iPhone 11 vs OnePlus 7T: Not so fast… By Jon Rettinger

Very rarely do you get an opportunity like this phones seem to come out every few months, but not that often do you get to high-end. Almost flagship phones come out within weeks of each other, but we've got it now. The iPhone 11 and the OnePlus 70 are here and on paper they are very similar devices at lower price points than their big brother counterparts, they're, bringing a ton of punch and power to the table, so I wanted to take both of those compare them head-to-head. Let's pick a winner. I've got on record as saying screen is one of the most important factors of a phone to me. Prep second, to that, though, is how the phones feel and if you take a combination of glass and metal put them together.

You'd expect two devices that feel similar in the hand. It's actually not the case when you compare the 70 with the iPhone 1170 feels good in the hand. It's not a bad feeling phone and feels significant. The aspect ratio makes it feel kind of long. You pick up the iPhone, and maybe it's something psychosomatic, or maybe it's an inert bias in me, but the phone feels incredible in the hand from the weight to the size.

The phone feels amazing. They did turn the screens on and the gap between those two is drastic, and I'm. Not just talking AMOLED on the OnePlus versus LCD on the iPhone. The LCD pad on the iPhone is a very good LCD panel. Despite the resolution being subbed 1080, it looks very good for any screen, but the screen on the OnePlus just looks so much better than pretty much any other screen up scene on pretty much any other phone.

It's one of the few out there with a 90 Hertz of refresh rate, if you've never seen a fella 90 Hertz refresh rate the best way that I could describe it. As looking at content, that's HD versus non HD. It is that Jurassic, it doesn't detract from what you can do. You can still do the same stuff on the phone things just look smoother. Theoretically, you can sort of better frame rates for gaming, but just doing things on the OnePlus are a pleasure to use, and you get used to it if you switch something that doesn't have that refresh rate, and it becomes very obvious now- certainly you'd get used to not having it and probably wouldn't notice it after a while, but putting these two side-by-side I, don't care how bright the iPhone screen can get.

It doesn't come close to touching the beautiful display. That's on the OnePlus 17. What you're getting for the dollar in the OnePlus is crazy. You're getting Ferrari specs for let's say Camry prices on the phone you're, getting the Snapdragon 855, plus eight gigs ram 128 gigs of storage, which is double the entry point for the iPhone 11 kind of double-edged sword: I'm I'm trying not to get too caught up on just specs. It's the experience, but then I also really want to talk about the specs that you're getting for the OnePlus 70.

You know the e 55 plus and the 8 gigs ram. The 13 on the iPhone 11 is incredibly powerful, but then you're only getting four gigs of ram on there as well boils down to in real-world usage, so doing everyday tasks and playing games they're both perfect and very quick phones. So right off the bat you might think the OnePlus has the edge in the camera department. It's got three. It looks like the best part of Total Recall and adds that telephoto camera that the iPhone 11 just doesn't happen.

Nowadays, though, the hardware is only part of it. A lot of the camera quality comes out to software, and when you open the camera app, you can tell the competition's going to be closed. Overall, the image qualities that come out of the OnePlus tend to look a bit more processed and higher contrast. Ii on the iPhone they're definitely sharper, but they have a bit more of a natural feel to it. So one person's eye, one might look better than the other.

This is a personal preference thing if you prefer the higher contrast, look or if you like, the overall natural low of the iPhone and in ideal lighting situations. So awesome, daylight or well lit inside these pictures will actually end up looking very, very close button, less than ideal lighting or nighttime, then you start to see a difference between the two devices. So, on the iPhone side, the big update this year was night mode. It's not a separate mode. You have to go to like it is on the OnePlus it'll turn on its own, and it does a perfect job and almost no light.

So there is a night mode as well on the OnePlus separate mode you have to go to, and it does a better job than if there was no night mode. Well, you compare those particular pictures. Head-To-Head to the iPhone Apple's definitely looks better, and it's not to say the photos coming out of night mode on the OnePlus are bad. There does not have good filter wide is in particular one area where I think you're getting a better picture out of the OnePlus I. Think that contrasted shots that you get lend themselves better.

