OnePlus 10 Pro Vs Xiaomi 12 Pro Comparison A Step BACKWARDS!!
Oneplus 10 pro and the Xiaomi 12 pro these are two very similar flagship phones both running android 12 both have the new snapdragon 8 gen 1 chipset the rest of the spec sheet is very very similar i'm not going to read it out here so let's just dive in and get to the bottom of which one of these phones here is the best at what and why firstly i'm going to go over the design and our build quality of both of these now they do have very very similar specs and the screens on them so we've got a 6.7 inch screen here with the xiaomi and then we have a 6.7 okay so that's just .03 of an inch difference so when you look at them they really are very very similar here now depends on your personal preference here with the cut out the whole punch here either in the middle which i do prefer slightly smaller than what we've got on the oneplus 10 pro that one is 32 megapixels this one's 32 megapixels as well and the screens i'll get onto them in detail soon but they're both lt po but we've got ltpo2 with the oneplus which is here on the right so always keep the oneplus on the right make things easy and just to point out both of these have eight gigabytes of ram and both have 128 gigabytes of ufs 3.1 storage both of them have android 12 on them and they both have 1440p or quad hd plus screen so fingerprint readers in screen ones optical let's test them both out all right so which was quicker there i think probably the oneplus 10 pro i do that again so one two three yeah uh animation's definitely better and when i get onto the ui i'll talk about that too but things do seem a little bit quicker there in that regard on the oneplus 10 pro now they have gorilla glass victus on them curved screens on both curved on the back two with them and i'll get on to that shortly but down here type c ports a big difference with the oneplus 10 pro we get usb 3.1 and it does have clone display so display out support not only that the transfer speeds absolutely slaughter the xiaomi 12 pro they're so much quicker so we've got microphones and our sim trays both of them do hold two nano sims now with the import version of the 12 pro here it does not have lte band 20 the oneplus 10 5g does the oneplus 10 pro sorry does there and the loudspeaker is down here so harmon card on tuned loudspeaker on the xiaomi versus just well speakers i don't think there are any fancy branding behind them that's doing the tuning it's uh oppo or should i say oneplus that are doing it there and up the top here secondary microphones antenna lines a bit of a squared off top on the oneplus 10 pro where it's rounded and middle frames on both of them in hand they feel really good and then the rear of them here i do like the look of both of them especially the finish here with the gorilla glass victus as mentioned before it's curved you can see that now they both have a bit of a shimmer to them like a silky look more on the oneplus 10 pro this black matte that i really do like the look of it but the camera module i'm going to have to say looks better on the xiaomi 12 pro of course this is all subjective personal preference here which one do you think looks the better the back of them i like the more subdued more subtle look of the xiaomi 12 pro but i think the finish here the black does look a little bit nicer and the way it just shimmers and certain angles a little bit more on the oneplus 10 pro i do like that as well so i'd almost give them a tie here for build quality and just the looks and the aesthetics of the back of them i think it's good on both so there is wireless charging support on both of these and they both are 50 watts now it will take about 42 minutes with the xiaomi to wirelessly charge at the 50 watts and it's around about 50 or so with the oneplus 10 pro because it has a slightly larger battery which is 5 000 milliamp hours versus 4600 and then cameras so without just reading spec sheets here all day we do have 48 megapixel main camera 50 and then 50 and 50. so the xiaomi has an ultrawide that's 50 a two times it's 50 then the oneplus 10 pro it's zoom camera which is a eight megapixel one that one is three times or three point three times optical versus two times optical on the xiaomi but the resolution really means it's not actually that much better when you crop in and then the ultra wide so we've got 50 megapixel versus 50 megapixel ultrawide now i've done a camera comparison on both of these so do recommend you check out that video if you're interested to see which one has the more potent or better cameras i gave the xiaomi the win for the rare stills and for the video performance however its audio was not that good the oneplus had better audio front-facing cameras on both of them uh they were terrible when it came to vlog footage and selfies over exposing on the xiaomi both of them really do have a lot of work when it comes to the camera performance i found optimization just isn't there on both of these yet which is a true disappointment i think last gen flagships from both of these brands were better now our displays so we do have that variable refresh rate on them that they can save a bit of battery because