Apple iPhone 13 mini vs Samsung Galaxy A26 Enterprise Edition
Our Verdict: The Samsung Galaxy A26 Enterprise Edition has the better camera on paper, 50MP versus 12MP, and the A26 Enterprise Edition packs the bigger battery, 5000mAh against 2406mAh, though iOS and Android manage power differently, so more mAh doesn't always mean longer battery life. The A26 Enterprise Edition has the bigger screen at 6.7" against 5.4", while the Apple iPhone 13 mini has the sharper one at 477 PPI, and the iPhone 13 Mini offers up to 512GB of storage versus 128GB on the A26 Enterprise Edition. The A26 Enterprise Edition is the one to have if you want what it adds, but the iPhone 13 Mini is the smarter buy if you'd rather keep the money.
If you'd rather pay up front, the iPhone 13 Mini is the cheaper buy at £195 SIM-free.
