  179. <p>The latest iPhone design overhaul dates all the way back to the 12-series when Apple flattened the sides and made the square camera bump a bit more prominent. This year, after long generations of the same, we have the next big change.</p>
  180. <p>The <span>iPhone 17</span> Pro now features a different camera housing on the back, one that stretches from side to side. It&#8217;s a radically different look that might prove polarizing and Apple calls it &#8220;extended plateau.&#8221;</p>
  181. <p>The <span>iPhone 14 Pro</span>, on the other hand, uses the same, tried and tested, flat sides and square camera design from the past couple of generations. </p>

  201. <p>The Pro version of the iPhone has grown in size since the 14 Pro, mainly due to the larger screen and also some battery upgrades in the past generations. That said, the <span>iPhone 14 Pro</span> is one of the thinnest Pro models in the portfolio at 7.9 mm.</div>
  202. <p>The <span>iPhone 17</span> Pro has reverted to aluminum after two years of titanium, and this results in a bigger and heavier phone, compared to the predecessor. Interestingly enough, the weight is exactly the same when we compare it to the stainless steel <span>iPhone 14 Pro</span>.</p>
  203. <p>In terms of colors, here&#8217;s how these two compare:</p>

  232. <p>There&#8217;s some overlap here, both phones feature a silver version, but the orange <span>iPhone 17</span> Pro really catches the eye. Oh, and there&#8217;s no black version, so that&#8217;s interesting too.</p>

  237. <p>After giving up the resolution arms race, manufacturers now engage in something of a brightness war. The <span>iPhone 17</span> Pro gets the same 6.3-inch screen as its predecessor, but much brighter. Apple says it can go up to 3,000 nits, thanks to a new M14 material, used.</p>

  265. <p>There&#8217;s a brand-new seven-layer anti-reflective coating on all devices from the <span>iPhone 17</span> series. It works in a similar way to the anti-reflective screen on the <!-- HTMLTagInstance html-tag-7c59447d-7128-46a6-bb4a-4f1e2d61f378 -->Galaxy S25 Ultra, but not as effective. Nevertheless, you can clearly see that it makes a difference in a direct comparison with the <!-- HTMLTagInstance html-tag-ccd4152c-a0e4-4158-ac83-77a6b7abc42d -->iPhone 16 series in these samples from a hands-on video by YouTuber MrWhoseTheBoss.</p>
  266. </div>
  267. <p>The <span>iPhone 14 Pro</span>, on the other hand, features a smaller 6.1-inch OLED panel with the same 120Hz ProMotion tech on board, but the brightness figures are different. The phone is rated at 1000 nits in HBM (High brightness mode) and up to 2000 nits peak brightness. We measured a little over 1000 nits and it will be very interesting to see how the <span>iPhone 17</span> Pro will perform once it lands in our lab.</p>

  276. <div>There&#8217;s a bigger gap when it comes to hardware and software between the <span>iPhone 17</span> Pro and the <span>iPhone 14 Pro</span>. For starters, the latter uses Apple&#8217;s A16 Bionic, built on a 4nm node. It&#8217;s getting a bit old now, and it doesn&#8217;t support <!-- HTMLTagInstance html-tag-fbcad9d6-e81f-4380-8d55-ddd87186d295 -->Apple Intelligence.</p>
  277. <p>The new <span>iPhone 17</span> Pro features the latest Apple A19 Pro chip which Apple says is the best silicon in a smartphone to date. It&#8217;s 40% faster than the chip inside the <!-- HTMLTagInstance html-tag-2ae07a8b-e639-4928-84e2-5732cd414a9a -->iPhone 16 Pro and much, much faster than the <span>iPhone 14 Pro</span>. How much faster? We will need to run some benchmarks to answer this question. </p>
  278. <p>Memory is another area where the difference is stark—12 GB of RAM on the <span>iPhone 17</span> Pro vs just 6 GB on the 14 Pro.</p>

  286. <p>Both the <span>iPhone 17</span> Pro and the <span>iPhone 14 Pro</span> will be running <span>iOS 26</span>, and this year’s software update is more than just a tweak — it’s a full-blown visual refresh.</div>
  287. <div>The new Liquid Glass design gives the interface a layered, semi-transparent look that you’ll notice across the entire system. It can be subtle if you stick to the default setup, but flip on the “Clear Look” mode and the glassy aesthetic becomes much more pronounced — very reminiscent of the Windows Vista era.</p>

  299. <p>The Camera app has also been redesigned to be cleaner, with only the photo and video modes visible by default, while other settings are tucked away behind swipes.</p>

  301. <div>The Phone and Messages apps introduce Call Screening and Spam Message Filtering, while a new Live Translate feature lets you interpret conversations during a call in real time,  finally catching up to Android’s long-standing equivalent.</div>
  302. <p>Messages gets even better with typing indicators (finally), custom chat backgrounds, and the ability to run polls in group chats. On top of that, Apple Maps is now smarter with learned routes and proactive rerouting, and the Photos app has been streamlined for quicker album access.</p>
  303. <p>Of course, while both phones will get <span>iOS 26</span>, only the <span>iPhone 17</span> Pro supports <span>Apple Intelligence</span> features, thanks to its newer hardware and more RAM. That means a longer runway for new AI capabilities, which is something to keep in mind if you&#8217;re thinking long-term.</p>

  332. <p>We still need to snap some samples, but the photographer and YouTuber Tyler Stalman already did that and we can clearly see far less noise on the <span>iPhone 17</span> Pro and a much better end result.</p>

  427. <p>Well, this one is pretty obvious &#8211; the <span>iPhone 17</span> Pro offers more than enough upgrades to justify a switch from the three-year-old <span>iPhone 14 Pro</span>. From the brighter screen, the new camera hardware, the faster silicon, the bigger battery and the USB-C port supporting faster charging, it&#8217;s the all-around better device.</p>
  428. <p>One thing to keep in mind, though, is the price tag of the <span>iPhone 17</span> Pro. It now starts at $1,099 and considering the 256GB base storage, this should be fine, but still, the fact of the matter is that you need to dish $1,100 for a Pro iPhone now.</p>
  429. <p>Stay tuned for tests, benchmarks, camera samples and a final verdict once we finish the review of the <span>iPhone 17</span> Pro.</p>

  465. <p>A lot can change in three years time. The new <span>iPhone 17 Pro Max</span> is a great example as it looks different, feels faster, adds a bunch of buttons, a new USB-C port, and most importantly — longer battery life and a better camera.</p>
  466. <p>There&#8217;s also a larger camera strip (Apple insists on calling it a &#8220;plateau&#8221;) at the rear. Aside from making the phone a bit top-heavy, this one is the signature design element that distinguishes the new device from older Pro Max models.</p>
  467. <p>Other than that, the <span>iPhone 17 Pro Max features an</span> Action Button and Camera Control that are missing on the 14 Pro Max. The newer Pro Max also has a USB-C port at the bottom rather than Lightning.</p>
  468. <p>One advantage for the older <span>iPhone 14 Pro Max</span> is its thinner, 7.8 mm profile, while the <span>iPhone 17 Pro Max</span> measures 8.65mm thick. However, the 17 Pro Max at 233 grams still weighs a bit less the 14 Pro Max with its 240 grams.</p>

  487. <p>With the <span>iPhone 17 Pro Max</span>, we&#8217;re getting a 6.9-inch Liquid Retina XDR OLED display. It&#8217;s a slightly bigger screen compared to the 6.7-inch display on the 14 Pro Max, but both have ProMotion.</p>
  488. <p>Leaks suggest that the 17 Pro Max uses Samsung&#8217;s new M14 OLED panel that not only boosts the energy efficiency of the device, but also allows for a much higher peak brightness of 3,000 nits. Compare this to a peak brightness of 2,000 nits on the 14 Pro Max.</p>

  509. <p>One other exciting change is a new seven-layer anti-reflective coating on the 17 Pro Max. This is not quite Galaxy Ultra level of anti-reflectivity, but Apple says it achieves 33% less reflections compared to its previous displays, so it is noticeable.</p>

  519. <div>You can clearly see that it makes a difference in a direct comparison with the <!-- HTMLTagInstance html-tag-82d08140-8904-4594-b601-8f728457dd41 -->iPhone 16 series in the these images from a hands-on video by YouTuber MrWhoseTheBoss.</div>

  527. <p>Much better sustained performance and neural accelerators in each GPU core</p>
  528. </p></div>
  529. </p></div>
  530. <p>One thing is certain: the performance difference between the <span>iPhone 17 Pro Max</span> and the<span> 14 Pro Max is substantial,</span> given the generational difference between the two chips. The newer model features the A19 Pro chipset, Apple&#8217;s third-generation 3nm chip. </p>
  531. <p>In contrast, the <span>iPhone 14 Pro Max</span> came with the Apple A16 Bionic, Cupertino&#8217;s last 4nm mobile chip used on a Pro iPhone.</p>
  532. <p>Does this mean the <span>iPhone 14 Pro Max</span> is terribly outdated? No, of course not. It&#8217;s still fairly capable and delivers a decent amount of performance in standard everyday usage scenarios, but if you want fast photo and video editing or heavy-duty performance, the 17 Pro Max makes a strong case with up 40% faster CPU performance.</p>
  533. <p>Also, don&#8217;t forget that the <span>iPhone 14 Pro Max</span> does NOT support <span>Apple Intelligence</span>, while the 17 Pro Max does and it has more memory and neural accelerators in each GPU core, making on-device AI processing much faster.</p>

  558. <div>The <span>iPhone 17 Pro Max</span> likely feature 12 GB of RAM, which shapes it as a very future-proof device, especially when we factor in the tasking requirements of <!-- HTMLTagInstance html-tag-4a7bf194-f0f9-4bd2-8b89-a24e6477136a -->Apple Intelligence. The 14 Pro Max only 6 GB of RAM, failing the requirements for <span>Apple Intelligence</span>. This also means that the multitasking experience with the older device would be nowhere near as good.</div>
  559. <p>Storage-wise, the <span>iPhone 14 Pro Max</span> was the last Pro iPhone to boast a 128GB version along with 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB ones. The 17 Pro Max starts from 256GB for the base tier, but also at a higher price.</p>
  560. <p>Both models run on <span>iOS 26</span>, Apple&#8217;s latest operating system, so the software is the same.</p>

This can either be (relatively) subtle if you stick with the default look of the system, or it can be very &#8220;in your face&#8221; if you go for the new &#8220;Clear Look&#8221; that makes everything glassy and transparent.

