Apple iPhone 17 Pro vs Google Pixel 10 Pro: Main differences to expect
In just two months' time, we will see what Apple and Google have been preparing in secret over the past few months. In mid-to-late August, we expect Google to introduce the Pixel 10 series, with the Pixel 10 Pro being the sensible and compact, but still well-equipped flagship offering. Just a few weeks later, the iPhone 17 generation is coming, with the iPhone 17 Pro destined to be the compact top flagship. How would these two compare? As usual, these premium phones will be rivals in the flagship space, but they wouldn't divert too much from the course set by their predecessors. That's to say that we don't really expect any truly major changes with either device. That's okay, though, as we don't feel either Apple or Google have to resort to such revolutionary changes anyway. iPhone 17 Pro vs Pixel 10 Pro expected differences: Table of Contents: Design Display Performance Camera Battery Specs Summary Neither Apple nor Google are looking to move away from the now standard flat design language. With completely flat panels and sides, the two devices will use the same design language as their predecessors. No problem with that, honestly, as the two look super premium and lovely. The iPhone 17 Pro will likely continue utilizing a titanium frame; some rumors called for a return to aluminum, but we are not convinced Apple will downgrade the iPhone in such a way. Aluminum, however, will remain the metal of choice on the Pixel 10 Pro , it seems. This new design language applies to all models except for the regular iPhone (Image Credit-Weibo) One major style change that's coming to the iPhone 17 Pro is one that will surely rustle some feathers. The Pro models are getting a redesigned rear camera bar, which evokes strong resemblance to the Pixel's signature rear camera strip. However, the iPhone's take on this design style is set to be way more imposing, occupying nearly a third of the phone's rear. Meanwhile, the Pixel 10 Pro isn't making any sudden moves in the design section, so we anticipate the phone will look just like the Pixel 9 Pro. We see no problem with that, it's the best the Pixel has looked in years. We expect the two devices to be mostly similar in terms of thickness, in the ballpark of 8.3-8.5 mm, with the iPhone technically shaping up to be thinner, but the difference will hardly be noticeable in real life. When it comes to the rest of the dimensions, the iPhone will still technically remain the more compact phone, poised to be shorter, narrower, and lighter. iPhone 17 Pro/Pro Max render (Image Credit-@asherdipps We will be getting a customizable Action Button on the iPhone 17 Pro, as well as the novel Capture Button, which lets you control the camera and engage Visual Intelligence. No such buttons are expected on the Android champ, which will retain the standard volume/power button combo. Color-wise, we expect the iPhone 17 Pro to be available in Black Titanium, White Titanium, Natural Titanium, and an extra color. The Pixel 10 Pro , on the other hand, could be available in Midnight, Iris, and two other extra colors. Display Differences No major differences are expected to come to either phone's screen. Both are very likely to keep their 6.3-inch screens, which strike a decent compromise between overall size and, so no size increase on either device. The iPhone's likely to retain the slimmer bezels, which will make for a more premium look. This means we are getting a 6.3-inch Liquid Retina XDR screen on the iPhone 17 Pro, with 120Hz ProMotion and possibly a peak brightness increase to 3,000 nits, up from 2,000 nits. As typical for Apple, the display will most certainly utilize a Samsung panel and exhibit excellent color accuracy properties. The same applies to the Pixel 10 Pro as well. The 6.3-inch Super Actua OLED screen will also get a 120Hz refresh rate, slightly thicker bezels, and the same super-high peak brightness of around 3,000 nits. There's the possibility of Apple using a slightly smaller Dynamic Island notch thanks to using smaller Face ID and camera elements, which would boost the screen real estate. In terms of biometrics, the Pixel 10 Pro will likely come with an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, while Apple is set to continue using the signature Face ID biometrics. The iPhone 17 Pro Max will use the 3nm Apple A19 Pro chipset. It will be the third generation of Apple's 3nm chips, so we expect exceptional performance and efficiency. As is befitting for Apple. A major shift is likely coming to the Pixel 10 Pro , though. Google is expected to finally come with a truly custom Tensor G5 chipset, one built by TSMC on its own 3nm manufacturing process. Until now, Google had to rely on Samsung and use the same Exynos architecture as Samsung, but the Tensor G5 could finally put an end to that and unlock the true potential of Google's chips. We expect the iPhone 17 Pro is coming wiht 12GB of RAM, an increase over the previous 8GB of RAM, likely to accommodate the upcoming needs for AI. For the same reasons, the Pixel 10 Pro is likely coming with either 12 or 16GB of RAM. The iPhone 17 Pro Max will likely feature three storage versions: 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB, while