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		6.3-inch Super Retina XDR OLED; 2622 × 1206, 460 ppi; ProMotion adaptive refresh up to 120 Hz

ProMotion changes the refresh rate with the content: 120 Hz smoothness when scrolling and gaming, lower rates on still images to save power. Apple quotes 1000 nits typical, 1600 nits HDR peak, 2000 nits outdoor peak and 1 nit minimum; peaks are not sustained full-screen brightness.

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.

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).

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, second-generation sensor-shift OIS); 48 MP Ultra Wide (13 mm, ƒ/2.2); 12 MP 5× Telephoto (120 mm, ƒ/2.8, tetraprism); 2× Telephoto option (48 mm, using the Fusion sensor)

The Pro system covers a 10× optical zoom range from 0.5× to 5×, with digital zoom up to 25×. The 2× image is a 12 MP crop from the centre of the 48 MP main sensor, not a separate camera.

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 up to 120 fps; Log recording and ACES; ProRes up to 4K 120 fps with external recording

4K at 120 fps allows high-frame-rate 4K footage that can be slowed down. Log recording produces a flat image that leaves more room for colour grading. High-bit-rate ProRes needs an external drive.

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

The charger is sold separately. PPS is a USB Power Delivery profile that lets the charger adjust voltage in small steps.

Wireless chargingPixelsnap magnetic, Qi2 certified, up to 15 W

The Pro XL goes up to 25 W; the smaller Pro is limited to 15 W.
