A few days ago Vivo’s sub-brand announced the new flagship killer iQOO Neo7. It is one of the most impressive phones launched this year if we consider its hardware department and battery, a perfect device for gamers and even the first from this brand to run the latest Android version out of the box. Its amazing value for money is the reason why we are actually comparing it to a lot of flagship killers out there, especially the ones equipped with the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset, for obvious reasons. Today, it is the turn of another very interesting flagship killer: the OnePlus 10T. Note that this device is a rebranded version of the OnePlus Ace Pro and it has exactly the same specifications. It is also placed in the same price range as the new iQOO device. Here is a comparison between the main specifications of the iQOO Neo7 and the OnePlus 10T or Ace Pro.

Design

The iQOO Neo 7 and the OnePlus 10T come with a good design. They are not built with the most premium materials, but they come with a high screen to body ratio and punch hole displays. On the rear side, they got big camera modules, not the best if you need a minimalistic phone, but they are not ugly devices. I personally prefer the OnePlus 10T because it has a glass back and a glass front protected by Corning’s Gorilla Glass 5, but it is mainly a matter of taste. These phones are very similar in terms of thickness and weight, the OnePlus is slightly more compact, but nothing very relevant. While the iQOO has volume buttons and the power key placed both on the right side, the 10T has a power key placed on the right side and volume buttons placed on the left.

Display

The displays of these two phones come with very similar specifications, there is nothing special to mention in terms of differences, so we will just list their specifications. The iQOO Neo7 has an AMOLED panel able to show up to one billion colors with a diagonal of 6.78 inches, a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and HDR10+ certification, as well as an in-display fingerprint reader. The OnePlus 10T has an AMOLED display with one billion colors, a diagonal of 6.7 inches, a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, a 120 Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ certification, and an in-display fingerprint reader. The very important difference is in the audio, as the OnePlus is the only one packing stereo speakers, so its audio is definitely more powerful.

Specs & Software

The OnePlus 10T wins the hardware comparison, even though by a slight margin. It is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9000+ mobile platform built with a 4 nm production process and sporting an octa-core architecture composed of a Cortex X2 CPU running at a max frequency of 3.2 GHz, three Cortex A710 CPUs running at 2.85 GHz, and four Cortex A510 CPUs running at 1.8 GHz, as well as a Mali G710 MC10 GPU. Alongside this SoC, there are up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of native storage. The OnePlus 10T has a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 mobile platform built with a 4 nm production process and with an octa-core architecture including a Cortex X2 CPU with a max frequency of 3.19 GHz, three Cortex A710 CPUs running at 2.75 GHz, four Cortex A510 CPUs running at 1.8 GHz, and an Adreno 730 GPU. While the two processors have similar performance, the OnePlus 10T has higher multi-tasking capabilities thanks to the presence of 16 GB of RAM, but it only reaches 256 GB of native storage. However, the RAM is the component accounting for better performance. On the other hand, the iQOO Neo7 runs Android 13 out of the box, while the OnePlus 10T has Android 12.

Camera

If we consider the cameras, it is essentially a draw because these handsets have exactly the same camera department.

Battery

The battery is bigger on the iQOO Neo7, which is able to provide longer battery life in several scenarios. On the other hand, the OnePlus 10T charges quicker thanks to 150W fast charging against just 120W.

Price

The iQOO Neo7 starts from about €380 or $380, while the OnePlus 10T begins at $599 or €600. Which one would you pick?
