OnePlus 7 vs Samsung Galaxy S10+ vs LG G8 ThinQ: Three-way specs comparison

The OnePlus 7 Pro is undoubtedly the most advanced smartphone the company has ever come forth with, a powerhouse that can easily stand its ground with the flagships out there. Galaxies, Pixels, LGs, iPhones, come at it!

Now, the OnePlus 7 Pro is already dangerously near to high-end flagship territory thanks to its pricing which is a bit higher than OnePlus' previous phones. This means that the OnePlus 7 Pro is slowly but surely becoming a rhetoric embodiment of that very same "flagship" that the company vowed to "kill" back when it was a start-up. Yet, that's the natural progression of things.

How exactly does the OnePlus 7 Pro compare against some of the more traditional flagships out there? Are the Galaxy S10+ and the LG G8 ThinQ better offerings, all things considered? There's one way to check this out - by pitting them against one another in our dedicated specs comparison tool, which will reveals the ins and outs of all three devices.

Where is FDD LTE Band 71 for the OnePlus 7 Pro? TDD LTE Band 46? If this a T-Mobile exclusive, I'm sure Bands 71 and 46 will be on the device.

cheap chinese tech vs high quality Korean tech It's a no brainer. oneplus only did well because of their cheap price. If their price rises to the same as the big boys, anyone with a normal IQ will surely buy the superior Samsung or LG hardware

China is the second biggest economy in the world and will overtake USA in the next decade. LG haven't made a good smartphone in years, and no models of the Samsung Galaxy S10 are superior to the OnePlus 7 Pro. 90hz refresh rate screen, UFS3.0, 30w Warp charge all major features the Samsung Galaxy S10 range can't match!

China needs to focus on quality over quantity if it wants to be one of the leaders in tech.

I bought the P30 pro. It runs much smoother than my Note 8 and camera performance blows the Note 8 out of the water. Both performance and reliability is much better than any Galaxy phones I owned, which are often ridden with bugs except the Note 8 that was greatly improved but still not perfect. The P30 Pro's quality I feel is actually on par with Iphones, which is saying alot.
