Design and display: Samsung has an edge over Oneplus
The Oneplus 6 and Galaxy S8, where both had a eye catchy design with stunning displays and all-glass designs.where oneplus 6 brings a tall AMOLED display with a notch and Gorilla Glass 5 protection on the front and back. This bosts pretty much trendy look, but when kept next to a Galaxy S8, you would find it hard to look away from Samsung’s flagship.
The one thing that can be looked for Samsung phones is all about its gorgeous-looking phones. The Galaxy S8 also brings Gorilla Glass 5 on the front and back, but it’s curvier and more elegantly crafted. Through its glass edge curves at its sides, it keeps an illusion as the screen is flowing down. The Galaxy S8 also has one of the best display panels on a smartphone. It gets a 5.8-inch QHD+ sAMOLED Infinity Display and HDR 10 support. The Galaxy S8 may not have the tall display as one plus 6 but this phone is easy to carry go phone which is the lot more compact.
OnePlus 6 gets a better processor, Galaxy S8 gets better cameras
Oneplus mostly hyped smartphone Oneplus 6 is powered by 2018’s flagship Snapdragon 845 chipset which is an absolute beast which promises a smooth flow and performs better, in the long run, thanks partly to a well optimised Android software. Slowdowns are not something we’ve ever encountered in our time with it, everything just flies. The Galaxy S8, on the other hand, run on a now dated Exynos 8895 processor, which simply can’t compete with Qualcomm’s chipset.
The Galaxy S8 is hard to beat in the camera department. Even today, the cameras on the Galaxy S8 are some of the best in the industry are perhaps the best you can find under Rs 30,000 right now. The 12-megapixel ‘dual-pixel’ rear cameras with f/1.7 aperture and OIS captures fantastic images both in sunlight and low-light. The 8MP front-facing camera will also deliver some amazing selfies even in low-light.
And the last, The battery life, the OnePlus 6 gets a win capacity over the Galaxy S8 which comes with a 3,000mAh battery. with its 3,300mAh. The software seems well optimized not to eat away at the 3,300 mAh cell for no reason. The OnePlus 6 manages to deliver a great battery life and will last you a full day and maybe more on average usage. The same usage will leave the Galaxy S8 dead much before you hit the bed.
One is dated, the other is nearing its end
Now here comes the question what to buy? well, you have a habit to think that which device is new will possibly last long(good thinking). In that sense, the OnePlus 6 is definitely a newer phone than the Galaxy S8.To recollect, The Samsung’s flagship was launched in April last year, so understandably some of the specs are now are not in trend. On the other side, we have the OnePlus 6, which is just around five months old now. Yes this is the one right choice but wait, Is something tickling your mind? Yes, Yes there we are having the new iteration of one plus that is Oneplus 6T which damn good upgrade over the one we are talking for now. And there is again a question, is it worth buying the OnePlus 6 or should you wait for the OnePlus 6T?
The OnePlus 6T, based on all the rumours so far, is turning out to be a significant upgrade over the OnePlus 6. It will sport a waterdrop notch and in-display fingerprint sensor, among other things. However, it will likely be priced much higher as we expect the starting price in India to be somewhere close to Rs 36,999. For a sub-Rs 30,000 phone, the OnePlus 6 is still a great choice and should be considered if you’re not attracted by what the 6T is offering. The OnePlus 6 is still a relevant phone, at least until stocks last.
One plus is just not sticking with its old block anymore. The company is now all grown up, and that’s reflected very well in its latest smartphone. While it’s the most expensive OnePlus ever, it’s still quite far from the usual pricing level for a top of the line handset.A nd Oneplus proved itself in staying in great power and hey usually perform smoothly even after a few years. It’s hard to say the same for the Galaxy S8, which does start showing some lags and stutters a year later. When it comes to a software experience, the OnePlus 6 offers a nearly pure, stock version of Android which is bloat-free and offers a smooth experience. To top things off, the phone can also be updated to Android 9 Pie. The Galaxy S8, on the other hand, may never see Pie and the Experience UI does start weighing down on the phone after a while.
We are closing it by a conclusion that if you’re looking for a dependable phone that offers a consistently smooth user experience with regular security updates, the OnePlus 6 is your best bet. But if design and cameras are your priority, then it doesn’t get better than the Galaxy S8.
