Our Take
Both the devices have attractive design, but as the aesthetic appeal is a matter of personal preference, it is difficult to say which is superior. However, both gadgets have a metal frame and a glass back, and none of the two has any ingress protection.
In terms of display, the OnePlus phone boasts an LTPO screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, whilst the iQOO 9T 5G has an E5 AMOLED display. There is an optical fingerprint scanner on both the phones.
The OnePlus 10 Pro comes with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 CPU, while the iQOO 9T uses the most recent Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC. A 5,000mAh battery with 80W fast wired powers the OnePlus 10 Pro. While the iQOO 9T has a battery capacity of 4,700mAh, it also supports 120W rapid charging.
The front cameras on both phones have features that are relatively similar, with the exception of the OnePlus 10 Pro’s high-resolution 32-megapixel selfie camera and the iQOO phone’s 16-megapixel sensor.
The configurations of both phones are identical, but the iQOO 9T 5G is more economical than the OnePlus 10 Pro for the same RAM and storage choice. As a result, the iQOO 9T is unquestionably the champion because it offers the most modern features and chipset at a lesser price.
