| Rating | 8.8/10 | 7.8/10 |
| Battery | Big 7300mAh battery easily lasts a full day and refills in about 40 minutes with the charger. | Good battery life that lasts a full day, with fast magnetic wireless charging. |
| Camera | Good main and zoom cameras, but photos are not as impressive as the best camera phones. | Solid photos with a useful 5x zoom and very good selfies. |
| Speed | Top-tier chip and a 165Hz screen make games and scrolling feel very fluid. | Smooth for daily use, but slower than rival flagships, especially for games. |
| Catch | Camera quality is a step behind rivals, the zoom camera cannot focus close, and India prices have gone up a lot since launch. | Little changed from the Pixel 10, slow 30W wired charging, and it costs $100 (about ₹9,500) more. |
