The iPhone 13 offers slightly better battery life and higher overall camera quality, with especially high marks in still photo quality. However, the Galaxy S21 FE has a larger screen, higher refresh rate for smoother scrolling, and additional RAM which can be beneficial for multitasking. The Galaxy S21 FE also has features like a microSD card slot for storage expansion, and reverse wireless charging which the iPhone 13 lacks. The iPhone is running iOS whereas the Galaxy is on Android, which could influence your choice based on the ecosystem you prefer. Choose the iPhone 13 if camera and battery life are your top priorities, and the Galaxy S21 FE if screen size, refresh rate, and extra features are more important to you. Give Feedback
