Samsung Galaxy A36 vs Samsung Galaxy S25 Enterprise Edition
Our Verdict: Same maker, different budgets: the Galaxy A36 is the cheaper option and the Galaxy S25 Enterprise Edition the premium one. The A36 has the bigger battery of the two, 5000mAh against 4000mAh, which should mean longer between charges in day-to-day use, and the A36 has the bigger screen at 6.7" against 6.2", while the S25 Enterprise Edition has the sharper one at 416 PPI. The A36 offers up to 256GB of storage versus 128GB on the S25 Enterprise Edition, and the S25 Enterprise Edition is the lighter phone at 162g against 195g. The A36 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 A36 is the cheaper buy at £265 SIM-free.
