Itel P55 4G specifications and in-depth review

Itel P55 4G

Manufacturer: Itel

The Itel P55 4G is a 4G Android 13 smartphone built around a 6.6-inch IPS LCD screen running at a 90Hz refresh rate, with a resolution of 720 x 1612 px and a pixel density of 267 ppi. It is powered by the Unisoc T606 chipset paired with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage, and the device supports expandable memory via an external card slot. The phone comes in a 164 x 75 x 8 mm body weighing 190 g, with no water resistance rating or rugged build.

The rear camera system is a dual-lens setup headlined by a 50 MP sensor with an f/1.6 aperture, phase-detection autofocus, continuous autofocus during video, and a dual-tone LED flash. Video recording tops out at 1080p at 30 fps, and manual controls for ISO, white balance, exposure, and focus are available. On the connectivity side, the phone supports Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5, GPS with Galileo, USB Type-C (USB 2.0), dual SIM, and a 3.5mm headphone jack, though NFC and 5G are absent. The 5000 mAh battery supports 18W fast charging and ships with a charger included.

Pros
  • 256GB of internal storage combined with 8GB of RAM offers generous capacity for a 4G smartphone
  • The 5000 mAh battery with 18W fast charging and an included charger provides solid endurance and convenient out-of-the-box usability
  • A 50 MP main camera with phase-detection autofocus, manual controls for ISO, exposure, focus, and white balance gives meaningful shooting flexibility
  • The 90Hz refresh rate on a 6.6-inch IPS display contributes to smoother scrolling and visual response
  • External memory expansion is supported, allowing additional storage beyond the built-in 256GB
  • Android 13 brings a range of privacy controls including app tracking blocking, location privacy options, and camera and microphone permission management
Cons
  • The 720 x 1612 px resolution results in a relatively low pixel density of 267 ppi for a 6.6-inch screen
  • No NFC support limits contactless payment and data transfer capabilities
  • Optical image stabilization is absent, which can affect video and photo quality in motion or low-light situations
  • There are no stereo speakers, meaning audio output is limited to a single channel
  • The phone lacks a gyroscope and compass, restricting sensor-dependent features such as augmented reality and navigation orientation
  • No water resistance rating means the device offers no documented protection against moisture exposure
Who is this for?

The Itel P55 4G is well-suited to everyday smartphone users who prioritize battery life and storage capacity, given its 5000 mAh battery with 18W fast charging and 256GB of built-in storage with expandable memory support. The 6.6-inch IPS display with a 90Hz refresh rate makes it comfortable for casual browsing, media consumption, and social media use, while the 50 MP main camera with manual controls gives photography enthusiasts enough flexibility for everyday shooting scenarios. Users who value a feature-rich Android 13 experience — including split screen, PiP, multi-user support, and robust privacy options — will also find the software side reasonably capable for daily productivity tasks.

Who is this NOT for?

Users who rely on NFC for contactless payments or require 5G connectivity will find this phone unsuitable, as neither feature is available. The 720 x 1612 px resolution at 267 ppi on a 6.6-inch screen makes it a poor fit for those who expect sharp, detailed visuals for content creation or high-definition media viewing. It is also not a good match for users interested in sensor-heavy activities such as augmented reality, precision navigation, or fitness tracking, as the gyroscope, compass, barometer, and heart rate monitor are all absent. Additionally, the lack of water resistance makes it unsuitable for use in wet or outdoor environments where exposure to moisture is a realistic possibility.

Design:

water resistance None
weight 190 g
thickness 8 mm
width 75 mm
height 164 mm
has a rugged build
can be folded

The phone measures 164 x 75 x 8 mm and weighs 190 g, giving it a slim, standard-sized profile. It is a conventional candy-bar form factor — it cannot be folded and does not have a rugged build. No water resistance is offered, so the device is not rated for protection against moisture or dust.

Display:

Display type LCD, IPS
screen size 6.6"
pixel density 267 ppi
resolution 720 x 1612 px
refresh rate 90Hz

The display uses an IPS LCD panel measuring 6.6 inches, with a resolution of 720 x 1612 px and a pixel density of 267 ppi. It runs at a 90Hz refresh rate and supports touch input, but does not include branded damage-resistant glass, HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, or an Always-On Display mode. There is no secondary screen.

Final Verdict

The Itel P55 4G is a 4G Android 13 smartphone that covers the basics of everyday mobile use with a reasonable degree of completeness — its 5000 mAh battery, 256GB of storage, and 50 MP camera with manual controls give it a practical edge for users focused on endurance, capacity, and day-to-day photography. That said, the HD-only display, absence of NFC and 5G, and limited sensor suite place clear boundaries on who this device genuinely serves well. For casual users whose needs center on media consumption, general productivity, and reliable battery life within a 4G network environment, the Itel P55 4G delivers a functional and sufficiently equipped experience — but those with more demanding connectivity, display, or sensor requirements will find its specifications fall short.