  566. </p></div>
  567. <p>Apart from the design change, you get a number of cool and useful features in <span>iOS 26</span>.</p>
  568. </div>
  569. <p>The cool ones include a new dynamic wallpaper where the clock fluidly adapts to the available space on the wallpaper, and the whole wallpaper also moves and adapts for better visibility when you receive notifications. There is also new animated album art that you can see when you tap on the Now Playing menu.</p>
  570. <p>The useful features include a new simplified Camera design, which hides all modes except photo and video (no worries here, a swipe left and right will reveal them).</p>
  571. <p>Oh yeah, and Apple also fixes the Photos app mess from the previous iOS version withn easy access to your albums.</p>
  572. <p>But the really useful stuff is in the Phone and Messages app. You get new Call Screening features that let you fend off telemarketers (Pixel phones had this much earlier). This will also work in Messages, filtering out spammy messages.</p>
  573. <div>You also get a new Live Translate feature in calls, another feature we have already seen on Android earlier. Let’s see how well it works on iOS because it hasn’t been a smooth ride on other phones that have added this previously.</div>
  574. <p>Messages is getting improved with typing indicators, custom backgrounds for chats, and the ability to add polls in your group chats.</p>

  613. <p>With the <span>iPhone 17 Pro Max</span>, we are getting 48MP sensors on all cameras, and the tetraprism telephoto camera is getting a big upgrade.</p>
  614. <p>This new zoom camera features a larger physical sensor and a new 4X native zoom level. With sensor cropping, you can get lossless quality at 8X too, and the maximum digital zoom level is now 40X.</p>
  615. <p>The 14 Pro Max has a regular (non-tetraprism) telephoto camera with 3X zoom level, so it&#8217;s not quite as good with long-range zooming.</p>

  620. <p>Another change is found up front, where a new 18MP Center Stage camera not only brings a higher resolution and more detail, but it also uses a square sensor like action cameras. This allows for Action Mode-like stabilization on it, and a very cool new ability to shoot landscape photos while you still hold the phone vertically.</p>
  621. <h3>Front Camera Detail</h3>
  622. <div>In the above image captured by photographer and YouTuber Tyler Stalman, we can clearly see far less noise on the <!-- HTMLTagInstance html-tag-9a48d5e3-c588-42f6-94df-ec9e81aec0fe -->iPhone 17 Pro and a much cleaner shot.</div>

  629. <p>It is not just the reduced noise, however, as there is just more detail all around.</p>
  630. <p>We also like the new Dual Capture mode in video where you can simultaneously record using the rear cameras and overlay the front camera on top of that. With the new Center Stage camera, the front camera feed is more stable and you are always in frame.</p>
  631. <p>When it comes to video recording, the 17 Pro Max gets ProRes RAW video recording where you can squeeze the highest dynamic range (but the files will also be gigantic). The other signature new feature is GenLock, which allows you to sync videos across multiple devices on a larger production. While nice and dandy, these features will probably only interest the 1% that are into serious video making and not your average user.</p>

  641. <p>While exact battery sizes are among the last specs to be unveiled, we now have the battery life numbers and they suggest a notable boost in battery life.</p>
  642. <p>The caveat here is that battery sizes on the <span>iPhone 17 Pro Max</span> are different depending on whether you get the eSIM model (all iPhones in the US are eSIM) or not (European models have a physical SIM card). The eSIM models have a slightly bigger battery, making use of the extra space not occupied by the plastic SIM card.</p>
  643. <p>Here are the official battery life estimates by Apple:</p>
  644. <div>
  645. <ul>
  646. <li><span>iPhone 17 Pro Max</span> eSIM: 39 hours of video playback</li>
  647. <li><span>iPhone 17 Pro Max</span> physical SIM: 37 hours</li>

  676. <p>Charging-wise, the 17 Pro Max gets a big upgrade. After years of limiting iPhones to slower charging, Apple is finally allowing for 40W charging. The 14 Pro Max can charge up to 25W only.</p>
  677. <p>In practical terms, that means that you can reach a 50% charge in just 20 minutes on the 17 Pro Max, while it takes more than 30 minutes to get there on the 14 Pro Max.</p>
  678. <p>MagSafe is available on both, but the 17 Pro Max supprots the faster 25W charging speeds compared to 15W on the 14 Pro Max.</p>
  679. <p>There is no reverse wireless charging on either of these models.</p>

  737. <p>A lot has changed in three years.</p>
  738. <p>The <span>iPhone 17 Pro Max</span> looks bolder and different, it has much better battery life and faster charging, it no longer uses a Lightning port and it has a new Camera Control and Action buttons.</p>
  739. <p>It is also faster with a new chip and ready for <span>Apple Intelligence</span> (even if that takes an extra beat to arrive).</p>
  740. <p>The changes in the camera are not massive, but with better quality telephoto camera and new front camera tricks, they are noticeable. </p>
  741. <p>We also like the smaller touches like a brighter screen during the day, dimmer at night and the new anti-reflectivity coating and better scratch protection.</p>
  742. <p>If your <span>iPhone 14 Pro Max</span> is starting to feel a bit old, you surely won&#8217;t regret updating to the 17 Pro Max.</p>

  779. <p>While typically companies reserve their best features for their Pro phones, creating a clear separation between those premium devices and the more affordable ones, it seems that 2025 is the year that breaks that tradition.</p>
  780. <div>Along with Apple introducing ProMotion in its base <!-- HTMLTagInstance html-tag-a5d65766-8283-41e2-b076-245e68b845c0 -->iPhone 17, Google is also destroying one big barrier by introducing a telephoto camera in the $800 <span>Pixel 10</span>.</div>
  781. <p>With the same Tensor G5 chip as the Pro phones, the same AI features, same screen size and same-ish battery size, you get 90% of the experience in a much cheaper package.</p>
  782. <p>On our PhoneArena Review rating, the <span>Pixel 10</span> scores very close to the Pro models, with high scores for wireless charging now that includes magnets, and it typically has excellent scores for software thanks to Google&#8217;s long, seven-year software update commitment.</p>

  862. <p>Like most modern phones, there is not much included in the box. You get the phone itself, a charging cable, a SIM tool and some user manuals. There is no charging brick, no pre-installed screen protector, no cases included.</p>
  863. </div>
  864. <p>When it comes to the screen, you get a 6.3-inch OLED screen.</p>
  865. <p>The bezels are a bit thicker than on the Pro model, which is a bit annoying. The screen resolution is 1080p, again a bit lower than the 1280p on the Pro version, and if you look closely you can notice some slight pixelization.</p>
  866. <p>But at 3,000 nits of peak brightness, it gets almost as bright as the Pro sibling, which can hit 3,300 nits. Both are record holders for outdoor brightness, beating most of the competition. </p>
  867. <p>In our lab tests, we use consistent 20% white level measurements and the <span>Pixel 10</span> hits over 2,800 nits on that test, beating rival <span>Galaxy S25</span> by a lot.</p>
  868. <p>However, the minimum brightness does not drop as low as on the <span>iPhone 17</span> or <span>Galaxy S25</span>. The Pixel only reaches around 2 nits, which is still a bit bright when you use the phone in bed at night.</p>
  869. <p>As for biometrics, we have the now familiar ultrasonic fingerprint scanner which works very well. You can also register your face and use face recognition to access your banking apps and other sensitive information since the Pixel face scanner is rated a bit higher than other 2D image scanners.</p>

