The Google Pixel 11 Pro and the Apple iPhone 17 Pro are two very different smartphones positioned similarly at the top of their respective lineups. They are meant for power users who want the best on offer but don't necessarily require a big 6.9-inch display. Both phones have flagship chipsets, 6.3-inch AMOLED screens, versatile cameras, and multiple AI-powered features. So, which one should you get?

I haven't had a chance to compare their camera performance yet, but here's how the latest Google phone stacks up against its Apple rival and which one could be better for you.
The Pixel 11 Pro naturally offers a better Gemini experience than the iPhone. Google says it has co-designed the Tensor G6 chip's silicon architecture alongside the latest AI models from Google DeepMind to deliver better quality and lower latency. While the company is again aiming to "offload everyday, routine tasks" by letting you order groceries or book rides through Gemini, it has also introduced a way for the smart assistant to dial businesses to "complete tasks for you." While Gemini communicates, you'll get a live transcript view and the ability to take over the conversation at any point.

A smarter AI addition to the Pixel 11 Pro is contextual AI, which can pull relevant information from across your favorite apps more efficiently. Then there's Rambler, a new voice-to-text feature that lets your phone automatically remove filler words like "um" and format your thoughts with greater clarity before you hit send.
