Apple iPhone 15 Plus vs Samsung Galaxy A56 Enterprise Edition
Our Verdict: The Samsung Galaxy A56 Enterprise Edition has a slightly higher-resolution main camera, 50MP against the Apple iPhone 15 Plus's 48MP, and the A56 Enterprise Edition has the bigger battery of the two, 5000mAh against 4383mAh, though iOS and Android manage power differently, so more mAh doesn't always mean longer battery life. The iPhone 15 Plus 5G goes up to 512GB of storage, where the A56 Enterprise Edition tops out at 128GB, and the iPhone 15 Plus 5G has the sharper display at 460 PPI to 385.
