Winner: Reno 10x Zoom for its super zoom periscope lens.
For the selfie lovers
Up front, the Reno 10x Zoom comes with a 16MP selfie camera with an f/2.0 aperture while the OnePlus 7 Pro also gets the same 16MP (f/2.0) sensor. Winner: Well, it is a clear tie.
Under the hood
Both OnePlus 7 Pro and Reno 10x Zoom are powered by Snapdragon 855 chipset, paired upto 12GB RAM (upto 8GB RAM on OPPO's offering) and 128GB/256GB of internal storage. However, the OnePlus flagship has an upper hand, thanks to its much faster UFS 3.0 storage format and a dedicated 10-layer liquid cooling system. Winner: OnePlus 7 Pro for its flagship grade internals.
Battery and other features
The OnePlus 7 Pro gets a 4,000mAh battery with 30W Speed Warp fast charging support whereas Reno 10x Zoom offers a 4,065mAh battery with 20W VOOC 3.0 fast charging technology.

Pricing: The key factor
In India, the OnePlus 7 Pro starts at Rs. 48,999 for the 6GB/128GB model and goes upto Rs. 57,999 for the 12GB/256GB variant. On the other hand, the Reno 10x Zoom costs Rs. 39,990 for the 6GB/128GB variant and Rs. 49,990 for the 8GB/256GB model.
How things stack up?
There is no denying that OnePlus 7 Pro is a top-notch performer thanks to its brilliant display, respectable cameras, and unmatchable speed.
