A closer comparison; same series (a year apart) but an A35 Vs A56
Theme
Design
Subjective as always, I don't really have a personal view one way or the other on this - just different.
A35 has a 6.6" Vs the A56 6.7", both 120hz AMOLED but the A56 has FHD+ and HDR10+ support.
Materials
The A35 does feel surprisingly good for the price but has plastic in it's construction (frame) but Victus+ screen, the A56 on the other hand is Victus+ glass front and back with aluminium frame✅
Both have curved / sculptured sides around the buttons
Performance
Both rocking In-house Exynos,A35 has the 1380 (5nm) andA56 with the 1580 (4nm)✅
- A35 has UFS 2.1 storage Vs A56 3.1 (twice as fast, and more power efficient)
- A35 25w Vs A56 45w peak charging
- A35 1000nits Vs A56 1200nits (1900 peak), is noticeable
Geekbench
A56 has a34% lead over single core and multicore scores
A56 has a very sizable129% improvement in GPU so gamers would certainly benefit.
Camera
A35 and A56 wide is a 50mp, the UW on A35 is an 8mp Vs the A56 12mp
Here's my willing test subject,A56 TOP, A35 below:

Crop from the 50mp above
The A56 is a bit crisper with more detail.
Display
The screen clarity and brightness is a clear win for A56 with a noticeable improvement, hard to show in the photo below, but it's very crisp.✅

A56 with Buds3
Of course you would expect that the higher A line model adds something over the lower spec...lots of things here and there are just thatlittle bit better..but you pay for it, around £100 more over the A3x models.
The lack of wireless charging is a shame at this higher end of midrange.
A34, A35, A56
As always, go out for a touch and feel before making any purchase decisions, all the improvements from the A3x to A5x might be meaningful to you....or could also make no difference for your use..both great devices.
Gus Out.
