Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max vs HONOR Magic V5 5G
Our Verdict: The HONOR Magic V5 5G has a massively higher-resolution main camera, 50MP against the Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max's 12MP, plus a 20MP selfie camera against 12MP, and there's more battery in the V5 5G, 5820mAh to 4352mAh, though iOS and Android manage power differently, so more mAh doesn't always mean longer battery life. The V5 5G has the bigger screen at 8" against 6.7", while the iPhone 13 Pro Max has the sharper one at 457 PPI, and the iPhone 13 Pro Max goes up to 1TB of storage, where the V5 5G tops out at 512GB. The V5 5G 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.
