iPhone 17 Pro Max vs Pixel 10 Pro XL: Main differences to expect
We are just months until Apple once again does the trick where it announces new iPhones, and you're immediately roughly $1,000 lighter. The iPhone 17 Pro Max will definitely be the most likely candidate for your hard-earned cash. But what if you're an Android fan, one that rates Google's phones higher than the rest? Well, you're in for a good time, as Google is largely expected to undercut Apple and release its Pixel in August. The Pixel 10 Pro XL is the one that will carry the best specs on a regular phone. Both devices are expected to carry minor updates over their predecessors. Neither will revolutionize the experience, and honestly speaking, we don't feel that either one needs any major changes in the first place. But which one should you consider, and which one should find its place in your pocket? iPhone 17 Pro Max vs Pixel 10 Pro XL expected differences: Table of Contents: Design Display Performance Camera Battery Specs Summary The iPhone 17 Pro Max will retain the general shape and form of previous large iPhones, utilizing a premium titanium frame with the all-encompassing flat design language. However, as Apple strives to differentiate the newer models from the older ones, the iPhone 17 Pro Max will get a larger camera island at the rear, a rectangular-shaped on rather than a squarish one. This new design language applies to all models except for the regular iPhone (Image Credit-Weibo) That will bring the iPhone closer to the Pixel 10 lineup in terms of design. Yes, the Pixel 10 Pro XL will have a similar camera strip at the back, but slightly more compact. In fact, we don't really expect any major changes to hit the Pixel 10 Pro XL, so it will most likely look exactly like the Pixel 9 Pro XL: aluminum frame and matte glass back. We could possibly get new color variations, too. Size-wise, we expect the iPhone 17 Pro Max to be the thicker device here, with a projected thickness of 8.73 mm. The Pixel 10 Pro XL will be ever-so-slightly thinner at around 8.5 mm, but we challenge you to notice this minor difference in real life. iPhone 17 Pro Max render (Image Credit-@asherdipps The iPhone will continue to be the device with more variety in the button lineup. The Action Button and the Camera Controls key are returning this fall, while the Pixel 10 Pro XL will possibly score no extra buttons rather than the standard volume/power button combo. Color-wise, we expect the iPhone 17 Pro Max to be available in Black Titanium, White Titanium, Natural Titanium, and one extra color. The Pixel might come in Midnight, Iris, and two vivid colors. Display Differences We don't expect any display size increases on either device. So, don't be surprised if the iPhone 17 Pro Max rolls out with a 6.9-inch Liquid Retina XDR screen with thin bezels, while the Pixel 10 Pro XL comes with a 6.8-inch Super Actua one with slightly thicker bezels. Both phones will be OLED ones, with high-resolution, excellent color accuracy, the sharpness to match, and peak brightness nearing 3,000 nits. That would actually be a massive improvement for the iPhone. Most previous iPhone Pro Max devices maxed out at around 2,000 nits, so this increase will be palpable, most likely. We've heard that Apple might employ a slightly smaller Dynamic Island notch up front thanks to using smaller and more space-efficient elements, which would increase the screen real estate. However, we doubt In terms of biometrics, the Pixel 10 Pro XL will continue Google's affair with ultrasonic fingerprint scanners, while Apple is unlikely to move away from the well-established Face ID system right now. Apple's iPhone 17 Pro Max will be the third device to employ a 3nm chipset. The upcoming A19 Pro chip will surely increase the upper limits of mobile performance, just as most of its predecessors. We expect nothing short of superb raw performance, as well as even better efficiency than before, which will hopefully improve battery life even further. Meanwhile, significant changes are coming to the Pixel 10 lineup. It will be the first time Google uses a custom-made Tensor chip manufactured by TSMC on its 3nm process and will finally break away from the Exynos blueprint that was used to make all previous Tensor chips. This could finally give us the major performance improvement we've desired on the Pixel lineup. In terms of memory and storage, which also add up to the performance, the iPhone 17 Pro Max could arrive with 12GB of RAM, a major