It didn't take much for the iPhone 13 Pro to win our smartphone camera comparison. The Apple phone won two sub-categories (one of which was ex aequo with the Galaxy); it was furthest from the top in the selfie category, which ultimately tipped the scales in favour of the Galaxy S21.

As expected, the iPhone innovations formerly known as S-years are rather marginal in the year after a major design change. Nevertheless - any Android user who has been using 120 Hertz for years may forgive me - the higher refresh rate in the iPhone 13 Pro pretty much flashed me and the new cinema mode also has potential.
- Unbeaten performance
- Strong video quality
- Long battery life
- "Cinema mode" supports only two lenses
- Hardly any improvements in the only good photo quality
The Apple iPhone 13 Pro boasts top scores in the test. As is typical for Apple, it delivers a performance that is unparalleled in the Android world. The display is excellent and the features are still very good. We also like the excellent battery life of the iPhone 13 Pro in the test...
