A few days after the launch of the iPhone 12 on October 13, OnePlus unveiled the OnePlus 8T

- Apple’s A14 Bionic chip that supplies the iPhone 12 will be ahead of the Qualcomm SoC on the OnePlus 8T. Based on the 5nm production process, it should come with better processing power and battery management. This gives the iPhone 12 a huge advantage when compared to the OnePlus 8T. The iPhone 2 comes with a 2,815mAh battery.
Camera

Advantages
- OnePlus 8T has a strategic advantage in the form of a 65W fast charge, 120Hz refresh rate and fast overall performance with Android 11 and OxygenOS11 radically improved.
- On the other hand, the iPhone comes with the advanced A14 Bionic chip which has superior performance as opposed to the Snapdragon 865, protective screen, wireless charging, water and dust resistance with IP68 rating and better video shooting capability.
Where should go your money?
- Both devices are excellent. The OnePlus 8T is a worthy update to the OnePlus 8, but it loses some things that could have made it a great ‘killer’.

So, this time, the iPhone 12 is a slightly better bet than the OnePlus 8T.