increase over the 8GB one on previous jumbo iPhones. The reason could be trivial: more headroom is needed to ensure the smooth on-device Apple Intelligence processing for years to come. Apple might want to ensure that the phone will run its AI processes smooth for as long as it's supported. The iPhone 17 Pro Max will likely feature three storage versions: 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB. The Pixel 10 Pro XL, on the other hand, will come with either 12 or 16GB of RAM, and while most of Google's AI processing is done in the cloud, having more of the vital hardware component has never hurt anybody. We expect the Pixel to allow an entry-level version with slightly less storage, some 128GB. The Pixel 10 Pro XL will arrive with Android 16 and will be supported for seven years. This software update will score a major Material 3 Expressive redesign in early September, likely coinciding with the Pixel 10 launch, and will freshen up the aesthetics of the OS. Meanwhile, the iPhone 17 Pro Max will arrive with iOS 26 , a software update that should have been called iOS 19, but for consistency's sake, Apple renamed all of its operating systems. This one also comes with a redesign, dubbed Liquid Glass, and it's consistent across all platforms. iOS 26 also scores many other changes––read more about them here. Both phones will employ triple camera setups at the back, and they have never been closer in terms of specs. The iPhone will continue to use a 48MP main camera and a 48MP ultrawide, just as the iPhone 16 Pro Max, but the periscope is possibly also getting a 48MP camera upgrade. That one will max out at 5X optical zoom, but Apple might achieve significantly more powerful and longer hybrid zoom thanks to in-sensor cropping with the periscope. Who knows, we might get up to 50X zoom with the next iPhone. Meanwhile, the Pixel 10 Pro XL is possibly getting setup similar to the Pixel 9 Pro XL . This essentially means a 50MP main camera, a 48MP ultrawide, a 48MP periscope with 5X zoom, and a high-res 42MP front-facing camera. Not too bad, and given Google's acumen in image-processing, we are likely getting one very potent cameraphone! An upgrade is expected at the front of the iPhone 17 Pro Max . To commemorate the slimming of the Dynamic Island, Apple is reportedly increasing the resolution of the FaceTime camera from 12 to 24MP. The Pixel 10 Pro XL will likely remain a 42MP one, so the resolution advantage could be Google's. The iPhone might finally score 8K video-recording, despite the low demand for this feature. The Pixel could possibly also score 8K video-recording: the sensor that was featured on the Pixel 9 Pro XL was already capable of doing that, but the functionality was likely dropped due to heat concerns. We don't expect significantly larger silicon-carbon batteries on either phone, let's get this straight from the get-go. Both will likely score minimal increase (or decrease) to their battery sizes. Last year's iPhone 16 Pro Max featured the largest battery ever fitted on an iPhone. At 4,685 mAh, it pushed the limits for Apple. Could we get another record this year? Well, possibly, but don't expect a major increase. Something under 100 or even 50 mAh is more believable. The same applies to the Pixel 10 Pro XL. We don't expect Google to put a battery significantly larger than the one on the Pixel 9 Pro XL , and this one came with a 5,000 mAh one. Charging-wise, the iPhone will likely repeat the charging configuration of the iPhone 16 Pro Max , with 27W wired charging (that could jump to 40W in certain scenarios) and 25W MagSafe 2.0. No changes are expected for the Google flagship: 37W wired and 23W wireless charging. The latter will possibly be Qi2-ready, meaning MagSafe for Android, but there won't be any magnets embedded in the phone itself. Instead, Google will put the magnets in the protective cases for the range, which is definitely a workaround. Apple and Google are cooking, but the dishes might not blow you away. Sure, they will be tastier, but nothing our palates haven't experienced before. The iPhone 17 Pro Max will continue honing its super-premium design with a potent hardware setup that's perfectly suited for the upcoming iOS 26 update. A new camera strip at the rear could summarize most of the major changes here. In Google's camp, the changes could be even less on the outside, but a massive internal shift towards a fully custom 3nm Tensor chip could be the biggest upgrade the Pixel lineup has seen in years.

