Finally, Pixel phones are flagships again. Google released the Pixel 6 Pro last year and it is currently expanding to more regions, even though there are actually limited quantities available in some of them. Recently, data showed that OnePlus has beaten Google in its own country in terms of sales: the USA. But can OnePlus phones compete with Google ones in every aspect? This comparison will highlight the differences between the best flagships of each brand: the OnePlus 10 Pro and the Google Pixel 6 Pro. If you are having a hard time choosing between these two devices, this comparison between their specifications will make your life easier.

Design

I love the design of the Google Pixel 6 Pro because it is very original. Its horizontal camera module and its bicolor rear cover are simply amazing. But the OnePlus 10 Pro is another stunning phone if we talk about aesthetics, especially thanks to its curved screen at the sides. Both the phones have a body made of glass and an aluminum frame, but the only waterproof phone is the Google Pixel 6 Pro with its IP68 certification. Unlike the OnePlus 9 Pro, the 10 Pro does not offer any certification against water and dust. It is very hard to choose the best design, but according to my tastes, the Pixel 6 Pro has something more to offer thanks to its original look.

 

Display

On the paper, it looks like the OnePlus 10 Pro has a better display. It is an AMOLED panel with the LTPO 2.0 technology providing very low energy consumption and an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz. The screen shows up to one billion colors with a Quad HD+ resolution of 1440 x 3216 pixels, it has a diagonal of 6.7 inches, the HDR10+ certification, and the Gorilla Glass Victus protection. Despite the OnePlus 10 Pro looks to have better specs, the Google Pixel 6 Pro still comes with one of the best displays out there: an AMOLED panel with a Quad HD+ resolution of 1440 x 3120 pixels, the LTPO technology, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and the HDR10+ standard.

 

Specs & Software

The Google Pixel 6 Pro is equipped with the first Google’s proprietary chipset: the Google Tensor with very advanced machine learning capabilities, paired with 12 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. However, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform found on the OnePlus 10 Pro is actually more powerful. It is built with a 4 nm production process and runs at a max frequency of 3 GHz. It is paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 native storage. The real advantage of the Pixel 6 Pro is the software: it ships with a stock version of Android 12 and it will be the fastest phone to get the new major update to the next Android version because it is a Google device. However, the OnePlus 10 Pro will still get great software support and it is rumored to get the unified operating system created by OPPO and OnePlus.

 

Camera

It is very hard to establish which is the best camera phone of this duo and software optimization will play a very important role in this aspect. The Google Pixel 6 Pro has a definitely better telephoto sensor with its 48 MP resolution and 4x optical zoom. Even the main camera is more interesting. On the other hand, the OnePlus 10 Pro has a superior ultrawide camera with a 50 MP resolution and a 150° FOV, as well as the Hasselblad optimizations. I personally prefer the Pixel 6 Pro.

 

Battery

The Google Pixel 6 Pro and the OnePlus 10 Pro have more or less the same battery capacity and I do not expect big differences in terms of battery life. But the OnePlus flagship features faster charging technologies: 80W wired charging and 50W wireless charging.

 

Price

OnePlus 10 Pro is priced at €650/$744 in China and it is still not available globally, while the Google Pixel 6 Pro costs €900 in Europe and $760 in the U.S. The OnePlus 10 Pro has a lot of better specifications on paper, but the Pixel 6 Pro comes with great software features and cameras. Which device would you pick?
