Samsung Galaxy A15 vs Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge
Our Verdict: Same maker, different budgets: the Galaxy A15 is the cheaper option and the Galaxy S25 Edge the premium one. The S25 Edge has the better camera on paper, 200MP versus 50MP, and only the S25 Edge is a 5G phone; the A15 maxes out at 4G. There's more battery in the A15, 5000mAh to 3900mAh, which usually means longer between charges, and the S25 Edge has the stronger screen, bigger at 6.7" against 6.5" and sharper at 513 PPI. The S25 Edge is the one to have if you want what it adds, but the A15 is the smarter buy if you'd rather keep the money.
If you'd rather pay up front, the A15 is the cheaper buy at £100 SIM-free.
