We’ve compared both these smartphones to find out how they fare against each other so that you can choose which one’s best for you.
OnePlus recently launched the OnePlus 10 Pro, its flagship smartphone for 2022. It succeeds the company’s last year’s OnePlus 9 Pro, offering certain improvements and specification bumps. If you’re already rocking a OnePlus 9 Pro and thinking of upgrading, the OnePlus 10 Pro could be on top of your list. Or, considering the OnePlus 9 Pro has received some price cuts recently, you might be thinking of getting it over the newer OnePlus 10 Pro. Whatever the reason, we’ve compared both these smartphones to find out how they fare against each other so you can choose which one’s best for you. The front side of the OnePlus 10 Pro and the OnePlus 9 Pro don’t see many differences, as both smartphones look quite similar, with big curved displays and a punch-hole camera in the top-left corner. There are many more differences on the back, though. The OnePlus 9 Pro has a tall, rectangular camera bump, with four camera sensors and horizontal Hasselblad branding. The OnePlus 10 Pro’s camera module is comparatively bigger, as it extends to the left side of the smartphone. Also, it houses one less camera sensor, and the Hasselblad branding sits vertically on the extreme left. Talking about the front side again, you get 6.7-inch Fluid AMOLED panels on these phones with HDR10+ certification and a screen resolution of 1440 x 3216 pixels. The displays are vibrant, sharp, and produce bright and deep colors. Furthermore, thanks to a 1,300 nits peak brightness, both these smartphones can be easily used outdoors under direct sunlight. There are some minor differences in the screens of these mobiles. The OnePlus 9 Pro uses an LTPO panel, whereas the OnePlus 10 Pro uses a newer LTPO 2.0 panel. Both provide an adaptive refresh rate of 1Hz to 120Hz. However, the latter provides faster adjustments to refresh rate and helps the phone to offer better battery consumption. The Gorilla Glass used on these smartphones makes up for another difference — the OnePlus 9 Pro gets Gorilla Glass 5 protection on both the front and the rear, whereas the OnePlus 10 Pro has newer Gorilla Glass Victus on the front and Gorilla Glass 5 on the back. In addition, you get an IP68 rating on these smartphones, though OnePlus doesn’t like to brag about this achievement. It’s worth noting that only the T-Mobile version of the OnePlus 10 Pro is IP certified, but the protection should be akin no matter where you buy it from. Since there aren’t many differences and both smartphones are almost similar on all these fronts, this round’s a draw.
