Samsung Galaxy A13 vs Samsung Galaxy XCover 7 Pro

Our Verdict: Samsung Galaxy A13 and Samsung Galaxy XCover 7 Pro suit different priorities. The A13 is stronger for portability, helped by a larger 5,000 mAh battery and a lighter 195g body, while the 7 Pro is better suited to a higher-resolution 13MP front camera, 128GB storage, and its IP68 - Dust and water resistant over 1.5 meter and 30 minutes rating. A bigger mAh figure is useful context, but real battery life still depends on software and chipset efficiency. Choose the A13 for portability; choose the 7 Pro if camera hardware matters more.

If you'd rather pay up front, the A13 is the cheaper buy at £90 SIM-free.
