Which should you buy?
The V40 Pro edges ahead on the Mars Score (61.7 vs 67.6), but the 5.9-point gap is small enough that the right pick comes down to which spec advantages matter to you.
Pick the iPhone 17 if the display is what you stare at all day — refresh rate, brightness, or sharpness is where the difference will be most visible. The biggest gaps in its favor are antutu, pixel density, promised os updates, among others.
Pick the V40 Pro if you photograph or shoot video regularly and want the better imaging pipeline of the two. Its strongest claims are front camera, wired charging, ram, among others.
Both ship with comparable refresh rate, 5g support, water resistance, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.
Bottom line: the V40 Pro is the safer default. The other model is the right choice only when its specific advantages line up with your priorities.
