As mentioned, the Note 10 and OnePlus 7 Pro have similar specs. Both Samsung and OnePlus use premium glass and an aluminum frame on their flagships. Despite being a cheaper phone, the OnePlus offering stills give the Samsung counterpart a run for its money with its stunning look. Personally, I find the OnePlus 7 Pro to be better than Note 10 with a full-screen display and better gradient finishes as well. The Note 10 does look premium, but its top center punch hole might be a deal breaker to some users.

The OnePlus 7 Pro’s camera performance wasn’t as good as the Galaxy S10 smartphones, so we believe that it should be behind the Note 10 as well. However, we still need to wait and see how the phone performs in real-world condition.
