Apple iPhone 16 Plus vs Samsung Galaxy S25 Enterprise Edition
Our Verdict: There's only a few months between the Samsung Galaxy S25 Enterprise Edition and the Apple iPhone 16 Plus, so this one comes down to the specs. The S25 Enterprise Edition has a slightly higher-resolution main camera, 50MP against the iPhone 16 Plus's 48MP, and the iPhone 16 Plus has the bigger battery of the two, 4674mAh against 4000mAh, but capacity doesn't compare cleanly across iOS and Android, so it isn't a battery-life verdict on its own. The iPhone 16 Plus has the stronger screen, bigger at 6.7" against 6.2" and sharper at 460 PPI, and storage goes higher on the iPhone 16 Plus, up to 512GB against 128GB. The iPhone 16 Plus doesn't just win on price; it holds its own on specs too, which makes it the easy pick unless something specific draws you to the S25 Enterprise Edition.
If you'd rather pay up front, the iPhone 16 Plus is the cheaper buy at £489 SIM-free.
