Samsung Galaxy A15 5G vs Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge
Our Verdict: Same maker, different budgets: the Galaxy A15 5G is the cheaper option and the Galaxy S25 Edge the premium one. The S25 Edge has a far higher-resolution main camera, 200MP against the A15 5G's 50MP, and there's more battery in the A15 5G, 5000mAh to 3900mAh, which usually means longer between charges. The S25 Edge has the stronger screen, bigger at 6.7" against 6.5" and sharper at 513 PPI, and the S25 Edge offers up to 512GB of storage versus 128GB on the A15 5G. Only pay up for the S25 Edge if you'll use what it offers; if not, the A15 5G makes more sense.
If you'd rather pay up front, the A15 5G is the cheaper buy at £95 SIM-free.
