Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra vs Samsung Galaxy S25 Enterprise Edition
Our Verdict: If you've got the Galaxy S23 Ultra, the Galaxy S25 Enterprise Edition is two years of updates on from it. The S23 Ultra 5G has a dramatically higher-resolution main camera, 200MP against the S25 Enterprise Edition's 50MP, and there's more battery in the S23 Ultra 5G, 5000mAh to 4000mAh, which should mean longer between charges in day-to-day use. The S23 Ultra 5G has the stronger screen, bigger at 6.8" against 6.2" and sharper at 500 PPI, and the S23 Ultra 5G goes up to 512GB of storage, where the S25 Enterprise Edition tops out at 128GB. Coming from the S23 Ultra 5G, the S25 Enterprise Edition is a genuine upgrade rather than a token one.
If you'd rather pay up front, the S23 Ultra 5G is the cheaper buy at £319 SIM-free.
