Apple iPhone 13 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy S24
Our Verdict: The Samsung Galaxy S24 leads on camera hardware with a 50MP main sensor to the Apple iPhone 13 Pro's 12MP, and the S24 has the bigger battery of the two, 4000mAh against 3095mAh, though iOS and Android manage power differently, so more mAh doesn't always mean longer battery life. The iPhone 13 Pro offers up to 1TB of storage versus 256GB on the S24, and the iPhone 13 Pro has the sharper display at 457 PPI to 416. Get the S24 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 £239 SIM-free.
