Apple iPhone 15 Plus vs Google Pixel 10 Pro
Our Verdict: The Google Pixel 10 Pro leads on camera hardware with a 50MP main sensor to the Apple iPhone 15 Plus's 48MP, plus a 42MP selfie camera against 12MP, and there's more battery in the Pixel 10 Pro, 4870mAh to 4383mAh, but capacity doesn't compare cleanly across iOS and Android, so it isn't a battery-life verdict on its own. The iPhone 15 Plus 5G has the bigger screen at 6.7" against 6.3", while the Pixel 10 Pro has the sharper one at 497 PPI, and the Pixel 10 Pro offers up to 1TB of storage versus 512GB on the iPhone 15 Plus 5G. Get the iPhone 15 Plus 5G if those extras are worth it to you; otherwise the Pixel 10 Pro covers the basics for less.
Over a full contract, the Pixel 10 Pro works out around £635 all-in, about £210 less than the iPhone 15 Plus 5G.