it can chop it right down so 120 hertz 120 hertz qhd plus resolution on both of them both of them curved they are both fantastic top tier screens but i do have a bit of a complaint with both of them they both do not seem to freely have dc dimming available it's hidden away in developer settings on the xiaomi and with the oneplus i don't think it's there it's not there in the normal display settings anyway but you'll see right now there's a bit of banding coming through on both but you can see a little bit more on the xiaomi now for some reason the leaves here should i say the petals look a little bit brighter than what we're seeing with the oneplus 10 prone i don't know why that is that's just the optimization of both of them which have kept them both on standard it's just the way it's doing it i both calibrated these screens to be the same exact brightness and it's just the way it's pulling through so there are really good screens you can't go wrong with them it's just that banding that flicker that i'm noticing a little more but really only on camera i just wish the dc dimming option was there for both so they touch response on both of them is excellent i would really call them about a draw there now what about maximum brightness the xiaomi does pull a head i have found and is a slightly brighter screen but if you're going to base your decision on these displays you really cannot go wrong with either of these they're good displays it's just if you're someone that's very sensitive to pulse width modulation flicker on oled or amoled screens i think you're going to have maybe a little bit more of a problem with the xiaomi 12 pro's banding as you're seeing coming through you can see again a little bit of banding there too with the oneplus 10 pro really the last gen screens we had were just as good and you can't tell the difference between this screen and then the last gen ones i don't think you can not to the naked eye ui performance so this is something to me that is way more important than your synthetic benchmarks now synthetic benchmarks are great just to look at them compare things side by side and i'll get on to that soon but in general rom performance so we've got android 12 on both as mentioned then we have color os 12 so buy by oxygen os there's no point crying about oxygen os all right it's gone for good however some of the good things a lot of them have pulled through into color os 12. now i'm
not working for oppo anything like that it's just effect all right we still get very good animation speeds now both of them set to stock no developer options no tweaks nothing like that out of the box settings all right when it comes to all of this stuff so it's fair here the xiaomi has just slower animations i've noticed some real stability problems with the xiaomi 12 pro it's crashed on me many times the launch is frozen up i've seen some amazing lag in the launcher at times cameras crashed now color os 12 on the oneplus 10 pro so far is the most stable android 12 rom that i've tested and it's still i wouldn't call it bug free either okay but they've both got their little issues but by far miui 13 has a lot more bugs and things going on it seems a heavier os in general performance just doesn't quite feel as good if i jump into uh the settings here on both of them you might be able to notice that okay they didn't come up at the same time but it doesn't matter it just feels the scrolling here too that it's a little bit better and just launching and getting into the different settings i feel on definitely color os 12. so when it comes to software fluidity ui performance i've got to give the oneplus 10 pro a clear and definite win there and still on that topic really off the ui performance google apps on the oneplus 10 just scroll a hell of a lot better see that terrible judder and the lag that we're seeing here on the xiaomi let's do that again look how smooth things are on the oneplus 10 pro the software so far especially the google apps is just terrible on that xiaomi i was talking about just before but there you can clearly see it i don't need to use slow-mo anything fancy like that you can clearly see look at that scrolling performance on the oneplus tm pro looks great and it's just a choppy terrible mess so why am i in youtube here well i should be getting into it right now that's because i want to just show you a clip with some audio and we'll listen to the dual lounge speakers on both of these which one's the best so that was interesting the oneplus 10 pro is the loudest there but it distorts a little the bass and doesn't sound really the clearest i think the overall quality sound is definitely coming from those hardened color on tune speakers in the xiaomi 12 pro and that's really no surprise to me now it's time for the test that probably qualcomm doesn't want people to run on their phones or the brands either they're probably like don't do it it's not realistic wildlife stress tests for 20 minutes how's that realistic well it kind of is and it isn't all right so if you were gaming for 20 minutes and a very demanding game like gen chen impact then this is going to be simulating basically that gpu workload on it so