Apple iPhone 15 Plus vs Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold
Our Verdict: The Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold came out in 2026, after the Apple iPhone 15 Plus in 2023, so it's the more recent phone. The Pixel 11 Pro Fold has the bigger battery of the two, 4806mAh against 4383mAh, though iOS and Android manage power differently, so more mAh doesn't always mean longer battery life, and the iPhone 15 Plus 5G has the stronger screen, bigger at 6.7" against 6.5" and sharper at 460 PPI. The Pixel 11 Pro Fold offers up to 1TB of storage versus 512GB on the iPhone 15 Plus 5G, and the iPhone 15 Plus 5G is the lighter phone at 201g against 239g. The iPhone 15 Plus 5G doesn't just win on price; it holds its own on specs too, which makes it the easy pick unless something specific draws you to the Pixel 11 Pro Fold.
The iPhone 15 Plus 5G is the cheaper one to own: around £750 over a typical contract, £578 less than the Pixel 11 Pro Fold.
