iPhone 17 Pro measures 150 x 71.9 x 8.8 mm, while Pixel 10 Pro measures 152.8 x 72 x 8.5 mm. Pixel 10 Pro is slightly taller and thinner, but the two are close in width. The weights are almost identical: iPhone 17 Pro weighs 206 g and Pixel 10 Pro weighs 207 g. Pocket fit is therefore nearly the same.

The iPhone 17 Pro palette reads: Silver, Cosmic Orange, Deep Blue. Pixel 10 Pro offers these shades: Moonstone, Jade, Porcelain, Obsidian. Series news for iPhone 17 Pro continues in Apple iPhone 17 Air Features.

Water resistance and durability

On the front, iPhone 17 Pro's glass is named: Ceramic Shield 2. Pixel 10 Pro, meanwhile, names a different glass: Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2. Apple's Apple iPhone 17 Pro page is the maker's own source for iPhone 17 Pro.

Connectivity, SIM and ports

iPhone 17 Pro comes in regional versions, so check which one you buy. The international version reads: Nano-SIM, eSIM and eSIM (max 2 at a time). The China version instead lists: Nano-SIM and Nano-SIM. Pixel 10 Pro pairs a Nano-SIM slot with an eSIM.

iPhone 17 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro share the same Wi-Fi standard: Wi-Fi 7. Both also list Bluetooth 6.0 and support NFC. On USB-C, iPhone 17 Pro lists: USB Type-C 3.2 Gen 2, DisplayPort.

Both phones have stereo speakers but list no 3.5mm jack. News from the maker of iPhone 17 Pro appears in iPhone 17 Pro Max Launch. Reports on iPhone 17 Pro also run in Apple Fans.

Display compared: Pixel 10 Pro takes the screen contest against iPhone 17 Pro

Pixel 10 Pro wins the display contest, thanks to a sharper screen and higher rated brightness. Pixel 10 Pro has a 6.3 inches screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. iPhone 17 Pro also matches it on size, at 6.3 inches, and on speed, at 120Hz. Because size and speed are equal, the result rests on resolution and rated brightness.

Site news also covers the Pixel 10 Camera story, which suits buyers who weigh more than the screen.

Resolution, panel type and HDR support

Pixel 10 Pro has a resolution of 1280 x 2856 pixels, while iPhone 17 Pro has 1206 x 2622 pixels. Both screens share one size, so Pixel 10 Pro packs more pixels into the same area. That makes its display sharper on paper.

Both phones use LTPO panels, which means the screen can lower its refresh rate when the picture is still. iPhone 17 Pro uses an LTPO Super Retina XDR OLED screen with HDR10 and Dolby Vision, plus an anti-reflective coating. Pixel 10 Pro uses an LTPO OLED screen and supports HDR10+ instead.

Rated brightness for outdoor use

In rated high brightness mode, Pixel 10 Pro lists 2200 nits (HBM), while iPhone 17 Pro lists 1600 nits (HBM). Peak ratings follow suit, as Pixel 10 Pro claims 3300 nits (peak) and iPhone 17 Pro claims 3000 nits (peak). That gap on both ratings favours Pixel 10 Pro outdoors, because a brighter panel stays readable under strong daylight.

iPhone 17 Pro also gives a typical brightness rating of 1000 nits (typ) on its own sheet.

Gaming on iPhone 17 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro: GPU power, screen and stamina

The two phones use different GPU designs and post very different 3DMark results in the data. Both screens run at the same refresh rate, so graphics power and battery set them apart for mobile gamers. A buyer should weigh graphics headroom against stamina. The Google Pixel 10 Pro XL comes from the same series as Pixel 10 Pro, which matters to loyal Pixel gamers.

GPU and 3D benchmark results

iPhone 17 Pro posts a 3DMark score of 5,868 (Wild Life Extreme) on its Apple GPU (6-core graphics). Pixel 10 Pro posts 3,400 (Wild Life Extreme) with its PowerVR DXT-48-1536. Both scores share one test, so they compare directly. The higher iPhone 17 Pro score means more graphics headroom, although one test cannot cover every game.

Screen and battery for long sessions

Both screens share one refresh rate, so battery and brightness decide long sessions. Pixel 10 Pro has the larger battery, at 4870 mAh against 3998 mAh in iPhone 17 Pro. Pixel 10 Pro also carries a brighter rated peak, at 3300 nits (peak) against 3000 nits (peak) for iPhone 17 Pro.

However, iPhone 17 Pro leads on battery life, going by the active use score. Capacity and active use score measure different things. For long sessions, Pixel 10 Pro brings capacity and brightness, whereas iPhone 17 Pro brings the better active use score.

Performance: Apple A19 Pro pulls ahead of Google Tensor G5

Apple iPhone 17 Pro wins on chip, while Google Pixel 10 Pro wins on RAM. iPhone 17 Pro runs the Apple A19 Pro (3 nm), and Pixel 10 Pro runs the Google Tensor G5 (3 nm). The Apple chip's benchmark scores sit far above the Google chip's, so iPhone 17 Pro is the faster phone. Apple iPhone 17 Pro has its own page with its full specifications and prices.