NFC 15 comes with improved range and better features
NFC Forum introduced version 15 of the NFC (Near Field Communication) standard. The most notable upgrade is the extended communication range. It's now 2 cm, up from 0.5 cm. This makes tasks such as contactless payments faster and more stable. With the increased range, the NFC no longer requires precise device alignment and enables more consistent connections. The new NFC 15 benefits compact devices like smartphones and wearables the most. The new NFC standard should reduce failed tap payments, for example, and simplify NFC use. It also enables smoother interactions in public transport, better "digital keys" experience and easier wireless charging alignment. Despite the extended range, the NFC Forum says the new standard doesn't compromise security. It remains a proximity-based feature and protects contactless payments. NFC 15 also brings support for Digital Product Passport (DPP) allowing brands to store product lifecycle data using the NFC Data Exchange Format (NDEF). The NFC 15 standard's technical specifications are already available, while public access and compliance certification will begin this fall. Source

It should be presented to the general public in August and here is what makes it you're in a search of a capable phone and want to step out of your Galaxy and iPhone comfort zone, themight just be the one for chipset (a.k.a. an application processor) is what drives it all in a phone – it's its brain, sort of. Recent Pixel phones have utilized chipsets made by Samsung Foundry – the Tensor G1 through G4, to be precise. This tradition will be paused with the new Tensor G5 that's to power theand the rest of the models in the family. This piece of silicon will be designed by Google itself from scratch and will be built by TSMC (the company that makes chips for the iPhone).Google is replacing several key components, including the GPU, modem, and image signal processor, aiming for better efficiency, camera performance, and stability. While overall performance gains may be modest, this transition gives Google greater control over its chip design – though it could introduce early bugs, as this is effectively a first-gen effort under a new supply Pixel 10 is expected to introduce a new macro photography system that uses both the telephoto and ultrawide sensors, switching between them based on how close the user is to the subject. This tele-macro approach, previously seen in devices like the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Oppo Find N5, allows users to capture detailed close-ups from a greater distance—useful for subjects like insects. The ultrawide sensor will still be used for very close shots, while the telephoto lens will offer a longer reach and natural background is expected to improve the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor on the upcomingand its siblings, making it faster and more responsive, especially when users have wet or dirty fingers. While face unlock has met high security standards since the Pixel 8 , Google continues to offer both biometric options for added flexibility and user convenience. This dual-system approach ensures users can rely on secure access in a variety of phone should arrive with active support for the Qi2 wireless charging standard . For it to fully work, though,owners should buy a separate, compatible magnetic case to utilize Qi2. As you've probably heard, Qi2 is the latest wireless charging standard that uses magnetic alignment for more efficient and faster charging. It improves power delivery and reduces heat compared to older Qi versions. Samsung and OnePlus models from 2025 also come with similar Qi2 support, like the one expected on theThewill be AI-focused, just like the rest of the 2025 flagships out there. The previously known as "Pixel Sense" AI assistant is now dubbed as "Magic Cue". This feature is designed to work alongside Gemini (and not replace it), offering passive, context-aware assistance without requiring prompts. It monitors screen activity and app usage to suggest relevant information or actions, like pulling a flight number from Gmail when someone asks for it in a chat. The tool draws on data from Google apps such as Calendar, Keep, and Messages, but processes this information in a secure, isolated expected to arrive with a 4,700mAh capacity battery on board – matching its predecessor, the Pixel 9 Pro . However, the new Tensor G5 chipset should be optimized in a way that allows for longer usage despite the same mAh numbers. Theis shaping out to be way behind some contenders (that offer 7,000mAh – or more), but the phone should allow a whole-day expected that thewill finally bring an upgrade to its PWM dimming rate , a change that could benefit users sensitive to screen flicker. PWM controls display brightness by quickly turning pixels on and off, and low rates can cause discomfort for some. While current Pixels use a 240Hz rate, Google is reportedly working on improvements, though it remains to be seen how it will compare to higher-end devices like the Honor Magic 6 Pro