  880. <p>The biggest camera upgrade on the <span>Pixel 10</span> is without a doubt the inclusion of a dedicated telephoto lens, a 5X one. This is the same zoom level as on the Pro versions, but the other two cameras (the main and the ultrawide) actually feature slightly smaller sensors.</p>
  881. <p>You really have to pixel peep to notice the difference with the pros, but it occasionally does show in close-up detail or image noise.</p>
  882. <div><!-- CameraBenchmarkTagInstance camera-benchmark-widget-90218856-f8fb-48d5-a6c8-99ff2d98c07f --></p>
  883. <p>On our PhoneArena Camera Score, the <span>Pixel 10</span> hit very high scores for the main and selfie cameras, but scored a bit lower for zoom and ultra-wide video where detail was lower than other phones.</p>
  884. </div>
  885. <div>Before we jump into the new AI camera features, here are some sample photos we took with all the cameras:</p>
  886. <h3>Main Camera</h3>
  887. <p><!-- ImageTagInstance gallery-32342e54-4e3e-4007-8ce4-7bfaee29398a --></p>
  888. <h3>Zoom Quality</h3>
  889. <p>In the above crop from a 5X zoomed photo, you can see that the Pro model has slightly less noise and there is a difference in the color interpretation, but the difference is not a huge one.</p></div>
  890. <div><!-- ImageTagInstance gallery-1728547f-a33b-46f5-b3ed-1646cedbc11f --></p>
  891. <h3>Ultra-wide Camera</h3>
  892. <p><!-- ImageTagInstance gallery-e47e1a9d-e2c2-4516-af63-af09c89dafd6 --></p>
  893. <h3>Selfies</h3>
  894. <p><!-- ImageTagInstance gallery-a4ad69e9-a3df-4f5f-ba95-bd963e97e963 --></p>
  895. <p>While Google promised to fix portrait mode capture on the <span>Pixel 10</span> (a sore point for many years), we did not see much of a change and detail is still lacking in portrait shots.</p>
  896. <h3>Video Quality</h3>
  897. <p>In terms of video quality, the <span>Pixel 10</span> does a decent job, but it has some issues too.</div>
  898. <p>We noticed that when using the 5X zoom camera, the footage was not as stable as on rivals like the <span>Galaxy S25</span> or iPhones. Also, the lens flaring issues (little reflections from lights at night) is very noticeable on the Pixel, while you don&#8217;t get that on an iPhone.</p>
  899. <p>The Pixel supports 4K resolution natively. One missing feature here is Video Boost (you only get that on the Pro lineup), which can give you 8K quality after your 4K footage has been processed in the cloud. Keep in mind, though, that the Pixel can take more than 20 hours to process a single video and at this point we are not sure many people are willing to wait that long anyway.</p>
  900. <div>
  901. <h2><span id="performance" class="anchor">Pixel 10 Performance &amp; Benchmarks</span></h2>
  902. <h5>Better, still not great</h5>
  903. </div>
  904. <p>The Tensor G5 inside the <span>Pixel 10</span> is the first chip made by TSMC, which is known as the more reliable chip manufacturer compared to Samsung&#8217;s foundries that Google used for previous Tensor chips.</p>
  905. <div>This surely helps, but the raw numbers clearly show that the Tensor G5 is no Snapdragon 8 Elite.</p>
  906. <h3>CPU Performance Benchmarks:</h3>
  907. <p>In single-core CPU performance, the <span>Pixel 10</span> with Tensor G5 scores around 2,300 points, nearly 30% higher than the previous model, but also 30% behind the <span>Galaxy S25</span>.</p>
  908. </div>
  909. <p>Multi-core scores show an even more modest improvement over the previous model and a much bigger gap with the S25.</p>
  910. <p></p>
  911. <h3>GPU Performance</h3>
  912. </p>
  913. <p>Gamers will also find more processing power elsewhere. At first, before it has throttled, the <span>Pixel 10</span> scores nearly 30% higher than the <span>Pixel 9</span>, but after throttling, the results are almost equal. And again, the disconnect with the <span>Galaxy S25</span> is clear to see.</p>
  914. <p>On the storage front, you get 128GB in the base model, and that is where Google dropped the ball. The newly released <span>iPhone 17</span>, an arguably fuller package than the <span>Pixel 10</span>, offers double the storage at the same price! This is a bad look for Google and we hope to see some price cuts to reflect this new reality, otherwise the phone is just not competitive on price.</p>
  915. <p><h2><span id="software" class="anchor">Pixel 10 Software</span></h2>
  916. </p>
  917. <div><!-- ImageTagInstance gallery-90b387b7-16b8-4172-a894-0b39ab304da7 --></p>
  918. <p>We have mixed feelings about <!-- HTMLTagInstance html-tag-18dee4c7-9fd7-4bde-a72d-2c020a3088ab -->Android 16 on the <span>Pixel 10</span>.</p>
  919. </div>
  920. <p>On one hand, we like the new look with the quirky visuals and helpful new animations. Google has added some polish to the experience, and there we say, some personality even.</p>
  921. <p>But at the same time, you open the camera or photos app and you are greeted with stutter and skipped frames, which is frustrating coming from a Galaxy or an iPhone.</p>
  922. <p>When it comes to the new AI features, we found them to be hit and miss.</p>
  923. <p>The most advertized feature <span style="font-weight: bold;">Magic Cue</span> is supposed to look into your Gmail, Calendar, Keep Notes, Messages and G Board, and pop-up relevant suggestions during certain interactions. Calling a friend about an upcoming trip? Boom, Magic Cue should recognize that and pop up that trip detail on your call screen. In reality, this rarely worked for us. But also, we just don&#8217;t use half of those services like Google Keep or Google Messages. In fact, very few of my friends use those. That&#8217;s the problem with AI, it needs to know a lot about you and when you don&#8217;t give it that data, it&#8217;s just not very useful.</p>
  924. <p>The one new feature that impressed us the most has got to be <span style="font-weight: bold;">Voice Translate</span> during calls. For some reason, it&#8217;s not enabled by default and you have to manually turn it on and wait for a long update until it&#8217;s ready. But once you have it set up, it can feel absolutely magical. Conversing with my colleague who speaks Spanish worked quite well. Voice Translate would start translating what I&#8217;m saying mid-sentence, so it waits a bit to get the context first. What&#8217;s more impressivce is that it does all of that in my natural voice, even my broken Rs got translated into Spanish. It was a bit eerie, but also very, very cool.</p>
  925. <p>Some other features like <span style="font-weight: bold;">Camera Coach</span> I found to be gimmicky. The advice you get from the camera is quite trivial (get the person in frame, move so that distracting object is out of the frame, etc) and while I was excited to try out that feature when I first saw it, I doubt I would ever be using it.</p>
  926. <p>The other thing about Google software is well, at least the company won&#8217;t leave you behind. The <span>Pixel 10</span> will get seven years of OS updates, on par with Samsung, and far ahead of what you get from other <span>Android phone</span> makers.</p>
  927. <p>Don&#8217;t forget that Google will also push those updates very fast to the Pixel, while on Samsung phones you need to wait for months until a One UI based off the latest Android release arrives.</p>
  928. <div>
  929. <h2><span id="battery" class="anchor">Pixel 10 Battery &amp; Charging</span></h2>

  932. <div><!-- BatteryBenchmarkWidgetTagInstance battery-benchmark-widget-73fc4f85-e8fb-4ad1-b5b2-2dc9bca48394 --></p>
  933. <p>With a nearly 5,000 mAh battery, the <span>Pixel 10</span> has the capacity of a large phone in a compact phone body.</p>
  934. </div>
  935. <p>We love that.</p>
  936. <div>
  937. <h3>PhoneArena Battery Test Results:</h3>
  938. </div>
  939. <p>On our in-house battery tests, we got 21 hours on our lightest web browsing test where we run a script until the battery is completely drained. That beats the 17 and a half hours the <span>Pixel 9</span> got on the same test. The <span>Pixel 10</span> also scored 10 hours of non-stop video streaming, a very good score, far above the 8 hours and a half on the previous model.</p>
  940. <p>However, all three new <span>Pixel 10</span> models struggled with some gaming workloads (which we did not expect). The <span>Pixel 10</span> only got five hours on our gaming test, clearly overheating, while the previous model scored double that.</p>
  941. <p>On the charging front, you have 30-watt wired charging, a reasonable speed, even if not the fastest.</p>
  942. <div>However, the big news is all about Qi 2 support and magnetic wireless charging.</p>

  948. <p>    </a></div>
  949. <p>Why did it take Google so long to add Qi 2? We don&#8217;t know, just like we have no clue why Samsung still does not support magnetic wireless charging on its flagships.</p>
  950. </div>
  951. <p>Whatever the case, Qi 2 is now branded as Pixelsnap on these phones and it&#8217;s awesome. Snapping your charger to your phone is so much easier now and you ensure you get a proper placement of the charger for optimal speeds every time. In case you missed it, Qi 2 is also MagSafe compatible, so you can easily charge at your friend&#8217;s home (if they have MagSafe).</p>
  952. <div>
  953. <h2><span id="audio" class="anchor">Pixel 10 Audio Quality and Haptics</span></h2>
  954. </div>
  955. <p>With stereo speakers on board, the <span>Pixel 10</span> sounds quite good, but at the same time, it&#8217;s also not exceeding any expectations. It&#8217;s just a decent phone speaker that gets loud enough and gets the job done.</p>
  956. <p>The sound quality is very comparable to that of the Pro model, so you are not missing out there.</p>
  957. <p>There is no 3.5mm headphone jack, of course, but one thing that is very nice is haptics on this phone, tight and precise.</p>

  967. <p>The <span>Pixel 10</span> feels like the biggest upgrade this year simply because it gets that 5X telephoto camera that makes your zoomed photos so much better.</p>
  968. <p>It also has Qi 2 now (just like the Pro phones). Unless you really care about the Pro camera features, it seems like the base <span>Pixel 10</span> is the most sensible purchase this year.</p>
  969. <div>In the context of other <!-- HTMLTagInstance html-tag-56973908-bebe-489a-8a25-06b380d266f6 -->Android phones, the <span>Pixel 10</span> has more advanced AI and a cleaner interface that we still feel are advantages. But again, there is a caveat to that. Some of the new AI features like Magic Cue seem very over-rated and we found practically no use in having them. Maybe those features will improve as you use your device for months and it gets to know you better, or maybe not.</div>
  970. <p>Finally, we have to also mention the A word. Yes, Apple. This year, the <span>Pixel 10</span> does <span style="font-weight: bold;">not</span> look like great value considering that Apple&#8217;s <span>iPhone 17</span> now offers double the storage and arguably beats the Pixel, especially in areas like performance and video recording.</p>
  971. <p>If you can find a great deal, though, (and with Google you often can) we think the <span>Pixel 10</span> is absolutely a worthy purchase, offering that AI and zoom camera that you won&#8217;t find in Apple land.</p>

