Apple iPhone 11 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy A35
Our Verdict: The Samsung Galaxy A35 has a dramatically higher-resolution main camera, 50MP against the Apple iPhone 11 Pro's 12MP, and the A35 supports 5G while the iPhone 11 Pro tops out at 4G. There's more battery in the A35, 5000mAh to 3046mAh, though iOS and Android manage power differently, so more mAh doesn't always mean longer battery life, and the A35 has the bigger screen at 6.6" against 5.8", while the iPhone 11 Pro has the sharper one at 463 PPI. Only pay up for the A35 if you'll use what it offers; if not, the iPhone 11 Pro makes more sense.
Buying outright, the iPhone 11 Pro starts at £130 SIM-free.
