Apple iPhone 14 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy S24+
Our Verdict: The S24+ has the better camera on paper, 50MP versus 48MP, and the S24+ has the bigger battery of the two, 4900mAh against 3200mAh, but capacity doesn't compare cleanly across iOS and Android, so it isn't a battery-life verdict on its own. The S24+ has the stronger screen, bigger at 6.7" against 6.1" and sharper at 509 PPI, and the Apple iPhone 14 Pro goes up to 1TB of storage, where the S24+ tops out at 512GB. The S24+ is the one to have if you want what it adds, but the iPhone 14 Pro 5G is the smarter buy if you'd rather keep the money.
The iPhone 14 Pro 5G is the cheaper one to own: around £534 over a typical contract, £364 less than the S24+.
