Google		—
Display6.3-inch Super Actua LTPO OLED; 1280×2856, 495 ppi; 1–120 Hz

LTPO lets the refresh rate drop to 1 Hz on static content to save power. The 6.8-inch Pro XL has a different resolution (1344×2992).

Google		6.9-inch Super Retina XDR OLED; 2868 × 1320, 460 ppi; ProMotion up to 120 Hz; Always-On

ProMotion varies the refresh rate with content: 120 Hz for smooth scrolling, lower rates on static screens to save battery. Because of the rounded corners, the screen measures 6.86 inches as a rectangle.

Apple
BrightnessUp to 2,200 nits HDR; 3,300 nits peak; over 2,000,000:1 contrast

Peak brightness is reached briefly in sunlight and on small areas; it is not sustained full-screen brightness.

Google		1000 nits typical, 1600 nits peak HDR, 2000 nits peak outdoor, 1 nit minimum; 2,000,000:1 contrast

The outdoor peak is used briefly in strong sunlight; the 1-nit minimum is meant to reduce eye strain in a dark room.

Apple
Glass and bodyFront: Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2; matte back glass, polished aluminium frame Google—
ProcessorGoogle Tensor G5 (TSMC 3 nm); Titan M2 security chip

Google says the CPU is up to 34% faster on average than Tensor G4 and the TPU up to 60% more powerful (pre-production testing).

Google		A18 Pro; 6-core CPU (2 performance + 4 efficiency), 6-core GPU, 16-core Neural Engine Apple
Memory and storage16 GB RAM; 128 GB, 256 GB, 512 GB or 1 TB

The 512 GB and 1 TB versions use Zoned UFS. The 128 GB option exists only on the smaller Pro; the Pro XL starts at 256 GB.

Rear cameras50 MP wide f/1.68 (82°, 1/1.3"); 48 MP ultrawide f/1.7 (123°, macro focus); 48 MP 5× telephoto f/2.8 (22°)

Pro Res Zoom goes up to 100×; 5× is optical, beyond that the zoom is computational.

Google		48 MP Fusion (24 mm, ƒ/1.78, 2nd-gen sensor-shift OIS); 48 MP Ultra Wide (13 mm, ƒ/2.2, 120°); 12 MP 5x Telephoto (120 mm, ƒ/2.8, tetraprism)

The 12 MP 2x view (48 mm) is cropped from the main sensor rather than a separate lens. The total optical zoom range is 10x (5x in, 2x out); digital zoom goes up to 25x.

Apple
Front camera42 MP f/2.2, 103° ultrawide, autofocus Google12 MP TrueDepth, ƒ/1.9, autofocus; 4K Dolby Vision up to 120 fps Apple
Video4K at 24/30/60 fps; 8K at 24/30 fps (with Video Boost); front camera 4K at 30/60 fps

8K requires Video Boost, which processes the clip in Google’s cloud; it is not a direct on-device 8K mode. Google says 1080p and 4K30 record 10-bit video by default.

Google		4K Dolby Vision at 24/25/30/60/100/120 fps; ProRes and Log recording; 4K 120 fps slo-mo; four studio-quality mics

100 and 120 fps are available only on the Fusion main camera. Log recording leaves more dynamic range for colour grading.

Apple
Battery4,870 mAh typical (4,707 mAh minimum)

The Pro XL has a 5,200 mAh battery.

Google		—
Wired chargingUp to 55% in about 30 minutes with a 30 W+ USB-C PPS charger

Storage—256 GB, 512 GB or 1 TB

Storage cannot be expanded later; ProRes uses a lot of space, so 4K 120 fps ProRes recording requires external storage.

Apple
Buttons—Camera Control (exposure, depth, zoom, styles and tone); Action button

Camera Control is a surface that detects presses and swipes; it opens the camera and changes settings with a slide. The Action button can be assigned to silent mode, flashlight, shortcuts and more.

Apple
Satellite and safety—Emergency SOS, Roadside Assistance, Messages and Find My via satellite; Crash Detection

Satellite features work only in supported countries and where there is no cellular or Wi-Fi coverage.

Apple
USB-C—USB 3 (up to 10 Gbit/s); charging and DisplayPort output

A USB 3 cable is required for 10 Gbit/s; the charge cable in the box does not provide that speed.

Apple
Battery and charging—Video playback up to 33 hours; MagSafe up to 25 W (with a 30 W adapter), Qi2 15 W, Qi 7.5 W; about 50% in 30 minutes with a 20 W adapter

No power adapter is included. The 25 W MagSafe rate needs the newer MagSafe Charger and an adapter of at least 30 W.

Apple
Durability and materials—IP68 (up to 6 metres for 30 minutes); latest-generation Ceramic Shield front; textured matte glass back; titanium design

IP68 is tested in fresh water under lab conditions and can decrease over time; liquid damage is not covered by warranty.
