I am, of course, talking about theiPhone 16 Pro Max.
However, there are a couple of interesting alterations that impact how you use the unit.
Both phones come with flatter sides than older models, and much thinner bezels.

However, the biggest difference between both devices is the OnePlus signature camera block.
Its striking, and OnePlus recently improved the design by making the cameras appear more streamlined.
However, it can be a bit disconcerting when resting in your pocket.
Both phones offer 120Hz refresh rates, but thats where the similarities come to an end.
It reaches a peak brightness of 1,553 nits, versus the 1,104 nits of the OnePlus 13.
However the OnePlus scored much better on color breadth and accuracy.
However, it should be noted that the OnePlus 13 is making use of its new RadientView system.
This system adjusts the displays color, contrast and brightness of specific screen areas to help increase visibility.
When it comes to the selfie cameras both phones leave a bit to be desired.

The iPhone is the clear loser on paper with a 12MP camera.
Meanwhile, the OnePlus has a much more detailed 32MP selfie camera.
The numbers only tell half the story and the competition is a little closer than many might imagine.

That’s why it remains abest camera phonecontender.
The iPhone 16 Pro Max is no different and it really pushes what theA18 Prochip can do.
However, multi-core scores had much less of a gap, with the iPhone only just coming ahead.

Despite this, the OnePlus 13 is making use of the most powerfulQualcommchip currently available, theSnapdragon 8 Elite.
So, in theory, it should vastly outperform the older iPhone right?
Well, not exactly.

So, if you’re looking for a gaming phone, then the OnePlus is the better option.
It manages to last for 19 hours and 45 minutes in our benchmark testing.
While this is impressive, and the longest-lasting iPhone released thus far, its still a pretty major difference.

Meanwhile, the iPhone 16 Pro Max offers the peak of the recently releasediOS 18.2, includingApple Intelligence.
We have a full breakdown of the difference in ouriPhone vs Androidarticle, but it mostly revolves around usability.
However, those that have been released are pretty impressive, with the best being theVisual Intelligencefeature.

Its an interesting idea, but you would never buy a phone just because of it.
It combines everything we love about Android, from the design to the software, in an affordable package.
