Apple iPhone 13 Pro vs Google Pixel 11

Our Verdict: The Google Pixel 11 came out in 2026, after the Apple iPhone 13 Pro in 2021, so it's the more recent phone. The Pixel 11 has a dramatically higher-resolution main camera, 48MP against the iPhone 13 Pro's 12MP, and the Pixel 11 packs the bigger battery, 4985mAh against 3095mAh, though iOS and Android manage power differently, so more mAh doesn't always mean longer battery life. The Pixel 11 has the bigger screen at 6.3" against 6.1", while the iPhone 13 Pro has the sharper one at 457 PPI, and the iPhone 13 Pro offers up to 1TB of storage versus 512GB on the Pixel 11. Only pay up for the Pixel 11 if you'll use what it offers; if not, the iPhone 13 Pro makes more sense.

If you'd rather pay up front, the iPhone 13 Pro is the cheaper buy at £275 SIM-free.