  1008. <div>The <!-- HTMLTagInstance html-tag-9f01a055-1a21-4c50-be6f-aa4158900461 -->Pixel 10 series builds upon the success of the previous generation, which got Google into the double-digit market share in the US. Unsurprisingly, expectations are quite high, especially on the Pro models.</p>
  1009. <p>At first glance, though, Google seems to have chosen to play it safe and opt for minor tweaks and polishes here and there, rather than offering groundbreaking upgrades. The <!-- HTMLTagInstance html-tag-0d1acf6e-e2fd-452a-ad46-7651c1491d5a -->Pixel 10 Pro looks and feels almost identical to its predecessor, but there are some important changes under the hood.</p>
  1010. <p>In the grand scheme of things, this model has to compete against the recently released <!-- HTMLTagInstance html-tag-aac4076d-5509-432a-93b4-3cb2dbb41cb8 -->iPhone 17 Pro and the compact <!-- HTMLTagInstance html-tag-b125414c-0b41-43e0-b846-4fac9d16f175 -->Galaxy S25, and thanks to the new brains it got, the <span>Pixel 10 Pro</span> might be a formidable opponent. There&#8217;s only one way to find out!</div>

  1059. <p>As you can see in the table above, specs-wise there aren&#8217;t huge differences between the new <span>Pixel 10 Pro</span> and its predecessor. Essentially, the chipset is different, the battery is slightly larger, and the screen is a tad brighter. But let&#8217;s explore in more detail.</p>

  1071. <div>To say that the <span>Pixel 10 Pro</span> is similar to its predecessor would be an understatement. The phone is almost identical to last year&#8217;s model, down to a fraction of a millimeter. The <span>Pixel 10 Pro</span> is a bit heavier (8 grams heavier to be precise), but in the hand you won&#8217;t feel that difference.</p>
  1072. <p>We have the same camera housing as last year, a variation of the Camera Bar Google introduced back with the <!-- HTMLTagInstance html-tag-02829a21-b672-4e17-b726-45e4694c76c1 -->Pixel 6 series. The phone has a flat front and back, flat sides, and curved corners, in line with modern smartphone design circa 2025.</p>

  1080. <p>We do love the design; there&#8217;s nothing wrong with it. We just wish Google had done something to visually differentiate the new generation from the previous one. Speaking of which, one such differentiator is the color scheme, to some extent.</p>
  1081. <div><!-- ImageTagInstance gallery-7c1dc4ee-b145-40be-9a03-2cfee47f8789 --></p>
  1082. <p>The <span>Pixel 10 Pro</span> introduces two new hues—Moonstone and Jade—to go alongside the usual Porcelain and Obsidian color options. And while the Moonstone color looks quite similar to last year&#8217;s Hazel (although a different shade of gray), Jade is new and fresh.</p>
  1083. </div>
  1084. <div>In terms of building blocks, the new <span>Pixel 10 Pro</span> follows the usual glass-and-metal formula. It uses aluminum for its frame and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on its front and back.</p>

  1092. <div>The <span>Pixel 10 Pro</span> comes equipped with a 6.3-inch OLED display with 1280 x 2856 pixels resolution. It&#8217;s an LTPO panel that can go up to 120 Hz, and it also has a peak brightness of 3,300 nits, according to the specs sheet.</p>
  1093. <p>We can argue it&#8217;s the exact same panel as the one used in the last generation Pixel Pro, but it actually doesn&#8217;t matter. The <!-- HTMLTagInstance html-tag-967f3c3a-3a28-497d-a77b-a50ab8a53d3c -->Pixel 9 Pro was one of the brightest phones we tested, and we had no complaints of the display quality whatsoever. For what it&#8217;s worth, Google has bumped up the brightness with 300 more nits on this year&#8217;s model.</p>
  1094. <h3>Display Measurements:</h3>
  1095. <p>Our display tests confirmed the update &#8211; the <span>Pixel 10 Pro</span> is one of the brightest phones we&#8217;ve ever tested with almost 3,000 nits at 20% APL, and even more impressive result when the whole screen is lit &#8211; 2159 nits. </p>
  1096. </div>
  1097. <div>The color accuracy is also great, better than what we had last year, and the minimum brightness is also up there (or should we saw down) with the competitors.</p>
  1098. <p>Overall, the display of the <span>Pixel 10 Pro</span> is amazing, fast and smooth, very bright, and also crisp &#8211; we have zero complaints here.</p>
  1099. <p>The <span>Pixel 10 Pro</span> has an ultrasonic fingerprint under its display, and it works just fine—fast and accurate. We have to see how it performs in the long run, but first impressions were quite positive.</p>

  1113. <div>The camera system used to be the last bastion of innovation when smartphone upgrades are concerned, but nothing lasts forever. The <span>Pixel 10 Pro</span> features the exact same camera hardware on its back as the previous model. </p>
  1114. <p>We have one 50MP main sensor under an f/1.7 lens, coupled with a 48MP ultrawide camera and another 48MP sensor on telephoto duties, offering 5x optical zoom in all its periscope beauty. There&#8217;s a 42MP selfie camera on the front, again the same one used on the <span>Pixel 9 Pro</span> last year.</p>
  1115. <p>The camera score is almost identical to the one we measured on the <span>Pixel 9 Pro</span>, so no surprises here. Most of the new features come in the form of AI tricks, and we managed to test the 100X AI-enhanced zoom, too.</div>
  1116. <div><!-- ImageTagInstance gallery-5c987492-cd15-4043-ab12-b87c6f7cfcac --></p>
  1117. <p>Photos look quite good, even though the lighting conditions were far from perfect. There&#8217;s enough detail and definition, and the dynamic range is also quite good. We found the color reproduction pretty accurate, with no super-saturated colors popping up in your face. </p>
  1118. <p>The zoom shots are also pretty decent; at 2X they are crops from the main sensor, while 5X uses the periscope telephoto. Everything above that magnification is digital, with or without the help of AI. Pro Res Zoom is a big talking point this year, and we managed to snap some 100x zoom samples with and without AI enhancement.</p>

  1121. <p>As you can see, it&#8217;s a night and day difference. There&#8217;s a deeper question here—<!-- HTMLTagInstance html-tag-31de281a-0b2f-48c9-a1aa-2bf3a71a8e92 -->When is a photo not a photo anymore, as the AI not only sharpens and smooths the existing image but also creates pixels from scratch, with zero information from the sensor and the reality it&#8217;s supposed to capture. But the results are pretty impressive, all things considered.</p>

  1143. <div>The biggest hardware change this year is the new Tensor G5 chip inside the <span>Pixel 10</span> family. Google shifted the manufacturing from Samsung Foundries to TSMC and also tweaked the architecture, moving away from the Exynos-based G4 (and its predecessors).</p>
  1144. <p>According to the press info, the expected CPU performance gains are around 34% compared to the Tensor G4, and the biggest upgrade comes from the new TPU unit, offering 60% more performance and allowing the on-device AI magic we saw during the launch presentation.</p>
  1145. </div>
  1146. <div></p>
  1147. <h3>CPU Performance Benchmarks:</h3>
  1148. </div>
  1149. <p></p>
  1150. <h3>GPU Performance</h3>
  1151. </p>
  1152. <div>Well, looking at the hard numbers above, it&#8217;s clear to see that the Tensor G5 still has some catching up to do, especially if we compare it to the top silicon from Qualcomm and Apple. That being said, the 34% CPU gains are absolutely there, and the <span>Pixel 10 Pro</span> is on par with the S24 and the <!-- HTMLTagInstance html-tag-42815f02-8c0f-4756-9270-67e324f0ea5d -->Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in raw performance, which is a definite step forward.</div>
  1153. <p>The 16GB of RAM on board will tackle every app and task available for years to come, and you can choose from 128GB of storage up to 1TB, so there are a lot of options on that front.</p>
  1154. <p><h2><span id="software" class="anchor">Pixel 10 Pro Software</span></h2>
  1155. </p>
  1156. <div>The <span>Pixel 10 Pro</span> comes running <!-- HTMLTagInstance html-tag-b3e5a76d-7958-4d78-be14-31df22764127 -->Android 16 out of the box with all the bells and whistles a Google phone has on board. Gemini Nano can now do much more on-device thanks to the Tensor G5 and its new TPU chip, and those features extend past smartphone photography.</div>
  1157. <div>Magic Cue will try to guess what you need before you do, like a little digital oracle. If you call an airline, for instance, it might automatically pull up your flight info. </p>
  1158. <p>Gemini Live is now able to carry on a more natural, back-and-forth conversation, and it can also see what&#8217;s on your screen or in front of your camera. It can make recipes from ingredients the phone sees and help you fix things. On paper, this sounds wonderful, but we have to test it in real life to give you an objective verdict.</p>
  1159. <p>Camera Coach is your digital photography assistant. The AI will look at your scene and suggest better angles or settings.</p>
  1160. <p>Ask Photos will let you edit photos by issuing voice commands. Instead of messing with sliders, you can just say, &#8220;Make the background brighter&#8221; or &#8220;fix the color balance.&#8221;</p>
  1161. <p>The <span>Pixel 10 Pro</span> comes with Google&#8217;s seven-year software update commitment, so it will theoretically last all the way to the year 2032.</p>

  1175. <p>Google has managed to upgrade the battery capacity of the <span>Pixel 10 Pro</span> while maintaining the same exact dimensions as its predecessor, which is impressive. We&#8217;re talking about a modest 170 mAh upgrade, but still, now the <span>Pixel 10 Pro</span> pushes the 5,000 mAh threshold with its 4,870 mAh cell, and this has translated into better battery life. </p>
  1176. <div>Our composite battery score puts the <span>Pixel 10 Pro</span> 53th among phones tested in the past 2 years, and while not amazing, this result is a definite improvement over the previous model.</p>
  1177. <h3>PhoneArena Battery Test Results:</h3>
  1178. <p></div>
  1179. <p>Looking at the benchmark results, the gains are plain to see, but there&#8217;s an anomaly in the gaming score, so we need to run it again to see what&#8217;s going on.</p>
  1180. <div>The other big news is the Qi2 wireless charging support. Qi2 is a standard for wireless power transfer (allowing up to 25W wireless in its 2.2 version), but it also has one additional benefit. Qi version 2.0 also comes with Magnetic Power Profile (MPP) based on Apple&#8217;s MagSafe for iPhone. </p>
  1181. <p>Being a widely adopted standard, this means that Pixel phones will benefit from a wide variety of third-party magnetic accessories, with a couple launching from Google itself. For now we have a PixelSnap charger and stand, but we can&#8217;t wait to see wallets, cases, and other attachments popping up on the market.</p>

