Apple iPhone 16 Plus vs Samsung Galaxy S25 Enterprise Edition
Our Verdict: The Samsung Galaxy S25 Enterprise Edition has the better camera on paper, 50MP versus 48MP, and the Apple iPhone 16 Plus packs the bigger battery, 4674mAh against 4000mAh, though iOS and Android manage power differently, so more mAh doesn't always mean longer battery life. The iPhone 16 Plus has the stronger screen, bigger at 6.7" against 6.2" and sharper at 460 PPI, and the iPhone 16 Plus goes up to 512GB of storage, where the S25 Enterprise Edition tops out at 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 £510 SIM-free.
