OnePlus 8 Pro Vs Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultimate Comparison || Which One To Buy? || Gaming, Camera Tested By Digit

The OnePlus 8 pro and the Xiaomi mi 10 are part of the flagship, android bandwagon and a lot of you watching. This can argue endlessly about how each is better. But during the course of this comparison, one thing became clear: the OnePlus 8 pro and the Xiaomi mi 10 are perfectly good android flagships to buy this year, but they're aimed at two completely different sets of users with a good amount of overlap. If you're willing to sacrifice on some features in favor of the others, hi I'm shubhajeet from digit. in and today in this video, we're gonna talk about the OnePlus 8 pro in comparison with the Xiaomi mi 10 and if you haven't already subscribed, don't forget to hit the bell icon to stay up to date with our latest content. Let's begin, I got the 10 a few weeks before the OnePlus 8 pro and got a fair idea of how this phone behaves in my daily usage, which mostly involves a lot of back and forth, texting on WhatsApp and Instagram.

Looking and laughing at memes documenting my dog's adventure and long spurts of cod mobile and an episode or two on the pot and the meat ended all this satisfyingly fast and as far as I remember it, never flows or lagged. But then again it felt like. I was doing all this on just any other Xiaomi smartphone, because the software is more or less the same. There's no app drawer. It's riddled with spam notifications and bloatware.

The 10 did get me through the day without a hitch, but it was also really distracting the biggest difference I felt with the OnePlus 8 pro, which I set up and started using a week back, is how seamlessly integrated into my life from the get go. It's just as fast, if not maybe a little faster, but it never threw me a distraction which I had to address before I got to the task at hand. The OnePlus 8 pro is noticeably lighter and slimmer, and the matte texture of the glacial green finish is just so much better than the meat and glossy fingerprint laid in glass body. The OnePlus 8 pro feels new. After week's usage, while the meat end well, it just looks used, and it's only for so long.

I could just stare and admire the design of these two smartphones. It's time we actually tested how they perform. I'm not much of a fan of curved displays because as much as they look good, I still find flat displays far more usable, the OnePlus 8 pro curves sharply along the edges and there's noticeable discoloration, especially when you have a game or a movie spilling over to the edges. It's there on the meat and scurvy display as well, but it's not as prominent as it is on the OnePlus 8 pro, and it's more disappointing than having to deal with a punch, hole, selfie, camera inside corner, which, if you ask me, is not all that distracting. After a few days of usage, I finally managed to look past it and when I did, the mi 10 appeared a lot brighter and more vivid as compared to the OnePlus 8 pro, and that's because the brightness levels are higher on the 10, but the OnePlus 8 pro feels much smoother and responsive because of the 120 hertz display, plus more pixels on the OnePlus 8 pro display also gives it an edge over the 10.

Now one thing: that's unique in the OnePlus 8 pro is a memo algorithm to make the 120hz screen a little more useful. Its motion estimation motion compensation and its technology that we have seen in the OnePlus TV before it, basically inserts more frames in the video you're watching to make it appear smoother, it's cool if you're, watching an action movie, but there are a lot of Hollywood directors, including one of my favorites Quentin Tarantino, who are simply disgusted by it. The 10 doesn't have any such features, but it does support HDR 10 plus on Netflix Amazon, prime and YouTube. So does the OnePlus 8 pro for that matter? Another place where the display comes to life is in gaming, both the OnePlus 8 pro and the 10 are perfect for long hours of gaming. They don't dig into your palms and the gameplay is just too smooth even when compared to the ROG phone 2, which is what I used for Call of Duty mobile.

The phones maintain 60 frames per second throughout the session with no drops and frames, and the touch response times are good enough for cod multiplayer. The mi 10 goes an extra step and lets you configure the display for gaming. You can choose between saturated and bright and a combination of two which is fun at start, but I would have preferred more granular access to the CPU and GPU, like the ROG phone 2 does now. Let's talk about the cameras. Both these phones rely on high resolution, large size, camera sensors to improve imaging the OnePlus 8 pro has not one but two 48 megapixel cameras in the quad camera stack.

The primary 48mp is used on the wide lens while there's another 48 megapixel, that's used for the ultra-wide lens, which is an interesting choice. Throughout last year, I wondered what it would take for these grand wide-angle landscapes to be a lot sharper and OnePlus answer is to include yet another 48 megapixel camera into the mix, not that I'm complaining. In fact, the photos come out perfect from both the sensors, the 48mp primary camera on the OnePlus 8 pro is the best I've seen so far in any one plus device, and it's evident the amount of effort the team has put in to tune it. But if I have to nitpick the OnePlus 8 pro suffers from a blue tint in most photos you take with the vivid filter on, and the plane of focus is also tiny. So if you're shooting a close-up without engaging the macro mode, you'll only find the area you tapped, which is in focus.

Everything else is just blurred. It's something that's present on the 10 as well, and reading this article on the internet. I have reasons to believe the large size, sensors and the lens design is what is at fault here, but the 108 mp camera on the mi 10, like we have said before, produces some perfect details in the photos, but keeping the two side by side. It looks like the colors on the OnePlus 8 pro come out much better. The 10 takes everything, a level extra, there's more saturation, more vibrancy, more details and more sharpness.

Now videos are a problem in both phones, especially while focusing on an object up close, but as the focus locks in the maintenance output is noticeably sharper than the OnePlus 8 pro. The mi 10 also offers an excellent pro video mode, which my friend, who is shooting this video says, is quite useful, which is quite anticlimactic, because, despite everything that OnePlus has done this year, including adding two 48 megapixel cameras and tuning the JPEG output to a great extent, it still can't match up to the shots that we expect from premium flagships when you're paying upwards of 50 000. The mate 10 scores purely on the basis of the 108 mp cameras output. It captures great details and sharpness, but as far as the other three lenses are concerned, it looks simply borrowed out of yet another Xiaomi local smartphone, and even after doing all this, the OnePlus 8 pro at its highest display settings, which is HD plus at 120 hertz, gave a screen time of around five to six hours. On an average.

The first day I set up the phone restoring all my data. The battery life was just four and a half hours. On the other hand, the meat then gave a consistent six to seven hour screen on time, with good standbys times when it was not in use the large batteries on these two will easily last you the day without having to plug in well. Maybe the OnePlus 8 pro may need a quick top-up before you go out in the evening. Speaking of charging, both of them take around the same time to top up from not to 100, which is just over an hour overall, and this may be because I'm fresh out of using the phone, the OnePlus 8 pro feels far more refined and responsive as compared to the mi 10.

I mean it's understandable that OnePlus has been in the flagship business for longer, and it consistently takes feedback from its community of users so much so that the phone simply blends in with your life from the get-go. The 10, on the other hand, has a lot more to prove. It is part of Xiaomi's re-entry into the premium segment in India and one of the reason why this phone went batshit crazy on the hardware in this price range and because Xiaomi knows the camera is one place where it can impress. But as far as the performance is concerned, the snapdragon 865 takes care of that in both of these. So you won't really find a difference in terms of raw performance, but it's ultimately the software on the OnePlus 8 pro that convinced me from not going back to the 10 after I reviewed this, so that was it.
