It’s almost the end of the year 2016 and time has come to look out for the smartphones that are coming up on the market in 2017. Two of the biggest releases that are on the cards in the upcoming year are OnePlus 4 and Samsung Galaxy Note 8. OnePlus has been in the news recently for OnePlus 3T, their latest release of this year. And now news have come out that OnePlus 4 will be released in the early part of 2017. On the other hand, Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is also on the cards as Samsung is looking forward to putting behind their disappointing Samsung Galaxy Note 7. And a comparison between these two upcoming devices is worth making.
OnePlus 4 vs Galaxy Note 8: Design
OnePlus has released some amazing devices in recent times. However, with the upgrades made in the features of the devices, it would be too much to expect a major upgrade in its design as well. And in this case, Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is going to be winner hands down. This is also because of the fact that rumours have come out that Samsung Galaxy Note 8 might be the first flexible device ever.
OnePlus 4 vs Galaxy Note 8: Processor
OnePlus 4 is expected to have a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset which is going to be extremely fast. But nothing has been reported regarding the processor that would come in Samsung Galaxy Note 8. However, rumours have suggested that it will be equipped with an artificial intelligence assistant.
OnePlus 4 vs Galaxy Note 8: Display
It is expected that Samsung Galaxy Note 8 will be having a great display feature. And it is in the rumours that it might have a 6.2-inch screen with a bezel-free body. Also, it is expected that Samsung Galaxy Note 8 will be having a 4K resolution which will bring it at par with numerous high-end devices. On the other hand, OnePlus is also expected to be working on its display features as well. It is anticipated that OnePlus 4 will be having a 1440×2560 pixels display resolution which, although doesn’t come much closer to Samsung’s upcoming flagship device, is bound to be reasonably good.
OnePlus 4 vs Galaxy Note 8: RAM and Internal Storage
It is estimated that OnePlus 4 will be having a 6 GB or 8 GB RAM which is quite staggering. Samsung Galaxy Note 8 might also come with 6 GB or even more. So not much of a difference can be expected on this front. Also, the internal storage is slated to be almost equal in both these devices, and it is going to be 128 GB if the rumours turn out to be true.
OnePlus 4 vs Galaxy Note 8: Camera
Samsung all this while has come up with great camera features in all of their devices. Although nothing has been mentioned regarding what’s going to be the camera features of this device, it can be said that it’s going to be top class yet again with dual camera setup in both rear and front. OnePlus 4 of late has made a lot of ground when it comes to camera features. And it is supposed that OnePlus 4 will be featuring a camera that would have Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR) features associated with it. So OnePlus 4 is definitely going to be a mighty force to reckon in this section.
OnePlus 4 vs Galaxy Note 8: Battery
It could turn out to be a close fight in this section as OnePLus 4 is going to have a 4,000 mAh battery. Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is also estimated to be having a 4,000 mAh battery if it isn’t brought down to 3,500 mAh.
