iPhone 17 vs pixel 10 vs galaxy S25: all compared features, which is the best between Apple, Google and Samsung?

While the new Apple smartphones are preparing to pass our ruthless series of tests, let’s take the time to objectively analyze the technical sheets of the three cadors at the end of the year: theiPhone 17 From Apple, the Google Pixel 10 and the Samsung Galaxy S25. Here is the shock of standard models!

Not so different screens

Regarding the display, this trio of smartphones is fading. All are entitled to an adaptive cooling rate oscillating from 1 to 120 Hz, as well as a 6.3 -inch screen diagonal for iPhone 17 and Pixel 10, the Galaxy S25 Sharing apart with 6.2 inches.

On the brightness side, the Samsung model is struggling with a peak at 2,600 cd/m², against 3000 CD/m² for the Google and Apple models. The iPhone 17 here benefits from an advantage thanks to the presence of an anti-reflective glass, perfect for enjoying the slab in highlight conditions.

We then find a punch centered in the upper middle for the Galaxy S25 and Pixel 10, containing a selfie camera compatible with facial recognition, and a fingerprint sensor under the downstairs screen. The iPhone 17 benefits from a Dynamic Island hiding a new frontal sensor and Face ID.

Diametrically opposed designs between iPhone 17, Galaxy S25 and Pixel 10

On the design side, everything is different, except the aluminum frame. Thus, the back of each model has its originality. THE
Galaxy S25 hosts three water -shaped photo sensors placed vertically, while the iPhone 17 houses a transparent vertical island with two photo objectives. Finally, the Pixel 10 Has an oblong photo module doing almost the entire width of the smartphone.

At the game of which has the least thick, the Samsung smartphone wins with a finesse of 7.2 mm, against 7.95 mm at Apple and 8.6 mm for Google. Result, the weights are respectively 162 g, 177 g and 204 g.

From power to the rendezvous, a fair fight?

Unsurprisingly, the Pixel 10 is behind in terms of raw power, and even does less well than the A18 chip of the iPhone 16. The Snapdragon 8 Elite of the Galaxy S25, it exceeds the A18 of the iPhone 16/16 Plus and the A18 Pro of the iPhone 16 Pro/16 Pro Max. Our A19 performance tests from the iPhone 17 will allow us to find out who has the most in the belly.

Nevertheless, one thing is certain: the AI ​​war is not won by Apple IntelligenceGoogle and Samsung having ahead in this area with much more advanced tools, from generative artificial intelligence to photo retouching. As long as Siri has not made his great revolutiondifficult to see the apple firm catch up.

On the RAM side, the advantage remains at the two Android models with 12 GB of RAM, against always 8 GB for the iPhone 17 – while the Air variants, 17 pro and 17 pro max Climb to 12 GB.

Everyone has their advantage in photo and video

Now let’s talk about images capture… Here is first of all a comparative table:

In short

• The three main sensors take advantage of an quasi-similar definition, cut for the pixel-binning
• The iPhone 17 enjoys an ultra-angle four times more defined
• The Pixel 10 has the best optical zoom with an x5 magnification
• The Galaxy S25 rises the highest in digital zoom (X30)
• The Samsung smartphone wins on the front of video capture by offering the 8K, against 4K for the other models
• The front camera of the iPhone 17 stands out by going to 18 Mpx, without forgetting the Center Stage function

As a bonus, the Apple model offers two advantages: space videos and Camera control button.

A autonomy always to the advantage of the Apple?

On the autonomy side, our previous tests already showed who was the winning loser on the side of Android, with a Pixel 10 reaching barely 14 h 52 min of endurance on a load, against 22 h 59 min on the Galaxy S25.

Knowing that the iPhone 16 and 17 battery has not changed in size (In any case, in Europe), we should expect a result similar to the previous generation, or 22 h 41 min of autonomy.

However, the best energy efficiency of the A19 and the software optimization of Apple with iOS 26 could reshape the cards to the detriment of Samsung. Answer in our test at the release of this model, this September 19, 2025.

For the fast load, the Pixel 10 feeds from 0 to 100 % in 1 h 46 min, against 1 h 26 min for the Galaxy S25. Apple having not announced a change with the iPhone 17, we should stay on the 1 h 32 min of the iPhone 16.

Who is the most expensive between the iPhone 17, the Pixel 10 and the Galaxy S25?

Let’s finish with the launch prices of the three smartphones, although the discounts have already started the pricing of the Android models of Samsung and Google.

The Pixel 10 and the Galaxy S25 were launched at € 899 with 128 GB of storage, and respectively at € 999 and € 969 in 256 GB version. The iPhone 17 begins his career at 969 € In 256 GB and reached € 1219 with 512 GB.
