Apple iPhone 14 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7
Our Verdict: The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 has a far higher-resolution main camera, 200MP against the Apple iPhone 14 Pro's 48MP, and the Galaxy Z Fold 7 has the bigger battery of the two, 4400mAh against 3200mAh, but capacity doesn't compare cleanly across iOS and Android, so it isn't a battery-life verdict on its own. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 has the bigger screen at 8" against 6.1", while the iPhone 14 Pro 5G has the sharper one at 461 PPI, and the iPhone 14 Pro 5G is the lighter phone at 206g against 215g. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 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.
Over a full contract, the iPhone 14 Pro 5G works out around £534 all-in, about £810 less than the Galaxy Z Fold 7.
