We’ve compared these phones to help you decide whether you should save some money and get the OnePlus 10 Pro, or go for Samsung’s more expensive phone instead.
OnePlus has recently launched the OnePlus 10 Pro. It packs a lot of interesting specifications and features, making it one of the best Android smartphones you can buy for under $1,000 right now. But you might wonder whether your money is better spent on a different and flagship smartphone: The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. We’ve compared both of these phones to help you decide whether you should save some money and get the OnePlus 10 Pro, or go for Samsung’s more expensive offering instead. The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra looks more like a device from the company’s Note series, rather than a member of the S22 range. Being about 9mm thick and weighing 228 grams, it’s a bulky and heavy mobile. Also, it’s wider than most of the smartphones out there, making it hard for people with small hands to use it with just one of them. The OnePlus 10 Pro’s dimensions in comparison are all but similar to its predecessor, the OnePlus 9 Pro. It’s somewhat lighter, thinner, and narrower than Samsung’s phone; however, it still feels chunky to hold — especially for people with tiny hands. Both these phones look quite different from the rear. The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra’s cameras don’t sit in a dedicated module and are housed directly on the phone’s back panel. In contrast, the OnePlus 10 Pro has a big camera module at the rear with Hasselblad branding on the left side. On the front, both smartphones use an HDR 10+ certified screen with LTPO 2.0 technology, for an adaptive refresh rate of 1Hz to 120Hz. These are among the best displays you’ll find on smartphones available today. The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra sports a 6.8-inch dynamic AMOLED panel with a screen resolution of 3088 x 1440 pixels. Its peak brightness touches a maximum of 1,750 nits, so using the phone under direct sunlight should be fine. OnePlus’s display is no less impressive either. It comes equipped with a negligibly smaller 6.7-inch fluid AMOLED screen with a screen resolution of 3216 x 1440 pixels. You don’t get S22 Ultra-like crazy high brightness levels, but it goes up to a respectable 1,300 nits. To protect your smartphone from scratches and minor drops, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra boasts the latest Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+ protection on both the back and front sides. The OnePlus 10 Pro, on the other hand, comes with Gorilla Glass Victus on the front and Gorilla Glass 5 on the rear. Also, the Galaxy S22 Ultra has an IP68 rating for protection against dust and water. The OnePlus 10 Pro also has an IP68 rating, but only if you purchase it from T-Mobile.