the Pixel 10 Pro is likely featuring 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB versions. The Pixel 10 Pro will arrive with Android 16 and will be supported for seven years. This software update will score a major Material 3 Expressive redesign in early September, likely coinciding with the Pixel 10 launch, and will freshen up the aesthetics of the OS. Meanwhile, the iPhone 17 Pro will ship with iOS 26 , a software update that should have been called iOS 19, but for consistency's sake, Apple renamed all of its operating systems. This one also comes with a redesign, dubbed Liquid Glass, and it's consistent across all platforms. The iOS 26 update will also introduce many other changes––read more about them here. With the iPhone 17 Pro, Apple is likely upgrading the periscope camera. Just like the wide and ultrawide cameras, Apple is putting a high-res 48MP sensor behind the periscope camera. This means we get triple 48MP cameras here. However, rumors also claim that Apple is reducing the optical zoom reach from 5X down to 3.5X. While this may sound like a downgrade, we shouldn't forget that Apple could resort to in-sensor cropping to achieve longer zoom levels. This is what most other manufacturers do when using high-res telephoto cameras, so while the native zoom isn't that long, the quality when zooming is significantly improved. The Pixel 10 Pro is likely inheriting the same camera setup as the Pixel 9 Pro : a 50MP main camera, a 48MP ultrawide, a 48MP periscope with 5X zoom, and a high-res 42MP front-facing camera. One new feature reportedly coming to the Pixel is an improved macro mode, which will be using the telephoto camera. Apple is also reportedly improving the resolution of the FaceTime camera from 12MP to 24MP. That's still less impressive than the 42MP selfie camera that's coming to the Pixel 10 Pro , though. We expect that, once again, neither Apple nor Google will make big improvements in terms of the battery here. We're likely getting batteries in the same ballpark as the two phones' predecessors: a roughly 3,600mAh battery for the iPhone 17 Pro and a larger 4,700mAh one for the Pixel 10 Pro . When it comes to charging, expect no changes from Apple. The iPhone is getting 27W wired charging (that could jump to 40W in certain scenarios) and 25W MagSafe 2.0. The same will possibly apply to the Pixel 10 Pro as well: 37W wired and 23W wireless charging. Although the Pixel won't have MagSafe magnets embedded, Google is reportedly planning a line of cases with magnets that will be compatible with MagSafe accessories. The iPhone 17 Pro and the Pixel 10 Pro will reiterate the successful moves of all their predecessors, which will inevitably make them some of the hottest phones on the market this fall. This is why neither could be keen on changing up the formula too much, and that's fine. This year, it appears that the iPhone and the Pixel will be closer than ever in terms of specs and features, so the battle will be more and more fierce.

Google Pixel 10 series may feature dual speakers and SIM tray shift, leak hints
Google's next-generation flagship smartphone lineup, expected to include the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and the foldable Pixel 10 Pro Fold, has been the subject of numerous leaks in recent weeks. Now, a newly surfaced report offers fresh insights into the design of the Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro—this time via an alleged protective case leak. According to Android Authority, the protective case comes from Thinborne, a well-known accessory maker. The company has reportedly developed cases for the Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro ahead of their official unveiling. The leaked case design suggests that while the upcoming phones may appear similar to last year's Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro, there are subtle shifts in dimensions and hardware placements that indicate noteworthy updates. The report claims that the Pixel 9 Pro can fit snugly into the case made for the Pixel 10, hinting at comparable sizing between the generations. However, the alignment of key elements such as port cutouts and the camera bar tells a different story. Visuals of the leaked case suggest that the USB-C port and other bottom-edge components have been repositioned. Unlike the single-speaker cutout seen in previous models, the Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro are expected to feature dual-speaker cutouts on the underside of the device. Additionally, the SIM tray, traditionally located on the side or bottom, appears to have been moved to the top edge in the new design. There are further indications that the rear camera system has been slightly revamped. The case does not align perfectly with the camera bar of the Pixel 9 Pro, leading to speculation that the Pixel 10's camera module will be marginally larger. The case also partially obscures the 5G antenna on the older model, reinforcing the theory that external hardware elements have shifted enough to warrant a redesign. These changes, though subtle, could mean existing Pixel 9 cases will not be compatible with the Pixel 10, despite the superficial resemblance between the two generations.

