Now that the Galaxy S25 series is official, you might be considering picking up a new smartphone.
Of course, this is going to be a comparison of the phones on-paper.
Screens and dimensions
Let’s start with Samsung.

It measures 146.9 x 70.5 x 7.2 mm, and weighs 162 grams.
It measures 158.4 x 75.8 x 7.3 mm, and weighs 190 grams.
Finally, there’s the S25 Ultra, the largest of the bunch.
It has a 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED display, with a resolution of 3120 x 1440.
It measures 162.8 x 77.6 x 8.2 mm, and weighs 218 grams.
Turning to the iPhone 16 series, there’s the iPhone 16 itself.
That’s slightly sharper than the S25’s 1080p display, but not by much.
It measures 147.6 x 71.6 x 7.8 mm and weighs 170 grams.

But for the time being, here are the specs.
