Apple iPhone 11 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy S24
Our Verdict: The Samsung Galaxy S24 leads on camera hardware with a 50MP main sensor to the Apple iPhone 11 Pro's 12MP, and only the S24 is a 5G phone; the iPhone 11 Pro maxes out at 4G. There's more battery in the S24, 4000mAh 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 S24 has the bigger screen at 6.2" against 5.8", while the iPhone 11 Pro has the sharper one at 463 PPI. The S24 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 £130 SIM-free.
