Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max vs HONOR Magic V6 5G
Our Verdict: The HONOR Magic V6 5G leads on camera hardware with a 50MP main sensor to the Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max's 12MP, plus a 20MP selfie camera against 12MP, and the V6 5G packs the bigger battery, 5150mAh against 4352mAh, though iOS and Android manage power differently, so more mAh doesn't always mean longer battery life. The V6 5G has the bigger screen at 8" against 6.7", while the iPhone 13 Pro Max has the sharper one at 457 PPI, and storage goes higher on the iPhone 13 Pro Max, up to 1TB against 512GB. Get the V6 5G if those extras are worth it to you; otherwise the iPhone 13 Pro Max covers the basics for less.
If you'd rather pay up front, the iPhone 13 Pro Max is the cheaper buy at £295 SIM-free.
