Verdict: Xiaomi 17T ahead on 5 rows, Pixel 10 on none
On the makers’ published figures, the Xiaomi 17T wins on peak brightness (3,500 nits against 3,000 nits), storage (base) (256 GB against 128 GB), battery capacity (6,500 mAh against 4,970 mAh), battery per charge (65.67 h against 49.38 h) and fast charging (67 W against 30 W). One gap is borderline, a difference most people would not notice: display size (6.59 in against 6.3 in) for the Xiaomi 17T. The difference in weight is below the threshold you would notice. Both state the same refresh rate, RAM and battery lifespan. The other 37 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.