  1192. <p>Always a difficult question this one. If you already own a Pixel phone, especially last year&#8217;s <span>Pixel 9 Pro</span>, there&#8217;s little to no reason to get the new <span>Pixel 10 Pro</span>. Yes, the Tensor G5 is faster, more efficient and can do some AI magic on-device, but we can bet our Christmas bonuses that most of these features will drip down older Pixels in the not-so-distant future.</p>
  1193. <p>If you&#8217;re looking to dip your toes into Google&#8217;s ecosystem of devices and you want to buy your first Pixel phone, the <span>Pixel 10 Pro</span> is one of the best options on the market. You can get the XL variant if you need more screen estate or opt for the Fold if foldables are your thing, but the <span>Pixel 10 Pro</span> sits in the right spot when it comes to features per dollar spent.</p>

  1232. <div>Apple’s September 2025 event brought a major shift into the company&#8217;s iPhone lineup. Instead of a Plus model, Apple unveiled the highly anticipated <!-- HTMLTagInstance html-tag-48e0cbee-110a-47a2-a215-5b0fa2a71f9a -->iPhone Air — the thinnest and lightest iPhone ever made.

  1233. <div>Both sit below the Pro models in the lineup, but they clearly target very different audiences. The <span>iPhone Air</span> is about design and portability above all else, aimed at those who want to try something new. The <span>iPhone 17</span> is the mainstream and safe option that balances features, performance, and battery life.</div>

  1308. <p>The <span>iPhone Air</span> is Apple’s slimmest and lightest iPhone ever, measuring just 5.6mm thick and weighing 156 grams. It uses a titanium frame with Ceramic Shield glass on both the front and back, which Apple says is its most durable combination yet.</p>
  1309. <p>Despite its ultra-thin body, though, the Air still manages to include the familiar Action Button for customizable shortcuts, and even the infamous Camera Control Button.</p>
  1310. <div>Apple has also designed a special low-profile MagSafe Battery Pack accessory just for the Air to extend its battery life further.</p>
  1311. <p>The <span>iPhone 17</span>, on the other hand, is more conventional, with a 7.95mm aluminum-and-glass build and a weight of 177 grams. Like the Air, it uses the new Ceramic Shield 2 on the front, which Apple claims is three times more scratch resistant than before, but on the back it sticks to reinforced glass rather instead.</p>

The chip includes a 6-core CPU, a 5-core GPU with upgraded architecture, and Neural Accelerators that deliver up to 3x the GPU performance compared to the last generation.</div>
  1390. <p>It will be interesting to see how the A19 Pro chip performs inside the much thinner chassis of the <span>iPhone Air</span>. The slim design could mean heavier thermal throttling, potentially dropping sustained performance to levels similar — or even lower — than the regular A19 under longer workloads.</p>
  1391. <p>Apple claims the A19 Pro enables MacBook-class performance in a phone, particularly for gaming and generative AI features. Alongside the A19 Pro, the Air also features Apple’s new N1 chip for wireless connectivity (Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, Thread) and the C1X cellular modem, which is 2x faster and 30% more efficient than its predecessor.</p>

  1440. <p>Apple had to make sacrifices to achieve the <span>iPhone Air</span>&#8216;s thin body, and probably the most dire one was limiting it to a single rear camera. It&#8217;s a 48 MP wide camera, seemingly the same as that on the <span>iPhone 17</span> and 17 Pro. It comes with four focal lengths (24mm, 28mm, 35mm, and a 2x telephoto crop). It also has Focus Control, letting users adjust portrait depth after shooting. Thankfully, it also supports 4K60 Dolby Vision video, Action Mode, Audio Mix, and wind noise reduction.</p>
  1441. <p>The <span>iPhone 17</span> provides more flexibility with a dual-camera system: the 48 MP wide and a new 48 MP ultrawide camera (supposedly the same one from the Pro models). This makes it more versatile, especially for landscapes, group shots indoors, and macro photography.</p>

  1481. <p>The <span>iPhone Air</span>, being just 5.6mm thin, naturally has a smaller battery. Apple hasn’t disclosed exact capacity, but the company claims it delivers “all-day battery life”, thanks to efficiency gains from the A19 Pro chip, internal design maximizing space, and Adaptive Power Mode.</p>
  1482. <p>However, the Air is not meant to compete with the rest of the lineup when it comes to battery life. So, to make up for it, Apple created a low-profile MagSafe Battery Pack exclusively for the Air. With this accessory, the phone can reach up to 40 hours of video playback — but the pack doesn’t work with other iPhones because of differences in thickness and camera layout.</p>
  1483. <p>The <span>iPhone 17</span> is rated for up to 30 hours of video playback (27 hours streamed), which is a massive improvement over its predecessor (22 hours/18 hours). It uses a stacked battery paired with (still) efficient A19 chip.</p>

  1563. <h2><span id="summary" class="anchor">Summary</span></h2>
  1564. <p>It&#8217;s clear that the <span>iPhone Air</span> is a design-first device. It&#8217;s main selling point is that it is stunningly thin and lightweight, but what makes it impressive is that it is both of those things but also durable and powerful. There are two main limiting factors: the single rear camera and the smaller battery. There&#8217;s also the fact that it costs $999, when you can get so much more from the base <span>iPhone 17</span> for $200 less.</p>
  1565. <p>The Air will be the iPhone for those who are tired of the regular phone form factor and want to try out something new. Samsung already came out with its version and beat Apple to the finish line, but the <span>iPhone Air</span> doesn&#8217;t sound too bad in comparison, and is quite the technological marvel too.</p>
  1566. <p>For most people, however, the <span>iPhone 17</span>, at $799, is the option with the best value (even when compared to the Pro models). It is the Apple&#8217;s best bang-for-your-buck phone in ages, so it will be easier to recommend.</p>
  1567. <p>It will be interesting to compare the chip performance between these two models. The Air might have the more powerful chip, but it could suffer from throttling because of that thin body. Stay tuned for tests and a more detailed comparison!</p>

  1604. <p>Large parts of Asia and the Middle East experienced slower internet speeds after several undersea cables in the Red Sea were cut, according to telecom providers and monitoring groups. The full cause of the disruption is still not clear, but the impact has been widespread, affecting millions of users in the region.</p>
  1605. <p>Submarine cables stretch in the ocean floor and carry the majority of the world’s internet traffic. While satellites and land-based fibre lines also play a role, the bulk of international data flows through these hidden links. They connect continents and make global communication possible, from video calls to cloud services.</p>
  1606. <p>When one cable fails, providers usually reroute traffic through other connections, but this can slow down internet service. The problem grows when several cables are damaged at once, leaving fewer routes available and making the internet feel sluggish for ordinary users.</p>
  1607. <h3>Service problems with Red Sea internet cables</h3>
  1608. <p>Microsoft said on its status website that internet traffic through the Middle East “may experience increased latency due to undersea fibre cuts in the Red Sea.” The company added that traffic outside the region was not affected, though it did not say what caused the damage.</p>
  1609. <p>NetBlocks, a group that monitors internet access worldwide, said the outages disrupted service in multiple countries. India and Pakistan were among those affected, with the group pointing to failures in two systems: the SEA-ME-WE 4 (SMW4) and the India-Middle East-Western Europe (IMEWE) cable – both run close to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.</p>
  1610. <p>Pakistan Telecommunication Company confirmed the cable cuts, warning customers that peak hours could bring noticeable slowdowns. In Kuwait, officials said the FALCON GCX cable had also been cut, creating problems for internet service there. In the United Arab Emirates, people using the state-owned Du and Etisalat networks complained about slower internet, though authorities did not publicly comment.</p>
  1611. <p>Tata Communications, part of India’s Tata Group, operates the SMW4 cable, while a consortium led by Alcatel Submarine Networks oversees the IMEWE line. Both firms were contacted for comment but did not respond. GCX, which runs the FALCON cable, also stayed silent. Saudi officials likewise did not acknowledge the disruption.</p>
  1612. <h3>How undersea cables disrupt internet service</h3>
  1613. <p>There are several ways undersea cables can be cut. Ships dropping anchors in busy waters are one common cause. Natural disasters like earthquakes have also damaged cables in the past. But the possibility of deliberate attacks cannot be ruled out, especially in politically tense regions where internet service is already vulnerable.</p>
  1614. <p>Repairing subsea cables is a slow and complex process. Specialised ships need to travel to the site, locate the damaged section, and haul it up from the seabed. Replacement or splicing can then take place before the line is lowered back into position. The process often takes weeks, leaving countries with little choice but to rely on slower backup routes and degraded internet service.</p>
  1615. <h3>Wider context</h3>
  1616. <p>The is not the first time the Red Sea has seen such cable incidents. In February 2024, several cables in the area were cut, disrupting internet connections between Asia and Europe. That incident came soon after Yemen’s internationally recognised government warned that the Houthi movement, backed by Iran, might try to sabotage cables or target ships in the Red Sea – the Houthis denied involvement.</p>
  1617. <p>Similar cases have also been recorded elsewhere. Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, cables and pipelines in the Baltic Sea have been damaged in what many governments suspect were deliberate acts. Earlier this year, Swedish authorities seized a ship thought to have cut a cable to Latvia, with prosecutors saying initial evidence suggested sabotage of communications services.</p>
  1618. <h3>What it means for users</h3>
  1619. <p>For people in the affected regions, the impact is mostly felt in slower internet service, longer loading times, and occasional dropouts. Cloud services like Microsoft Azure may run with delays, though companies can usually redirect traffic to minimise the damage.</p>
  1620. <p>The outages show how fragile the global internet can be despite its scale. A few cuts in key waters can ripple in countries, reminding governments and businesses how much depends on undersea cables to keep essential services running.</p>

