iPhone 17 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy S25 FE

iPhone 17 Pro

Shares the Pro Max aluminum unibody and camera plateau design in a more compact 6.3-inch form factor, making it the best small flagship available.

• The compact 6.3-inch size with aluminum unibody hits the sweet spot for one-handed use without sacrificing premium feel
• Same vapor chamber cooling as Pro Max keeps the phone comfortable during extended gaming and video recording sessions
• At 194g, it is noticeably lighter than the Pro Max, making it more comfortable for all-day use

Samsung Galaxy S25 FE

The S25 FE adopts the flat-edge design language of the S25 series, giving it a modern, premium look. However, build quality concerns have emerged, with the polycarbonate back and Gorilla Glass Victus scratching more easily than expected.

• Flat-edge design mirrors the mainline S25 series — it looks like a flagship from the outside
• IP68 water and dust resistance is a welcome inclusion at this price tier
