If you’re in the market for a top-class phone right now, recognize there is more significant than merely the modern-day iPhone versus Samsung’s Galaxy S10 to remember. This year, two other contenders, the Pixel 3 and OnePlus 6T, also deliver a top-tier Android with the trendy and greatest processing speeds, cameras, and software program features.
Starting at $899 (£869, AU$1,349), the Pixel 3 (and its larger counterpart, the Pixel 3 XL) earned a CNET Editors’ Choice and has an outstanding digicam that takes the maximum steady pix in any lights scenario. Its name-blockading feature, which runs on AI instantly from Google, offers it an aspect over other excellent phones this year. (Note that OnePlus’ next smartphone, the OnePlus 7, is expected sometime this spring.)

Simultaneously, the OnePlus 6T is the most affordable, pinnacle-notch Android telephone you can get. It begins at the handiest $549 (£499, converts to AU$775) and is equipped with a robust digital camera and an on-screen fingerprint scanner. Best, but for American consumers, the OnePlus 6T now sells through T-Mobile (though you could also pick it up at once from OnePlus’ internet site), and it works in Verizon’s community, too. These two critical options go face to face in design, digital camera, software program, and performance. See which one comes out on top.
OnePlus 6T’s in-screen fingerprint reader vs. Pixel 3’s water resistance
OnePlus 6Twins bragging rights as the first inside the US to have a fingerprint-on-show scanner (or FOD). That means you can experiment with your fingerprint on the front of the show to liberate your screen, and the telephone has thin bezels all around. Unfortunately, during my time with it, the FOD labored fast enough most of the time. Still, it failed to paint as speedily as the dedicated fingerprint scanner did at the preceding OnePlus 6.
Because of the gap, the FOD takes in the phone, and the OnePlus lopped off the 6T’s headphone jack (though the Pixel 3 would not have one, so would many other phones). If you don’t already own wi-fi headphones to concentrate on tune and calls, OnePlus blanketed a USB Type-C to 3.5mm adapter dongle inside the container. You can purchase the logo’s USB Type-C earbuds for an extra $20 (£16, converts to AU$30). The Pixel Three, on the other hand, comes bundled with its Pixel Buds without cost.
The Pixel Three seems just like the remaining 12 months’ Pixel 2, but subtle design tweaks like thinner bezels and a smooth lining across the cellphone upload greater polish this time. I’m also a big fan of Pixel’s new color variant, “Not Pink.” (Click here to peer the “Not Pink” Pixel underneath a macro lens.)