  1661. <p>Well, it’s real — Apple went full Pixel on us. The <span>iPhone 17 Pro Max</span> rocks a big ol’ camera bar stretching side-to-side across the back. Yep, it’s giving visor vibes. Why? Good question. Could be the needs of the new C1X modem, could be because of the new vapor chamber cooling and its intended dissipation routes through the aluminum body. Cool, literally. But this shuffle also meant the internals had to be… well, shuffled.</p>
  1662. <p>Now, this design will probably split the crowd. Maybe not notch-levels of controversy, or even Dynamic Island-levels, but it’s definitely going to stir some Reddit threads. One upside, though? Your <span>iPhone 17 Pro Max</span> will finally lie on a table with no wobble.</p>
  1663. <div>
  1664. <p>Apple typically has four-five colors on its Pro models. For 2025, we got a surprise — three colors only! Well, at least one of them is somewhat vibrant and fun, that being the Cosmic Orange. Your other options are Deep Blue, and Silver. No black, not even Space Gray!</p>
  1665. <p><span>OnePlus 13</span> comes in Black Eclipse, Midnight Ocean, or Acrtic Dawn. What&#8217;s fun about OnePlus is that you are not picking color — you are also literally picking your finish, as some colors have a matte glass back, others — faux leather.</p>
  1666. <p><h2><span id="display" class="anchor">Display Differences</span></h2>
  1667. </p>
  1668. <p>The <span>iPhone 17 Pro Max has a</span> 6.9-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display with dynamic 1-120 Hz ProMotion, just as before. The <span>OnePlus 13</span> rivals that with its own 6.8-inch AMOLED panel with 120 Hz. </p>
  1669. <p>But hey, Apple also has a new 7-layer anti-reflection concoction applied on the screen, which has my ears perked. Technically, it should my eyes — I can&#8217;t wait to see how effective it is. Other than that, the display is cited as hitting 3,000 nits peak brightness, which is nothing to snark at.</p>
  1670. <p>The <span>OnePlus 13</span> does have the impressive-sounding 4,500 nit peak brightness, but that&#8217;s a momentary measurement for a small section of the screen. It won&#8217;t be much brighter, in general, than the iPhone (as it&#8217;s not much brighter than the <span>iPhone 16 Pro Max</span>).</p>

  1695. <p>The hated Dynamic Island is not changed on the iPhone. It&#8217;s still there, standing proud in its pill shape, housing the Face ID sensors and selfie camera.</p>
  1696. <p>The <span>OnePlus 13</span>, of course, has the small punch-hole for the selfie camera on the front. A modern eyesore that we&#8217;ve all gotten used to by now (and, to be fair, is among the few identifiers a smartphone model has on the front). For biometrics, it uses an under-screen fingerprint sensor.</p>

  1698. <h2><span id="performance" class="anchor">Performance and Software</span></h2>
  1699. <h5>Pro versus Elite, and a bold new iOS redesign</h5>
  1700. <p>Apple has new A19 Pro chips for the new <span>iPhone 17</span> Pro and Pro Max. Built on a 3 nm process, it&#8217;ll be faster than last year&#8217;s model and — hopefully — heat up slower thanks to a new vapor cooling chamber backing it up. It may finally achieve the gamer device status that Apple has been chasing for the past couple of years.</p>
  1701. <div>Same goes for the 3 nm Snapdragon 8 Elite inside the <span>OnePlus 13</span> — it rivals Apple&#8217;s silicon and, depending on manufacturer and implementation, can even get sustained results. While the <span>OnePlus 13</span> isn&#8217;t a <!-- HTMLTagInstance html-tag-aea5b7fe-b9cf-4e21-930d-383c8d595c3a -->gaming phone or anything, it had some pretty impressive thermal management, managing to keep benchmark scores high for longer.</div>

  1729. <p></div>
  1730. <div>It looks like the <span>iPhone 17 Pro Max</span> might finally break the 12 GB RAM barrier — and honestly, it makes sense. Apple has traditionally been conservative with RAM, relying instead on tight hardware-software integration. But the game is changing. With AI features slowly becoming a staple and <!-- HTMLTagInstance html-tag-748f537f-33d7-4f66-8695-86fdfa290620 -->Apple Intelligence pushing more on-device processing, the need for more memory is no longer optional—it’s necessary. While Apple doesn&#8217;t talk about RAM specifically, speculation about 12 GB at least on the Pro models is rampant. And that makes sense, especially considering that iPhones are meant to live and run new features for at least 5 years post release.</div>
  1731. <p>The <span>OnePlus 13</span> already comes with 12 GB RAM at its base 256 GB storage tier, but goes up to 16 GB RAM on the 512 GB model. The <span>iPhone 17 Pro Max</span> starts at 256 GB as before, but now tops out at 2 TB storage for the first time ever. If you have the cash!</p>
  1732. <div>The <span>iPhone 17 Pro Max</span> will ship with <span>iOS 26</span>, and the new Liquid Glass aesthetic brings subtle transparency, layering, and animation across the entire OS. If you opt for the new “Clear Look” mode, it becomes even more pronounced — a full-on glassy interface makeover.</p>
  1733. <p>There’s more than just eye candy, though. The Music app has been revamped with animated album art. Notifications can now interact with a dynamic wallpaper that shifts with the time of day. The lock screen also gets a fresh animated feel.</p>
  1734. <p>Elsewhere, the Camera app has been simplified — you only see the essentials up front, and swipe to access everything else. And there are new functional tools in Phone and Messages, like Call Screening, Spam Message Filtering, and Live Translate — a long-awaited Apple answer to Android’s real-time call interpretation.</p>
  1735. <p>You also get small quality-of-life refinements: smarter rerouting in Maps, decluttered Photos layout, and, finally, typing indicators and chat backgrounds in Messages.</p>
  1736. <p>Both the <span>iPhone 17 Pro Max</span> and <span>OnePlus 13</span> have AI features baked in, but Apple’s long-term vision for <span>Apple Intelligence</span> isn’t fully rolling out until 2026. That said, the A19 Pro and supposed 12 GB of RAM are being positioned to power those features down the road. In contrast, OnePlus leans more on Google’s Gemini integration, offering a lighter AI layer on top of <!-- HTMLTagInstance html-tag-36988cd0-43ef-4c72-ab77-96e6f531a60e -->Android 15.</p>
  1737. <p>The <span>OnePlus 13</span> is promised four years of Android updates and six years of security patches. Apple, as usual, should support the <span>iPhone 17 Pro Max</span> for five to six years. We are open to being surprised, though?</p>
  1738. </div>
  1739. <h2><span id="camera" class="anchor">Camera</span></h2>
  1740. <h5>Cheaper doesn&#8217;t mean worse</h5>
  1741. <div>Apple throws everything at the camera, and it does show — iPhones are very consistent and dependable with photos, easily the best for recording video. The <span>OnePlus 13</span> costs about $300 less than the current <!-- HTMLTagInstance html-tag-940f6315-f2df-4c79-aaa0-9c4cba420919 -->iPhone 16 Pro Max, so it will definitely be more affordable than the 17 Pro Max. But that doesn&#8217;t mean its cameras are $300 worse — OnePlus has been putting a lot of muscle (and a Hasselblad partnership) behind that, too!</div>

  1775. <p>On the back, the <span>iPhone 17</span> Pro packs not one, not two, but three 48 MP Fusion cameras. “Fusion,” in Apple-speak, basically means sensor crop sorcery. The idea is simple — Apple slices into those big sensors just enough to mimic “lossless” zoom and pretend it’s swapping between different lenses. The result? You can shoot at up to 8x and still get crisp 12 MP shots that feel “optical.” Beyond that, you’re in digital territory — now boosted to a max of 40x. Impressive leap from last year’s 25x, sure… but nowhere near the competition&#8217;s 100x or even 120x (where OnePlus13 is at).</p>
  1776. <div>The front camera also gets a glow-up. All <span>iPhone 17</span> models now sport a 24 MP selfie shooter. But — plot twist — you never actually use all 24 megapixels. Why? Because the sensor is an oddball, almost square in shape, not your regular 4:3 rectangle. Apple crops into it cleverly to give you a familiar wide selfie look while also sneaking in extra stabilization for FaceTime calls and TikTok runs. And, of course, if you leave Center Stage on, the iPhone will do its “AI director” thing — zooming in when it’s just you, zooming out when friends crash the frame. It’s the most Apple way to say, “Don’t worry, we’ll handle the framing for you.”</div>
  1777. <div>The <span>OnePlus 13</span> feels really nice with its triple cameras, offering a lot of versatility and pretty good quality. It got 145 overall points on <!-- HTMLTagInstance html-tag-86885b48-7612-4b73-b2b3-9b50db381323 -->our camera benchmark test, which is only 9 points below the <span>iPhone 16 Pro Max</span>. So, unless the iPhone 7 Pro Max makes some major leaps — the <span>OnePlus 13</span> is still in the game!</div>
  1778. <h2><span id="battery" class="anchor">Battery Life and Charging</span></h2>
  1779. <h5>To 5,000, then beyond</h5>
  1780. <p>Apple&#8217;s iPhones don&#8217;t bet a lot on huge batteries — they achieve endurance with hardware and software optimizations. That said, the Pro Max units have felt the pressure from the other top-tier competitors, and every year inch closer and closer to that 5,000 mAh cell, which is now standard in Android line. The <span>iPhone 17 Pro Max</span> is said to have between 4,700 and 5,000 mAh, but we don&#8217;t ahve the specific numbers right now. What Apple does say is &#8220;39 hours of video playback&#8221;, which is 6 hours more than what the <span>iPhone 16 Pro Max</span> was cited to have. So, take that for what it is.</p>
  1781. <p>Meanwhile, OnePlus has already passed that threshold comfortably, offering a pretty enduring <span>OnePlus 13</span> with its 6,000 mAh cell that also charges quite feast with the proprietary 100 W charger.</p>

