iPhone 17 VS Pixel 10

The iPhone 17 comes out ahead overall, scoring 89 to the Pixel 10's 86. Priced at $799 against $799, the choice between them is as much about budget as specs, and each phone leans toward a slightly different buyer.

For raw speed the iPhone 17 takes the lead, with an AnTuTu score of 1,950,000 against 1,480,000, driven by its A19. Both feel quick in everyday use, but the gap shows up in demanding games and heavy multitasking where the faster chip pulls ahead.

The iPhone 17 pairs a 48MP main camera with optical zoom and a 18MP front sensor. The Pixel 10 answers with 48MP, zoom and a 11MP selfie camera.

Battery favours the Pixel 10, with a 4970mAh cell against 3692mAh. For refills the iPhone 17 is quickest at 40W, spending less time tied to a charger.

Both use high refresh rate OLED screens. The iPhone 17 measures 6.3" and peaks at 3000 nits, while the Pixel 10 is 6.3" and reaches 3000 nits. Screen size and outright brightness are where they separate most.

Overall the Pixel 10 is the one we would steer most buyers toward. One runs iOS and the other Android, so your existing apps, watch and ecosystem may matter more than the spec differences. Consider the iPhone 17 instead if raw performance matters more to you.
