Display Comparison
The iPhone 14 Plus boasts a measured peak brightness of 797 nits, ensuring excellent visibility outdoors. While the Reno8 Pro’s display specs are not provided, Oppo typically employs AMOLED panels with vibrant colors. The iPhone 14 Plus’s ‘infinite’ contrast ratio, characteristic of OLED technology, delivers deep blacks and a visually striking image. The lack of LTPO in either device suggests both operate at fixed refresh rates, potentially impacting power consumption during static content viewing compared to adaptive refresh rate displays.
Camera Comparison
Both devices offer photo and video capabilities, but detailed sensor information is limited for the Reno8 Pro. The iPhone 14 Plus likely leverages a larger main sensor and Apple’s computational photography prowess for superior image quality, particularly in low-light conditions. The Reno8 Pro may rely on software enhancements to compensate for potentially smaller sensors. Without specific aperture and sensor size details for the Reno8 Pro, it’s difficult to assess its low-light performance relative to the iPhone 14 Plus. The iPhone’s video recording capabilities are renowned for their stabilization and dynamic range.
Performance
The core difference lies in the chipsets: Apple’s A15 Bionic (5nm) versus Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 (4nm). The A15’s hexa-core architecture, with its 3.23 GHz Avalanche cores, provides a performance advantage in single-core tasks and sustained workloads. The Snapdragon 7 Gen 1, while utilizing a more power-efficient 4nm process, features an octa-core configuration with a mix of Cortex-A710 and A510 cores. This suggests the Reno8 Pro may excel in multi-threaded tasks but will likely fall behind in demanding gaming scenarios. The A15’s integrated GPU is also significantly more powerful, offering a smoother gaming experience. The iPhone 14 Plus benefits from Apple’s tight software-hardware integration, optimizing performance and efficiency.
Battery Life
Both phones achieve an impressive endurance rating of 102 hours, indicating comparable battery life under similar usage conditions. However, the charging speeds differ dramatically. The Oppo Reno8 Pro’s 80W wired charging can replenish the battery to 45% in just 10 minutes and fully charge it in 31 minutes. The iPhone 14 Plus, with its 50% charge in 30 minutes via wired PD2.0, is significantly slower. While the iPhone 14 Plus supports 15W wireless charging (MagSafe and Qi2 with iOS 17.2), the Reno8 Pro also offers reverse wired charging, adding to its versatility.
Buying Guide
Buy the Oppo Reno8 Pro (China) if you need blazing-fast 80W charging, are comfortable with the ColorOS software experience, and prioritize value for money. Buy the Apple iPhone 14 Plus if you prefer the iOS ecosystem, demand long-term software updates, and value a consistently smooth and optimized user experience, even if it means slower charging speeds.
