Apple's new iPhone heavyweight faces the AI powerhouse that is the Pixel.
The iPhone 17 Pro Max brings an updated tetra-prism telephoto camera and an innovative new square sensor for the front camera that allows for some very cool tricks.
The Pixel 10 Pro XL, on the other hand, offers the latest and greatest generation of Google's computational photography magic and with new AI tricks with ProRes Zoom it proclaims itself to be the best camera on a phone ever.
To test the real capabilities of these two camera powerhouses we took dozens of photos in various conditions. Take a look at the samples side by side with and tell us which one you think wins this battle.

So Google better really step up its software processing game...
