It's widely known that the two Chinese firms, which mainly concentrate on releasing amazing phones in terms of build quality and hardware implementations, often have tug-off war among themselves for which the reasons are clear. There's Xiaomi on one side and OnePlus on the other.
We always believed that the prominence of one brand led to the birth of another. However, when it comes to smartphone domination, let's check them out head to head.
Let's start off with OnePlus 3 mainly because of my OCD senses tingling. OnePlus, down the years, have made only about five phones if we can recall correctly. OnePlus are the only brand to actually strive to make some of the best phones even if it includes some insane hardware being implemented like 6GB of memory. While we do understand the reasoning behind it, the average smartphone user might not care.
OnePlus 3 is the third generation of their flagship phone after the successful sales of OnePlus One and Two. Released this year in June, it took place in the shelves during the launch period itself. A beautifully designed 6-inch phone makes sure it weighs less at only 158gms available in a dual NANO-SIM standard with an AMOLED panel having 16m colours.
However, it still carries that old-school FHD display powered by OxygenOS. The main talking point is really about the processor which is Snapdragon 820 a quad core chipset with Adreno 530 graphics powered by a whopping 6GB RAM. While you can store 64GB of data internally you cannot expand the same through an external storage slot.
An amazing 16MP rear camera with OIS can shoot videos up to 4K at 30 frames per second with a 3000mAh battery powering the phone. The phone does boast fast charging with about 60% charge in just half-an hour's time
Coming to Xiaomi, the phone we discuss about is yet to be out in the markets, which is the Mi 5s. This phone has a beautiful IPS capacitive display in a 5.7-inch form factor, also having a dual Nano-SIM standard. However, this phone will have a 3D touch display in only one variant, which is the 128GB storage with 4GB of memory.
The Mi 5s has arguably the next generation processor with Snapdragon 821 a quad core Kyro chip alongside Adreno 530 graphics with memory options being 3GB of 4GB. This phone too boasts fast charging with about more than 80 percent charged in just half-an hour time.
We'll be yet to check the Mi 5s in terms of benchmarks and other performance tests.
