Apple iPhone 16 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy A36 Enterprise Edition
Our Verdict: There's only a few months between the Samsung Galaxy A36 Enterprise Edition and the Apple iPhone 16 Pro, so this one comes down to the specs. The A36 Enterprise Edition has a marginally higher-resolution main camera, 50MP against the iPhone 16 Pro's 48MP, and the A36 Enterprise Edition has the bigger battery of the two, 5000mAh against 3582mAh, but capacity doesn't compare cleanly across iOS and Android, so it isn't a battery-life verdict on its own. The A36 Enterprise Edition has the bigger screen at 6.7" against 6.3", while the iPhone 16 Pro has the sharper one at 458 PPI, and storage goes higher on the iPhone 16 Pro, up to 1TB against 128GB. Only pay up for the A36 Enterprise Edition if you'll use what it offers; if not, the iPhone 16 Pro makes more sense.
