Here’s a comparison between the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE and the Apple iPhone 16e basis their specs, features, and prices.

The iPhone 16e is equipped with the latest A18 Bionic 3nm chip, which offers one of the best CPU and GPU speeds and smoother app launches and multitasking. The Galaxy S25 FE comes with the Exynos 2400 4nm processor, which lags in overall performance when compared to Apple’s advanced chipset.

The iPhone 16e features a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR display with an edge-to-edge appearance. The Galaxy S25 FE has a much bigger 6.7-inch full HD+ Amoled display that supports a peak refresh rate of 120Hz.

The iPhone 16e packs a smaller battery (4,005mAh) as compared to the Galaxy S25 FE (4,900mAh).

The iPhone 16e is rated IP68 for water and dust resistance and comes with Ceramic Shield display protection. The S25 FE, too, has an IP68 rating with Gorilla Glass Victus Plus screen guard.
