iPhone 17 Pro Max: Scores Apple-published 3,000-nit outdoor peak brightness, 460 ppi and adaptive refresh up to 120Hz. Peak brightness is not independently measured.
Pixel 10 Pro: Uses Google's 3,300-nit peak claim, 495 ppi and adaptive 120Hz maximum. This models published capabilities, not measured display quality.
