The challenge of the iPhone 13 Pro Max against every top-tier flagship in the Android world continues: after comparing it to the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra and the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, now it is the turn of the OPPO Find X3 Pro. Did OPPO release a device that can be considered at the same level as the new generation of Apple flagships or the iPhone 13 Pro Max is a superior phone? Both of these devices come with amazing aesthetics and top-notch performance in every department. Through this comparison, we hope to clear your ideas about the differences between their specifications.

Design
As already mentioned, OPPO Find X3 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max come with stunning designs. I personally like the aesthetics of the OPPO Find X3 Pro more because of its rear design full of curves and with no interruptions. But on the other hand, there is to admit that iPhone 13 Pro Max has a better build quality. Instead of simple glass, its rear side is made of Ceramic Shield coating and the frame is made of stainless steel. Further, the iPhone 13 Pro Max offers more water resistance since it can withstand up to 6 meters of depth with its IP68 certification. It has that big notch, but it is a thinner phone.
Display
OPPO Find X3 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max are equipped with astonishing displays, but the iPhone 13 Pro Max looks like the best one due to better image quality. The OPPO Find X3 Pro has all the most advanced technologies: LTPO for adaptive refresh rate up to 120 Hz, HDR10+ certification, BT.2020 standard, one billion colors, and even a Quad HD+ resolution. The iPhone 13 Pro Max offers HDR10 and a 120 Hz refresh rate, as well as Dolby Vision support. Despite it may look inferior on the paper, its image quality is so amazing that DisplayMate gave it the Best Display Award. iPhone 13 Pro Max has an OLED panel but, unlike the Find X3 Pro, it does not have a fingerprint reader: it relies on 3D facial recognition for authentication.
Specs & Software
Thanks to the iOS operating system which is optimized better and thanks to a superior processor (the Apple A15 Bionic built at 5 nm with a max frequency of 3.22 GHz), the iPhone 13 Pro Max is able to achieve better performance, even though it has only a half of the RAM of the Find X3 Pro by OPPO. However, both of these devices are flagships able to execute every task with blazing speeds and great stability, so you would not notice a big difference between them. Note that OPPO Find X3 Pro only comes with 256 GB of internal storage, while you can get up to 1 TB of native storage with the iPhone 13 Pro Max.
Camera
Each of these handsets has its pro and cons when it comes to the cameras. The OPPO Find X3 Pro can achieve a better photo quality in various scenarios, such as ultrawide shots and macro, thanks to its microscope sensor sporting 60x magnification (30x optical magnification). The iPhone 13 Pro Max is able to record better videos and amazing normal photos. Further, it has a 3D LiDAR scanner for AR appliances.
Battery
The battery of the iPhone 13 Pro Max is slightly smaller if compared to the OPPO Find X3 Pro, but it still provides a longer battery life due to the better optimization of iOS. The Find X3 Pro wins when it comes to charging speeds as it features 65W fast wired charging and 30W wireless charging. But the Apple flagship has MagSafe which allows for a more comfortable wireless charging experience and it also allows to connect interesting external accessories such as wallets and battery packs.
Price
In the European market, the iPhone 13 Pro Max carries a starting price of about €1200, while it costs $1100 in the U.S. The OPPO Find X3 Pro was launched in Europe with a listing price of €1149/$1130, but currently, it is easy to find it for less than €1000 and sometimes even for less than €900/$1044. It is not possible to choose a winner of this comparison that is valid for everyone, but overall, the iPhone 13 Pro Max has some more pros, such as its build quality, and battery life.
