Apple iPhone 13 mini vs Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold
Our Verdict: The Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold came out in 2026, after the Apple iPhone 13 mini in 2021, so it's the more recent phone. The Pixel 11 Pro Fold leads on camera hardware with a 48MP main sensor to the iPhone 13 Mini's 12MP, and there's more battery in the Pixel 11 Pro Fold, 4806mAh 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 11 Pro Fold has the bigger screen at 6.5" against 5.4", while the iPhone 13 Mini has the sharper one at 477 PPI, and the Pixel 11 Pro Fold goes up to 1TB of storage, where the iPhone 13 Mini tops out at 512GB. Get the Pixel 11 Pro Fold 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 £554 over a typical contract, £774 less than the Pixel 11 Pro Fold.
