Verdict: Pixel 10 ahead on 2 rows, Pixel 7 on none
On the makers’ figures and the named third-party sources, the Pixel 10 wins on peak brightness (3,000 nits from the maker against 1,400 nits from GSMArena) and Geekbench 6 (CPU, multi-core) (5,397 against 3,256, both from Geekbench Browser). 4 gaps are borderline, differences most people would not notice: refresh rate (120 Hz against 90 Hz) for the Pixel 10, RAM (12 GB against 8 GB) for the Pixel 10, battery capacity (4,970 mAh against 4,355 mAh) for the Pixel 10 and wireless charging (20 W from GSMArena against 15 W from the maker) for the Pixel 7. The difference in weight is below the threshold you would notice. Both state the same display size, storage (base) and fast charging. The other 36 rows have no threshold or no direction to judge by, so nobody wins them.

Specifications
A win is marked only where the figures can be ranked and the gap is one you could notice. A row the site has no threshold for says whether the two differ, and that it is not ranking them. = marks the same figure on both, ≠ not ranked a difference with no ranking. Every figure carries its source.
