Display Comparison
The Realme GT3 boasts a higher peak brightness of 974 nits compared to the OnePlus 11's 767 nits, offering potentially better visibility in direct sunlight. Both phones feature AMOLED displays with excellent contrast ratios (nominally infinite), vibrant colors, and smooth refresh rates (likely 120Hz for both, though not explicitly stated). The OnePlus 11's display calibration might be slightly more accurate out of the box, but the GT3's brightness advantage is noticeable.
Camera Comparison
Camera details are sparse in the provided data. However, based on general knowledge, the OnePlus 11 is expected to have a more versatile and refined camera system, likely featuring Hasselblad color calibration and improved image processing. The GT3's camera is likely decent, but not a primary selling point. Expect better low-light performance and dynamic range from the OnePlus 11.
Performance
The OnePlus 11's Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is the clear winner here. It offers significantly improved CPU and GPU performance compared to the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 in the Realme GT3. This translates to smoother multitasking, faster app loading times, and better gaming performance. While the GT3 is still a capable performer, the Gen 2 provides a noticeable edge.
Battery Life
The Realme GT3's endurance rating of 117h is impressive, suggesting excellent battery efficiency. However, the OnePlus 11's active use score of 11:05h is also respectable. The key differentiator is charging speed: the GT3's 240W charging is unmatched, allowing for incredibly fast top-ups. The OnePlus 11's 100W charging is still very fast, but not as revolutionary.
Buying Guide
The Realme GT3 is ideal for users who prioritize incredibly fast charging above all else and enjoy a more aggressive, gaming-focused aesthetic. The OnePlus 11 is perfect for those seeking a well-rounded flagship with a powerful processor, excellent camera, and a smooth, OxygenOS experience.
