Leaks and tech rumors are no longer centered solely on the iPhone 17 Pro, as five strong competitors are now emerging that could redefine the smartphone landscape. Among them stand out models with revolutionary cameras, more powerful processors, and bold designs such as the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, Google Pixel 9 Pro, OnePlus 13, Xiaomi 15 Ultra, and Huawei Pura X. Each of these devices aims to surpass what Apple has brought to the market so far, betting on mobile photography, performance improvements, and cutting-edge innovation.

These rivals not only seek to match what the iPhone Pro will offer its users but also to get ahead with features that could soon become new industry standards: ultra-fast charging, advanced AI integration, improved optical sensors, and more.

Can any of them really dethrone this year’s iPhone?

Yes, if all these companies manage to combine these advancements without compromising stability or usability. Currently, Apple still holds an advantage in terms of ecosystem and brand loyalty, but these competitors are closing the gap and may soon ignite a new smartphone war.