  1861. <p>The <span>iPhone 17 Pro Max</span> looks like a pretty solid upgrade. Apple put a lot of emphasis on the new hardware cooling, the camera upgrades, the battery. It all sounds like a solid improvement on a working formula, even if we don&#8217;t get crazy new features. And yeah, any AI speak was kept to a minimum. So, we are a bit in the dark about what Apple is cooking, but the <span>iPhone 17 Pro Max</span> looks like it has been built with the intention to handle some pretty serious features down the road, doesn&#8217;t it? In any case, always buy a product for what it is right now. And, right now, the <span>iPhone 17 Pro Max</span> looks like that solid, dependable workhorse that we are used to getting.</p>
  1862. </div>
  1863. <p>That said, the <span>OnePlus 13</span> is also not a risky purchase. The company has now been around for quite a while, it has had its peaks, it has had its valleys. The <span>OnePlus 13</span> is a well-polished product, which wouldn&#8217;t let you down and we never have a problem recommending it to anyone looking for a flagship below that $1k mark.</p>

  1899. <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://ee.co.uk/">EE</a> believes Advanced RAN Coordination (ARC) will put an end to slow 5G speeds due to digital gridlock, and it’s a world-first solution.</p>
  1900. <p>When one mobile mast gets overwhelmed with users, ARC allows it to intelligently borrow spare capacity from other, less busy masts nearby. This sharing happens in real-time, rerouting data flow to where it’s needed most and ensuring a smoother, faster experience for everyone, without the need to build any new towers.</p>
  1901. <p>After a successful trial in Bristol, the system went live in Manchester and Edinburgh, just in time for the city’s world-renowned Fringe and International Festivals. For anyone trying to upload a video, message a friend, or simply browse the web among the festival crowds, the upgrade meant a more reliable connection where it would likely have previously failed.</p>
  1902. <p>EE reports that in these active zones, users are seeing download speeds that are, on average, 20 percent faster, with performance more than doubling in ideal conditions. The technology has also been deployed to support commuters at Edinburgh’s Waverley Station, aiming to make slow 5G speeds causing dropped video calls and buffering streams a thing of the past for EE customers waiting on the platform.</p>
  1903. <p>Instead of disruptive and costly hardware installations, the upgrade is primarily software-driven, activated by a small optical device plugged into the existing network equipment. This is all underpinned by BT Group’s fibre optic network, which connects the masts with such low latency (a delay of less than half a millisecond) that they can coordinate with each other almost instantly.</p>
  1904. <p>Greg McCall, Chief Networks Officer at BT Group, said: “EE customers are the first in the world to benefit from this technology, with millions of them getting a huge boost to the 5G connectivity they rely on every day. By increasing capacity in this way, our customers will get faster speeds and an even more reliable experience instantly.”</p>
  1905. <p>Over the next year, people in London, Leeds, Glasgow, Liverpool, Belfast, Cardiff, Newcastle, Sheffield, and Sunderland can expect to see these improvements as the rollout continues.</p>
  1906. <p>This smarter network approach arrives as EE also pushes ahead with expanding its 5G Standalone (5GSA) network, which is the key to ending slow speeds and maximising the potential of the latest smartphones from Apple, Samsung, and Google.</p>
  1907. <p>The company plans to bring its 5GSA network to a further 17 towns and cities by the end of 2025 – including places like Brighton, Bolton, Oxford, and Portsmouth – with the goal of covering over 41 million people by spring 2026.</p>
  1908. <p>Luca Orsini, Head of Ericsson North Europe, commented: “Our collaboration with EE on this world-first deployment is a standout example of how innovative software solutions can make a real difference for network performance.</p>
  1909. <p>“By enabling more efficient use of existing spectrum and infrastructure, we’re helping EE deliver enhanced connectivity to their customers while setting a new benchmark for network optimisation in the industry.”</p>

  1953. <p>Samsung has just dropped its next generation of premium tablets. The Galaxy Tab S11 line is here. Though calling it a &#8220;line&#8221; is a bit odd — it&#8217;s two tablets — the 11&#8243; Galaxy Tab S11 and the gargantuan 14.6&#8243; Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra.</p>
  1954. <p>They generally have the same hardware and are positioned to rival the iPad Pro models — those too come in two sizes, being 11&#8243; and 13&#8243;.</p>
  1955. <p>So, you&#8217;re out to get yourself a big, mean tablet that has hardware power and software features to accommodate a wide variety of needs — gaming, productivity, multimedia binging, note-taking, being pretty. How does the new Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra compare to the established iPad Pro M4 13&#8243;?</p>

  2136. <p>Both of these tablets rock cream-of-the-crop hardware, though they will have some very evident differences in user experience. Samsung does provide a wider screen, which lends itself better for video, where the 13-inch iPad Pro chooses to be taller. A 4:3 aspect ratio is pretty awkward in 2025 for multimedia consumption, but we&#8217;ve found that it works great for mobile apps, which do make use of that vertical space for more toolbars.</p>
  2137. <p>Other differences include the camera choices — Apple figured that users don&#8217;t need ultra-wide cameras on tablets and just omitted them. Samsung still provides somewhat of a set. What&#8217;s unique about the iPad Pro is the Time of Flight camera, which helps make AR apps and utilities more accurate. Though, these haven&#8217;t really become as popular as manufacturers once thought they would.</p>

  2150. </div>
  2151. <div>Over the past couple of generations, these premium tablets have really become quite thin. The Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra here is only 5.08 mm thick, the iPad Pro 13&#8243; is 5.1 mm. This feels great when trying to handle these otherwise huge tablets, but also means that once you stick them in a keyboard case, they won&#8217;t become super-bulky. Of course, it also raises concerns about durability. While we haven&#8217;t had the iPad Pro or the old <!-- HTMLTagInstance html-tag-9be8afa3-5eda-49a1-b708-56d6ffdd2455 -->Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra bend on us just yet, we are mindful of how we stick them inside backpacks and bags, of course.</div>
  2152. <p>What we have here is industrial design on full display, both tablets rocking matte aluminum bodies and feeling cool to the touch. Samsung has even reduced the funny notch with the two selfie cameras&#8230; it&#8217;s now one selfie camera!</p>
  2153. <p>Of course, that&#8217;s all because the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra has a very thin bezel. This may be a bit of a problem if you intend to carry the tablet around, screen on, tapping away at your emails and messages. Your thumb doesn&#8217;t have a lot of room to rest and hold the slate. Then again, it&#8217;s a 14.6&#8243; tablet, so it&#8217;s reasonable to assume that you will be using it stationary more often than not.</p>
  2154. <p>The iPad Pro M4 13&#8243; is also pretty huge, but has a bit more bezel around the screen to grab on to, and doesn&#8217;t need a notch for its FaceID sensors — the camera and IR blaster are all embedded in the frame seamlessly. And yes, both the Galaxy and iPad here have their selfie cameras on the &#8220;landscape&#8221; frame, just like a laptop, because it makes sense.</p>
  2155. <p>Here&#8217;s something interesting — the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra has IP68 ingress protection rating. So, take it by the pool and enjoy working while getting some tan. The iPad Pro M4 has no ingress protection rating, handle with care.</p>
  2156. <p>If you are into fun colors, you are probably not a professional — or so think Samsung and Apple, as both the Tab S11 Ultra and iPad Pro M4 are only available in black and silver. </p>
  2157. <p>Both tablets here have OLED panels. Apple dropped the whole Mini LED experiment quite quickly, after the iPad Pro (2022). Now, both iPad Pro M4 sizes have Tandem OLED — a dual-layered OLED panel that has been designed this way to increase brightness output with more energy efficiency and supposedly improve longevity.</p>
  2158. <p>The Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra has Samsung&#8217;s excellent Dynamic OLED x2 panel, which is super-bright and vibrant. It also has the next-level anti-glare coating that Samsung has been using for a while now — it helps with image further by reducing distractions and making the screen pop. The iPad Pro M4 does have anti-glare coating, too, but it&#8217;s not as effective as Samsung&#8217;s.</p>
  2159. <p>Stay tuned for display measurements once we get a Tab S11 Ultra in our labs1</p>
  2160. <p>For biometrics, Apple has the Face ID — it&#8217;s fast, secure, and works in any orientation. It&#8217;s grown up quite a bit and is very convenient nowadays. Samsung utilizes an under-screen fingerprint scanner for its security, but you can set up a selfie camera unlock as well.</p>
  2161. <h2><span id="keyboard" class="anchor">Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra vs iPad Pro M4 13&#8243; Keyboard and Stylus</span></h2>
  2162. <p>Samsung does ship the Galaxy Tab S series with an S Pen in the box, which is a huge win. The S Pen is an excellent stylus when it comes to accuracy, feel, and features. It predates the Apple Pencil by quite a bit and Samsung has fine-tuned it over the years to a point where we can&#8217;t imagine an upgrade that&#8217;s needed.</p>
  2163. <p>That said, the Apple Pencil is very, very good in its own right — especially the Pro variant — though, it&#8217;s an added purchase on top of the pricey iPad Pro M4. Also, it takes some time to get used to as its plastic tip easily slides over the glass display panel of an iPad. You either re-teach your muscle memory here or you go for a matte screen protector, which has its own downsides.</p>
  2164. <p>The Magic Keyboard for the iPad Pros, on the other hand, is hands down the best-feeling keyboard for tablets out there. The touchpad is great, key travel and feel is great, it&#8217;s all on point. It had better be, for the price. The Samsung Book Cover Keyboard folio is not as good — Android doesn&#8217;t work as smooth with the touchpad as iPadOS does. And the keys feel mushy.</p>

