Moto G56 5G vs 13T
It depends

The lifespan decider
When specs are close, support length decides it — this is what each phone costs per month of safe use.
Category by category
Both displays are effectively the same class.
The 13T's MediaTek Dimensity 8200 Ultra is simply the faster chip.
The 13T has the stronger camera system (3 real rear lenses vs 2).
5,200mAh vs 5,000mAh — the Moto G56 5G lasts longer between charges.
The 13T is supported until Sep 2028 — 3 months longer than the Moto G56 5G.
Pound for pound, these two are equally good deals.
