OnePlus 5T vs Honor View 10: The Battle of Budget Flagships

When it comes to Android flagships, the commencement names that come to the mind are Google's Pixels and Samsung's high-end Galaxies, which charge handsomely for the class-defining smartphone experience they offer. Simply there is besides another league of smartphones- christened 'the affordable flagships'- which offer the aforementioned fluid experience without any compromises, however, they don't burn down a pigsty in our pockets. OnePlus pioneered the budget flagship segment, and soon, the category was saturated by devices from the likes of Xiaomi, Laurels and Nokia.

Nosotros recently reviewed 2 such devices- the OnePlus 5T and the Honor View x– and every bit expected, they proved to be excellent smartphones which make piffling to no compromises when it comes to offer the maximum bangs, and and then some more than, for their price tag. But one can never claim the superiority of one beast over the other ane unless they are pitted against each other. So without any further ado, allow'southward swoop straight into the battlefield and see which device emerges the winner, the OnePlus 5T or the Accolade View 10!

Pattern and Build Quality

I am a huge fan of metallic build on smartphones, but that only makes it tougher to cull a favorite between the OnePlus 5T and the Award View 10, as both of them are carved out of metallic and are absolutely stunning to await at and use. But if you are torn between the two, permit me simplify it for you. Y'all can't go wrong with any of these 2 devices,  however, your aesthetic taste and style preference tin bear upon your decision. How?

Well, the OnePlus 5T features a super-sleek, unibody metal build, which is all about minimalism from the become-go. Be it the premium in-hand experience of a well-crafted device or the deep blackness paint chore, which can put Neo from the Matrix trilogy to shame in the fashion department. Another peachy thing almost the OnePlus 5T'due south build is the fingerprint sensor'southward placement on the rear panel, which is the ideal place where the index finger normally rests. So, unlocking the device after picking it up or authenticating payments, opening secure folders, etc. is a breeze, as yous don't have to shift the smartphone in your hands to reach for the sensor embedded in the dwelling button.

When information technology comes to the Honor flagship, the Huawei subsidiary absolutely knocked information technology out of the park with the Honor View 10's build quality, cheers to its clean appearance, rounded edges and the pleasant matte finish. A few users might notice the fingerprint sensor embedded in the abode push a bit difficult to reach, every bit the Honor View 10 is undoubtedly a tall device, but and then, it varies from user to user. Only one qualm I have with the Honor View x is the rear photographic camera'south protrusion, equally the sensors are surrounded past metallic rings which have sharp edges and extend out quite a bit. It is present on the OnePlus 5T too, but in the Award View 10's example, the protruding camera sensors are much more pronounced. So, application of a protective dorsum encompass (which is already provided in the device's retail box) is strongly advised, unless you desire to scratch your shiny new flaghsip.

Equally far as color options become, the OnePlus 5T is currently available in three shades viz. Black, Reddish and White, while on the other mitt, the Honour View x can be purchased in a wider palette of colors which include Black, Blueish, Red and Gold. While the Honor View 10 might give you more color options to cull from, the OnePlus 5T's hue choices are rather limited, but do go on in listen that the white OnePlus 5T offers a sandstone finish, which in my personal opinion, feels much better to concord.

Display

The brandish fitted in both the devices is of two different types- AMOLED and LCD- which have their own set of pros and cons, and then it boils down to the users to choose betwixt the two of them. Therefore, I am going to briefly describe them and discuss their respective benefits and drawbacks to make it easier for yous to make a definite pick, depending on their alignment with your liking.

The OnePlus 5T is equipped with a 6-inch Optic AMOLED 1080 x 2160 brandish with an 18:9 aspect ratio. The screen looks gorgeous, and its visual appeal is intensified further by the minimal bezels and the uniform, symmetrical design. However, a taller display means it will be a cumbersome experience for users with smaller easily to attain the screen's top corners without adjusting the device's position.

Talking about output, the OnePlus 5T's AMOLED console undoubtedly offers deeper blacks and college contrast for a more lively color reproduction with superior viewing angles, and information technology is nothing short of a visual treat when it comes to watching high-quality videos. Withal, being an AMOLED panel, brandish burn down-in comes along every bit an inevitable evil, but its occurrence is quite rare. Moreover, the OnePlus 5T's brandish is not water resistant either, so if you want to keep the OnePlus 5T'due south pixels from getting fried, better avert taking pool selfies.

