Deciding which mobile buying has never been easy. But in the mid -range, where prices go up and differences are refined, the thing gets serious. It is no longer just about how much you pay: it’s about What experience you get in return. Because the mobile you choose today will accompany you at work, in your spare time, in each photo and each call.
That is why in WorldOfSoftware we have prepared a new video for our YouTube channel with one of our favorite formats: the versus, where we have already faced the iPhone 16 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro, the customization layers of Samsung and Xiaomi, and much more.
This time is the turn of the iPhone 16E and the Samsung Galaxy A56, two models that represent the best that Apple and Samsung have to offer in the middle-high range. And we do it with who knows best to put order in this type of battles: Mario Arroyo, our partner expert in comparisons, who takes the magnifying glass again to analyze, Round to Round, which mobile offers more.
The first impression enters the eyes, and here we start with the Design and screen. The iPhone is committed to a 6.1 -inch panel that Mario defines as “the perfect size”, comfortable in hand and balanced. The Galaxy A56, on the other hand, rises to 6.7 inches, but is presented “quite well compacted, and with a finer body than the iPhone.” It is not just size, but also how the content is shown: image quality, refreshment rate, brightness.
Performance is another key fronts. Apple brings to the fight its A18 Bionic, a chip with muscle that has already shown what it is capable of doing. Samsung responds with exynos 1580, and experience, according to Mario, is fluid in both cases: “The two behave well with demanding applications, and in video games the performance of both is optimal.”
It might seem that the winner is clear … but no.
One of the most classic duels arrives then: cameras. The 16E iPhone maintains a single sensor configuration. Samsung, on the other hand, bets on three. It might seem that the winner is clear … but not. Here the quality of the processing, performance in different conditions and, above all, the coherence between what you see and what you get. The number of lenses is not everything, and the video makes it very clear. As our partner says in the comparison: “The photos of the iPhone seem to me a warmer tad; in the Samsung, however, they tend to look colder. In the end, that goes in tastes.”
In the battery section, both models promise to reach the end of the day without dramas. However, there are differences in energy management, loading times and how they behave under intensive use. And if you are one of those who use the mobile for absolutely everything, it is convenient to pay attention to this round. You can make a difference in day to day. As an advance we can say that “we are, without a doubt, before two of the best autonomies of the mid -range, more than by large battery numbers, by systems optimization, and if one of the two lasts more than the other is really difficult to measure.”
But if there is a round that generates debate, that is the Price. Because one thing is what each terminal offers, and another very different what they cost. This is where decisions become personal. Is it worth what the iPhone costs? Does the Samsung offer more for less? Mario analyzes each point, compares, and leaves the ball on your roof.
And of course, we could not close this versus without talking about artificial intelligence. The iPhone 16E already arrives compatible with Apple Intelligence, available in Spanish and operational in Spain, although with some functions to deploy. The Galaxy A56 also includes Galaxy AI, but its proposal is somewhat more discreet than that of the brand’s flagship models. Even so, it is an aspect that begins to weigh more and more when choosing mobile.
Who wins this confrontation? You will discover that at the end of the video. Because this is not only of specifications, it goes from experience. We invite you to give the play button to discover what your ideal purchase option could be.
