So, you are in the market for a powerful compact flagship phones, and you are ready to excavate the world’s heavy, Samsung Galaxy S25 and Apple iPhone 16 Pro for a deep excavation in your pocket? In the case, of course, you do not necessarily invest in the ecosystem.

When it comes to hardware, software and price, two devices are very different. The only common base they share is footprint. These are the latest and largest compact premium solutions of Samsung and Apple, so it is only natural to keep them head with heads.

For the beginning, you can compare full glasses sheets or continue with the evaluation of our editor directly In the following text.

Size comparison

If the portability is a top priority, then the Galaxy S25 is a clear answer here. Certainly, it performs slightly small, 0.1 “is small, but it is quite more compact in real life. It is small, narrow and thin, so it looks like a very small tool in hand. Liters do not mention lighters. Have to do it.

The Galaxy S25 is more than 30 grams lighter than its competitor, and although it does not seem much, it is a huge difference in the hand.

Build a quality-wise, the iPhone has little advantage because it can be offered the latest and largest apple (titanium frame and ceramic shield glass), while Galaxy S25 is one from S25 Ultra with an aluminum frame and gorilla glass Victus Step down is 2.

Ingress security is matched in IP68, although Apple certifies its devices to face immersion at much deeper than Samsung (6m vs. 1.5m).

Display comparison

Both devices provide excellent displays and are also very similar in size. However, the iPhone takes the lead with dolby vision support, slightly more resolution (it is not that it matters a lot) and bright. Don’t misunderstand us, the panel of S25 is also completely fine in the day, but it is difficult to ignore the Max Brightness of the iPhone 16 Pro – mid 1,700 bowl vs. around 1,400 nets.

However, keep in mind. Even though Apple uses it as a feature, it takes a much higher screen real estate than the punch-hole for the selfie cam on S25.

battery life

If we look strictly Active use scoreOne can argue that the iPhone 16 Pro has only better battery life. The Galaxy S25 also has a long call runtime and a slightly better gaming score, but 16 Pro has offered a slightly better video streaming score to S25 to scroll S25 with a landslide in the web browsing/social network, which is certainly the main two There are uses. Modern-day smartphones.

Charging speed

Neither the device has an impressive charging rate, and it is also difficult to determine the winner here. According to our tests, the Galaxy S25 is a clear winner of the full charging cycle by extending the iPhone 16 Pro from about 21 minutes.

In contrast, the iPhone 16 Pro S25 defeats the first two posts with a few percent at 15 and 30 minutes. Nevertheless, we will win the Galaxy S25 as it is at the end meaningfully, while the iPhone is only faster than negligent in the first 30 minutes.

Speaker test

The Galaxy S25 and the iPhone 16 Pro Trade fly in this category, by winning loudness in the east and by offering better tuning or sound quality, although you prefer to call it.

We find the tuning warmer of the iPhone 16 Pro with more expressive bass, so the sound tracks full and livevelier.

Display

Galaxy S25 depends on Qualcomm’s latest and largest Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, a slightly more watches on the main CPU core with “for Galaxy” designation and GPU’s suggestion compared to standard chipsets used in other Android phones on the main CPU core. Gives

On the other hand, the iPhone 16 Pro, in-house designed chip, runs on the Apple A18 Pro, which historically improved its rivals, but not this year.

Both devices provide 128GB internal storage by default, which is very low for high-ended smartphones, but while S25 can give you 512GB best, 16 Pro has 1TB version. The NVME storage of 16 Pro is also much faster than the UFS 4.0 of S25. The 128GB version of the Galaxy also possibly uses slow storage as the UFS 4.0 is available only in the shape of 256GB and above.

In particular, all the iPhone 16 Pro configuration has 8GB of RAM, while the S25 runs on 12GB, no matter the storage.

Benchmark performance

As we mentioned earlier, Apple’s silicon has historically been more powerful than its peers, but this year, Qualcomm pursued itself and introduced a more powerful chip. Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy made A18 Pro better than 21%in multi-core scenarios, at least between Galaxy S25 and iPhone 16 Pro. In the GPU-HEAVY workload, 3dmark’s wildlife extremes such as S25 defeated the iPhone 16 Pro by about 38%.

Camera comparison

Two devices have very different camera hardware. Looking perfectly by the specs sheet, the iPhone 16 Pro is a clear winner here. It has a large main 48MP sensor, a 12MP telephoto camera with 5X optical zoom and a more powerful 48MP ultravide camera.

The Galaxy S25 sits in the opposite corner with a 50MP main camera, 3x optical zoom with 10MP telephoto shooter and 12MP ultravide snapper.

The selfie game of both handsets is very good-12MP front-facing shooter with autofocus for Calaxy S25 and 12MP selfie, autofocus-capable unit for iPhone 16 Pro.

image quality

For real camera comparison, we see a similar quality with a slight advantage of the iPhone 16 Pro. In almost all cases, the iPhone 16 Pro will give you a little more expansion and fast stil with a broad dynamic range. This is true in both daylight and low-light scenarios of the day. And before you turn on 24MP mode.

iPhone 16 Pro: 0.6X • 1x • 2x • 3x • 5x

The only case that performs better than the S25 iPhone 16 Pro is in 3x zoom, which should be expected that the iPhone requires crop with the main camera, while the Galaxy S25 has a dedicated 3x telephoto unit. On the other hand, 16 Pro has a 5x camera, which creates good photos in its respective focal length. We were surprised by the Galaxy S25’s ability to shoot in 5X, however, it becomes very close to the iPhone 16 Pro in daylight landscapes.

video quality

Below, we have some framegrabs from videos taken by two phones at each focal length, so it is easy to compare each other.

Video recording is the place where the iPhone 16 Pro is Excel. The 16 Pro distributes better videos in the night and day better, except for ultravide camera, where both devices produce some similar videos and in 3x zoom mode, where Galaxy S25 would have an edge due to its physical zoom cam in Galaxy S25 Is.

Decision

The Galaxy S25 and iPhone 16 Pro are definitely one of the best compact flagship phones. However, the iPhone 16 Pro looks like a better phone, with its bright performance, better camera system, long battery life and better-rich speakers. But it is also a more expensive phone. It sells for € 1,000 in Europe and for more than $ 1,000 in the US, so it asks a galaxy S25+ (when you equals for storage), while the Galaxy S25 € 800/$ 800 asks. This is a difference of 200 rupees, which could hardly not be noticed.

In addition to the mentioned benefits, the iPhone has UWB support, satellite messaging and more premium build. It is not necessary that there are game-changer features, but some of you can appreciate them.

On the other hand, the Galaxy S25 is lighter and more compact than both, it is slightly faster to charge, packs more raw horsepower under the hood and is particularly cheap. And if you are in that AI accessories, you can immediately enjoy the most features on Samsung’s UI software, while Apple has to distribute all its employed AI-operated facilities yet, releasing them alone in Europe Give
