Specification	Google Pixel 9 Pro	Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max
Release year	2024	2022
Display	6.3-inch (161 mm) Super Actua LTPO OLED; 1280 × 2856, 495 ppi, 20:9; HDR support It is a higher-resolution panel in the same body as the Pixel 9; 495 ppi renders text and photo edges more sharply. Because the corners are rounded, the visible area is slightly smaller than the measured diagonal. Google	6.7-inch Super Retina XDR OLED; 2796 × 1290 pixels, 460 ppi; ProMotion adaptive refresh up to 120 Hz, Always-On, Dynamic Island; 1,000 nits typical, 1,600 HDR peak, 2,000 nits outdoor peak ProMotion rises to 120 Hz during motion and drops on static images, balancing smoothness and battery; this is what lets the lock screen stay always on. Dynamic Island uses the front-camera cutout as an area for notifications and activities. Apple
Refresh rate	Smooth Display, 1–120 Hz (LTPO) The LTPO panel drops as low as 1 Hz for static content and the always-on display to save power, and rises to 120 Hz when scrolling. Google notes 120 Hz is not available in every app. Google	—
Brightness and contrast	Up to 2,000 nits (HDR) and up to 3,000 nits peak; >2,000,000:1 contrast HDR brightness is measured with the whole screen lit and peak brightness with only 5% lit; the peak applies to small bright areas in sunlight. Google	—
Cover glass and build	Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 front and back (silky matte back); polished aluminium frame The finishes are the reverse of the Pixel 9, which has a glossy back and a matte frame. The aluminium in the housing is 100% recycled. Google	—