what i will do is run this test now we'll see hopefully that both of these phones can complete it without overheating first off and then once it's done we'll see the throttling results and then i'll check on the thermals but both of these just to point out now before i run the test both of them disappointing this new chipset is a bit of a throttling mess it's a hot chip it's very much like the snapdragon 810 days all over again so here we go start on both at the same time and it's going to let it run now for 20 minutes and then we'll check on the results 17 minutes into the test now and the xiaomi has well there we go it has just closed and opted not to finish the test at all it is at currently 46 degrees where the oneplus 10 pro continues on with the benchmark and doesn't seem to have any problems yet it's only about 35 degrees at least this screen and that xiaomi getting very hot there is still about 47 degrees but starting to cool down so it's booted me out now if that was a game like pub g or jen shin impact you get that message right now that we are looking at overheating and you lose the game of course so that's completely unacceptable to me we'll check now and see the end result of what the oneplus 10 pro is going to get and how much it throttled and there we go the test is finishing up on the oneplus 10 pro we'll take a look at the result so we'll see how much it has throttled and i'll check on those temperatures it does feel quite hot the top of it so it did end up stability wise getting down to 62 percent wow so that means it has throttled quite a lot that's a huge amount when you look at the lowest score here so really disappointing results here from that snapdragon 8 gen 1 it should be so much better than this this really is truly like last gen results especially the lowest score there wow okay let's have a look at the thermals now using my thermal imaging camera we'll take a look at the back of it so how warm is it okay it's getting up to 40 degrees so in order to keep those thermals in check with the latest patch they have certainly throttled the hell out of that new chip as you've just seen from that and i'll flip it over again and we will take a look at the front of it so the front of the screen there up to okay we're near the top about 39 degrees those are acceptable temperatures on the oneplus 10 pro what is not acceptable is of course the xiaomi 12 pro dnf did not finish died crashed and burned after just 17 minutes of the stress test and our benchmark so charging time we've got 120 watts 21 minutes to go from 11 to 100 7 to 100 here on the oneplus 10 pro 80 watts took 32 minutes so it's good on both of them okay just ignore this it glitched out for some reason i don't know why it does that sometimes and here our antutu score so both of them fantastic a little bit faster on the oneplus 10 pro but really it means absolutely no difference when we get on to real-world kind of use look at the temperature difference though from the test so we lost eight percent battery here we only lost six and the temperature went up a whopping almost 14 degrees versus nine degrees which is still quite a bit the snapdragon 8 gen 1 is a disappointing chip for me cpu wise we've gained basically nothing the gpu is yes a lot faster for short bursts but long term it gets really hot it's a hot chip and qualcomm i think they are just pretty much like well like intel aren't they i'm waiting for that dimension 9000 from mediatek so here we have wildlife scores and you can see very close again not really that much in it two frames per second more on average just over on the oneplus 10 pro i mean that's nothing okay and storage internal storage ufs 3.1 versus 3.1 versus the same capacity too okay on both of them similar kind of speeds and really i wouldn't worry about any of these benchmarks at all for these kind of things it's it's really pointless because they are both very fast and none of these are going to cause any bottlenecks or issues so there's a big difference here for some reason with geekbench i'm not too sure why that was i did let both of these phones cool down before i ran the test okay so i don't know what happened there who knows it's random sometimes it's a bit higher sometimes it's a bit lower gps on both both running the same chipset so as expected pretty similar there they see about the same amount of satellites and there's a difference of six on there but again really minimal differences so battery life uh the fixed benchmark that i run is 200 nits on both of the displays and it goes so it gets to 20 battery what happened is and it kept happening over and over again for some reason the oneplus 10 pro didn't want to run pc mark okay so it just keeps stopping however i at least got this result here when it got down to 20 battery 22 10 hours and 21 minutes on screen time versus eight hours now they're both set to the highest resolution okay and 120 hertz so there's a huge difference there in battery life now that is to do with rom optimization now i can tell you realistically this is a benchmark that of course is just a looping benchmark but realistic real-world use around seven hours of on-screen time this is about