\nSamsung Galaxy S25 vs Apple iPhone 16 Pro: Design
\nDesign-wise, there are some similarities between the two phones, They both have a similar shape, with rounded corners, though those corners are more rounded on the iPhone 16 Pro. Their displays are flat, as are their backplates. You\u2019ll also find a flat frame on both smartphones. That\u2019s where similarities end, though. The Galaxy S25 is made out of aluminum and glass, while the iPhone 16 Pro uses titanium and glass, with a little bit of aluminum.
\nYou\u2019ll notice that the Galaxy S25 has a display camera hole on the front, it\u2019s centered up there. The iPhone 16 Pro has a much larger pill-shaped cutout, the so-called Dynamic Island. Samsung handset includes power\/lock and volume up and down buttons on the right-hand side, those are the only buttons on the device. The iPhone 16 Pro, on the other hand, has a lot more buttons to speak of.
\nOn the right, you\u2019ll find the phone power\/lock key, and also a Camera Control button. On the left, the volume up and down buttons are located, along with an Action Key. You\u2019ll notice that their rear camera setups also look notably different, even though there are three on the back of both smartphones. The Galaxy S25 has three vertically-aligned cameras, and each of that cameras is its own island. The iPhone 16 Pro, on the flip side, has all three cameras inside a single camera island. Both setups are placed in the top-left corner, though.
\nThe Galaxy S25 does have a slightly smaller display, and it\u2019s shorter, narrower, and thinner than the iPhone 16 Pro. It\u2019s also considerably lighter at 162 grams. The iPhone 16 Pro weighs 199 grams. Both phones come with an IP68 certification for water and dust resistance, and both are quite slippery in the hand.
\nSamsung Galaxy S25 vs Apple iPhone 16 Pro: Display
\nThe Samsung Galaxy S25 features a 6.2-inch fullHD+ (2340 x 1080) Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X display. That panel is flat, and it supports an adaptive refresh rate of up to 120Hz. It also supports HDR10+ content and has a peak brightness of 2,600 nits. The screen-to-body ratio is around 91%, while the display aspect ratio is 19.5:9. You\u2019ll also get the Gorilla Glass Victus 2 here, on top of the phone\u2019s display.
\nApple iPhone 16 Pro
\nThe iPhone 16 Pro, on the flip side, has a 6.3-inch LTPO Super Retina XDR OLED display. The resolution here is 2622 x 1206. That panel is also flat, and it supports an adaptive refresh rate of up to 120Hz. It also has HDR10 and Dolby Vision support and a peak brightness of 2,000 nits. The screen-to-body ratio is around 90%, while the display aspect ratio is 19.5:9. The Ceramic Shield Glass protects this screen.
\nBoth of these displays are very good, actually. They\u2019re both more than sharp enough, and quite vivid too. They also provide great viewing angles and good touch response. The blacks are as deep as you\u2019d expect them to be, and both displays are well-protected. Despite the fact the Galaxy S25 technically can get a bit brighter, that\u2019s not something you\u2019ll notice. They\u2019re both bright enough. Neither display offers high-frequency PWM dimming, though.
\nSamsung Galaxy S25 vs Apple iPhone 16 Pro: Performance
\nQualcomm\u2019s Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy SoC fuels the Samsung Galaxy S25. That is a 3nm processor and a slightly overclocked variant of the Snapdragon 8 Elite. It\u2019s the best chip Qualcomm has to offer. It is paired with 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM inside the phone, along with UFS 4.0 flash storage.
\nThe iPhone 16 Pro, on the flip side, comes with the Apple A18 Pro processor. That is also a 3nm processor, and the best Apple has to offer. It is paired with 8GB of RAM, and NVMe flash storage. Neither phone offers storage expansion, in case you were wondering. As you can see, they\u2019re both quite powerful hardware-wise.
\nThe performance in day-to-day tasks is outstanding on both smartphones. They can open apps really fast, and also jump between them, and do various other tasks. Image and video processing is not a problem on either phone, and the same goes for multimedia consumption, browsing, and basically anything else you can think of.
\nWhen it comes to gaming, both smartphones can do the job with ease. Even when it comes to the most demanding games, these two smartphones do the job without a problem. Do note that they will get quite warm during such tasks, however, but that\u2019s not really a problem. They never got too hot to hold, or anything like that.
\nSamsung Galaxy S25 vs Apple iPhone 16 Pro: Battery
\nA 4,000mAh battery sits inside the Galaxy S25. The iPhone 16 Pro, on the other hand, has a 3,582mAh battery on the inside. While the iPhone 16 Pro\u2019s battery size is actually good, as iPhones usually have smaller battery packs due to the way iOS works, the one inside the Galaxy S25 is not all that impressive. Battery capacity is not everything, though, so the Galaxy S25 may surprise you.
\nWe have been using the device for a bit thus far, but not long enough to give you some proper information about the battery life. We do know that the iPhone 16 Pro has really, really good battery life, though, so that won\u2019t be easy to compete with. Based on what we\u2019ve seen thus far, the Galaxy S25 does have better battery life than its predecessor, and by quite a margin. As I said, though, we still didn\u2019t test it all the way through. More information will be included in our full review of the phone.
\nIn terms of charging, the Samsung Galaxy S25 supports 25W wired, 15W wireless (Qi2 Ready), and 4.5W reverse wireless charging. The iPhone 16 Pro, on the other hand, supports 38W wired, 25W MagSafe wireless, 15W Qi2 wireless, 7.5W Qi wireless, and 4.5W reverse wired charging. Neither phone comes with a charger in the box. Neither phone charges particularly fast, by the way.
\nSamsung Galaxy S25 vs Apple iPhone 16 Pro: Cameras
\nBoth of these phones have three cameras on the back, but they\u2019re quite different in comparison. The Samsung Galaxy S25 includes a 50-megapixel main camera (1\/1.56-inch sensor), along with a 12-megapixel ultrawide unit (120-degree FoV, 1\/2.55-inch sensor size), and a 10-megapixel telephoto camera (3x optical zoom, 1\/3.94-inch sensor size).
\nSamsung Galaxy S25
\nThe iPhone 16 Pro, on the other hand, has a 48-megapixel main camera (1\/1.28-inch sensor size), a 48-megapixel ultrawide camera, and a 12-megapixel periscope telephoto camera (1\/3.06-inch sensor size, 5x optical zoom). The iPhone 16 Pro also has a LiDAR scanner, unlike the Galaxy S25.
\nWhen it comes to main camera photos, the iPhone 16 Pro takes the cake. The photos, more often than not, look closer to real life, with a bit more detail, and they\u2019re usually well-balanced. The Galaxy S25 still has some pain points from its predecessor, with artificial saturation, oversharpening at times, and so on. They both do a good job in low light, but the iPhone 16 Pro photos simply look better.
\nUltrawide cameras are good on both ends, but the ones on the iPhone 16 Pro does provide more details. The Galaxy S25 has a regular telephoto camera, compared to a periscope telephoto unit on the iPhone 16 Pro. Apple\u2019s handset does a better job at longer zoom ranges, while it\u2019s a closer call up to 3x.
\nAudio
\nStereo speakers are included inside both of these smartphones. The ones inside the Galaxy S25 are slightly louder when directly compared, while the sound quality is very good from both sets of speakers.
\nThere is no audio jack on either phone, but you can use your wired headphones thanks to their Type-C ports, you\u2019ll need a dongle though. In regards to wireless audio, the Galaxy S25 comes with Bluetooth 5.4, while the iPhone 16 Pro offers Bluetooth 5.3.
