Samsung Galaxy A56 5G vs Samsung Galaxy S25

Samsung Galaxy A56 5G

The A56 5G impresses with a design that belies its mid-range pricing. The glass back and metal frame give it a premium feel, and reviewers consistently praise how it looks and feels more expensive than it is.

• Glass back and metal frame create a genuinely premium look and feel that rivals phones twice the price
• IP67 water and dust resistance is excellent to have at this price point
• At 190g, it's comfortable to hold and use one-handed despite the 6.7-inch screen
• The design language closely mirrors the flagship S25 series, which is a positive for brand consistency

Samsung Galaxy S25

The Galaxy S25 retains the same flat-edge design language as its predecessor with minimal visual changes. It's slightly lighter and thinner, but you'd be hard-pressed to tell them apart.

• I swear these are the new phones, even though they look exactly like last year
