If you prioritize camera quality and are prepared to spend more, the Apple iPhone 15 Plus with its higher-quality camera would be a better choice. However, if battery life and cost are your main concerns, the Samsung Galaxy A42 offers longer battery life and is significantly less expensive, albeit with a lower-quality camera. The iPhone 15 Plus has a slightly larger screen, which could enhance your viewing experience, but the Galaxy A42's screen is ample for most uses. The iPhone operates on iOS and the Galaxy on Android, which may influence your preference based on the ecosystem you're most comfortable with. Give Feedback
