The A56 is slimmer and lighter, and it’s fully water and dust resistant (IP67). The OnePlus 13R looks and feels premium too but isn’t as water-safe.
Display
Both have smooth 120Hz AMOLED screens, but the 13R gets brighter—great for outdoor use. The A56 still looks sharp and vivid, especially indoors.
Performance
OnePlus 13R uses a flagship-level processor, making it super fast for gaming and multitasking. A56 is smooth too, but more balanced than beastly.
Cameras
13R has a cool 2x zoom lens for portraits. A56 adds a macro and ultra-wide for variety. Both take great photos in good light, but Samsung’s image tuning feels more natural.
Battery & Charging
13R packs a massive 6000mAh battery with fast charging—great for power users. A56 lasts all day too and charges fairly quick.
Software
Samsung promises longer updates (6 years!), and One UI is cleaner and more polished than OxygenOS on the 13R.
Price
Galaxy A56 is more affordable and offers amazing value. OnePlus 13R is pricier but gives you top-tier performance.
Verdict:If you want real performance, stunning visuals, and flagship features, the OnePlus 13R completely destroys the Galaxy A56. The A56 struggles with its mid-range Exynos chip while the 13R flies with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3—it's like comparing a sports car to a scooter. The display on the A56? Bright indoors, but step outside and it fades like a cheap sticker. Meanwhile, the 13R punches out insane brightness and buttery-smooth visuals. And don’t even get started on the cameras—the A56 throws in gimmicks like a macro lens no one uses, while the 13R gives you a proper 2× telephoto for sharp, detailed shots. Add a monster 6000mAh battery with fast charging, and it’s clear: the A56 doesn’t stand a chance. The 13R simply plays in a higher league.
