Design
The OnePlus 8T has definitely the ugliest design. A lot of people will like the fact that it has a flat display instead of the curved screens found on OPPO Reno 5 Pro and Vivo X60 Pro, but the screen-to-body ratio is lower and the overall look is less impressive. With their curved displays, OPPO Reno5 Pro and Vivo X60 Pro look more elegant. The OPPO Reno5 Pro is my favorite one because of its more beautiful camera module: it is even the most lightweight phone of the trio. All of these phones are built with a glass back and an aluminum frame, so premium materials just like the most expensive flagships.
Display
The most advanced displays belong to the OnePlus 8T and the Vivo X60 Pro. They have more or less the same specifications and there are marginal differences between them, so we won’t pick a single winner in this comparison. You would better focus on the other specifications. We prefer them over the OPPO Reno5 Pro due to their higher refresh rate: up to 120 Hz, while OPPO Reno5 Pro stops at 90 Hz. They both feature a Full HD+ resolution, the AMOLED technology, and the HDR10+ certification. On each phone, you get an in-display fingerprint scanner.
Hardware/Software
According to the AnTuTu benchmark, the Exynos 1080 found on the Vivo X60 Pro is the most powerful chipset of this comparison. It scores higher than the Snapdragon 865 found in the OnePlus 8T, and the Dimensity 1000+ found on the OPPO Reno5 Pro is actually less powerful than the Snapdragon 865. Further, the Exynos 1080 is built with a better production process: 5 nm instead of 7 nm. Vivo X60 Pro features 12 GB of RAM and UFS 3.1 native storage, while OPPO Reno5 Pro gets slower UFS 2.1 storage. So the ranking sees Vivo X60 Pro at the first place, followed by OnePlus 8T and OPPO Reno5 Pro. All the phones ship with Android 11 out of the box.
Camera
The winner of the camera comparison is the Vivo X60 Pro. It features a 48 MP main sensor with a brighter f/1.5 focal aperture, a periscope sensor with 5x optical zoom and an 8 MP resolution, a 13 MP ultrawide sensor with 2x optical zoom for portraits, dual OIS, and a 13 MP ultrawide camera. OnePlus 8T comes right after with a 48 MP quad-camera and OIS, including a 16 MP ultrawide sensor. OPPO Reno5 Pro has a midrange-class camera department without OIS and with a 64 MP main sensor.
Battery
The OnePlus 8T has a bigger 4500 mAh battery and it provides a longer battery life. OnePlus 8T and OPPO Reno5 Pro feature a faster 65W charging technology. Vivo X60 Pro has slower charging and a smaller battery than both its rivals.
Price
OnePlus 8T is priced at about €416/$507 in China, OPPO Reno5 Pro starts at €410/$500, and Vivo X60 Pro has a €575/$700 listing price. The Vivo X60 Pro is the best device for this comparison due to its better cameras and strong chipset, but its value for money is lower. The OnePlus 8T actually provides a higher quality-price ratio than the Vivo X60 Pro thanks to its street prices (it is older), while OPPO Reno5 Pro sits in the middle.
