Which should you buy?
The Pixel 10 Pro edges ahead on the Mars Score (63.2 vs 66.2), but the 3.0-point gap is small enough that the right pick comes down to which spec advantages matter to you.
Pick the iPhone 15 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 screen size.
Pick the Pixel 10 Pro if you photograph or shoot video regularly and want the better imaging pipeline of the two. Its strongest claims are front camera, ram, wireless charging, 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: 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.
