The Galaxy A56 comes with a 4nm-based Exynos 1580, while the Galaxy A36 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 3
With these new built processors both Galaxy A56 and Galaxy A36 promises to deliver the best performance to its user, but how do they compare in real world scenario?
We have made a complete easy chart for the buyers to easily understand and choose which Galaxy device suits them the best.
Performance Benchmarks: Galaxy A56 vs Galaxy A36
1. Geekbench (CPU Performance)
- Single-core score:
- Galaxy A56: 1,380
- Galaxy A36: 1,023
- Multi-core score:
- Galaxy A56: 3,877
- Galaxy A36: 2,690
One of the most popular apps to check and test CPU performance is Geekbench because it runs both casual and intensive tasks in background produce single-core as well as multi-core score.
As we can see above the Galaxy A56 is having higher score then the other making it a better CPU device
2. AnTuTu (Overall Performance)
- Galaxy A56: 9,19,985
- Galaxy A36: 6,55,225
AnTuTu evaluates overall performance by testing CPU, GPU, memory, and user experience.
As expected, the Galaxy A56 outperforms the Galaxy A36, with a significantly higher score, this higher score translates to better performance in video rendering, app opening, gaming test on the Galaxy A56.
3. CPU Throttle Test (Sustained Performance)
- Galaxy A56: 44.3%
- Galaxy A36: 50.4%
The CPU throttle test measures sustained performance during extended heavy workloads. In this test, the Galaxy A36 performs slightly better, showing a lower throttle percentage.
This tells us that Galaxy A36 may maintain its peak performance for long period of time without experiencing performance dip.
4. Gaming Test (FPS & Temperature Increase)
For gaming, we tested both device with high graphics games for the best result like CODM (Call of Duty), Real Racing 3, BGMI (Battle Grounds Mobile India).
- Galaxy A56 Performance (Average FPS):
- CODM: 45 FPS
- Real Racing 3: 111.5 FPS

- CODM: 52.3 FPS
- Real Racing 3: 93.1 FPS
- BGMI: 37.2 FPS
In terms of frame rates the Galaxy A36 outperforms the Galaxy A56 in two of the three games we tested, showing a higher average FPS (Frame Per Second) in CODM and BGMI
Verdict: Which Phone Should You Choose?
Galaxy A56: The Powerhouse
The Galaxy A56 clearly leads in benchmarks like Geekbench, AnTuTu, making it a better option for those user who likes raw performance
The higher scores translates to fast app loading time, smoother gaming experience and overall system responsive.
However the Galaxy A36 gets heated fast on excessive time of running games which may lead to thermal throttling and slightly low performance over time
Priced at ₹41,999, the A56 is a solid choice for users seeking the best CPU and GPU performance in the midrange category.
Galaxy A36: The Efficient Performer
On the other hand, the Galaxy A36, priced at ₹32,999, offers a fantastic balance of performance and efficiency.
Which is slightly behind then the benchmarks of A56 the A36 shines when it comes to sustained performance, cooler temperatures, and gaming.
This phone achieves higher higher FPS in two of three games with maintaining low temperature of the device this makes much efficient for mobile gamers.
Final Thoughts
If you’re looking for the raw power to handle intense tasks and games with ease, the Galaxy A56 should be your pick. But if you prioritize better thermal management and long-lasting performance at a more affordable price, the Galaxy A36 might be the better fit for you.
Note: The price which are mentioned above in the blog were taken when the Mobile Phones were launched.
