Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max vs Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold

Our Verdict: The Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold came out in 2026, after the Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max 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 Pro Max's 12MP, and the Pixel 11 Pro Fold packs the bigger battery, 4806mAh against 4352mAh, though iOS and Android manage power differently, so more mAh doesn't always mean longer battery life. The iPhone 13 Pro Max has the stronger screen, bigger at 6.7" against 6.5" and sharper at 457 PPI, and the Pixel 11 Pro Fold uses an OLED panel, which gives it richer contrast than the iPhone 13 Pro Max's LCD. The Pixel 11 Pro Fold is the one to have if you want what it adds, but the iPhone 13 Pro Max is the smarter buy if you'd rather keep the money.

If you'd rather pay up front, the iPhone 13 Pro Max is the cheaper buy at £320 SIM-free.
