There's a fierce battle of the compact flagships with"Pro" in their names coming our way. Who will win it? The upcoming Pixel 10 Pro or the reigning champion - the iPhone 16 Pro?, tried and tested with everything a Pro iPhone brings but in a compact package.
Which one of these will be able to win people's hearts and hard-earned money? Time to find out!Same screen size, better resolution, pixel densityseries, abandoning the curved sides and the Camera Bar for a more flat-like approach. Now, some might say that this move was inspired by the iPhones and Galaxies of late, and this may very well be true.follows the same design language, it's expected to be almost identical to its predecessor. Which means that the next Pixel will again be very close to thein terms of size, weight, and overall looks, barring the camera housing. The Pixel is also expected to be a tad taller and thicker, but not by much.relies on Grade 5 titanium. The tempered glass that protects the front and back of both phones is also different. Apple uses Ceramic Shield, while theGoogle is sticking to the traditional colors, such as Porcelain and Obsidian, as well as the trendy Rose and Quartz. Even though it is early days, there are reports that theis expected to retain more or less the same display panel as its predecessor. It's a 6.3-inch OLED with a resolution of 1280 x 2856 pixels, which translates to around 495 PPI pixel density. is no slouch either when it comes to screen quality. The phone sports a 6.3-inch OLED with the ProMotion treatment and advertised brightness of 2000 nits. In our display test, thewas able to output a tad over 1000 nits at 100% APL, so Google might have an advantage here.is expected to get the next-generation Tensor G5 processor. This year Google will rely on TSMC for the manufacturing and also on a completely new architecture, rather than using the old Exynos-based one. This might bring some performance and efficiency gains, but we have to do the usual test in our lab to see what's what. All that being said, the Apple A18 Pro chipset remains one of the fastest in the industry, and we don't see how the new Tensor is going to change that. Themanaged 3330 and 8044 points in the Geekbench singe- and multicore tests respectively, so this round will probably go to the iPhone, at least in raw performance.Android flagships have an intrinsic advantage when it comes to the total amount of RAM, but the way iOS handles apps and tasks negates this"on paper" advantage. The same goes for the. The former is expected with 16GB of RAM, while the iPhone has half of that at 8GB. This won't translate into any real-life advantage, especially given how far behindIn this modern day and age, hardware upgrades to the smartphone camera systems are quite rare and spread across several generations. Most of the gains come from software updates and post-processing algorithm tweaks. , it's expected to carry over the same camera system from its predecessor. We're talking about a triple camera setup with one 50MP main camera, one 48MP ultrawide, and a 48MP periscope telephoto with 5x optical zoom. , the phone scored 154 in our composite camera test , so it's up there with the best in the business. As always, we need to snap side-by-side samples and also test thein the lab to produce an objective, data-driven comparison score, but the Pixel will have some tough competition. This 1,100 mAh difference might look like a lot on paper, but at the end of the day these two might be closer than expected. Themight potentially get faster wired charging, as there are rumors mentioning 45W wired charging support, but worst-case scenario, it will retain the 27W of the last generation. Theare matched when it comes to pricing—both phones start at $999. This means they are direct competitors. Specs-wise they are also very similar, with minor differences here and there. We need more data to proclaim the winner of this, but even at this preliminary stage it's clear that Google has been working hard to produce a true compact flagship competitor, and it succeeded with thewill most likely cement Google's place as a third option on the US market, but will it be able to topple the Mariyan, a tech enthusiast with a background in Nuclear Physics and Journalism, brings a unique perspective to PhoneArena.
