is getting officially announced today in China with a global release later next month. The company's latest and greatest attempt is shaping up to be a monster, bringing many upgrades and pushing the boundaries.
has a lot going on and is promising a lot of things to be excited about. Now, Apple has already lifted the curtain before its latestbe good enough to compete with the big boys? Today we're gonna compare it to the best that Apple can offer, theis technically still under wraps, but thanks to the latest leaks and rumors, we know almost everything about this exciting new phone.first appeared in some leaked renders and marketing material, but now OnePlus itself has shared a couple of teasers on its social accounts and on the official site. So, we know how this phone will look. The square-ish camera bump on the back looks suspiciously similar to what you can find on the back of the new, but it might just be a coincidence. Other than that, we're talking about the same glass-and-metal sandwich design, with flat sides, front and back. It's a popular design choice and a unification that the big three found themselves in. Now it seems that OnePlus is joining this party with the claiming the phone will be 8.1 mm thick and between 211 and 215 grams heavy . brought its fair share of changes to the table, introducing the new"extended plateau" camera housing that has been polarizing fans ever since. Apple ditched the titanium frame for an aluminum unibody design, and speaking of materials, the OnePlus is rumored to bring another change. The phone is expected to feature a new type of "aerospace-grade nano-ceramic metal" midframe, claimed to be stronger than titanium, stainless steel, and aluminum, but we need to wait until the Chinese launch of the phone to confirm or deny this rumor.in the leaked marketing materials, and it's the most interesting one as well. It's called Sand Storm. There are three more hues rumored—purple, titanium, and black. Themight feature some upgrades. The refresh rate is believed to be 165Hz, and there's a rumor OnePlus is going to use a BOE panel with X3 material for the display of the phone. This could bring some brightness improvements compared to the previous generation. We're probably looking at the same 1.5K resolution though., on the other hand, features a slightly bigger 6.9-inch OLED panel with a resolution of 1320 x 2868 pixels and around 460 PPI pixel density. In our display test, the phone managed to produce 2689 nits of brightness at 20% APL - one of the highest results we've ever recorded, so the- as slim as 1.15 mm. The same ultrasonic fingerprint reader from last generation is expected to be found under the screen. In comparison, Apple and the, as well as information from Qualcomm, we know the exact chip inside the upcoming flagship. It's slightly confusing, as it's not the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 but the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. to clear the confusion but long story short, we're not back on track with the"Gen" labels but the"Elite" will remain as well because Qualcomm says all of its chips are"elite" now. Apple relies on its in-house developed A19 Pro silicon, and even though the company was at the top of most of the synthetic benchmarks, the new Snapdragon might give it a serious run for its money. Some early benchmarks even put the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 in front of the A19 Pro. Benchmarks to follow shortly.When it comes to RAM, iPhones have always been doing things a bit differently because of the closed ecosystem and better optimization. That's why 12GB of RAM on theOnePlus offers a wide range of RAM and storage configurations. Last year the company even launched a 24GB version of theis expected to start with 12GB of RAM in its most basic configurations and offer 16GB on upper-tier models. , and we expect the same 4-year software support cycle as the previous two generations. Apple made a big overhaul and change of the nomenclature withis expected to feature a very similar camera system to its predecessor, consisting of three 50MP cameras. The same Sony LYT-700 will most likely make appearance under the main F/1.8 lens, coupled with two 1/2.75" Samsung JN5 sensors under the ultrawide and the telephoto cameras.Pro - three 48MP cameras are on duty at the back, while the front features a redesigned 18MP selfie camera which can take horizontal and vertical photos without the need to physically turn the phone.is 156 , which is near the top in our composite camera benchmark score. Given the result of thebut we'll have to wait and do the lab tests first. Of course, we'll snap some side-by-side samples for reference as well.We now live in the silicon-carbon battery era, and OnePlus was one of the first companies to bring that tech outside China. The previous generation featured a 6,000 mAh cell inside, and get this - thecomes in two flavors, depending on the presence or absence of a physical SIM slot. The eSIM model features a 5,088 mAh battery, while the nanoSIM version has a 4,823 mAh one on board. We've tested the EU model with a physical SIM and a smaller battery and got a 7h 46m battery estimate, putting the phone at 36th place among phones tested in the past two years. We're pretty sure theOnePlus is at the forefront when it comes to charging, up there with Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, and Honor. The speeds the company offers are pushing 100W. Theis expected to support up to 120W of wired charging power, but it might be restricted in the US or in Europe due to regulations.features a tad faster charging compared to its predecessor and in our test was able to fill its battery from zero to full in 1 hour and 16 minutes. We're pretty sure theOnePlus coined the term"flagship killer" back in the OnePlus One days. Since then the company has moved into a different area and now occupies the ultra-premium smartphone segment. Theis shaping up to be a great phone with the fastest silicon and biggest battery in an Android to date. ? More information is needed before we pass a final judgment on that.
