Choosing a cell phone can quickly become a headache, there’s so much information on every phone out there and it’s hard to decipher it. If you’ve narrowed it down to either the iPhone 13 Pro or the iPhone X then this comparison should help.

The iPhone X landed on the cell phone market with a bang and lots of firsts. The most important being its edge-to-edge OLED screen. A stunning change made by Apple that saw the end of the home button, and much better images on your phone. The iPhone X has a 5.8-inch OLED screen, while the iPhone 13 Pro has a 6.1-inch OLED screen. Not a huge difference and size wise these two phones are very similar too, the iPhone X measures 143.6 x 70.0 mm and the iPhone 13 Pro measures 146.7 x 71.5. The weight difference is slightly greater though as the iPhone 13 Pro is 30 g heavier and this might affect your choice.

The iPhone 13 is 4 years newer than the iPhone X, so as you’d expect there are quite a few updates. For starters, it has an A15 bionic processor making it much faster than the iPhone X which runs on A11. It also has double the memory with 6 GB compared to 3 GB. Battery life is also much better with 36 hours compared to 22, the iPhone 13 Pro is more energy-efficient than the iPhone X. You also get a camera upgrade with 4, 12 MP rear lenses with 3 X optical zoom and a 12 MP selfie camera. The iPhone X has a dual 12 MP rear camera and a 7 MP selfie camera.

If you want or need all the extra memory, speed and cameras then opt for an iPhone 13 Pro, but if you don’t, and you want to save some cash, the iPhone X is still a great fast phone with good cameras. Both the iPhone 13 Pro and the iPhone X will cost you less if you buy a refurbished model, and it’s better for the environment too.
