The iPhone X has found a challenger – in practical tests, the new product from OnePlus is approaching it

iPhone X has incredible performance, thanks to the new A11 Bionic chip. In this regard, Apple is hugely ahead of the competition, which uses, for example, Snapdragon processors from Qualcomm. The raw processing power of Apple's processors increases at an inexorable rate each year, and other smartphones usually catch up over the course of the following year. In the benchmarks, the new product from Apple clearly rules, but as far as real tests are concerned, it seems that a capable competitor has finally been found. (Un)surprisingly, this is a new product from the popular manufacturer OnePlus, namely the 5T model.

The video test, which appeared on SuperSAFTV's YouTube channel, can be viewed below. The author completely omits classic synthetic benchmarks (although he mentions them at the beginning of the video, their results are not included in the test as such) and focuses purely on practical tasks. That is, opening applications, speed and response of the camera, multitasking, etc. Both phones are very balanced. In some applications the 5T is faster, in others the iPhone. When it comes to testing games and loading them, the iPhone regularly wins here, thanks to the fast NVMe flash memory. Interestingly, the OnePlus 5T is able to keep background apps active longer, while Apple has to reload previously enabled games. Most likely, this is a solution that improves battery life through more efficient RAM management.

The OnePlus 5T has an almost desktop (or at least laptop) size of RAM memory, which is 8GB for this model. The performance and behavior of the system is also greatly helped by the fact that it is basically "pure" Android, not cluttered with proprietary elements (and a complicated launcher) like other manufacturers. It is for this reason that the phones of this brand are so popular (especially in the USA). Despite the fact that it is a phone almost half the price of the iPhone X. It can be seen that the current top models of the competing platform can at least match Apple's flagship, in the field of practical tests. Synthetic benchmarks are great for showing off raw computing power, but their results are difficult to translate into practice. However, the big question in the case of a competing platform is whether the phone will be able to respond as quickly after half a year of use. In the case of iPhones, we can rely on this, Androids are a little worse in this regard.
