Our Take
Both phones have a new design, but the OnePlus smartphone’s camera setup is more prominent, adding premiumness to its form factor. Apple uses a notch for the selfie camera, while OnePlus uses a punch-hole cutout to make the screen look more appealing and less intrusive. The screens on both devices are roughly the same size, so don’t be fooled by the fact that Apple uses an XDR display while the OnePlus phone uses an LTPO display. Both displays are OLED screens; the only difference is the branding. Despite being thicker, the OnePlus 10 Pro is lighter than the iPhone 13 due to the OnePlus’ use of aluminium rather than Apple’s use of stainless steel.
Apple uses a 12MP sensor for both its wide and ultra-wide lenses, as well as a LiDAR sensor on the back for better focusing and handling extreme low light photography. OnePlus, on the other hand, offers Hasselblad-branded high-resolution camera sensors that provide computational photography benefits similar to those offered by Apple. On the front, OnePlus has a 32MP selfie camera, while Apple has a 12MP selfie camera.
On the hardware side, the OnePlus 10 Pro is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC. While the iPhone 13 has its own A15 Bionic chipset, both devices are capable of handling high-end gaming and other tasks.
In terms of battery life, the OnePlus 10 Pro has a 5,000mAh battery, while the iPhone 13 has a 3,240mAh battery. However, you will spend a significant amount of time on both devices. Furthermore, the OnePlus’ phone is significantly less expensive than Apple’s iPhone 13. So, if you’re thinking about upgrading your Android phone, the OnePlus 10 Pro is the way to go.
