Apple iPhone 13 Pro vs Google Pixel 11 Pro

Our Verdict: The Google Pixel 11 Pro came out in 2026, after the Apple iPhone 13 Pro in 2021, so it's the more recent phone. The Pixel 11 Pro has a dramatically higher-resolution main camera, 50MP against the iPhone 13 Pro's 12MP, and the Pixel 11 Pro packs the bigger battery, 4850mAh against 3095mAh, though iOS and Android manage power differently, so more mAh doesn't always mean longer battery life. The Pixel 11 Pro has the stronger screen, bigger at 6.3" against 6.1" and sharper at 497 PPI. Get the Pixel 11 Pro if those extras are worth it to you; otherwise the iPhone 13 Pro covers the basics for less.

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