Pixel needs to improve to catch iPhone 17 Pro.
638The iPhone 17 Pro is here — but what can the Google Pixel 10 Pro learn from it? In this video, we break down the key differences in design, AI features, software philosophy, camera systems, and video performance between Apple’s latest flagship and Google’s best Pixel yet.
From Apple’s “Liquid Glass” UI to Google’s clean Material You, and from iPhone’s Pro-grade video to Pixel’s one-click photography — we explore where each shines and where Google still needs to catch up.
Would you switch from iPhone 17 Pro to Pixel 10 Pro? Or should Google just stay its own course? Let us know in the comments 👇
