OnePlus 7 Pro vs iPhone XS Max: Fair Fight?

2019-06-09
the 1 plus 7 pro can be one of the best of bang for buck devices in Android today finding itself among the flagship elite despite not having typical flagship prices and even with its little quarks the solid day to day experience is plenty for the multitudes of the oneplus faithful but does the never settle model ring true when the phone is pitted against the biggest Apple competitor this is PocketNow and I'm Josh Megara what's going on everybody let's find out the answer to that question in this comparison between the 1 plus 7 Pro and the iPhone 10s max there's no getting around it both of these phones are big there's a lot of screen to go around to be sure but both of these phones are dancing around the 6.5 inch display range as such the footprints are also really similar with the phones pushing and for some people blasting past the comfort level needed for one-handed usage the oneplus Evan pearl makes handling a bit tougher by curving the screen so ease of use gets knocked down a peg because of this but it's pretty easy to forgive the phone for all of this when the screen is this good a 90 Hertz refresh rate makes oxygen OS just glide underneath the finger and the higher resolution is a welcomed new step for a oneplus in general you need no better example of smart phone design evolution than these two phones right here while the screen of the iPhone is still a good looker it is already antiquated compared to many phones I came after it because they discovered ways of removing the notch like many users I got used to this cutout pretty easily but comparisons like this are what cause phone Envy let's put aside for a second the fact that the front facing camera isn't a cool motorized pop-up on the 1 + 7 Pro instead just look at the near bezel is quad HD AMOLED display here's to hoping that the next iPhone finds a way to give this kind of display experience going around the frames the iPhone might have a silent toggle but then again there's the oneplus alert slider there are no headphone jacks for either phone but both companies do have their own wireless headphone solutions external sound favors the 1 + 7 Pro whose dual speaker setup is above average and the battery in the 1 + 7 Pro is large at 4000 milliamp hour units which is almost 1000 / that found in the iPhone 10s max however the longevity of the 1 + 7 Pro gets taken down a little bit by the high refresh rate and the high resolution of the screen luckily though the 1 + 7 Pro can be charged up really easily using warp chargers which are conveniently included in the box that's not the case for the iPhone 10s Mac's even though it does have wireless charge alright that brings us to the cameras which is a matter of options and feature sets honestly the quality comparison came down to the 1 plus 7 pros 48 megapixel Sony IMX sensor that continues to impress and pretty much any phone that rocks it it's highly detailed provides great stabilization in video and is accompanied by both the zoom and a wide-angle lens in this case along with the pro mode for manual controls the 7 pro simply gives users more to work with while updates are still rolling in to improve camera quality since its initial release the only real bummer is as of right now are that the wide-angle lens is a bit soft in the edges and only the Sony sensor is used in video recording Diophantus max on the other hand brings dual 12 megapixel shooters for robust portrait shooting options and smart HDR capabilities to be honest photos and videos are consistently captured well in the iPhone making it a great point-and-shoot solution for many general users smart HDR can be a bit aggressive though especially in the shadows of photos and videos but detail is high throughout Apple has yet to embrace the wide-angle life but the real omission here is a night mode that we're starting to see in a lot of Android phones these days selfies between these two phones are pretty comparable and neither phone really pulls ahead in this particular department you do have to decide if portrait lighting is cooler than a pop-up camera and this pop-up camera hasn't gotten old yet performance isn't really something you'll envy in either direction as iPhones are always optimized properly for both daily user interface operation and app usage Bay 12 ionic is backed by 4 gigabytes of RAM and no expandable storage and unfortunately the higher you get with the internal storage options the further up the price goes the 1 plus 7 pro has oxygen OS itself a very optimized version of Android in particular as with any Android flagship the higher specifications ensure that the daily experience is top notch with the snapdragon a 55 supporting the 7 pro alongside up to 12 gigabytes of RAM and storage options that can get up to 256 gigabytes without breaking the bank the way the iPhone does gaming does favour the 1 + 7 Pro a bit more simply because it gives players more options there's a gaming mode that blocks unwanted distractions which can be done in iOS as well but now there's a fanatic mode that boosts performance if you've ever wanted to do gaming content there's now a built-in screen recorder here that record the internal audio iOS has had its own screen recorder for a while but there's more control and oxygen OS over the quality of the capture and as far as everything else goes into user interfaces the story is summed up pretty simply they're both clean but the looks are only surface level what matters most to Apple users is the ecosystem for example iMessage still remains one of the biggest reasons to stick to iOS and a lot of you talk about it in the comments especially when it comes to group messaging airdrop kind of doesn't have a true equivalent in Android yet and as Apple makes bigger and bigger moves towards their services interconnectivity between these devices Mac OS and now the new iPad OS devices will be appreciated by those who go all-in on the Apple stuff those functions are not lost on the oneplus fan but they're a bit harder to come by due to the fragmented nature of Android but the story of oneplus is software is about how it takes Android and makes it simple and clean them oxygen OS has actually had some features that are now getting into iOS 13 just announced at WWDC for example the dark mode and of course Android is more customizable than iOS but oxygen keeps those options simple yet significant right down to a 1 plus slate font as is always the case with these Android versus iOS comparisons your choice is gonna come down to your needs oxygen OS cleanly delivers the possibilities of Android while iOS is just one layer to an ecosystem that rewards users for willing to bite more and more of the app a quick shout-out

that is found in the description down below and so there you have it a look at two of the biggest phones kind of literally and figuratively in Android and iOS you may be put off by the high price of the Apple device especially at higher storage capacities but if you have your eyes on the latest iOS smartphone you might already be far into the Apple ecosystem to begin with one plus is getting better and better each year this year making a phone that provides a lot without too many sacrifices and it certainly gets closer to the cleanliness experience that Apple users have enjoyed in their camp thus far all right it's time to ask which one you would pick into the comment sections down below and let us know which one of these large phones you might end up picking and let us know why as
