The mid-range smartphone market is more competitive than ever in 2026, and Samsung’s own lineup is leading the charge. With the recent launch of the Samsung Galaxy A37, many buyers are wondering if they should save a few dollars or step up to the Galaxy A56.


While the A37 is a quite capable device, the Galaxy A56 justifies its higher price tag with a handful of flagship-level refinements that make a massive difference in daily use. If you are on the fence, here are five reasons why the Galaxy A56 is the smarter buy.


1. Superior Exynos 1580 Processing Power


At the heart of the Galaxy A56 sits the Exynos 1580 chipset, paired with the Xclipse 540 GPU (co-developed with AMD). This is a noticeable step up from the Exynos 1480 found in the A37.

What does this mean for you? If you play graphic-intensive games, edit high-resolution videos, or constantly jump between heavy apps, the A56 will feel significantly smoother. The upgraded GPU handles sustained workloads much better, meaning fewer dropped frames when gaming and a snappier user interface overall.


2. A Premium Aluminum Frame


While both phones look similar from a distance and feature tough Gorilla Glass Victus+ on the front and back, they feel entirely different in the hand.


The Galaxy A37 relies on a standard mid-range chassis, but the Galaxy A56 upgrades to a premium aluminum frame. This not only gives the A56 a cold, rigid, flagship-tier feel but also provides better structural integrity and drop resistance over time. If you care about how a phone feels without a case, the A56 wins easily.


3. Upgraded Camera Versatility


Both phones boast a reliable 50MP primary sensor with optical image stabilization (OIS), but the A56 pulls ahead when it comes to the supporting lenses:


  • Ultrawide Lens: The A56 features a sharper 12MP ultrawide camera, compared to the A37's 8MP sensor. This means better detail and less distortion when shooting expansive landscapes or large group photos.


  • Selfie Video: If you vlog, or make high-quality video calls, the A56 is the clear choice. It supports 4K video recording at 30fps (and 1080p at 60fps) on the front-facing camera, whereas the A37's selfie video maxes out at a standard 1080p at 30fps.  


4. Faster On-Device AI Processing


Artificial Intelligence is baked into Samsung's modern One UI experience. Thanks to the advanced Neural Processing Unit (NPU) inside the Exynos 1580, the Galaxy A56 handles AI tasks noticeably faster.


Features like the Object Eraser, enhanced subject detection in portrait mode, and AI-assisted photo remastering work with less lag. The A56 can isolate subjects from complex backgrounds faster and more accurately, giving your portrait shots a cleaner, more professional bokeh effect.


5. Better Future-Proofing for Long-Term Value


Samsung has promised an incredible 6 years of OS upgrades and security updates for both the Galaxy A56 and the Galaxy A37. However, software longevity is only as good as the hardware running it.


Because the Galaxy A56 starts with a much faster processor, stronger graphics capabilities, and superior connectivity (like Wi-Fi 6), it will handle Android 20 (and beyond) much better than the A37 will. When we reach the end of the decade, the A37 may start feeling sluggish under the weight of heavier operating systems, while the A56's extra hardware headroom will keep it running smoothly.
