If you're looking for a larger screen and longer battery life, the Apple iPhone 14 Plus, despite being more expensive, might be the better choice. However, if you're on a budget and prefer a plastic back over glass, the Samsung Galaxy S21 will save you money. The S21 also offers a higher refresh rate for smoother scrolling, but the iPhone 14 Plus has slightly better overall camera quality and doesn't support high refresh rates. Operating systems are different—iOS on the iPhone and Android on the Galaxy—so consider which platform you prefer. Give Feedback