The Honor View ten, on the other hand, packs a v.99-inch, 2160 x 1080 LTPS IPS LCD display, whose resolution can be toned down to 1440×720 for saving some battery juice. However, the Honor View ten's display does NOT have any kind of protective layer, which is one surface area where the OnePlus 5T emerges victorious with its Gorilla Glass 5 protected screen.

Longevity aside, I felt the Honor View 10'southward LCD brandish perform slightly better under direct sunlight, producing cleaner whites than the OnePlus 5T's AMOLED panel whose white color was a bit warmer when compared to the Honor View 10's display. Moreover, the OnePlus 5T's AMOLED screen will be slightly more taxing on the battery than the Laurels View 10's brandish if information technology is used at high brightness levels, as LCDs are more frugal when it comes to ability consumption. Therefore, the Accolade device can last a fleck longer on the aforementioned amount of accuse compared to the OnePlus 5T.

Photographic camera

The OnePlus 5T has received glowing reviews for its photography prowess, thank you to its highly capable dual rear camera set up-upwards, which consists of a main 16MP sensor and a secondary 20MP sensor with f/one.7 aperture, while a 16MP unit takes intendance of the selfies. On paper, the OnePlus 5T's photography credentials appear rock solid, and much to the delight of users, information technology performs like a gnaw in existent life too, capturing superior grade low-low-cal shots and reasonably practiced selfies with authentic colors. Moreover, the device is capable of recording expert quality 4K videos at 30fps and 1080p videos at 60fps, but the lack of OIS is something that yous won't hands feel as the EIS does a pretty good job of compensating for its absence.

On the other mitt, the Honor View 10 packs a 16MP + 20MP rear camera set-up and a 13MP front end camera, which produces images with excellent sharpness levels and rich colors. The Accolade View 10's portrait style implementation is something worth talking nearly, as the AI-assisted portrait way on this smartphone brings out excellent mistiness and depth effects, without agonizing the object'southward natural colour. However, low-light shots are satisfactory at all-time, as the aggressive image optimization by the device's AI sometimes lowers the details.

When pitted confronting each other, this is how the rivals perform in the photography department:

The depth result created by the Accolade View 10 (epitome higher up) is absolutely stunning, every bit it captures high levels of detail, and the excellent blur effect further enhances the object's vibrancy. On the other paw, the OnePlus 5T's portrait fashion skills (sample below) is not upward to the same level as the Accolade View x's, since its blur effect is questionably weak and the focus lock is unsatisfactory likewise.

The following sample once more showcases the superior blur effect created by the Honor View ten's photographic camera as well as its excellent color reproduction. On the other hand, the portrait shots clicked with the OnePlus 5T showroom insufficient depth of field and slightly inaccurate colors with a done out appearance.

When it comes to low-low-cal photography, the OnePlus 5T takes the Accolade View ten dorsum to school, every bit the images captured by the OnePlus flagship contain a lot of item and are sharp, whereas those clicked by the Honor View 10 suffer from aggressive smoothing, which ends up reducing the amount of detail.

The same low light failure of the Honour View x's camera tin exist witnessed here too, as its inbuilt AI takes a toll on the particular attribute of photographs in its bid to reduce noise. The OnePlus 5T doesn't perform aggressive noise reduction, which is why, the depression light shots captured by the OnePlus 5T, despite being grainy, contain a lot more item.

Selfies captured past both the smartphones are good, just the OnePlus 5T takes the crown hither with sharper pictures that have more natural looking colors.

Operation

As far as operation is concerned, neither of the devices is a slouch in whatever way, instead, they absolutely crush any task you throw at them. The reason? Their top-of-the-line processors and the generous corporeality of RAM to help them ace any action. While the OnePlus 5T'south Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 is a bonafide animal and may appear to be the winner on paper here, the Honor View 10'due south HiSilicon Kirin 970 processor has proven itself to exist a venerable performer also.

Let's have a expect at the benchmark scores of the ii flagship killers and run across how well they perform in synthetic performance tests with their 'Kirin 970 + 6GB RAM' and 'Snapdragon 835 + 8GB RAM' configurations.

