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.
