Which should you buy?
The GT 7 Pro is the clear pick on raw spec strength, leading by 9.8 points on the Mars Score. The margin is wide enough that the underdog only makes sense if its individual strengths line up with what you specifically need.
Pick the iPhone 17 Pro 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 weight, pixel density, promised os updates.
Pick the GT 7 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 wired charging, wireless charging, battery capacity, 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 GT 7 Pro is the safer default. The other model is the right choice only when its specific advantages line up with your priorities.
