Apple iPhone 11 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy S24+
Our Verdict: The S24+ has the better camera on paper, 50MP versus 12MP, and only the S24+ is a 5G phone; the Apple iPhone 11 Pro maxes out at 4G. The S24+ packs the bigger battery, 4900mAh 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 S24+ has the stronger screen, bigger at 6.7" against 5.8" and sharper at 509 PPI. Only pay up for the S24+ if you'll use what it offers; if not, the iPhone 11 Pro makes more sense.
If you'd rather pay up front, the iPhone 11 Pro is the cheaper buy at £130 SIM-free.