It should be presented to the general public in August and here is what makes it you're in a search of a capable phone and want to step out of your Galaxy and iPhone comfort zone, themight just be the one for chipset (a.k.a. an application processor) is what drives it all in a phone – it's its brain, sort of. Recent Pixel phones have utilized chipsets made by Samsung Foundry – the Tensor G1 through G4, to be precise. This tradition will be paused with the new Tensor G5 that's to power theand the rest of the models in the family. This piece of silicon will be designed by Google itself from scratch and will be built by TSMC (the company that makes chips for the iPhone).Google is replacing several key components, including the GPU, modem, and image signal processor, aiming for better efficiency, camera performance, and stability. While overall performance gains may be modest, this transition gives Google greater control over its chip design – though it could introduce early bugs, as this is effectively a first-gen effort under a new supply Pixel 10 is expected to introduce a new macro photography system that uses both the telephoto and ultrawide sensors, switching between them based on how close the user is to the subject. This tele-macro approach, previously seen in devices like the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Oppo Find N5, allows users to capture detailed close-ups from a greater distance—useful for subjects like insects. The ultrawide sensor will still be used for very close shots, while the telephoto lens will offer a longer reach and natural background is expected to improve the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor on the upcomingand its siblings, making it faster and more responsive, especially when users have wet or dirty fingers. While face unlock has met high security standards since the Pixel 8 , Google continues to offer both biometric options for added flexibility and user convenience. This dual-system approach ensures users can rely on secure access in a variety of phone should arrive with active support for the Qi2 wireless charging standard . For it to fully work, though,owners should buy a separate, compatible magnetic case to utilize Qi2. As you've probably heard, Qi2 is the latest wireless charging standard that uses magnetic alignment for more efficient and faster charging. It improves power delivery and reduces heat compared to older Qi versions. Samsung and OnePlus models from 2025 also come with similar Qi2 support, like the one expected on theThewill be AI-focused, just like the rest of the 2025 flagships out there. The previously known as "Pixel Sense" AI assistant is now dubbed as "Magic Cue". This feature is designed to work alongside Gemini (and not replace it), offering passive, context-aware assistance without requiring prompts. It monitors screen activity and app usage to suggest relevant information or actions, like pulling a flight number from Gmail when someone asks for it in a chat. The tool draws on data from Google apps such as Calendar, Keep, and Messages, but processes this information in a secure, isolated expected to arrive with a 4,700mAh capacity battery on board – matching its predecessor, the Pixel 9 Pro . However, the new Tensor G5 chipset should be optimized in a way that allows for longer usage despite the same mAh numbers. Theis shaping out to be way behind some contenders (that offer 7,000mAh – or more), but the phone should allow a whole-day expected that thewill finally bring an upgrade to its PWM dimming rate , a change that could benefit users sensitive to screen flicker. PWM controls display brightness by quickly turning pixels on and off, and low rates can cause discomfort for some. While current Pixels use a 240Hz rate, Google is reportedly working on improvements, though it remains to be seen how it will compare to higher-end devices like the Honor Magic 6 Pro

Here's a leaked Pixel 10 Pro case on a Pixel 9 Pro
TL;DR We have obtained a case for the unreleased Google Pixel 10 Pro. To test it out, we put a Pixel 9 Pro into the case. The Pixel 9 Pro fits, but there are a lot of changes that make it not ideal to swap cases between the two devices. We expect Google to announce the new Pixel 10 series in the coming weeks. As usual, we've already seen plenty of leaks surrounding the phones, including a nearly-retail-ready device and a likely retail-ready version in a behind-the-scenes clip from a commercial shoot. From these, we know that the Google Pixel 10 series will look remarkably similar to the Pixel 9 series. Just how similar will they be, though? To help answer that question, we got help from a smartphone case company called Thinborne. The owner sent us a case that is designed to fit the Google Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro. Obviously, considering Google hasn't announced the phones yet, this is a break in standard protocol. Regardless, the first thing I did when I got the case was put my Pixel 9 Pro into it. Interestingly, the phone fit the case just fine. It was a little tricky to get it all the way on, but it didn't warp or crack when I did so. In other words, the Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro will have roughly the same dimensions