2022 just started and two Chinese giants already released their new flagships. We are talking about Realme and OnePlus: the former came up with the Realme GT 2 Pro announced in China on January 4, while the latter unveiled the OnePlus 10 Pro yesterday, on January 10. We can say that these two handsets are definitely the most powerful smartphones released in 2022 until now. We naturally excluded the Xiaomi 12 Pro and the Motorola Edge X30 because they debuted in the last month of 2021. After comparing the OnePlus 10 Pro and the Xiaomi 12 Pro, we decided to publish a specs comparison between the OnePlus 10 Pro and the Realme GT 2 Pro in order to give you the most complete panorama about the fastest flagships out there.

Design

There are two color options of the Realme GT 2 Pro which let it look a lot more interesting than the OnePlus 10 Pro in terms of design. We are talking about the Paper Green and the Paper White color options, which are made of a special bio-polymer resembling the touch and feel of the real paper. It is a sustainable material that reduces CO2 emissions and makes the phone look unique without saying goodbye to great durability. The OnePlus 10 Pro has an amazing curved screen, but the rear side is a traditional piece of glass with a huge camera module. It is protected by Gorilla Glass Victus by Corning but, unlike its predecessor, it is not a waterproof phone as it does not feature the IP68 certification.

 

Display

The displays of the OnePlus 10 Pro and the Realme GT 2 Pro have the same main specifications, so it is essentially a draw if we only compare the two panels. These AMOLED panels have a diagonal of 6.7 inches and sport the LTPO2 technology enabling an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz and lower energy consumption compared to the previous generation of LTPO panels. The displays come with a Quad HD+ resolution of 1440 x 3216 pixels, they can show up to one billion colors and they support the HDR10+ certification. There are also the Gorilla Glass Victus protection for the front glass and an in-display fingerprint reader. Great flagship-class display, nothing negative to say about them.

 

Specs & Software

Just like the displays, even the hardware departments are the same. The OnePlus 10 Pro and the Realme GT 2 Pro are powered by the best mobile platform in the smartphone market: the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. It is an octa-core processor built at 4 nm with a max frequency of 3 GHz and a powerful Cortex-X2 CPU, paired with up to 12 GB of RAM. Note that the max amount of internal storage for the OnePlus 10 Pro is 256 GB, while the Realme GT 2 Pro goes up to 512 GB. The OnePlus 10 Pro runs Android 12 customized by ColorOS 12.1 and it will run OxygenOS 12 in the global market, while the Realme GT 2 Pro runs Android 12 and Realme UI 3.0 which is almost the same thing because the Realme UI 3.0 is based on ColorOS. But the Realme GT 2 Pro is supposed to receive just two years of major Android updates, while the OnePlus 10 Pro will get three major Android versions.

 

Camera

The OnePlus 10 Pro seems to have a more interesting camera setup for a single reason: it has a telephoto sensor with 3.3x optical zoom. Unfortunately, the Realme GT 2 Pro lacks a telephoto camera and it is replaced by a less impressive 3 MP microscope sensor with up to 40x magnification, similar to the one found on the OPPO Find X3 Pro.

 

Battery

The OnePlus 10 Pro and the Realme GT 2 Pro have the same battery capacity of 5000 mAh, but the OnePlus 10 Pro provides faster charging speeds thanks to its 80W fast charging technology. Further, it supports wireless charging (with a power of 50W), unlike its rival.

 

Price

OnePlus 10 Pro starts from €650/$744 in China, while Realme GT 2 Pro begins at €542/$620. The OnePlus 10 Pro wins the comparison thanks to its telephoto camera and wireless charging, but the Realme GT 2 Pro can let you save money with its affordable price.
