Another must-have phablet in the emerging field of mid / high range is the new Huawei NovaPlus and we are going to face him today OnePlus 3T in our comparison. Although it is always difficult for a conventional manufacturer to compete with the low-cost ones, if there is one capable of doing it, it is surely Huawei, which has reaped its current popularity thanks in large part to its low prices. Let's check by reviewing the Technical specifications of both how closely he has stayed on this occasion.
Integrated
Given that Huawei It usually leaves us even in the most affordable models of its Honor range metal casing, we could not expect less for this Nova Plus, which has nothing to envy in finishes and materials, therefore, when OnePlus 3T. How could it be less, both also have a fingerprint reader (on the front in the phablet of OnePlus and in the back in that of Huawei).
Dimensions
In the dimension section we find minimal differences both in size (15,27x7,47 inch against 15,18x7,57 inch) and thickness (7,4 mm against 7,3 mm) and by weight (158 grams against 160 grams), so it is completely impossible to give an advantage to either of them, which in the hands must appear practically identical.
Screens
Nor is there much to tip the balance from one side or the other in the screen section, since in both cases we have 5.5 inches, Full HD resolution (1920 x 1080) and consequently a pixel density of PPI 401. The only data that distinguishes them is that the OnePlus 3T uses an AMOLED panel, while on the Nova Plus we have an LCD.
Performance
Your hardware is always one of the main attractions of the OnePlus compared to other low-cost and the same we find when comparing it with the Nova Plus even though it comes with a rather interesting Snapdragon 625 (eight cores and 2,0 GHz maximum frequency) and 3 GB RAM memory. Its rival, however, can boast of mounting a Snapdragon 821 (quad-core and 2,35 GHz) Y 6 GB of RAM.
Storage capacity
Regarding storage capacity, which one is the most interesting of us will depend on our priorities in this regard: the OnePlus 3T has more internal memory (64 GB) but it does not give us the possibility of extending it externally, while the Nova Plus arrives with "only" 32 GB, but it has a card slot micro-SD.
Cameras
In the cameras section the OnePlus 3T takes the victory thanks to its front camera of 16 MP, which easily surpasses that of 8 MP that we find in the Nova Plus. If the selfie camera, however, does not concern us too much, the phablet of Huawei can be just as good option, since they are very close in technical specifications for the front camera, with 16 MP, f / 2.0 aperture and optical image stabilizer in both cases.
Autonomy
Slight advantage for him OnePlus 3T in terms of battery capacity (3400 mAh against 3340 mAh), probably not enough to be able to predict a victory in the tests of real use, taking into account that the autonomy also depends a lot on the consumption. We will have to wait to see the results of the independent tests, therefore, to draw definitive conclusions.
Price
Also in this case we find two phablets that are very close in price and, surprisingly, it is Huawei's that would be somewhat cheaper, although the difference is negligible: the OnePlus 3T will be sold for $440 and Nova Plus it was announced by $430 (Although it is beginning to be seen in some import distributors for prices below 400 euros). The difference of 10 euros, in any case, will probably not be decisive for almost any buyer, so it seems that its design and its respective strengths and weaknesses should be the deciding factors.
