Identical specs don’t help you choose, so “Differences only” hides them.
| Spec | iPhone 17 Pro Max | Pixel 10 | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weight | 233 g | 204 gLighter | Pixel 10 · 29 g lighter (14%) |
Why this matters. Weight affects one‑handed comfort and pocketability. A few grams rarely matter; 20 g or more is usually noticeable. | |||
| Thickness | 8.75 mm | 8.6 mm | iPhone 17 Pro Max · 0.15 mm thicker |
| Height | 163.4 mm | 152.8 mm | iPhone 17 Pro Max · 10.6 mm taller (7%) |
| Width | 78 mm | 72 mm | iPhone 17 Pro Max · 6 mm wider (8%) |
| Water & dust rating | IP68 | IP68 | Same |
Why this matters. IP68: the first digit (6) is dust‑tight, the second (8) is rated for continuous immersion under conditions set by the manufacturer. | |||

| Spec | iPhone 17 Pro Max | Pixel 10 | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Screen size | 6.9″ | 6.3″ | iPhone 17 Pro Max · 0.6″ larger |
| Panel | OLED | OLED | Same |
| Resolution | 1320 × 2868 | 1080 × 2424 | Different |
| Pixel density | 460 ppi | 422 ppi | iPhone 17 Pro Max · 38 ppi denser (9%) |
Why this matters. Above roughly 400 ppi at phone viewing distance, most people struggle to see individual pixels. | |||
| Refresh rate | 120 Hz | 120 Hz | Same |
Why this matters. Higher refresh rates can make scrolling and motion look smoother, particularly in games and fast‑moving interfaces. Most phones vary the rate to save power. | |||
| Brightness (typical) | 1,000 nits | 2,000 nits | Pixel 10 · 1,000 nits brighter (100%) |
Why this matters. Manufacturers measure brightness differently (typical, HDR peak, outdoor boost). Compare like‑for‑like figures only. | |||

| Spec | iPhone 17 Pro Max | Pixel 10 | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chipset | Apple A19 Pro | Google Tensor G5 | Different |
| RAM | 12 GB | 12 GB | Same |
Why this matters. More RAM lets more apps stay open in the background. Beyond 8–12 GB the everyday difference is small. | |||
| Storage (max listed) | 2,048 GBMore | 256 GB | iPhone 17 Pro Max · 1,792 GB more (700%) |
Why this matters. DuelVS lists one storage figure per model, usually the largest configuration. Check the variant you would actually buy. | |||
| Geekbench 6 single‑core | 3,933 | 2,267 | iPhone 17 Pro Max · 1,666 higher (73%) |
Data note. Benchmark figures come from mixed sources and test versions. Treat small gaps as noise. | |||
| Geekbench 6 multi‑core | 10,223 | 5,712 | iPhone 17 Pro Max · 4,511 higher (79%) |
Data note. Benchmark figures come from mixed sources and test versions. Treat small gaps as noise. | |||

| Spec | iPhone 17 Pro Max | Pixel 10 | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rear cameras | 48 + 48 + 48 MP | 48 + 10.8 + 13 MP | Different |
Why this matters. Megapixels describe resolution, not image quality. Sensor size, lens and processing usually matter more. | |||
| Front camera | 18 MP | 10.5 MP | iPhone 17 Pro Max · 7.5 MP higher‑res (71%) |
| Max video | 4K · 120 fps | 4K · 60 fps | Different |
| Spec | iPhone 17 Pro Max | Pixel 10 | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Battery capacity | 5,088 mAhMore | 4,970 mAh | iPhone 17 Pro Max · 118 mAh more |
Why this matters. Capacity is the size of the tank, not the mileage. Chip efficiency and screen settings decide real battery life. | |||
| Wired charging (rated) | 40 WHigher | 30 W | iPhone 17 Pro Max · 10 W higher (33%) |
| Wireless charging (rated) | 30 WHigher | 15 W | iPhone 17 Pro Max · 15 W higher (100%) |
| Reverse wireless charging | No | Yes | Only Pixel 10 |
| Spec | iPhone 17 Pro Max | Pixel 10 | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wi‑Fi (newest supported) | Wi‑Fi 7 | Wi‑Fi 6E | Newer standard: iPhone 17 Pro Max |
Why this matters. Wi‑Fi 7 can be faster and steadier on a Wi‑Fi 7 router. On older routers the difference disappears. | |||
| Bluetooth | 6.0 | 6.0 | Same |
| USB‑C data | USB 3.2 | USB 3.2 | Same |
Why this matters. USB 2 transfers files much more slowly than USB 3.x over a cable. Charging is unaffected. | |||
| SIM | 1 SIM + 1 eSIM | 1 SIM + 1 eSIM | Same |
| LDAC audio codec | No | Yes | Only Pixel 10 |
| 3.5 mm headphone jack | No | No | Same |

How this comparison works
Every product in a category uses the same fields and units. Rows highlight a difference. A direction label such as “Lighter” or “More” appears only on fields where DuelVS’s methodology defines which way is generally preferable. Nothing here declares an overall winner.
