Apple iPhone 13 mini vs Google Pixel 10 Pro
Our Verdict: The Google Pixel 10 Pro leads on camera hardware with a 50MP main sensor to the Apple iPhone 13 mini's 12MP, plus a 42MP selfie camera against 12MP, and there's more battery in the Pixel 10 Pro, 4870mAh to 2406mAh, but capacity doesn't compare cleanly across iOS and Android, so it isn't a battery-life verdict on its own. The Pixel 10 Pro has the stronger screen, bigger at 6.3" against 5.4" and sharper at 497 PPI, and the Pixel 10 Pro goes up to 1TB of storage, where the iPhone 13 Mini tops out at 512GB. Get the Pixel 10 Pro if those extras are worth it to you; otherwise the iPhone 13 Mini covers the basics for less.
The iPhone 13 Mini is the cheaper one to own: around £544 over a typical contract, £93 less than the Pixel 10 Pro.
