Apple iPhone 16 vs Samsung Galaxy S25 Enterprise Edition
Our Verdict: The Samsung Galaxy S25 Enterprise Edition leads on camera hardware with a 50MP main sensor to the Apple iPhone 16's 48MP, and the S25 Enterprise Edition has the bigger battery of the two, 4000mAh against 3561mAh, but capacity doesn't compare cleanly across iOS and Android, so it isn't a battery-life verdict on its own. The iPhone 16 offers up to 512GB of storage versus 128GB on the S25 Enterprise Edition, and the iPhone 16 has the sharper display at 461 PPI to 416. The iPhone 16 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 is the cheaper buy at £490 SIM-free.
