Buying advice

Which should you buy?

These two are nearly even on the Mars Score (62 vs 61.5). The decision isn't about overall quality — both clear the bar — it's about which specific trade-offs fit your use.

Pick the Galaxy A56 if you push the hardware — gaming, on-device AI, heavy multitasking — and the extra compute headroom is worth the trade-offs. The biggest gaps in its favor are wired charging, antutu, weight, among others.

Pick the Moto G Power 5G (2025) if you photograph or shoot video regularly and want the better imaging pipeline of the two. Its strongest claims are front camera, pixel density, screen size, among others.

Both ship with comparable battery capacity, ram, main camera, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.

Bottom line: there is no wrong answer here — match the spec advantages to how you actually use the product. The Mars Score parity tells you both are well-rounded; the differences are about trade-offs, not quality.
