Which should you buy?
The Razr 50 Ultra edges ahead on the Mars Score (62 vs 65.6), but the 3.6-point gap is small enough that the right pick comes down to which spec advantages matter to you.
Pick the Galaxy A56 if your top frustration with your current device is running out of charge before the day ends — endurance is the lead spec here. The biggest gaps in its favor are battery capacity, promised os updates.
Pick the Razr 50 Ultra if you photograph or shoot video regularly and want the better imaging pipeline of the two. Its strongest claims are front camera, antutu, ram, among others.
Both ship with comparable main camera, 5g support, wired charging, 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.
