Apple iPhone 17 / Google Pixel 10

ProMotion adjusts the refresh rate to the content: 120 Hz smoothness when scrolling, lower rates on still images to save battery. The Always-On display shows the time and notifications dimmed while locked. Because of the rounded corners, the visible area is slightly smaller than the rectangle measurement.

3,000 nits is a short peak in strong sunlight, not sustained full-screen brightness. The 1-nit minimum aims to avoid eye strain in a dark room. The screen has anti-reflective and oleophobic coatings.

According to Apple, the colour-infused back glass is used on Black, Mist Blue, Sage and Lavender.

Apple notes that this resistance is not permanent, may decline with normal wear, and that liquid damage is not covered by the warranty.

The GPU supports hardware-accelerated ray tracing; the Neural Accelerators speed up AI work inside the GPU.

There is no memory card slot.

The 2× image comes from the centre of the 48 MP main sensor rather than a separate telephoto lens; the optical-quality zoom range is 4× in total, with digital zoom up to 10×. The ultra wide camera also takes 48 MP macro photos.

Dual Capture records with the front and rear cameras at the same time. Action mode strongly stabilises footage shot while walking or running.

Center Stage automatically adjusts the framing to the people in photos and video calls; the TrueDepth system for Face ID works with this camera.

25 W wireless charging needs a 30 W or higher adapter; no adapter is included. Battery life varies with Apple’s test conditions, network and settings.

Wired data transfer is limited to USB 2 speed, so moving large video files takes time. USB-C can output to an external display at up to 4K HDR.

Thread provides low-power mesh connectivity with smart-home devices. Ultra Wideband helps locate devices such as AirTag by direction and distance; availability varies by country.

Emergency SOS and Roadside Assistance via satellite are offered depending on country; Crash Detection is included.

The US Google Store page lists the GLBW0 model; band support and a physical SIM slot can vary by market.

Using two frequencies helps reduce position drift between tall buildings.

The Action button can be set to functions such as silent mode, torch, translate or a shortcut. Camera Control is a touch-sensitive button that adjusts exposure, depth and zoom by sliding.

The US Google page gives rounded inch and ounce figures.

No power adapter or EarPods are included.

Smooth Display raises the rate to 120 Hz for scrolling and games to make motion smoother; the lowest rate is 60 Hz.

The peak figure is a brightness reached briefly on a small part of the screen in strong sunlight.

There is no card slot.

Values beyond 5x are software zoom; optical quality is highest at 5x.

Google's battery figure assumes typical use; screen brightness and network conditions change the result.

The charger is sold separately.

Pixelsnap uses built-in magnets so Qi2 chargers and accessories snap into alignment.
