iPhone 14 Pro vs OnePlus 10 Pro: Design

Starting our comparison with the design, you’ll see that the back of the iPhone 14 Pro doesn’t look much different from its predecessor. There are no changes to the square-edged design, and the smartphone still comes with the same stainless steel rails and ceramic shield protection on both the front and back. Among the changes, however, are some new colors and a 48 MP primary sensor.

On the other hand, the OnePlus 10 Pro comes with a design similar to the Samsung Galaxy flagships. OnePlus has created a camera array that blends in with the metal side frame of the smartphone. Unlike the iPhone 14 Pro, which has a flat back.

The back of the OnePlus 10 Pro is curved, making it easier to hold in the hand. Talking about the build of the OnePlus 10 Pro, it is worth noting that the company has used Gorilla Glass Victus on the front. However, the back panel still uses Gorilla Glass 5. You can this get phone from its official website.

iPhone 14 Pro vs OnePlus 10 Pro: Display

As for the display, the OnePlus 10 Pro features a 6.7-inch perforated display. In comparison, the iPhone 14 Pro features a much smaller 6.1-inch panel. Despite the iPhone 14 Pro’s Dynamic Island notch, the OnePlus 10 Pro has a higher screen-to-body ratio of 90 percent, even with a larger chin.

Both smartphones feature display panels with large contrast ratios, 120 Hz adaptive refresh rate and high resolution. Since the panel can now go down to 1 Hz, Apple has finally added always-on mode to the iPhone 14 Pro. In contrast, OnePlus smartphones, including the OnePlus 10 Pro, have had this feature for quite some time. You can get this phone from its official website.

iPhone 14 Pro vs OnePlus 10 Pro: Degree camera

The iPhone is packed with cameras, including a 48-megapixel wide-angle sensor, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle sensor and a 12-megapixel telephoto sensor. All three sensors have greatly improved low-light performance. The iPhone can also capture 4K video at 60 fps and cinematic mode in 4K at up to 24 fps.

The OnePlus 10 Pro also has a 48-megapixel wide-angle sensor, but it’s paired with an 8-megapixel telephoto sensor and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle sensor with a huge 150-degree FOV for really wide shots. We found the OnePlus 10 Pro’s results to be good and the sensors versatile, but colors aren’t as vibrant as we’ve seen on other phones’ cameras and detail suffers in low-light conditions.

iPhone 14 Pro vs OnePlus 10 Pro: portrait mode

Both phones can take portraits at 1x and 2x zoom levels, but the iPhone 14 Pro can also deploy its telephoto camera to take bokeh photos at 3x magnification. The difference in quality is again easily noticeable.

The iPhone 14 Pro offers natural colors with sharper subject separation and a more natural depth effect. And if you look closely behind each hair, you’ll see that the OnePlus 10 Pro aggressively blurs the hair and misses with the bokeh effect by leaving a bit of the background unburied.

Which one should you buy?

The OnePlus 10 Pro starts strong with a capable main camera, producing sharp photos with an eye-pleasing saturation profile and impressive night modem results. It even manages to beat the iPhone in ultra-panoramic photography on a few parameters, but Apple’s computational photography skills are far ahead.

However, the iPhone 14 Pro really crushes its OnePlus rival in zoom output and delivers portrait shots that are much richer in detail with excellent edge separation. The front camera’s autofocus selfies are also in a league of their own, while the OnePlus 10 Pro’s front camera could really use some color and algorithm tweaking.

FAQS

Why should I buy an iPhone over OnePlus?

Apple clearly offers better quality technology than OnePlus. But it comes with a hefty price tag. OnePlus, on the other hand, offers all the technology you’d want in a modern smartphone at a reasonable retail price. So there is no clear winner between OnePlus and iPhone when it comes to technology.

Who is better OnePlus or Apple?

In terms of screen size and resolution, the OnePlus 11 has the upper hand. Its 6.7-inch panel maxes out at 3216×1440, while the 6.1-inch iPhone 14 Pro goes up to 2556×1179. Both are OLED, though OnePlus uses AMOLED and Apple XDR OLED technology.

Is it worth to upgrade to OnePlus 10 Pro?

It should continue to receive security patches for another year, but don’t expect Android 13 or feature updates. To that end, it might make sense to upgrade to the OnePlus 10 Pro, while these older phones still have some resale value.
