• Head-to-head comparisons conclude the Galaxy S25 Ultra remains the stronger all‑around package, with the Pixel narrowing the experience gap without overtaking it.
• NDTV reports the iPhone 17 Pro Max’s A19 Pro chipset leads in CPU/GPU performance and efficiency, whereas the Pixel banks on AI-driven imaging to court photographers.
• Reviewers credit the 3nm Tensor G5 with cooler, more efficient operation, UFS 4.0 storage for longevity, and a promised seven years of Android OS updates that enable more on‑device AI.
• The OLED panel is described as the brightest on any phone, and Google debuts native Qi2 magnetic charging at roughly 25W even as wired charging remains capped at 45W.
• Camera changes focus on Pro Res Zoom up to 100x and AI-assisted photo and video improvements, though rivals retain an edge in raw sensor specifications.
