OnePlus 7 Pro vs Samsung S10: Display Features
Starting my OnePlus 7 Pro vs Samsung S10 performance comparison is a look at their displays.
To compare the display qualities of OnePlus 7 Pro and Samsung S10, I will compare their display technology and resolutions.
OnePlus 7 Pro is designed with a Fluid AMOLED display while Samsung S10 is designed with a Dynamic AMOLED.
The names of the display technologies may be different but in terms of actual user experience, you will not notice any difference. I will say that both phones offer the same display technology.
Another display comparison is the resolution. OnePlus 7 Pro offers QHD/WQHD (3120 x 1440 pixels) resolution. In comparison, Samsung S10 offers FHD+ (2280 x 1080 pixels).
In terms of picture quality, QHD/WQHD is better than FHD+. Therefore, for display performance, OnePlus 7 Pro the winner.

My second OnePlus 7 Pro vs Samsung S10 performance comparison feature is a look at the cameras on both phones.
OnePlus 7 Pro and Samsung S10 offer 3 rear cameras and a single selfie camera.
The rear cameras in OnePlus 7 Pro are rated 48 MP Standard Lens, 8 MP Telephoto Lens, and 16 MP Ultra Wide Angle Lens.
Moreover, the camera’s aperture ratings are ƒ/1.6, ƒ/2.4, and ƒ/2.2 respectively. The selfie camera on OnePlus 7 Pro is rated 16 MP, ƒ/2.0.

Deciding the winner in the camera category is a bit tricky. Firstly, both phones have 3 rear cameras and a single selfie camera.
Secondly, because one of the rear cameras on OnePlus 7 Pro is rated 48 MP, it is easy to make it the winner.
However, big megapixels do not necessarily translate into better pictures. The aperture of the camera plays an important part in the picture quality.
Furthermore, if you compare the apertures of the cameras with the biggest megapixels on OnePlus 7 Pro vs Samsung S10, OnePlus 7 Pro offers 48 MP Standard Lens with a ƒ/1.6 aperture. On the other hand, Samsung S10 offers a 16 MP Ultra Wide Camera with an aperture of ƒ/2.2.
My final verdict is this: both phones offer great cameras. However, the cameras that ship with OnePlus 7 Pro are better and will take better photos.

OnePlus 7 Pro comes with a massive 4000 mAh non-removable battery. Comparatively, Samsung S10 offers a smaller battery – 3400 mAh non-removable.
One would expect OnePlus 7 Pro to deliver more 3G talk time and it did not disappoint.