as the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro. Pixel 9 case (left) and Pixel 10 case (right) Pixel 9 case (left) and Pixel 10 case (right) Pixel 10 Pro case 5G antenna doesn't fit Bottom ports don't fit Camera bar gap Pixel 9 case (top) and Pixel 10 case (bottom) Pixel 9 case (top) and Pixel 10 case (bottom) However, there were a lot of things about the case that didn't fit well. The first and most obvious was the cutout for the camera bar. There's a sizable gap left behind with this Pixel 10 Pro case on a Pixel 9 Pro, which proves that the camera bar on the Pixel 10 phones will be larger than what we see on the Pixel 9 series. It's not a lot larger, but it's large enough that all sorts of dust and debris would get into the gap if you were to use a Pixel 10 case on a Pixel 9 phone. Also, if I had a Pixel 10 Pro, I am certain it would not fit into a Pixel 9 Pro case because of this size discrepancy. Elsewhere, the Pixel 10 case partially covers up the 5G antenna on the Pixel 9 Pro. This probably wouldn't be enough to dramatically affect reception, but it certainly wouldn't help. Most notably, though, is that the bottom of the case is completely reconfigured when compared to a Thinborne Pixel 9 case. This is because the Pixel 10 is going to have two speaker cutouts at the bottom instead of just one. The SIM tray is also going to be moved to the top of the Pixel 10. All in all, there are just too many compromises here. If you currently own a Pixel 9 series device and are hoping to keep your current case when you upgrade to the Pixel 10 later this year, that isn't going to work. Despite the phones being very similar, the cases are different enough that you'll want to buy one specific to the applicable model. If you want to buy a Thinborne case for either a Pixel 9 or Pixel 10, you can do so at Thinborne's site.

Google may be looking to give Pixel 10 series a tele-macro camera makeover, launch pegged for August
Over the years, we've seen dedicated macro sensors on phones. We've seen ultra-wide sensors doubling up as macro lenses, and more recently, the tele-macro lens is starting to trend again. We've already seen this on several phones this year, including the flagship OnePlus 13 and the mid-range Vivo T4 Ultra. Now, according to a report by Android Headlines, Google seems to be following suit — the telephoto camera on the Pixel 10 series is said to come with macro makes this particularly interesting in the case of the Pixel 10 series is that, unlike most other brands that offer macro photography via either the ultra-wide or the telephoto lens, Google is reportedly enabling macro shooting through both lenses. This means macro photography — which has been available on previous Pixel phones via the ultra-wide lens — will continue, while also being extended to the telephoto lens. Depending on how close you are to your subject, the phone will automatically decide whether to use the ultra-wide or the telephoto camera for a macro Pixel 10 series is expected to be announced on 28 August. However, it is being reported that, following the announcement, all the phones in the series — including the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL and Pixel 10 Pro Fold — will have different launch Pixel 10 series: What to expectadvertisement One of the biggest changes this year is expected under the hood. The Pixel 10 series is likely to be powered by Google's new Tensor G5 chip, reportedly manufactured by TSMC. This shift in manufacturing could lead to improved thermal performance and battery life — something that previous Tensor-powered Pixels have struggled with. With this new chip, Google could finally catch up to other flagship Snapdragon and MediaTek processors in terms of efficiency and day-to-day the software front, the Pixel 10 is expected to ship with Android 16 out of the box. AI will play a major role again, with new features such as Video Generative ML for advanced video editing, Speak-to-Tweak for voice-guided image edits, and Sketch-to-Image that turns rough drawings into detailed visuals — all running on-device. These features could make the Pixel 10 series stand out in terms of creative tools and user-friendly for the cameras, the base Pixel 10 may finally get a triple-lens setup, including a telephoto lens — a first for a non-Pro Pixel phone. However, reports suggest that while this is a welcome upgrade, the actual camera sensors may not be as powerful as those on the Pro models. For example, the main sensor is said to be a Samsung GN8, which is smaller than the GNV used before. Supporting cameras might also be carried over from the Pixel 9a. Still, Google's AI-based image processing could help make up for some of those hardware don't expect major changes. The Pixel 10 is likely to stick with the same flat sides, camera bar at the back, and slim bezels up front, similar to the Pixel 9 series. The phones might be slightly thinner this year, but overall, the look should feel familiar. Pricing could also stay close to last year, with the Pixel 10 and 10 Pro expected to launch at Rs 79,999 and Rs 99,999, respectively. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold, interestingly, may arrive at a lower price point compared to last year's model.
