Buying advice

Which should you buy?

These two are nearly even on the Mars Score (63.4 vs 66.2). The decision isn't about overall quality — both clear the bar — it's about which specific trade-offs fit your use.

Pick the iPhone 17 Pro if you push the hardware — gaming, on-device AI, heavy multitasking — and the extra compute headroom is worth the trade-offs. The biggest gaps in its favor are antutu, wireless charging.

Pick the Pixel 10 Pro if your top frustration with your current device is running out of charge before the day ends — endurance is the lead spec here. Its strongest claims are front camera, ram, battery capacity, among others.

Both ship with comparable screen size, refresh rate, 5g support, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.

Bottom line: there is no wrong answer here — match the spec advantages to how you actually use the product. The Mars Score parity tells you both are well-rounded; the differences are about trade-offs, not quality.
