Design

In terms of design, the Oppo A56s comes with a budget design as expected of an entry-level smartphone. The rear is made out of matte plastic with a smooth finish that doesn’t attract fingerprints smudges. It has curved edges for better handling while the top and bottom remain flat.

The Oppo A56s measures 163.8 x 75.1 x 8 mm in dimension and weighs 186 g which makes it comfortable to hold and use with one hand.

At the front, this Oppo device has 6.56-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 720 x 1612 pixels. It has a waterdrop notch at the top of the screen, which maximizes the screen-to-body ratio and gives the phone a modern look.
