If you prioritize a higher quality camera and better performance, the Apple iPhone 15 would be a great choice, although it is significantly more expensive than the Samsung Galaxy A42. However, the Galaxy A42 offers longer battery life and a larger screen at a lower cost. The iPhone 15 has a glass back, a more advanced processor, and higher photo and video quality, but it offers less storage at its base price. On the other hand, the Galaxy A42 has a plastic back and a lower quality camera but comes with more battery life. The iPhone runs on iOS and the Galaxy A42 on Android, which could also affect your decision based on your preferred ecosystem. Give Feedback
