Design

If your goal is to get a beautiful and elegant design, then there is no doubt: you should go for the OPPO Reno9 Pro. It is a lot more elegant with its refined finish on the rear side and very narrow bezels around the display. Further, it is one of the thinnest and most lightweight phones available in the whole smartphone market. Indeed, it is just 7.2 mm thin and weighs just 174 grams. The Realme GT Neo 3 is more interesting if you are looking for a  more sportive phone: its glass back has a painting with two vertical stripes like sports cars. But it is thicker, lighter, and less elegant than its opponent, and it could be better only for gamers.

Display

It looks like the OPPO Reno9 Pro and the Realme GT Neo 3 are equipped with the same display panel because the specifications on the paper are exactly the same. We are referring to an AMOLED panel able to show up to one billion colors. It has a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2412 pixels, a 120 Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ certification, a peak brightness of 950 nits, and an in-display fingerprint reader. The phones come with different protections for the displays: Asahi Glass AGC DT-Star 2 and Gorilla Glass 5, respectively. Note that the Realme GT Neo 3 is the only one with stereo speakers, so it offers an improved audio experience. On the other hand, the OPPO Reno 9 Pro sports an infrared sensor allowing you to use the phone as a remote control for your TV.

Specs & Software

Besides having the same displays, the OPPO Reno9 and the Realme GT Neo 3 also share the same processor. It is a Dimensity 8100 Max mobile platform: one of the best processors by Mediatek. The chipset is built with a 5 nm production process and sports an octa-core architecture including two Cortex A78 performance cores running at a max frequency of 2.85 GHz, four Cortex A55 CPUs running at 2 GHz, and a Mali G610 MC6 GPU. The OPPO Reno9 Pro wins the hardware comparison because it sports a higher quantity of RAM: 16 GB instead of just 12 GB, with up to 512 GB of native storage. Further, it is the only one shipping with Android 13 out of the box, even though the Realme GT Neo 3 already received Android 13 through a software update.

Camera

The OPPO Reno9 Pro has a better main camera sensor on the rear side, but unfortunately, it lacks optical stabilization. The Realme GT Neo 3 has a slightly inferior main camera, but it has optical stabilization allowing it to capture better shots in adverse conditions. The Reno9 Pro wins the selfie comparison because it sports a better 32 MP front shooter instead of just 16 MP found on the front side of the GT Neo 3.

Battery

The Realme GT Neo3 comes in two variants: one with a 4500 mAh battery and 150W fast charging and one with a 5000 mAh battery and 80W fast charging. The OPPO Reno9 Pro sports a 4500 mAh battery and it supports 67W fast charging. Both the variants of the GT Neo3 charge quicker than the OPPO Reno 9 Pro, while the 5000 mAh variant has a bigger battery and a longer battery life as well.

Price

The starting price of the Realme GT Neo3 roughly translates to $350 or €332 at the actual change (8/128 GB), while you need at least $495 or €470 in order to grab a unit of the OPPO Reno9 Pro (16/256 GB). The Reno 9 Pro is a superior phone, but with a higher price.
