Google Pixel 9 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy A56 5G

Google Pixel 9 Pro

A genuine improvement over the Pixel 8 Pro, with most reviewers getting through a full day comfortably.

• Easily lasts a full day of heavy use, a marked improvement over the inconsistent battery life of the Pixel 8 Pro.
• Charging speed at 27W remains frustratingly slow compared to OnePlus and Samsung's faster options.

Samsung Galaxy A56 5G

Battery life is solid with the 5,000mAh cell easily lasting through a full day. Charging speed is adequate but not exceptional for 2025 standards.

• 5,000mAh battery comfortably gets through a full day of mixed use with room to spare
• 25W charging is functional but falls behind competitors offering 45W or faster
• No wireless charging is a notable omission at this price point
