We haven’t really noticed that big of a difference in everyday tasks and general gaming. In this comparison review, the Samsung Galaxy A56 5G and the Vivo V50 5G, are evaluated based on various metrics such as design, display, hardware, camera capabilities, battery life, software support, and overall value.
Camera quality test in different locations
As for the Galaxy A56 5G, Samsung didn’t change much from the previous model. It’s still rocking the same 50 megapixel main camera, 12ap ultrawide, and 5 megapixel macro sensor, and a 12 megapixel shooter for selfies. Samsung’s camera tuning is generally reliable and leans towards natural color processing with a cooler tone. Checking out some sample shots right off the bat.
We notice that the A56 delivers images with more contrast and slightly more vibrancy compared to the V50. As expected, the A56 also produces slightly cooler tones compared to the V50’s warmer renditions. Although the V50 gets the upper hand when it comes to retaining shadow detail and even produces slightly sharper images compared to the A56, which you guys can see in some of our samples once we zoom in.
Honestly, it’s really close between these two camera systems. It’s just a matter of preference between cooler tones with a green tint or warmer tones with a more magenta one. And with that said, it’s another tie here in the camera segment. For photography, both smartphones possess impressive camera setups, but the Vivo V50’s Zeiss-tuned cameras deliver slightly sharper results in various conditions. Close match in photography capabilities with preference varying based on color tones.
Who is battery king Galaxy A56 or Vivo v50
Vivo packs a more modern 6,000 mAh silicon carbon battery on the Vivo v50 with support for 90 watt flash charge. And in our usage, it held up well for a day’s worth of work and multimedia consumption. Just like its predecessor, Samsung packs in another 5,000 mAh battery in the A56. This time with a quicker 45watt wired charging rate.
Both phones can definitely last a day, especially when new. Our review of the V50 even claims the phone can last up to 2 days, which is pretty wild. And when comparing battery benchmarks in our PC Mark 3.0 battery tests, the Galaxy A56 lasted 15 hours and 15 minutes, while the Vivo V50 scored 21 hours and 3 minutes. Vivo V50’s 6,000 mAh battery offers longer usage and faster charging over the A56’s battery life.
Ui and looks wise Galaxy A56
When it comes to battery, it seems pretty clear that the Vivo V50 takes this one, too, for its better battery life and faster charging rate. There is one more thing Samsung has up its panels and that’s 1 UI. The Samsung Galaxy A56 5G features a traditional design with an aluminum frame and Gorilla Glass Victus Plus, while the Vivo V50 5G opts for a sleeker, curvier design with higher water resistance ratings. The Galaxy A56 ships with the latest 1 UI 7 based off Android 15 out of the box. And even though it isn’t the full flagship 1 UI7 experience, lacking Dex support and such, it’s still pretty solid nonetheless.
The Vivo V50 runs Funouch OS 15 based on Android 15 as well. And we’re all sure that a lot of Vivo users can vouch that we can still get a pretty clean experience, especially after turning off notifications for very push notification heavy default apps. And so, since actual UI usage can still be counted as preferential, let’s take a look at software support. Both devices feature AMOLED displays with similar resolutions and refresh rates but differ in immersion and bezel thickness.
Updates of Vivo V5 5G
Samsung promises the A56 will be getting 6 years of major OS updates and security patches. while Vivo has vouched that the Vivo V50 will be getting three major Android upgrades and up to four years of security updates. So, without much of a surprise, Samsung takes the round here for its alleged longer software support. Before we conclude this matchup, it’s pretty clear that the Vivo V5 5G has come out on top so far in terms of overall value. But there is still one more thing we have to talk about, and that’s price.
When it comes to software longevity, Samsung promises six years of updates, which surpasses Vivo’s commitment of three major upgrades and some security updates. Ultimately, while the Vivo V50 offers better battery life and aesthetics, the Samsung A56 is recommended for its overall performance and longer software commitment, leading to a tie in value.
Finel thoughts in our opinian
I guess it is safe to say we can give the A56 another point for budget, resulting in a tie match. In conclusion, there is a clear winner, and it’s the Samsung Galaxy A56 scoring. The Galaxy A56 slightly outperforms the V50 in general performance, while the V50 handles graphics better.
If they want the stronger phone in terms of overall performance, longer software support, and a decent set of cameras. That’s for both the front and the back. We recommend the Vivo V55G for those who want a handset with thinner display bezels compared to something like the A56. A higher IP rating, decent cameras, and better battery life and charging.
