If there’s one thing that the Pixel 10 Pro XL has proven to me, it’s that AI has an important role now more than ever — and Pro Res Zoom is proof of that. While it’s certainly an asset for this best Android phone contender, the Pixel 10 Pro XL still needs to overcome the iPhone 17 Pro Max. That’s why I shot over 200 photos with the iPhone 17 Pro Max vs Pixel 10 Pro XL to definitely say which is the better camera phone.
Apple has proven its snapshot capabilities in my 200 photo shootout with the iPhone 17 Pro Max vs Galaxy S25 Ultra. Even though there was controversy around the iPhone's "downgrade" from a 5x optical zoom camera to a 4x one, its 48MP main and ultrawide cameras still perform very well across different situations, as does its new 18MP Center Stage camera.
