Apple iPhone 13 vs Samsung Galaxy A56 Enterprise Edition
Our Verdict: The Samsung Galaxy A56 Enterprise Edition leads on camera hardware with a 50MP main sensor to the Apple iPhone 13's 12MP, and there's more battery in the A56 Enterprise Edition, 5000mAh to 3227mAh, but capacity doesn't compare cleanly across iOS and Android, so it isn't a battery-life verdict on its own. The A56 Enterprise Edition has the bigger screen at 6.7" against 6.1", while the iPhone 13 has the sharper one at 457 PPI, and storage goes higher on the iPhone 13, up to 512GB against 128GB. The A56 Enterprise Edition is the one to have if you want what it adds, but the iPhone 13 is the smarter buy if you'd rather keep the money.
If you'd rather pay up front, the iPhone 13 is the cheaper buy at £184 SIM-free.
