Apple iPhone 14 vs Samsung Galaxy S24 FE
Our Verdict: The Samsung Galaxy S24 FE has a dramatically higher-resolution main camera, 50MP against the Apple iPhone 14's 12MP, and the S24 FE packs the bigger battery, 4700mAh against 3279mAh, but capacity doesn't compare cleanly across iOS and Android, so it isn't a battery-life verdict on its own. The S24 FE has the bigger screen at 6.7" against 6.1", while the iPhone 14 5G has the sharper one at 457 PPI, and storage goes higher on the iPhone 14 5G, up to 512GB against 256GB. Only pay up for the S24 FE if you'll use what it offers; if not, the iPhone 14 5G makes more sense.
The iPhone 14 5G is the cheaper one to own: around £471 over a typical contract, £227 less than the S24 FE.
