Apple iPhone 15 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy A56 Enterprise Edition
Our Verdict: The Samsung Galaxy A56 Enterprise Edition has a marginally higher-resolution main camera, 50MP against the Apple iPhone 15 Pro's 48MP, and the A56 Enterprise Edition has the bigger battery of the two, 5000mAh against 3274mAh, 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 15 Pro 5G has the sharper one at 461 PPI, and the iPhone 15 Pro 5G offers up to 1TB of storage versus 128GB on the A56 Enterprise Edition. Only pay up for the iPhone 15 Pro 5G if you'll use what it offers; if not, the A56 Enterprise Edition makes more sense.
If you'd rather pay up front, the A56 Enterprise Edition is the cheaper buy at £299 SIM-free.
