Both have large displays with a high refresh rate, quad cameras and powerful batteries, but are powered by different processors. They have an integrated 5G modem, manufacturing in an 8-nanometer process and eight cores in common. But the SoCs differ in the fast cores: The MediaTek Dimensity 800 5G in the Oppo Reno4 has four fast Cortex-A 76 – Cores, the Snapdragon 690 from Qualcomm in the OnePlus only two cryo – 560 – Cores.

The Reno achieved better values ​​in the benchmarks almost across the board. The differences are particularly large in graphics-heavy tests such as 3DMark and GFXBench. Here the Mali GPU in the MediaTek processor makes the difference compared to the Adreno chip in the Snapdragon. The Oppo smartphone also wins the multi-core ratings thanks to the majority of higher clocked cores – in the individual rating of the fast cores, the Snapdragon is again ahead. If there are more fast cores on board, tasks running in parallel can be completed faster. This also applies to everyday things like scrolling through menus and homescreens, queries in the background, data transfers and similar things.

One disadvantage that MediaTek chips had in the past, apparently, also has Dimensity 690: The power consumption is comparatively high. In the runtime benchmarks, the N depends on 09 the Reno loosely, the difference is special with almost four hours more with YouTube streaming big. In addition, the OnePlus smartphone charges twice as fast. A disadvantage in terms of convenience: wireless charging with Qi does not support either of the two smartphones.
