Apple iPhone 13 Pro 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's 12MP, plus a 20MP selfie camera against 12MP, and the V6 5G packs the bigger battery, 5150mAh against 3095mAh, 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 6.1", while the iPhone 13 Pro has the sharper one at 457 PPI, and storage goes higher on the iPhone 13 Pro, up to 1TB against 512GB. The V6 5G is the one to have if you want what it adds, but the iPhone 13 Pro is the smarter buy if you'd rather keep the money.
If you'd rather pay up front, the iPhone 13 Pro is the cheaper buy at £249 SIM-free.
