Apple iPhone 11 Pro vs HONOR Magic V3 5G

Our Verdict: The HONOR Magic V3 5G has a far higher-resolution main camera, 50MP against the Apple iPhone 11 Pro's 12MP, plus a 20MP selfie camera against 12MP, and the V3 5G supports 5G while the iPhone 11 Pro tops out at 4G. There's more battery in the V3 5G, 5150mAh to 3046mAh, 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 5.8", while the iPhone 11 Pro has the sharper one at 463 PPI. The V3 5G is the one to have if you want what it adds, but the iPhone 11 Pro is the smarter buy if you'd rather keep the money.

Buying outright, the iPhone 11 Pro starts at £139 SIM-free.
