The Samsung Galaxy S24+ has a larger and brighter screen with a higher refresh rate, making it better for high-quality video content and smoother scrolling. It also has a bigger battery, offering longer usage between charges, and boasts a higher camera resolution for potentially more detailed photos. However, the iPhone 13 is less expensive and still delivers very good camera quality and display, although with a smaller screen and battery. The Galaxy S24+ has the advantage of expandable storage and the versatility of an Android operating system, while the iPhone 13 runs on iOS, which may be preferable if you're already integrated into the Apple ecosystem. Choosing between them depends on whether you prioritize a high-spec experience and are okay with spending more, or if you prefer an optimal cost-to-performance ratio with the iPhone. Give Feedback

TechRadar

James Peckham | September 2022
"The iPhone 13 isn’t a game changer for Apple’s series of smartphones, but it’s an important iteration that offers better battery life, a better processor and an upgraded camera setup than iPhones that have gone before it. If you’re looking for a fast and capable smartphone, and don’t need the extra features of the pricier Pro model, this is a top choice."
