Editorial report
Hotwav A56 technical sheet
The Hotwav A56 suits buyers seeking a large phone for basic tasks, dual SIM and current connectivity. Its main trade-off is modest hardware, joined by a simple camera and a display with limited brightness and pixel density.
Its 6.75″ IPS LCD display has a 120 Hz refresh rate, curved glass and 83% usable surface. 120 Hz is typical among phones of its time, but 420 nits and 260 ppi are among the weakest figures. The large panel therefore does not bring especially bright or detailed images. The phone also includes 6 years of OS update support.
Its 3 GB of RAM is among the weakest amounts of its time, while 128 GB of storage is below most phones, although storage is expandable. The AnTuTu result of 235,000 is also among the weakest. The 13 MP rear camera sits in the same weak range and has no optical stabilization; the front camera is 5 MP.
The 5,160 mAh battery and 18 W charging are worse than most phones of its time. Connectivity is more balanced, with Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, five navigation systems, dual SIM, USB Type-C and a 3.5 mm audio jack. Overall, the A56 is among the weakest phones of its time and receives a NeoScore of 3.9. It is aimed at basic use rather than demanding performance, photography or an advanced display.
