Samsung or Apple, which is really best? | Galaxy S25 FE vs iPhone 16e

Описание: Comparing the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE (Fan Edition) vs Apple’s iPhone 16e, two not-quite-flagship phones with an upper mid-range asking price. I’ve reviewed both the Samsung S25 FE and iPhone 16e, testing them as my full-time smartphone. So here’s how they stack up for camera abilities, gaming performance, battery life and beyond.

This Fan Edition phone is similar in size to the Plus or Edge, while Apple has gone for a more compact old-school design with the iPhone 16e. Sadly that also includes a fat moustache notch, but hey ho. Both devices offer cut-price performance vs the flagships - so the Samsung S25 FE goes Exynos 2400, while Apple slashed a GPU core for the 16e A18. Gaming is still relatively smooth, thankfully.

If you're after a flexible camera setup, the Galaxy S25 FE is the obvious choice. The iPhone 16e offers a single sensor, which struggles in softer light. But the Fan Edition, while sporting a less than stellar zoom lens, has three sensors to switch between.

Battery life is great on both of these smartphones however. Meanwhile the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE boasts Qi2 wireless charging, Google AI, beefier stereo speakers and a 120Hz display. For me, this choice is a no-brainer - but which do you prefer in this Samsung S25 FE vs iPhone 16e battle?
