In our article where we faced off both of these processors, it had turned out that they are practically the same in performance which means that users are free to choose either one. In this case, it is shown that they have hardly had differences when tested out in the AnTuTu synthetic benchmark app.
In the same article, the Adreno 540 performed better than the Mali-G72 MP12 by 10%. This means that if users are more inclined to gaming, they can go for the OnePlus 5T.
CAMERA
Both smartphones have a dual rear camera setup, but what makes them different are the main rear camera resolution and the lens technology that was used. For the front camera, OnePlus 5t has double the camera resolution that the Mate 10 has. We’ll let you be the judge of the sample photos that we took here. (OnePlus 5t and Huawei Mate 10)
BATTERY
Even though the Mate 10 has a higher battery capacity than the OnePlus 5T, the PC Mark battery test showed that the latter has a longer battery life than the former. The battery life attributes to factors like display, the chipset’s power efficiency, and OS optimization For users who are into longer battery life, the OnePlus 5T is the right device for them.
PRICE
The OnePlus 5T is priced at Php26,990 (64GB) or Php30,990 (128GB) , while the Huawei Mate 10 is priced at Php32,990.
Overall, if users’ preferences are inclined towards a device with better gaming potential (thanks to a higher RAM capacity and better performing GPU), longer battery life, and a more affordable price then they can go with the OnePlus 5T. On the other hand, if they want to have a smartphone with better viewing experience, expandable storage, Android 8.0 Oreo, and faster mobile data capacity, then the Mate 10 is the right choice.