It's that ultra wide-angle, so videos kind of different story. I, don't think it's a stretch to say that Apple does the best job. A video in the cell phone industry Android is still lagging behind, although that gap is closing, the OnePlus does some cool things, though, that you're not going to get on the iPhone, because you have that telephoto, you dynamically switched between all three cameras as you're filming video, which is awesome. Both have 4k 60 capabilities both have stabilization. But if you look at the difference between the two with the iPhone, you can pretty much walk and the video still look stable.

You see a bit more shake on the OnePlus. Looking for the most versatile video setup, then the OnePlus 70 is going to give you something that the iPhone 11 just can't replicate at least digitally. If you care about the best video fidelity the best quality, then the iPhone is going to be the way to go, and that same sentiment tends to echo true with the whole camera discussion. If telephoto is important to you and telex is something that I use quite a bit. The OnePlus 70 is going to be again.

It was a versatile way to go. If you want the best looking photos that are going to come out of the camera in any light situation, then the iPhone is going to be the best, but it boils down to it. The best camera you've got is generally the one in your pocket, so I'll be willing to sacrifice telephoto for overall, better picture quality, I'm picking one here, I'm going iPhone, but it was really close. So those are the big features of the phones, but there's a lot of other things that make these phones unique that bring a lot to the table. I think what OnePlus does, but oxygen OS is the best software version of Android available and a lot of people like to look at the pixel as the best of Google's OS, but OnePlus does to take the best features from the pixel and add to it, and also you get the really quick software updates that you really only get with Google's own hardware, really equipment pushing out software updates.

You're going to get the latest security and new features and oxygen OS. It's already based off of Android 10 out of the box. Io's is iOS. You get the Apple ecosystem, everything that offers the messages. The air drops the Apple photos of the world, and it's perfect and generally up tended to gravitate towards iOS.

A lot of people tend to gravitate the opposite direction towards Android, so they went through and did this versus I took a west preference out of my thought process and I least tried to be very conscious of evaluating this with OS kind of pulled out so picking one based on OS. You probably have your mind made up, there's a lot of other things that make these phones different and unique. On the iPhone side, you've got security of face ID, it's much better here on the iPhone 11, it's faster. It's got better angles. On the OnePlus side, you have kind of a face unlock, not the most secure, it's more of a picture, but you've got an optical finger per meter which actually works very quickly and fast, and I think fast.

A lot of ultrasonics in screen, fingerprint readers on the market both have profile switches which I love to have and somehow is a rarity on Android devices. The iPhones got wireless charging. The OnePlus has warped charging, which is going to give you 70% in 30 minutes, so pick your poison from either of those. They are really well-rounded. Full-Featured devices we all work hard for our money dollars matter and at a hundred bucks less than the iPhone 11.

The OnePlus 70 is a perfect buy at $600, but it comes into a market which is kind of confusing, especially here in the US, so phones going to be sold at T-Mobile stores, as well as the 1 plus 7 Pro, and the 70 is kind of replacing the 1 plus 7, which never came out here in the US. So it's the US market, it's kind of replacing the 1 plus 60, it's just confusing, overall as to where it ranks in the 1 plus hierarchy. You get past that confusion and my decision might be surprising flows. You that have watched my recent string of videos, but what you get for. The value with the 1 plus 70 is incredible: you're getting things on this device, you're not getting for flagships that are twice the price and sure the photos might not look.

As good in every situation as they do from the iPhone, but there's more versatility and every photo you take now is some version of good, and it's not to say the 1 plus 70 is a perfect phone. It doesn't have. Wireless charging like the iPhone 11 does doesn't have an official IP rating like the iPhone 11 has, but everything else in that device for $100 less than the starting points of the iPhone 11 makes it really hard to not recommend the OnePlus 70 pretty much everybody.
