OnePlus 3 vs Samsung Galaxy Note 6/ Note 7: Differences you need to know

26 Feb 2019

As we all know, Samsung is planning to launch Samsung Galaxy Note 6/ Note 7 anytime soon in August 2016, as potential rumors convey. By this time, the specifications of this phone are far fetched. With the leaked specifications, we can deduce that the phone will be a revolutionary impressive hit in the smart market. 

Recently, the OnePlus launched its third phone, OnePlus 3 which delivers much more features in an affordable price. We have stacked up all the differences in the features between both the mobiles. In case of Samsung, we have considered only the leaks of specifications on the web. Here it is.

Design: The OnePlus 3 is fully aluminium anodized with fingerprint scanner on the back panel, which is fully black plastic without sandstone as its predecessors whereas Samsung Galaxy Note 6/ Note 7 designs will be a glass body, but with Corning Gorilla Glass 4 panel, IP68 Water and Dust Resistance, which is missing in the OnePlus 3. Samsung Galaxy Note 6/ Note 7 may feature with Always-on display, Stylus, Force touch with TouchWIZ UI.

Display: Until now, we haven’t gotten any luck in knowing the possible dimension of the display of the Samsung Galaxy Note 6/ Note 7 . Given that it had rendered an amazing display for the Samsung Galaxy S7, we can expect a little bit more accuracy on the display for Note 6/ Note 7 . Obviously, when we compare now with the OnePlus 3’s 152.7 x 74.7 x 7.4 mm, we are expecting Samsung to deliver more ppi.

Camera: This may be a very good news and surprising element for all the Samsung lovers in town. It is expected that the Note 6/ Note 7 will be supporting a rear camera of 30 MP and front camera of 16 MP, which will equate the benefit of carrying a DSLR in your hand. Will the OnePlus 3’s 16 MP rear camera and 8 MP selfie camera match this configuration? I doubt it.

Hardware: The Samsung Galaxy Note 6/ Note 7 is expected to arrive with the Snapdragon Qualcomm chipset 823 octa-core 2.9 GHz processor, which is advanced than the Snapdragon Qualcomm chipset 820 present in the OnePlus 3. The processing will be of a zooming speed in Samsung Galaxy Note 6/ Note 7 , if it actually proves the leaks are true to its specifications. Like OnePlus 3, Samsung Galaxy Note 6/ Note 7 is also going to support 6GB RAM, but differing only in storage variants, Samsung will sport 16/32/64/128/256 GB variants unlike the OnePlus 3 which comes with only 64GB variant.

Software: There will be a common Android Marshmallow OS on both the phones except both the phones will use different Android skins. The OnePlus uses Oxygen OS and the Samsung uses TouchWiz.

Others: The sensors like Accelerometer, Compass, Gyro, Barometer, Fingerprint, SpO2, Heart Rate are expected to be present in Samsung Galaxy Note 6/ Note 7 as per the leaks claim. The same is present in the OnePlus 3 along with proximity sensors. The battery of Samsung Note 6 is expected to b 4300 mAh, which is very powerful as it seems to be, but we will have to wait until its release – whether to see if it can match with the dash charging concept of 3300 mAh packed in the OnePlus 3. The OnePlus 3 phone comes in Graphite, soft gold color variants whereas the Samsung Note 6/ Note 7 is expected to be coming in Gold, Platinum, Silver Titan, White Pearl and Black Sapphire. The price of the OnePlus 3 is $299 USD only, whereas price of the rival comparator Samsung Galaxy Note 6/ Note 7 is expected to cost around $1200 USD.

Only in the fullness of the time after the launch of the Samsung Galaxy Note 6/ Note 7, we will know if which phone will be the best for the grab in the market.
