Apple iPhone 11 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus
Our Verdict: The Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus has the better camera on paper, 50MP versus 12MP, and only the S22+ 5G is a 5G phone; the Apple iPhone 11 Pro maxes out at 4G. The S22+ 5G has the bigger battery of the two, 4500mAh against 3046mAh, but capacity doesn't compare cleanly across iOS and Android, so it isn't a battery-life verdict on its own, and the S22+ 5G has the bigger screen at 6.6" against 5.8", while the iPhone 11 Pro has the sharper one at 463 PPI. The S22+ 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.
If you'd rather pay up front, the iPhone 11 Pro is the cheaper buy at £135 SIM-free.
