Which should you buy?
The GT Neo 7 edges ahead on the Mars Score (67.5 vs 74), but the 6.5-point gap is small enough that the right pick comes down to which spec advantages matter to you.
Pick the iPhone 17 Pro Max 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 pixel density, screen size, antutu, among others.
Pick the GT Neo 7 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, battery capacity, front camera, among others.
Both ship with comparable ram, refresh rate, 5g support, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.
Bottom line: the GT Neo 7 is the safer default. The other model is the right choice only when its specific advantages line up with your priorities.
