This week saw the launch of two new powerful flagship smartphones: Asus Zenfone 6 and OnePlus 7 Pro. Asus Zenfone 6 comes with a rotating camera like the one we saw on Samsung Galaxy A80, and it is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 SoC, much like the OnePlus 7 Pro. We should mention that this the most powerful processor available right now. Here, we compare Asus Zenfone 6, OnePlus 7 Pro and Samsung Galaxy A80 so that you can decide which among the three is the best buy for you:
Display
Asus Zenfone 6: 6.4-inch full-HD+ IPS screen with an aspect ratio of 19.5:9
OnePlus 7 Pro: 6.67-inch curved Quad HD+ (1440×3120 pixels) Fluid AMOLED display
Samsung Galaxy A80: 6.7-inch Full HD+ display
The clear winner here is the flagship from OnePlus as its Fluid AMOLED display is a better quality screen than Full HD+ ones from the two companies. Although Samsung Galaxy A80 is marginally bigger in terms of screen size, we would go for OnePlus because its display is supposed to be one among its key features.
Processor
Asus Zenfone 6: Octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 SoC
OnePlus 7 Pro: Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 SoC with 7nn Kyro chipset
Samsung Galaxy A80: Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G SoC
If performance is important to you, you can pick either the newly launched smartphone from Asus or the one from OnePlus. They both are powered by Snapdragon 855 SoC, which is the most powerful processor in the world.
Rear camera(s)
Asus Zenfone 6: 48MP primary sensor with an f/1.79 aperture + 13MP ultra-wide-angle sensor
OnePlus 7 Pro: 48MP primary Sony IMX586 sensor that has an f/1.6 aperture + 8MP telephoto sensor that has an f/2.4 aperture and 3X zoom + 16MP wide-angle sensor that has an f/2.2 aperture and a field of view of 117 degrees.
Samsung Galaxy A80: 48MP primary sensor + an 8MP ultra-wide sensor + a 3D depth sensor
OnePlus’ flagship smartphone offers a triple rear camera setup with a 48MP primary sensor, and telephoto and wide-angle sensors. The Galaxy A80 also offers a triple rear camera setup with a 48MP primary sensor but it has an ultra-wide sensor and a 3D depth sensor. We recommend you to pick either of the two depending on which sensor you want.
Selfie camera
Asus Zenfone 6: 48MP primary sensor with an f/1.79 aperture + 13MP ultra-wide-angle sensor
OnePlus 7 Pro: 16MP pop-up selfie camera
Samsung Galaxy A80: 48MP primary sensor + an 8MP ultra-wide sensor + a 3D depth sensor
This one is very clear. Pick the Samsung or the Asus if you want a good selfie camera. Who wouldn’t want a 48MP selfie camera?
RAM and storage
Asus Zenfone 6: 8GB of RAM + 256GB storage
OnePlus 7 Pro: 6GB/8GB/12GB RAM with 128GB/256GB storage
Samsung Galaxy A80: 8GB RAM and 128GB storage
If you want a massive RAM, then go for the OnePlus. It offers a 12GB RAM with a 256GB onboard storage. The other two offer 8GB RAM, which is also quite a lot, but wouldn’t give as smooth an experience as a 12GB RAM phone.
Support for microSD card
Asus Zenfone 6: Up to 2TB
OnePlus 7 Pro: No
Samsung Galaxy A80: No
Battery
Asus Zenfone 6: 5,000mAh battery that has support for Quick Charge 4.0
OnePlus 7 Pro: 4,000mAh battery with Warp Charge 30W fast charging technology
Samsung Galaxy A80: 3,700mAh battery with 25W Super-Fast Charging support
In terms of battery, the newly launched smartphone from Asus is the best option to go with as it leaves the other two behind in terms of battery capacity.
Operating system
Asus Zenfone 6: Android 9.0 Pie skinned with Zen UI 6
OnePlus 7 Pro: Android 9.0 Pie skinned with OxygenOS
Samsung Galaxy A80: Android 9.0 Pie is skinned with Samsung’s One UI
