Apple iPhone 13 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7
Our Verdict: The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 leads on camera hardware with a 50MP main sensor to the Apple iPhone 13 Pro's 12MP, and the Galaxy Z Flip7 has the bigger battery of the two, 4300mAh against 3095mAh, but capacity doesn't compare cleanly across iOS and Android, so it isn't a battery-life verdict on its own. The Galaxy Z Flip7 has the bigger screen at 6.9" 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. Only pay up for the Galaxy Z Flip7 if you'll use what it offers; if not, the iPhone 13 Pro makes more sense.
Buying outright, the iPhone 13 Pro starts at £248 SIM-free.
