OnePlus 5T vs Honor View 10: Design
The preferences in terms of design are very subjective, that much is clear. I have to admit that the View 10 won’t wow you with its design, but it’s along the same lines as the Honor 8/Pro. It offers a classic metal body that is quite thin, has rounded corners and is slightly slippery. In my opinion, the Honor 9 has a better design.
The View 10 doesn’t have glass on the backside and the two photo lenses stick out too much. The physical buttons on the right side are easy to reach and easily distinguishable from their different surfaces. The fingerprint sensor is located on the front panel and is easy to use, even if your smartphone is on the table in front of you. It’s a nice phone, yes, but nothing special. When I pick up the View 10 and the 5T at the same time, I prefer the design from OnePlus.

Camera:
Both the phones come with dual rear camera set up. In OnePlus 5T there is a 16+20 megapixel camera set up. The primary 16 MP camera has Sony IMX 398 sensor. The secondary 20 MP camera offers Sony IMX 376K sensor. The Honor View 10 too offers same 16+20 MP rear camera set up.
The OnePlus 5T offers a 16 megapixel front camera compared to a 13 megapixel unit in the Honor device.
The Honor View 10, as we said in the review earlier, really does a good job with its cameras, living up to the brands’s pioneering ways when it comes to the dual camera set up. Quick takeaway. The Honor View 10 edges this one, on the back of better low light pictures and its intelligent AI driven suggestions. The One Plus 5T performance is nothing to scoff at, but as a user, we are willing to bet that after the initial adjustment to the slightly cluttered interface, you will learn to appreciate the Honor View 10 and its suggestions to take better snaps.
Other Specs
With 6 GB RAM and Kirin 970 octa core processor, the Honor View 10 is a beast that handles all sorts of tasks with ease. With 128 GB storage space, it has enough memory too. This phone has the Android 8.0 Oreo operating system with a tweaked EMUI interface. Another highlight is its 3750 mAh battery.
The OnePlus 5T has 6 GB and 8 GB RAM variants – both of which come with the powerful Snapdragon 835 processor. The two variants come with 64 GB and 128 GB storage space and a 3300 mAh non-removable battery. So if you go for 6 GB model of OnePlus 5T storage can be an issue. Also, this comes with Android 7.1.1 Nougat OS and the Oxygen UI. But do not worry, OnePlus does promise to bring you the Android Oreo eventually.
Conclusion:
The OnePlus 5T is available for Rs 32,999 for the 6GB RAM variant, while the 8GB RAM version cost at Rs 37,999. The View 10 of Honor costs just Rs 29,999. In terms of price, the Honor View 10 makes every sense as it is couple of grands cheaper. However, we urge you to check out their design as that holds the key to one’s liking. Performance wise both are equally good, with a slight edge for Honor View 10 in the camera department, besides the extra storage and bigger battery.
