Apple iPhone 13 vs Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold

Our Verdict: The Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold has the clearer edge for a sharper display at about 497ppi; the Apple iPhone 13 is stronger if a lower current starting price, about £200 versus £935 matters more. Apple iPhone 13 is currently cheaper to buy outright by roughly £735. Camera resolution favours Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold at 50MP, though megapixels alone do not decide image quality. In short, the Apple iPhone 13 suits buyers trying to keep the upfront or SIM-free spend lower, while the Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold suits buyers who will use its extra hardware advantages.

Over a full contract, the iPhone 13 works out around £433 all-in, about £768 less than the Pixel 10 Pro Fold.
