we've been comparing oneplus devices with the latest galaxy for years and usually the oneplus wins see well the galaxy has always been a better phone the differences were never enough to warrant the substantial differences in price tag the oneplus was just good enough thing as the dynamic has changed the oneplus 7 pro is a completely different beast that now doesn't just want to compete with specs and price this wants to be a better phone than its competitor and still priced aggressively the question is if the bar is high enough to compete I'm high metal even out with pocket now and this is one plus seven pro versus the samsung galaxy s 10 plus I guess the biggest question is should you trust oneplus I mean Samsung has been in the market for years they owned the most popular Android brand by far and well the answer is actually quite complicated side-by-side both devices are flat slabs of aluminum and curved glass both have shiny finishes and the borders and both are reflective fingerprint magnets at the back neither of them is what I'd call ergonomic but the oneplus 7 pro makes it easier to reach the power button at least and the mute slider is also very convenient where the galaxy seriously has the worst power button to reach by far that being said the Seven Pro is five millimeters taller one millimeter wider one millimeter thicker and 31 grams heavier than the galaxy this allows the oneplus 7 pro a larger 6.6 7 inch display when compared to six point four inches on the galaxy with a negligible difference in screen to body ratio these are both Super AMOLED displays at quad HD plus resolution that are a stunning sight to see and both are capable of HDR 10 plus if you're not a fan of notches or interruptions you'll prefer the display on the 7 Pro you knee didn't say oneplus has a better display because of its 90 Hertz refresh rate but not so fast if you value brightness in direct sunlight the Galaxy would be the device that I recommend most also give extra points to the galaxy on content consumption it's not really just for the stereo speakers because both devices have them but because the Galaxy includes a headphone jack internals are a mixed bag though they both have the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 and both have a four thousand milliamp hour battery the seven pro has faster charging through warped charge but the galaxy has reversible wireless charging the galaxy also starts at more RAM but you'll pay a lot less money for six eight or twelve gigs of RAM on the 7 Pro they both start at the same storage but the 7 Pro has faster storage even if the galaxy does bring expandability the Galaxy S 10 Plus also brings an IP rating where the 7 pro is guaranteed to be water-resistant even if no certification is provided let's just call the Part A ty given all the variations as for the cool factor I'll tell you this much both devices have their own they both have an on display fingerprint scanner with the optical solution on the seven probe being significantly faster and the option on the galaxy being more secure at the top of the coolness food chain is the one plus motorized camera I find it to be a smarter solution than the Infinity opuntia on the galaxy from a visual perspective though durability is obviously a concern and the galaxy does bring the added kick of a deaf sensor for portrait selfies seriously I don't blame you if you consider the hardware portion of this comparison to be a tie both companies bring their own levels of innovation seriously the best tiebreaker right now is software this is really an easy win for one Plus given its simplistic approach oxygen OS looks like stock Android but is faster more fluid and has a lot more useful touches like the flexibility in the navigation buttons the options to map the Google assistance of the power button and the Google feed on the launcher if you're using the t-mobile variant not really a fan of the drawer with the unlock variants and don't get me wrong there's nothing wrong with Samsung's one UI it's more ergonomic thanks to menus and options now being presented at the bottom it's a bit more elegant from a design perspective and I find it's customization options to be more complete thing is if I had to pick only one I would go for oxygen OS those of you interested in the Android cube beta this phone already supports it and I've also noticed that oneplus devices have aged better over time from software optimizations to getting software updates now once you compare them in day to day use a snappy phone is always more convenient the Galaxy user interfaces lag with animations that make it look better but which provide no useful benefit it's still a fast phone but there's no denying that the 7 pro feels better it also feels like the 7 pro is more power efficient people did praise the Galaxy S 10 plus for its battery life but I can't really say that was my case even today you will get through end of day but only the 7 Pro will give you an extra one and faster charging in the box phone calls sound great on both devices and data speeds are comparable I highly recommend that you watch my separate video on the Galaxy S 10 5g to see the test being conducted between these two phones and that one as a comparison now the camera comparison is an interesting one because both devices have embraced the advantages of versatility but do yourself a favor and don't make this a comparison about specs surely oneplus has more megapixels in the primary but the sn+ has a brighter aperture that adapts the sn+ has more megapixels on the telephoto but the 7 pro is 3x optical versus 2x and even if the megapixel count is the same on the wide-angle for both the Galaxy has slightly more field of view really what's most important to compare is how software is optimized for both and the resulting photos Samsung has more of a reputation for taking better stills but oneplus has brought some dramatic improvements in photography there are certain cases where you'll have a hard time telling them apart another is where Samsung pulls out more dynamic range there are times when Samsung does a better job in the light but since one Plus has nightscape it can grab more detail and let me just go quiet for a bit and show you some more samples and let you be the judge of these results where things start to incline more towards Samson is the maturity of the software the fact that you can now get portrait shots without needing to step back from your subjects whereas the crop is really aggressive on the seventh row you can also edit these portraits after the fact and Samsung's life focus and even apply some neat effects while the seventh row just gives you the still and that's it same thing with selfies where oneplus offers more megapixels on its module and a slightly wider crop but the Galaxy has larger microns and a built in depth sensor nicely I tend to like more how the galaxy handles selfies and even portraits but I'm not the biggest fan of these so I'll let you be the judge and you can also notice this maturity in video where the galaxy s 10 plus allows you to select different cameras to record your shot and even lets you move within them while you're recording where the 1 + 7 Pro only lets you record video with the primary video quality is comparable on both and also stabilization but if you're willing to take the hit into 1080p territory Samsung's super steady video play with the wide-angle camera is quite epic and even in the case of selfie video I'd give more points to the galaxy for being able to record 4k from the front while the 7 pro is still limited to 1080p and this is even while having more megapixels on the sensor to conclude I think you understand why this is one of the toughest comparisons that we run every year both companies pull some really good punches with all the quality and versatility that they offer and each set a very high bar each device is beautiful and powerful the only thing left to compare is the price and guys please bear with me here I do know that you can find some really great deals for the galaxy in all US carriers but that's not a permanent reality and that's not something that people can take advantage of outside the United States if we were to compare these devices by their retail price the t-mobile variant of the 1 + 7 Pro starts at $6.99 how the galaxy s 10 + starts at 9 9 nine guys $300 is $300 that's almost the price of a Nintendo switch a SmartWatch you can get a cheap Chromebook for that money you can get a lot of stuff for $300 these days in the past I would conclude these videos by saying that the shortcomings of the oneplus made it good enough for the price today we pretty much have a tie and with the tiebreaker being the price if this were my money I would buy the oneplus 7 pro now which one would you buy let us know in the comments down below and while you're at it make sure you follow us on social medias our extended