  2177. <p>The new Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra comes with a MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ 3nm processor. Not bad, the Dimensity 9000 series are the flagship line of MediaTek and they&#8217;ve proven that they can compete with the big boys. But mobile processors are one thing — the M4 SoC inside the iPad Pro is literally also used to power desktop and laptop Macs, so how does the performance compare?</p>
  2178. <p>Well, we managed to sneak a benchmark, so here are the initial results we got:</p>
  2179. <div></p>
  2180. <h3>CPU Performance Benchmarks:</h3>
  2181. <p>The M4 is flexing quite hard here, giving the iPad Pro a good 50% power bump over the Galaxy Tab here. We are not worried, as the operating systems on offer here definitely do not fill out these processors entirely. But bragging rights are strictly in the iPad&#8217;s bag.</p>
  2182. </div>
  2183. <p><h3>GPU Performance</h3>
  2184. </p>
  2185. <p>On the GPU front, things appear a bit more equal, with the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra not lagging behind as much. Still, it does throttle quite a bit after a few loops, which is a letdown considering how much Samsung puts into vapor chamber cooling — this year&#8217;s model has a 10% larger chamber, too.</p>
  2186. <div>Again, the scores are nothing to snark, even post-throttling. But the iPad gets the prize once again. We&#8217;ll be playing some games on the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra when it comes in and we&#8217;ll have some more to share, other than raw benchmarks.</div>
  2187. <p>For storage, the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra comes with 256 GB, 512 GB, or 1 TB — that&#8217;s quite plenty in its own right. The iPad Pro pushes things to 2 TB and asks top money for it. The lowest tier Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra comes with 12 GB RAM, which is upgraded to 16 GB for the other two models. The iPad Pro also has different RAM amounts — 8 GB for the first two tiers and 16 GB for the 1 TB and 2 TB variants.</p>
  2188. <p><h2><span id="software" class="anchor">Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra vs iPad Pro M4 13&#8243; Software</span></h2>
  2189. </p>
  2190. <div>Samsung launches the Tab S11 Ultra with OneUI 8 and <!-- HTMLTagInstance html-tag-5be14f35-c8ef-41d9-aaec-fc35a2343e31 -->Android 16. Gemini and <!-- HTMLTagInstance html-tag-7ad22eb6-1fab-4483-a01d-4f7d5c88b3c2 -->Galaxy AI are weaved in for your AI needs from searching to Drawing Assist, which will straighten up those lines and make those sketches look presentable. You also now have an Extended Mode where the tablet can work as a second monitor for your connected laptop. This is the answer to a feature that Apple has — Sidecar for iPads connected to Macs. </div>
  2191. <p>OneUI on Galaxy tablets can very much transform into its own desktop working environment — DeX can run on Samsung tablets autonomously, you don&#8217;t need an external monitor. Conversely, the iPad Pros have Stage Manager, which is Apple&#8217;s take on desktop-like (emphasis on &#8220;like&#8221;) multi-tasking. In any case, both systems are slowly but surely adding features that can kind of, sort of make them laptop replacements, depending on your needs and work style.</p>
  2192. <p>It will come down to app ecosystems, of course. The App Store has had the reputation of housing the more pro-level apps for years now, though that gap has been steadily shrinking in recent times.</p>
  2193. <p>Of course, Samsung promises 7 years of updates — the new standard. Apple doesn&#8217;t commit to an official period of software support, but history teaches us that it updates its devices for at least 5 years after release.</p>
  2194. <div>
  2195. <p><h2><span id="battery" class="anchor" style="background-size: 16px 16px;">Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra vs iPad Pro M4 13&#8243; Battery and Charging</span></h2>
  2196. </p>
  2197. </div>
  2198. <p>The Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra comes with an 11,600 mAh battery and that&#8217;s up against a 10,290 cell inside the iPad Pro M4 13&#8243;. So, about the same batteries, though iPadOS is known to be a bit more energy-efficient. Then again, that M4 is a power hog, so it really comes down to what exactly you&#8217;d be doing on the tablets.</p>
  2199. <p>We will share numbers as we get to run the Tab S11 Ultra through our battery benchmark gauntlet.</p>
  2200. <p>For charging, the Galaxy powers up with a 45 W brick, the iPad — with an 18 W one.</p>

  2210. <p>As previously mentioned, Apple gave up on making the iPads into multi-camera systems — you have the 12 MP wide camera on the back and the 12 MP ultra-wide selfie camera on the front. That&#8217;s pretty much it — everything you&#8217;d need for video calls and to scan documents with. The front camera has an ultra-wide lens, but the software has the &#8220;Center Stage&#8221; feature, where it will automatically zoom in on you and move the crop around to follow your face. As if you have your own camera operator following you.</p>
  2211. <div>Samsung has also cut down a bit — but just a bit. The rear module still has a wide and ultra-wide camera (13 MP and 8 MP), but at least the front now only has the one 12 MP snapper. It used to be that Galaxy Tab Ultra models had two selfie cameras — one with a wide and one with an ultra-wide lens. We are now only getting the one ultra-wide lens, thankfully. Samsung also has a feature like Center Stage — it&#8217;s called Auto Framing.</p>
  2212. <p> </p>
  2213. <h2><span id="which" class="anchor">Which one should you buy?</span></h2>
  2214. </p>
  2215. <p>If your only goal is to get a fast tablet that enables you to sketch and draw on it, it&#8217;s hard to argue against the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra. It comes with the S Pen in the box, a large canvas, and some Samsung apps to get you started — everything is included in the price tag. However, a lot of professionals prefer the iPad Pro for the 3rd party apps available in the App Store, so it&#8217;s probably a good idea to first research exactly what you are going to need and if each ecosystem has it.</p>
  2216. <p>That said, the iPad Pro 13&#8243; is also arguably the better drawing canvas with its 4:3 aspect ratio, whereas 16:10 is a bit more cinematic with less vertical space on the Galaxy Tab.</p>
  2217. <p>For hardware power — we are not worried with either tablet, but it&#8217;s hard to deny that the Apple M4 chip has a lot more power on tap.</p>
  2218. <p>For laptop-like work, both tablets offer some form of multi-window multi-tasking modes. The Magic Keyboard is hands-down the better accessory. However, if you would rather get a 3rd party mouse and keyboard, that are not exorbitantly expensive — historically, we&#8217;ve found that non-Apple accessories don&#8217;t work that smoothly and flawlessly on iPads.</p>
  2219. <p>Hang tight as we put the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra through our ringer of tests.</p>

  2256. <div style="text-align:justify;">
  2257. <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.spacex.com/">SpaceX</a> has acquired spectrum from <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.echostar.com/">Echostar</a> that will be the key to unlocking the next generation of Starlink’s Direct to Cell mobile service.</p>
  2258. <p>You’re driving through the countryside, the signal bars on your phone dwindle one by one, and then… nothing. The map stops loading, the podcast cuts out, and that important call gets dropped. It’s a frustration we’ve come to accept, but SpaceX aims to fix it.</p>
  2259. <p>Since launching the first test satellites for Direct to Cell in January 2024, the Starlink team went from sending the first text messages from space to standard mobile phones within days, to demonstrating video calls just a few months later. Today, a network of over 600 satellites is already operational across five continents, serving more than six million people and making it, almost overnight, the planet’s largest mobile coverage provider.</p>
  2260. <p>The magic happens with satellites that are essentially flying mobile phone masts, orbiting 360 kilometres up. This relatively low altitude ensures a strong enough signal can reach the phone in your pocket without needing a special dish or new hardware. It simply works with the phone you already own. These satellites talk to each other with lasers, forming a mesh network in the sky that ensures you can get a signal virtually anywhere on Earth with a clear view of the sky.</p>
  2261. <p>But this technology is proving to be a lifeline. While Starlink’s partnerships with major mobile networks like T-Mobile, Rogers, Telstra, and even Kyivstar in Ukraine are bringing millions into the fold, its true impact is felt when all other connections are lost.</p>
  2262. <p>The system’s power was demonstrated in New Zealand. After stumbling upon a car crash in an area with no mobile reception, a woman was able to use the satellite link to text for help, guiding first responders to the exact location within minutes. During natural disasters in the US, over 1.5 million people have relied on the service to communicate when floods, fires, or hurricanes have knocked out ground-based infrastructure.</p>
  2263. <p>That was the first generation. Now, Starlink’s Direct to Cell mobile service is about to get even better.</p>
  2264. <p>Spectrum is essentially the invisible motorways of the airwaves. The more lanes you own, and the wider they are, the more traffic you can handle at higher speeds. With the EchoStar deal, SpaceX just bought itself a massive, private, multi-lane motorway for its satellite-to-phone service.</p>
  2265. <p>If the first-generation network was the proof of concept, this is when SpaceX hits the accelerator. The new satellites designed to use this spectrum will be vastly more capable. We’re told to expect a 20-fold increase in data handling per satellite, leading to an overall system capacity boost of more than 100 times what’s possible today.</p>
  2266. <p>What that means for you and me is a jump from a basic connection to a full 5G experience. By combining this new spectrum with its custom-built technology and the launch capacity of its Starship rocket, SpaceX aims to make it so your location no longer dictates your ability to connect.</p>
  2267. <p>Starlink’s plan with its Direct to Cell mobile service is to weave a digital safety net around the entire globe, so whether you’re a hiker in trouble, a family caught in a storm, or just someone trying to navigate a remote country road, you are never truly out of reach.</p>
