Apple iPhone 11 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy S22
Our Verdict: The Samsung Galaxy S22 has a massively higher-resolution main camera, 50MP against the Apple iPhone 11 Pro's 12MP, and the S22 5G supports 5G while the iPhone 11 Pro tops out at 4G. The S22 5G packs the bigger battery, 3700mAh against 3046mAh, though iOS and Android manage power differently, so more mAh doesn't always mean longer battery life, and the S22 5G has the bigger screen at 6.1" against 5.8", while the iPhone 11 Pro has the sharper one at 463 PPI. Get the S22 5G if those extras are worth it to you; otherwise the iPhone 11 Pro covers the basics for less.
If you'd rather pay up front, the iPhone 11 Pro is the cheaper buy at £135 SIM-free.
