Pick the Galaxy A56 if you carry the device everywhere and weight or thickness has been the deciding factor before. The biggest gaps in its favor are weight, promised os updates.
Pick the Magic7 Pro if you photograph or shoot video regularly and want the better imaging pipeline of the two. Its strongest claims are front camera, antutu, wired charging, among others.
Both ship with comparable main camera, refresh rate, 5g support, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.
