Samsung Galaxy S20 v/s OnePlus 7T Pro: Which is better?
Samsung's latest flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S20 is now available in India. The vanilla model comes with a premium design, a high-quality screen, top-of-the-line cameras, and flagship-grade internals. But is it worth the premium price tag or should you consider a flagship killer like the OnePlus-7t-pro'>OnePlus 7T Pro that holds enough value for money despite missing out on some features?
Galaxy S20 v/s OnePlus 7T Pro: Design
The S20 comes with a punch-hole design, featuring ultra-slim bezels, and a premium metal-glass construction. It has IP68-rated protection, making it water-resistant up to 1.5m for up to 30 minutes. In comparison, the 7T Pro has an all-screen design, curved edges, and matte-finished glass body. The notch-less, hole-less display allows for an unhampered view, but there is no official IP-rated protection. Winner: You decide.
All about the screen
The S20 sports a 6.2-inch QHD+ AMOLED display with a pixel density of 563ppi and an aspect ratio of 20:9. The display also comes with HDR10+ certification and supports a high refresh rate of 120Hz for smooth scrolling and fluid screen animations. The OnePlus 7T Pro has a slightly bigger 6.67-inch QHD+ AMOLED screen with HDR10+ support and 90Hz refresh rate. Winner: S20.
For the shutterbugs and selfie lovers
The S20 comes with a 12MP main sensor, 64MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom, and 12MP ultra-wide-angle sensor. The setup supports 8K video recording at 24fps. On the front, there is a 10MP selfie snapper. The 7T Pro has a 48MP main sensor, 8MP (3x zoom) telephoto lens, and 16MP ultra-wide-angle lens. Up front, it has a 16MP pop-up selfie camera. Winner: S20.
Under the hood
The S20 is powered by the flagship Snapdragon 865 or Exynos 990 chipset (depending on the region), paired with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of built-in storage (expandable via microSD card). On the other hand, the OnePlus 7T Pro comes with the Snapdragon 855 Plus processor, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of non-expandable storage. Winner: S20 for its latest chipset and expandable storage support.
Battery to Biometrics
The S20 packs a 4,000mAh battery which supports 25W wired fast-charging, 15W wireless charging, and 9W reverse wireless charging. In comparison, the 7T Pro has a 4,085mAh battery which supports only 30W wired charging. Further, both the handsets come with in-screen fingerprint readers. But the Samsung flagship has an ultrasonic sensor while the OnePlus handset gets an optical reader. Winner: Galaxy S20.
Pricing: The key factor
The Samsung Galaxy S20 is priced at Rs. 66,999 in India for the solo 8GB/128GB model while the OnePlus 7T Pro costs Rs. 53,999 for the 8GB/256GB configuration.
How things stack up?
The S20 is a more complete flagship with some generous features and specifications. If wireless charging, water-proofing, and absolute high-end camera performance is something you can't compromise with, then you should buy the S20. However, if you don't wish to stretch your budget from around Rs. 55,000 to Rs. 70,000, go for the OnePlus 7T Pro. But the winner is surely the Galaxy S20.
