Apple iPhone 13 Pro 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's 12MP, plus a 20MP selfie camera against 12MP, and the V5 5G has the bigger battery of the two, 5820mAh against 3095mAh, 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 6.1", 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 V5 5G. Only pay up for the V5 5G if you'll use what it offers; if not, the iPhone 13 Pro makes more sense.
Buying outright, the iPhone 13 Pro starts at £260 SIM-free.
