A few weeks ago, OPPO launched a new flagship from the Reno series: the OPPO Reno9 Pro Plus. With its very advanced hardware department, it is one of the most powerful phones you can currently find on the market. Yet it does not belong to the most expensive price range. However, it is not the only choice in its price range, as there is another handset from OPPO’s sub-brand which may fit your needs if you are looking for it: the OnePlus Ace Pro, also known in the global market as the OnePlus 10T. If you are a gamer or a power user, you will like these phones very much but it may also be hard for you to choose. That is why we decided to publish this comparison between the main specifications of the OnePlus Ace Pro (or 10T) and the OPPO Reno9 Pro Plus.

Design

Well, if your goal is to obtain the most impressive design you can buy, then there is no doubt: you should go for the OPPO Reno9 Pro Plus without thinking twice. It is built with a glass back and an aluminum frame, and it has a very innovative look, with an elegant camera module sporting the same color as the rest of the rear side, as well as a curved screen at the sides with a punch hole placed centrally. The OnePlus Ace Pro is pretty good with its glass back, but it is not among the most beautiful phones out there. Further, the OPPO is a lot thinner and lighter, with a thickness of just 8 mm and a weight of 192 grams (against 8.8 mm and 203 grams of its rival). So, as we already said, Reno is undoubtedly the most beautiful.

Display

It looks like the OnePlus Ace Pro and the OPPO Reno9 Pro Plus are equipped with the same display panel because the specifications are the same. The only difference between these two displays is the curvature present at the sides of the OPPO Reno9 Pro Plus, but for the rest, they are identical. We are talking about an AMOLED panel able to show up to one billion colors and sporting a diagonal of 6.7 inches, a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2412 pixels, a 120 Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ certification, a peak brightness of 800 nits, and an in-display fingerprint reader. Both phones come with stereo speakers too. So, if you are trying to evaluate these two devices, focus on the other specifications.

Specs & Software

At first glance, the hardware departments of these phones look the same. They are both powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 mobile platform by Qualcomm built with a 4 nm production process and sporting an octa-core architecture composed of a Cortex X2 CPU, three Cortex A710 CPUs, four Cortex A510 CPUs, and an Adreno 730 GPU. In their most expensive configurations, there are 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of UFS 3.1 native storage. The difference is the clock frequency of the processor: the OPPO Reno9 Pro Plus has an underclocked CPU, with a max frequency of 3 GHz, while the OnePlus Ace Pro has the standard frequency of the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, so 3.19 GHz. This means you should get slightly better performance with the OnePlus Ace Pro. On the other hand, the OPPO Reno9 Pro Plus ships with Android 13 out of the box instead of Android 12, and we think this detail is more important.

Camera

The camera setup of the OPPO Reno9 Pro Plus is superior. Even though the resolutions are the same, the main sensors are different. The OPPO Reno9 Pro+ is equipped with the new Sony IMX890 50 MP sensor with OIS, while the OnePlus Ace Pro still uses the Sony IMX766. Further, Reno is supported by the MariSilicon X proprietary NPU, while its rival is not.

Battery

The OnePlus Ace Pro packs a slightly bigger battery, with a capacity of 4800 mAh. Further, it charges quicker thanks to 150W fast charging.

Price

The starting price of the OnePlus Ace Pro in China roughly translates into €500/$527, while you need about $650/€617 in order to purchase the OPPO Reno9 Pro Plus. The latter is a superior phone due to a better camera setup and a better design, but the OnePlus has a superior chipset, a slightly bigger battery, and faster charging. Which one would you pick?
