If you do not want to spend a lot of money but you still want a premium phone with flagship-class performance, you currently have a lot of recent choices in the Indian market. A few days ago, OPPO launched the Reno7 Pro 5G in the peninsula with very advanced specifications and a beautiful design offered at a good price. Is the OPPO Reno7 Pro 5G the best device in the high-end segment if we exclude top-tier flagships or there are other good rivals that can compete with it? Currently, there is a very important and valid rival from a sister company that might cannibalize its sales: the OnePlus 9RT. This is a comparison between their specifications which will let you learn the main differences.

Design

OPPO Reno7 Pro 5G is not only more beautiful than the OnePlus 9RT but also one of the most gorgeous devices out there if we consider the design. It is very thin and lightweight, and it comes with flat borders just like the latest iPhones. Further, on the rear side, it has a camera module built with premium materials and includes notification LEDs lights around. The OnePlus 9RT is built with premium materials including glass for the rear side and aluminum for the frame, but it is thicker and bigger than the OPPO Reno7 Pro 5G, and it lacks flat borders. The OPPO Reno7 Pro 5G wins the design comparison without any doubt.

 

Display

There are no very important differences between the displays of the OPPO Reno7 Pro 5G and the OnePlus 9RT, but they are different panels. Starting from the things in common, they are both AMOLED panels with a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels and the HDR10+ certification, as well as an in-display fingerprint reader and the Gorilla Glass 5 protection by Corning. The OnePlus 9RT has a wider display with a diagonal of 6.62 inches and it even comes with a higher 120 Hz refresh rate, so it has a better panel for gaming and for those who prefer having the smoothest viewing experience. Both the phones are equipped with stereo speakers: their earpiece doubles as a secondary speaker.

 

Specs & Software

The OPPO Reno7 Pro 5G is powered by the Dimensity 1200 Max chipset by MediaTek: an upgraded version of the Dimensity 1200. The OnePlus 9RT gets a Snapdragon 888 by Qualcomm (not the Plus variant, despite the phone being released in the second half of 2021). Despite being an upgrade of the Dimensity 1200, the newer Dimensity 1200 Max is still inferior to the Snapdragon 888 mobile platform in terms of CPU and GPU performance. And given that both the phones get the same memory configuration (up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of internal storage), the OnePlus 9RT wins the hardware comparison. The software of these two devices is the same on the Chinese market, but it differs in the global market: ColorOS 12 and OxygenOS 12, respectively.

 

Camera

If you are looking for better rear cameras, then you should go for the OnePlus 9RT without thinking twice. It has a 50 MP Sony IMX766 main sensor with OIS, a 16 MP ultrawide camera, and a 2 MP macro sensor. The OPPO Reno7 Pro 5G sports a 50 MP camera without OIS, an inferior 8 MP ultrawide camera, and a 2 MP macro camera, but it has a superior front camera: the Sony IMX709 sensor with a 32 MP resolution.

 

 

Battery

OPPO Reno7 Pro 5G and OnePlus 9RT are equipped with the same battery: a 4500 mAh unit that supports 65W fast charging. The battery life provided by these two devices is very similar, so it is essentially a draw.

 

Price

The listing price of the OPPO Reno7 Pro 5G for the Indian market roughly translates into €467 / $533 at the actual change (Rs. 39,999). The base variant of the OnePlus 9RT has a listing price of Rs. 42,999 / €503 / $574 in India. At the end of the day, the OnePlus 9RT is a superior phone thanks to its higher refresh rate, better chipset, superior rear cameras. But the OPPO Reno7 Pro 5G has a better design and a more affordable price.
