Oppo has launched the Reno 10x Zoom Edition, but how does it fare against the OnePlus 7 Pro?

The Chinese smartphone giants are taking control of the flagship market in 2019 with manufacturers introducing new and improved handsets that offer a significant increase in performance and functionality from their predecessors.

Oppo recently unveiled a very-capable Reno handset, but how does it fare against another handset released less than two weeks back, the “OnePlus 7 Pro”. Let’s find out in this ultimate spec comparison.

Performance

The OnePlus 7 Pro should edge out the Reno in performance courtesy of the UFS 3.0 storage standards, which significantly improves the read and write speeds.

Display

The “display” is where the OnePlus 7 Pro really shines. The Fluid AMOLED panel on the OnePlus has a higher resolution and pixel density than the AMOLED screen on the Reno. Additionally, the OnePlus 7 Pro’s screen also features a 90Hz refresh rate as compared to the 60Hz refresh rate on the Reno.

Battery

While battery capacity on both phones is more or less the same; the more vibrant OLED coupled with the 90Hz refresh rate on the OnePlus 7 Pro is an absolute battery hog.

Software 

The OxygenOS 9.5 skin on the OnePlus 7 Pro offers a near-stock Android experience and incorporates better features as compared to Oppo’s ColorOS 6.0 on Oppo Reno 10x Zoom

Camera

The OnePlus 7 Pro and Oppo Reno 10x Zoom Edition both feature a triple rear camera setup with the pop-up selfie camera. And, while DxOMark rates the OnePlus 7 Pro camera as one of the best in the world; we found it still lacked in several areas. The Oppo Reno, 10x Zoom Edition, also features a 10x Hybrid Zoom that’ll let you get up close and personal to the subject. We'll just have to call this one a tie.

Price

There's no question as to who would win this one; the base variants of both the Oppo Reno 10x Zoom Edition and OnePlus 7 Pro have a difference of Rs 9,000 between them.

The Oppo Reno 10x Zoom Edition and OnePlus 7 Pro are both excellent phones. But the additional features the OnePlus 7 Pro brings to the table just about justifies the extra price. While the performance bump maybe minimal, good software and an excellent display on the OnePlus 7 Pro really make it worth the additional 9K.
