Our Take
Both gadgets include LTPO displays, which means they consume less energy. Furthermore, they feature an adaptive 120Hz refresh rate, therefore the displays are identical. In terms of hardware, there is no significant difference; the SoC is identical, and both run Android 12 with their separate skin overlays, which provide extensive customization choices.
The cameras are also the same, however, the sensor on the OnePlus 10 Pro is made by Hasselblad, whilst the iQoo 9 Pro has gimbal stabilisation and a telephoto sensor. In terms of selfies, we prefer the one on the OnePlus phone, which has a 32MP camera, while the iQoo has a 16MP selfie camera.
OnePlus has a longer battery life, but the iQoo 9 Pro has an advantage because it supports 120W fast charging. OnePlus has yet to announce the smartphone in India, but when its Chinese price is converted to Indian currency, it is less expensive than the iQoo 9 Pro, which is roughly Rs 10,000 more expensive. Both phones have premium features, therefore our selection would be the OnePlus 10 Pro, but we will have to wait till the company introduces the smartphone in India. In case it is more expensive than the iQoo 9 Pro, then our vote will swing in iQoo’s favour.