Equally is evident from the benchmark scores, both the devices are cervix-to-cervix in Geekbench 4 cess, even so, the gap widens in the AnTuTu test, which saw the OnePlus 5T getting ahead of the Accolade View 10 by a significant margin, thanks to the extra 2GB of RAM at its disposal.

But as you might know, benchmark tests do non e'er reflect the truthful capability of a device, so I conducted an app speed examination of my ain to compare the real-earth performance of both the devices. In the cess, I tested out nine apps ranging from lightweight apps like gallery, YouTube and Google Maps to heavy games similar Injustice: Gods Amidst The states and Shadow Fight 3, to compare how fast they load and reload after minimizing them.

In the speed examination, the OnePlus 5T opened the ix apps, ane after the other, in 1 minute and ten seconds, while the Honor View ten did the same in 1 infinitesimal and 11 seconds. When it came to reloading the minimized apps in the same order, the OnePlus 5T achieved it in 1 minute and 46 seconds, with the timer having never stopped. Nevertheless, the Accolade View 10 lagged backside by just three seconds, finishing the test in 1 minute and 49 seconds. But allow me be very clear, the narrow defeat suffered past the Honour View ten doesn't hateful that its a slow device by whatever means, as it performed at the aforementioned level every bit the OnePlus 5T on nearly every ground, exist information technology intensive gaming or moderate usage.

Battery

You tin, and should, never make compromises on battery chapters when buying a smartphone, especially if you are a power user and are purchasing a flagship device to brand the nearly out of it. This is ane expanse where the Honor View 10 outperforms the OnePlus 5T past a significant margin, as the Award View 10 packs a beefier iii,750 mAh lithium-ion battery, while the OnePlus 5T is equipped with a smaller 3,300 mAh unit.

But it'southward not merely the mAh numbers where the OnePlus 5T loses points, information technology too appears to exist at a disadvantage in the utility scenario, because its smaller battery has to sustain the significantly more than power-hungry AMOLED screen. The OnePlus 5T lags behind in twenty-four hour period-to-day usage too, as the device could barely manage 4.v hours of screen-on fourth dimension on full charge, while the Honor View 10 outlasted it by a significant margin, delivering 5-half dozen hours of continuous screen action when juiced up fully.

Still, the OnePlus 5T more than makes upwardly for its smaller battery with super fast charging speed, cheers to its Dash Charging technology,which takes the battery from 0%-75% in merely 35 minutes. Even though the Honour View ten boasts of a quick charging engineering science of its ain, it is nowhere equally fast every bit the OnePlus 5T's, every bit the one-time'south charging speed is insufficiently dull and information technology could fill the battery just up to the l% marking in 45 minutes.

Software

Software is 1 area which might prove to be the decisive factor for potential buyers who are torn between the OnePlus 5T and the Laurels View 10. If you are an Android purist and similar the no-fuss-no-frills experience of vanilla Android, the OnePlus 5T is the best selection for you, thank you to the clean UI offered by Oxygen OS 4.7.2 running on top of Android vii.i.1 Nougat. The rest of the software is the usual OnePlus affair with nifty optimization controls and a lot more.

On the other hand, if you are feeling adventurous and want to try an OS that is heavily integrated with AI-based features, and so the Accolade View 10's heavily skinned EMUI viii.0.0 based on Android eight.0.0 Oreo is perfect for you. Notwithstanding, the machine learning-based tricks broiled into EMUI, which were aggressively advertised past Huawei upon its launch, are far from just marketing jargon, as they allow the device to learn the usage habit of users over fourth dimension, and starts allocating resources to sure apps and functions accordingly. So what does that exactly hateful? To put it simply, if yous utilize an app or part on a frequent basis, the device will eventually speed up the procedure of opening and loading it over time, and will likewise dish out most used options for user's convenience.

Still, the Honor View ten, with its Android Oreo-based Bone, is ahead of the OnePlus 5T, which is all the same stuck on Android 7.1.1 Nougat. However, the rollout of Android eight.0 Oreo for the OnePlus 5T has officially begun through the beta channel, then a public release is just round the corner.
