Speed test:
Gadget experts with access to OnePlus 6 and iPhone X have already tested them for speed. The OnePlus 6 was released with the tagline ‘The speed you need’ and it lives up to expectations. There are two types of speed tests that are carried out. The first speed test is when selected apps on both phones are opened one after the other.
The time it takes to load these apps on each device is recorded. In this test, we found that iPhone X trails closely behind the OnePlus 6. So is One Plus 6 better than iPhone X when it comes to speed? Well, yes, it sure is better at multitasking.
The second test is when the phones are made to recall from memory, apps that have been opened before. We haven’t performed this test yet, but given that the OnePlus 6 sports a massive 8GB of RAM, it would be safe to assume that OnePlus6 will lead and that makes One Plus 6 better than iPhone X when it comes to speed.
Battery:
The battery on OnePlus 6 is slightly bigger when we compare battery to iPhone X. iPhone X carries a 2,716 mAh battery while the OnePlus 6 utilizes a 3,300 mAh battery. Given that the OnePlus 6 has a bigger screen and RAM to power, it would be interesting to see which device lasts longer.
In our tests, we saw that the phones have a screen on time of about 10 hours. This was tested on an LTE network and hence, it is evident that both devices have excellent battery optimization under the hood. It was a close race between the two, but the iPhone X outlasted OnePlus 6 by a few minutes.
Also, both devices feature fast charging. OnePlus 6 claims to charge up to 60 percent in 30 minutes, which was successfully tested. Similarly, iPhone X’s claims to charge 50 percent in 30 minutes were found to be true.
The only disappointment was that the iPhone X does not ship with a fast charger in the box. One will have to buy it separately. iPhone X also supports wireless charging but the wireless charger has to be bought separately as well. OnePlus 6 does not support wireless charging. When we compare battery, we can conclude that One Plus 6 better than iPhone X as it ships with the fast charger in the box and charges faster too.

Conclusion:
Only a few points have been compared to give a general idea about where the two smartphones stand. The USPs for both phones are different. The iPhone X will see more sales because of brand value and excellent reputation. OnePlus 6 will see sales because of its pioneering technologies. In the end, it is up to users to choose what they think will be a better fit for them.
