Best alternatives to Apple iPhone 15 Pro in 2024
1) Apple iPhone 15
Trending
If you need a cheaper iPhone and want the best features of iOS, the iPhone 15 could be your best bet. It is the same size as the iPhone 15 Pro, has a similar high-resolution main camera sensor, and also offers wired as well as wireless charging. In terms of processing power, its A16 Bionic is close to the A17 Bionic Pro on the 15 Pro and can last for many years without slowing down.
The only major advantages that the iPhone 15 Pro has are in the camera and display departments. The non-Pro variant also lacks ProMotion (120Hz refresh rate) support. But for most people, this is not something they would notice unless they use both phones side-by-side. The iPhone 15 is also $200 cheaper than the iPhone 15 Pro, which is great for budget-conscious users.

- Has a capable camera setup.
- Now comes with a universal Type-C port.
Cons
- No fast refresh rate support.

2) Google Pixel 8 Pro
The Pixel 8 Pro is another great alternative to most modern iPhones, as it offers a clean operating system, along with up to seven years of software updates. With this Google phone, you are also assured to get multiple brand-exclusive AI features. The Pixel 8 Pro also has three high-resolution main camera sensors, which can be used in multiple scenarios.

Moreover, the durability issues of the Samsung Galaxy Z series smartphones are a thing of the past now; this is a sturdy device with minimal design flaws.
Its main camera sensor can also be used to click highly detailed selfie shots, which is rare to find in any single-screen smartphone. The device costs $100 more than the iPhone 15 Pro but has lots of perks to offer as well.

The phone also has probably the best camera setup amongst all Samsung smartphones. The device is also capable of clicking super-zoomed 100X images with adequate details. These features make it one of the most feature-packed non-Apple smartphones you can buy right now.
