Pixel 10 Pro/Pro XL is Google's flagship Android phone, boasting performance , a top-notch camera, and advanced AI features . Powered by the Tensor G5 processor, it handles even the most demanding tasks and lets you intelligently edit photos right on your phone. The bright AMOLED display and reliable battery ensure comfortable everyday use.

How do the Pro and Pro XL differ from each other? They share the same performance, camera, and core features, but differ in size and battery life.

Deciding between flagship models from Apple and Samsung is always tough, but in the end, we narrowly ranked the iPhone 17 Pro/Pro Max in second place.

It boasts an ultra-powerful A19 Pro chip that can handle even the most demanding applications or games. We were also impressed by the sophisticated camera system (all 48 MP rear sensors, significantly better optical zoom and stabilization) or the very good battery life and storage of up to 2 TB for an iPhone (can it even use it)? The Super Retina XDR ProMotion display with a 120 Hz refresh rate delivers true colors.

The difference between the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max is mainly in size and durability: the Pro has a 6.3" display, the Pro Max 6.9", a longer battery and the option of up to 2 TB of storage, both have the same performance and features.

1. Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra: a winner that also stands up as a gaming phone

The top spot in our ranking was taken by a "machine" from Samsung, specifically the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra model, about which a lot was written in 2025.

It is a premium smartphone with a powerful processor (Snapdragon 8 Elite with eight-core architecture) and a top-notch AMOLED display. It has an exceptional camera (200 MP main sensor, periscope zoom and high-quality night modes). It also offers an S Pen stylus and Samsung's rich AI features, and the battery life is solid.

Simply put, it is one of the best mobile phones that has ever seen the light of day , which is of course also reflected in the price tag, which is one of the biggest disadvantages. It can also stand up to scrutiny as a gaming phone.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra's dominance was determined, among other things, by the fact that it has more advanced AI features than the iPhone 17 and also by the fact that iPhones have not made much progress compared to the previous generation.

Price: from approx. CZK 29,000 in the 12 GB/256 GB version.

Pros: excellent display, incredible performance, perfect camera.

Cons: high price and higher weight.
