Apple iPhone 11 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5
Our Verdict: The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 has the better camera on paper, 50MP versus 12MP, and only the Galaxy Z Fold5 5G is a 5G phone; the Apple iPhone 11 Pro maxes out at 4G. There's more battery in the Galaxy Z Fold5 5G, 4400mAh 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 Galaxy Z Fold5 5G has the bigger screen at 7.6" against 5.8", while the iPhone 11 Pro has the sharper one at 463 PPI. Only pay up for the Galaxy Z Fold5 5G 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 £139 SIM-free.
