A few days ago, Oppo announced the Reno3 series with a base variant which can almost be considered as a flagship killer. As we showed you, it was even able to beat the Reno3 Pro on the first benchmarks. That is why we decided to compare it with the most attractive flagship killers actually in the market. Among the global ones, we got the Realme X2 Pro and the OnePlus 7T, both flagships available at modest prices. Is it better to go for a flagship killer offering the max performance or for a complete device with no extreme performance like the Oppo Reno3? If you want to know, go ahead with this specs comparison.

Design
We doubt you are a real design fanatic if you are checking this comparison, but if you are, then you may be interested in knowing that Oppo Reno3 has more attractive aesthetics. Despite having a bigger battery than OnePlus 7T, it has a slimmer body. Further, it is a more compact design and it has a cleaner rear side thanks to a smaller camera module. I even prefer its gradient color variants to both Realme X2 Pro and OnePlus 7T.
Display
With each of these devices, you get a high-end AMOLED display with a classic waterdrop notch. But Realme X2 Pro and OnePlus 7T offer something more: the HDR10+ certification, full DCI P3 coverage and even a 90 Hz refresh rate providing smoother user experience. Between the Realme X2 Pro and the OnePlus 7T, there are very marginal differences, so we will not pick a winner. Both are amazing displays in terms of image reproduction. In each case, you get a Full HD+ resolution. OnePlus 7T and Realme X2 Pro provide Dolby Atmos stereo speakers, while Oppo Reno3 does not.
Hardware/Software
While Oppo Reno3 is the world’s first smartphone to be fueled by the MediaTek Dimensity 1000L chipset, Realme X2 Pro and OnePlus 7T are equipped with a Snapdragon 855+ SoC. MediaTek Dimensity 1000L is supposed to be a flagship processor, but there is no way it can compete with the amazing Snapdragon 855+ chipset found on the Realme X2 Pro and the OnePlus 7T. These two devices even offer a fast UFS 3.0 internal storage and up to 12 GB of RAM (the 6/64 GB variant of the Realme X2 Pro has UFS 2.1 storage). But Oppo Reno3 is still an amazing performance phone and, unlike its rivals, it supports 5G connectivity through an integrated 5G modem, while OnePlus 7T and Realme X2 Pro are 4G-only. OnePlus 7T and Oppo Reno3 run Android 10 out of the box, while Realme X2 Pro is still based on Android Pie.
Camera
We know that Oppo Reno3 and OnePlus 7T offer something more when it comes to camera quality. Unfortunately, we still had no chance to test the Oppo Reno3 thoroughly since it was announced just three days ago, but we know for sure it will be superior to the Realme X2 Pro, just like the OnePlus 7T.
Battery
With battery capacities of 4025 mAh and 4000 mAh respectively, Oppo Reno3 and Realme X2 Pro offer a longer battery life than OnePlus 7T. We did not test the battery life of the Oppo Reno3, so we still can not tell which will last more on a single charge. But we can tell you Realme X2 Pro charges a lot faster thanks to its 50W fast charging technology allowing the phone to reach 100 percent of battery life in just 35 minutes.
Price
Oppo Reno3 launched in the Chinese market with a €440/$492 starting price for the 8/128 GB configuration, Realme X2 Pro 6/64 GB costs €399/$445, and OnePlus 7T is currently available for about €450/$503 in its 8/128 GB version, thanks to online street prices. There is not a clear winner here. If you want 5G your only choice is Oppo Reno3, which also provides a slimmer and more compact design. OnePlus 7T and Realme X2 Pro have better performance and displays and the latter offers them at a more affordable price, while the former has more convincing cameras. Which one would you pick?
