Apple iPhone 15 Pro vs Google Pixel 11 Pro
Our Verdict: The Google Pixel 11 Pro is the newer of the two, a 2026 release against the Apple iPhone 15 Pro's 2023. The Pixel 11 Pro has a marginally higher-resolution main camera, 50MP against the iPhone 15 Pro 5G's 48MP, and the Pixel 11 Pro has the bigger battery of the two, 4850mAh against 3274mAh, but capacity doesn't compare cleanly across iOS and Android, so it isn't a battery-life verdict on its own. The Pixel 11 Pro has the stronger screen, bigger at 6.3" against 6.1" and sharper at 497 PPI, and the iPhone 15 Pro 5G is the lighter phone at 187g against 207g. Get the Pixel 11 Pro if those extras are worth it to you; otherwise the iPhone 15 Pro 5G covers the basics for less.
Over a full contract, the iPhone 15 Pro 5G works out around £639 all-in, about £309 less than the Pixel 11 Pro.
