Between the 200 Pro and iPhone 17 Air, the 200 Pro comes out ahead in wired charging and wireless charging, while the iPhone 17 Air wins on weight and antutu. Overall, the 200 Pro scores 66.9 and the iPhone 17 Air scores 60.3 on our Mars Score.
Which should you buy?
The 200 Pro edges ahead on the Mars Score (66.9 vs 60.3), but the 6.6-point gap is small enough that the right pick comes down to which spec advantages matter to you.
Pick the 200 Pro if you photograph or shoot video regularly and want the better imaging pipeline of the two. The biggest gaps in its favor are wired charging, wireless charging, front camera, among others.
Pick the iPhone 17 Air if you push the hardware — gaming, on-device AI, heavy multitasking — and the extra compute headroom is worth the trade-offs. Its strongest claims are weight, antutu, water resistance, among others.
Both ship with comparable refresh rate, 5g support, pixel density, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.
Bottom line: the 200 Pro is the safer default. The other model is the right choice only when its specific advantages line up with your priorities.
