Itel P55 And P55+ Design
Both smartphones have a punch-hole design at the front with a slightly thicker chin at the bottom. However, while the P55 has three circular cutouts on the rear panel (one of which houses the flash) in a square island, the P55+ houses two separate camera sensors in circular cutouts, aligned vertically.
The Itel P55 comes in Brilliant Gold, Aurora Blue, and Moonlit Black colors. The Itel P55+ comes in Meteor Black and Royal Green (with vegan leather finish) colorways.

Both handsets feature a large 6.6-inch HD+ screen that supports a 90Hz refresh rate. The screen also houses a Dynamic Bar at the top, enabling users to quickly access apps or functions running in the background. Under the hood, both phones run on the Unisoc T606 SoC, an octa-core chipset.
The Itel P55 comes in two memory options: 4GB and 8GB. Both support virtual memory expansion, which adds an additional 8GB of RAM. Further, these models ship with 128GB of UFS 202 storage.

Another feature that’s exclusive to the Plus variant is the fingerprint reader. Connectivity options on the smartphones include 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth v5.0, GPS, and a USB-C port.