eight eight and a half maybe i mean that's even pushing it you're probably looking about seven and a half six and a half okay they're pretty poor both of them and you will have to charge these at the end of the day both have wide volume level one cert so netflix and full hd that's great amazon prime video no both of them not supported at all so the final verb tag which one of these should you buy i'm going to have to say neither they really are in uh for a better word in a bit of a hell of a state really i think for new 2020 releases if this is what we're gonna have this year when it comes to new flagships wow it's gonna be a very disappointing year and hard for everyone so i don't see any genuine reason to upgrade to these models so far okay so far things can change software can update they can fix the bugs i'm talking about their current state here okay don't get me wrong both of these models feel very unpolished and then don't get me started on that snapdragon 8gen1 i know some of the big boys out there will post these massive hype videos and tell you how amazing it is go and get it you want to get the latest and greatest the new snapdragon the new qualcomm chip well of course they are they got flow into hawaii and then with some of these brand products they are probably also going to come out and say the same thing that it's a huge upgrade you want to get it even if you've got the last gen model go and get it because it's great because they got the phones from the brands for free and that didn't happen here with what i've got um it's turning into a bit of a rant here but i just got to get it out that why would you upgrade here take a look at these phones come on compared to the previous gen we are not gaining really anything on the spec sheets yes you look at it and go they're comparing and two two scores to and two two scores wow one slightly higher but real world performance once these get hot or overheat and beat you out of a game and beat you out of a benchmark really that i mean that's even worse that you you can't play like a demanding game like jen shen impact for more than about 20 minutes 25 minutes on the highest possible settings before that happens so a completely unacceptable really from qualcomm what is going on here they're like the new intel and it seems to me these brands have decided to become complacent they've gone hey it's working for apple it's working maybe for samsung while or was working just incremental releases our fan base is that big that we can just you know tweak it a little bit new chipset slightly better screen maybe slightly better camera they're gonna buy it everyone's gonna rush out and buy it because it's the latest and greatest wrong wrong wrong wrong big mistake there i think that the sales are going to take a bit of a hit i think this year is definitely going to be a wake-up call for these brands that they can't just continue they can't change their direction both of these brands were well known in the past that's how they built themselves for being flagship killers even though i really hate that term for being value champs for offering so much more than the other brands for less for innovation for bringing us new things but it seems that they just became so complacent now with these new models and went incremental updates that'll do rush it out we're the first to have the new gen chip set even though the both of the phones are in a hell of a state camera wise a mess i mean we still have with the xiaomi it doesn't have any video out at least the oneplus does uh then the front-facing camera still doesn't have 4k this one doesn't have 4k no electronic image stabilization just stability issues with the software with me ui 13 don't get me started on that either this crashes once a day on me it's not good this is where some things are good okay we lost oxygen os and that's that's a terrible loss i really did like it was my favorite android operating system skin ui uh it's gone now so it's color os 12. but color os where i can give it some praise where ju is definitely a lot more
stable than miui 13. it's faster the performance just generally better there so that's good but they've lost their path now of course they're way one plus both of them have uh true disappointment i would stick with your previous gen keep your oneplus 9 pro keep your xiaomi 11 pro keep your xiaomi 11 keep the xiaomi 11 ultra you're really not gaining anything if you buy these phones trust me if you're really into your tech you're going to feel bit of buyers remorse and then the pricing of both of them is creeping right up again this is where i feel they're copying the plans of apple they're going okay incremental updates our fan base is there they'll buy them we can price it high it's not working i don't think it's working anyway this comparison turned into a rant and i do apologize for that but i had to get it out that there's a lot of things that just aren't going the way they should in 2022 when it comes to these new flagship models it's just not happening i'm i'm not liking it or what i'm seeing here thank you so much for watching hope you did like this comparison rant video and i'll see you in the next one
