Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max vs HONOR Magic V3 5G
Our Verdict: The HONOR Magic V3 5G leads on camera hardware with a 50MP main sensor to the Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max's 12MP, plus a 20MP selfie camera against 12MP, and only the V3 5G is a 5G phone; the iPhone 11 Pro Max maxes out at 4G. The V3 5G has the bigger battery of the two, 5150mAh against 3969mAh, but capacity doesn't compare cleanly across iOS and Android, so it isn't a battery-life verdict on its own, and the V3 5G has the bigger screen at 7.9" against 6.5", while the iPhone 11 Pro Max has the sharper one at 456 PPI. Get the V3 5G if those extras are worth it to you; otherwise the iPhone 11 Pro Max covers the basics for less.
If you'd rather pay up front, the iPhone 11 Pro Max is the cheaper buy at £159 SIM-free.
