Google Pixel 10 Pro / Apple iPhone 16

Google introduced the Pixel 10 series alongside its Tensor G5 blog post on this date.

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).

Typical brightness is 1000 nits, 1600 nits HDR and 2000 nits peak outdoors, with a 1-nit minimum. 2,000,000:1 contrast, P3 wide colour and True Tone. Apple does not list a refresh rate; ProMotion and always-on display are on the Pro models.

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

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).

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.

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

The 2× view comes from the centre of the 48 MP sensor rather than a separate lens. There is a 4× optical zoom range and up to 10× digital zoom; the ultra-wide camera can shoot macro.

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.

The Pro XL has a 5,200 mAh battery.

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

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

Satellite SOS availability varies by country.

Ultra Wideband availability varies by region. Emergency SOS and Roadside Assistance via satellite are supported, with service duration and country coverage set by Apple.

This value is from the US Google Store page; market versions with a physical SIM tray differ.

SIM layout may vary by country model.

The high-g accelerometer is used for Crash Detection.

Splash, water and dust resistance is not permanent and may decrease over time; liquid damage is not covered by warranty.

Google lists dimensions in inches and ounces.

Apple says the A18, built on second-generation 3 nm technology, is up to 30% faster in CPU and 40% in GPU than the A16 Bionic and supports hardware ray tracing. The A18 Pro in iPhone 16 Pro is a different chip.

Apple says it is 50% tougher than the first-generation Ceramic Shield. The back is colour-infused glass and the frame is aluminium.

Apple says Camera Control combines a tactile switch for clicks, a force sensor for light presses and a capacitive sensor for swipes. It opens the camera, takes photos and starts video recording.

Wired data transfer is limited to USB 2 speed, so moving large video files by cable is slower than on the Pro models.

Reaching 50% in 30 minutes over MagSafe needs a 30 W or higher adapter. There is no adapter in the box, only a USB-C cable.

Measured under Apple’s test conditions; real results vary with use and settings. Apple does not publish the capacity in mAh.