Chipset specs and benchmark scores

iPhone 17 Pro's hexa-core CPU runs as 2 cores at 4.26 GHz and 4 cores at 2.60 GHz. On Pixel 10 Pro, the octa-core CPU splits into 1 core at 3.78 GHz, 5 cores at 3.05 GHz and 2 cores at 2.25 GHz. iPhone 17 Pro has fewer cores but reaches 4.26 GHz, whereas Pixel 10 Pro tops out at 3.78 GHz.

I analysed both chips: iPhone 17 Pro posts an AnTuTu score of 2,430,575 (v10), while Pixel 10 Pro posts 1,107,978 (v10). Geekbench also favours iPhone 17 Pro with 9,923 (v6), against 6,195 (v6) for Pixel 10 Pro. That gap favours iPhone 17 Pro on raw speed.

RAM and memory setup

Pixel 10 Pro wins on RAM, with 16GB RAM in every version its sheet lists. iPhone 17 Pro stays at 12GB RAM across all its storage tiers. More RAM keeps more apps loaded at once, and this means less reloading when you switch between them. That gap favours Pixel 10 Pro for heavy multitasking, while storage is the only choice on iPhone 17 Pro.

Software and update support

iPhone 17 Pro launched with iOS 26, and its sheet lists an upgrade to iOS 27.2 so far. Pixel 10 Pro launched with Android 16. The maker promises up to 7 major OS updates for Pixel 10 Pro. The two phones run different systems, so your choice of Android or iOS shapes how updates reach you. Pixel 10 Pro belongs to a wider series, and Google Pixel 10 is one sibling in it.

Gaming: which of the Apple iPhone 17 Pro and the Google Pixel 10 Pro keeps frame rates up

Different chipsets drive these two phones: the iPhone 17 Pro runs Apple A19 Pro (3 nm). On the Google Pixel 10 Pro sheet, the chipset is Google Tensor G5 (3 nm).

The graphics presets and target FPS are estimates from each phone's chipset class and refresh rate, not measured results; ✓ marks the higher target FPS.

Alongside that chip, iPhone 17 Pro carries 12GB RAM, with graphics listed as Apple GPU (6-core graphics). Both screens refresh equally: iPhone 17 Pro at 120Hz, and Pixel 10 Pro at the same rate. Google also makes the Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold, a related model for brand-loyal buyers.

Main, ultrawide and telephoto hardware

iPhone 17 Pro carries 48 MP wide, 48 MP periscope telephoto with 4x optical zoom and 48 MP ultrawide. Pixel 10 Pro uses 50 MP wide, 48 MP periscope telephoto with 5x optical zoom and 48 MP ultrawide. Still, Pixel 10 Pro's periscope lens reaches further. I checked the main sensors: Pixel 10 Pro has 50 MP, while iPhone 17 Pro has 48 MP.

Meanwhile, iPhone 17 Pro lists: Dual-LED dual-tone flash and HDR (photo/panorama).

Selfie camera: Pixel 10 Pro leads

Pixel 10 Pro wins the selfie category with a 42 MP ultrawide front camera. iPhone 17 Pro has an 18 MP ultrawide front camera, but video resolution is level. Selfie video tops out at 4K at 60fps on iPhone 17 Pro and 4K at 60fps on Pixel 10 Pro.

Both phones also offer 1080p at high frame rates: 1080p at up to 240fps on iPhone 17 Pro and 1080p at up to 240fps on Pixel 10 Pro. Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra hails from a maker beyond Apple and Google.

Battery and charging compared: capacity, endurance and charging speed

Apple iPhone 17 Pro wins battery life on the active use score. Google Pixel 10 Pro, however, wins battery capacity and charging. Check model numbers, because the Apple iPhone 18 Pro nearly shares a name with the iPhone 17 Pro.

Battery capacity and real-world endurance

On the Apple iPhone 17 Pro vs Google Pixel 10 Pro battery question, capacity and endurance point to different phones. Google Pixel 10 Pro carries 4870 mAh, while Apple iPhone 17 Pro has 3998 mAh. Even so, iPhone 17 Pro takes the battery life win on the active use score. Capacity alone does not decide endurance, so the score matters more here.

Wired, wireless and reverse charging

Pixel 10 Pro wins on charging, listing 30W wired and 15W wireless (magnetic) charging. Pixel 10 Pro also reaches 55% in 30 minutes, as a source claim.

The source claim for iPhone 17 Pro reads 50% in 20 minutes and 50% in 30 minutes (15W - China). Its sheet also lists these charging options: Wired, AVS and 25W wireless MagSafe/Qi2. On top of that, the sheet gives 4.5W reverse wired charging. Pixel 10 Pro lists these features: PPS, Qi2, Reverse wired and Bypass charging. Both sheets therefore include reverse wired charging, while the Pixel sheet also names bypass charging.
