about 260 PPI, which is soft but serviceable. The Unisoc T7200 is a modest chip good for messaging, video and light apps, and the 13MP main camera with an 8MP front is basic but honest. There is nothing exciting here, and that is the point: if you want a predictable, no-frills phone from a brand that is at least an established name in telecom, the A56 delivers what it promises and no more. Against the Itel A100 at 27,999 PKR, the A56 wins on camera and brand visibility: its 13MP rear sensor beats the Itel's 8MP, and both offer 128GB storage with a 5000mAh battery. The Itel counters with a much larger advertised RAM figure — 12GB — though the fine print reveals 8GB of that is extended, meaning only 4GB is physical, exactly what the A56 offers as well. The Itel's slightly newer T7250 chip (September 2025) edges out the A56's T7200, and it costs 3,000 PKR less. If you want the better camera and a more established name, the A56 justifies the small premium; if raw RAM bragging numbers and price win, the A100 is the flashier choice. Run the A56 IMEI through PTA's DIRBS before paying — budget ZTE units are a recurring unofficial import.
