Display6.3-inch Super Actua LTPO OLED; 1280×2856, 495 ppi; 1–120 Hz

LTPO lets the refresh rate drop to 1 Hz on static content to save power. The 6.8-inch Pro XL has a different resolution (1344×2992).

Google		6.7-inch Super Retina XDR OLED; 2796 × 1290 pixels, 460 ppi; ProMotion up to 120 Hz; Always-On display; Dynamic Island

ProMotion changes the refresh rate with the content: it rises to 120 Hz for scrolling and drops on still images to save battery. The Always-On display shows the time and notifications dimmed while locked.

Apple
BrightnessUp to 2,200 nits HDR; 3,300 nits peak; over 2,000,000:1 contrast

Peak brightness is reached briefly in sunlight and on small areas; it is not sustained full-screen brightness.

Google		1000 nits typical; 1600 nits peak (HDR); 2000 nits peak (outdoor)

2000 nits is a peak reached with automatic brightness in sunlight; manual brightness stays lower.

Apple
Glass and bodyFront: Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2; matte back glass, polished aluminium frame Google—
ProcessorGoogle Tensor G5 (TSMC 3 nm); Titan M2 security chip

Google says the CPU is up to 34% faster on average than Tensor G4 and the TPU up to 60% more powerful (pre-production testing).

Memory and storage16 GB RAM; 128 GB, 256 GB, 512 GB or 1 TB

Rear cameras50 MP wide f/1.68 (82°, 1/1.3"); 48 MP ultrawide f/1.7 (123°, macro focus); 48 MP 5× telephoto f/2.8 (22°)

Pro Res Zoom goes up to 100×; 5× is optical, beyond that the zoom is computational.

Google		48 MP main (24 mm, ƒ/1.78, sensor-shift OIS); 12 MP ultra wide (13 mm, 120°); 12 MP 5x telephoto (120 mm, ƒ/2.8, tetraprism); up to 25x digital zoom

The tetraprism design folds light inside the body so a 120 mm focal length fits in the thin case. Values above 5x are digital zoom and lose detail.

Front camera42 MP f/2.2, 103° ultrawide, autofocus Google12 MP TrueDepth, ƒ/1.9, autofocus; Face ID Apple
Video4K at 24/30/60 fps; 8K at 24/30 fps (with Video Boost); front camera 4K at 30/60 fps

8K requires Video Boost, which processes the clip in Google’s cloud; it is not a direct on-device 8K mode. Google says 1080p and 4K30 record 10-bit video by default.

Google		4K at 24/25/30/60 fps; Dolby Vision HDR 4K at 60 fps; ProRes 4K at 60 fps with external recording; Log video; Cinematic mode 4K HDR at 30 fps; Action mode 2.8K at 60 fps; spatial video at 1080p 30 fps

Log recording gives a flat image for colour grading; Action mode reduces shake with software stabilisation and crops the image to 2.8K.

Apple
Battery4,870 mAh typical (4,707 mAh minimum)

The Pro XL has a 5,200 mAh battery.

Google		—
Wired chargingUp to 55% in about 30 minutes with a 30 W+ USB-C PPS charger

The charger is sold separately. PPS is a USB Power Delivery profile that lets the charger adjust voltage in small steps.

Wireless chargingPixelsnap magnetic, Qi2 certified, up to 15 W

The Pro XL goes up to 25 W; the smaller Pro is limited to 15 W.

Apple
USB-C—Charging, DisplayPort and USB 3 (up to 10 Gb/s)

The 10 Gb/s speed needs a USB 3 capable cable; the charge cable in the box does not provide it. DisplayPort output can drive an external display at 4K HDR.

Apple
