Honor-10-vs-OnePlus-6-Specs-Comparison-NoypiGeeks

Both Honor and OnePlus are known for their bang-for-the-buck releases. Actually, one of them is even known for their “flagship killer” moniker ever since the first device that came out from them.

Just recently, these two brands released their new flagships for 2018. Both the Honor 10 and OnePlus 6 are launched just a few weeks apart,  which is just fitting as the two devices might just go head-to-head with each other.

The Honor 10 was announced late last month. It is said to be the closest cousin of the P20 — Huawei’s current flagship smartphone, which is really understandable since they basically came from the same mold.

On the other hand, we have the OnePlus 6. On the surface, this device has departed from the design that its predecessors have. It has a glass back for a more premium look and OnePlus also joined the bandwagon by incorporating a display notch.

But the question is, which between these two actually offers the best value for the money? Will the OnePlus 6 continue its reign as the best flagship killer smartphone? Or can emerging brands like Honor steal the crown?

It looks like OnePlus is still undefeated — at least in this particular specs comparison. However, that doesn’t mean that the Honor 10 is a slouch.

If you think about it, the OnePlus 6 does offer better specs on paper. But then, you also have to consider the price. As per their official prices abroad, the Honor 10 is actually cheaper, which is probably the reason behind its relatively less appealing specs sheet.

For its price tag, the Honor 10 still feels like a decent flagship alternative. It runs on the latest Android 8.1 Oreo software, comes with a large 5.84-inch screen, and has a capable set of cameras.

The Honor 10 also runs on a powerful Kirin 970 processor — the same chipset found on Huawei’s current flagships like the P20 Pro.

But then again, if you can spend a bit more, you might want to pick the OnePlus 6. It’s still cheaper than the flagship options from the likes of Samsung, Apple, and Huawei. A brand that comes to mind when we talk about cheap flagships is Xiaomi, which actually revealed the pricing of the upcoming Mi Mix 2S in the Philippines.

OnePlus 6 has a 6.28-inch FHD+ Optic AMOLED screen which theoretically provides more impressive colors and sharpness. It is also powered by a Snapdragon 845 chipset, which is the same processor found in other flagship smartphones like the Galaxy S9. Its camera system has been greatly improved and the design looks more refreshing than its predecessors.

Honor-10-Philippines

To wrap it up, I think both devices are viable options. If you can afford to pay for a OnePlus 6, go with it. But if you can’t, the Honor 10 is probably the best option.

Neither of the two is officially available in the Philippines as of the moment. But if they ever reach here, the OnePlus 6 is expected to be priced at around Php27,700, while the Honor 10 might cost from Php22,000 to Php25,000.
