Here are the advantages of each device:

OnePlus 6

Larger screen size
Slightly higher screen aspect ratio and resolution
Corning Gorilla Glass 5
Better performing chipset in terms of raw performance
Longer slow-mo
More power-efficient RAM module
Larger RAM options
Better Bluetooth
4×4 MIMO

Huawei P20 Pro

Better performing chipset when it comes to Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Triple camera setup
Higher rear camera resolution
Higher front camera resolution
960fps slow-mo
LTE Cat.18
IP67 certification
Higher battery capacity

There is only a minor difference in the screen size of the OnePlus 6 and Huawei P20 Pro. However, OnePlus’ device has more screen real estate thanks to the taller aspect ratio. Resolution and quality-wise, both devices are the same though the P20 Pro has a very minor advantage in terms of actual pixels per inch (ppi). So, the choice will all come down to a bigger screen or a more compressed and denser experience.

Performance-wise, the OnePlus 6 takes the money when it comes to raw power, thanks to its Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset. It also has a more power-efficient ram in the form of LPDDR4X, as opposed to the P20 Pro’s LPDDR4. Although when it comes to AI, the P20 Pro’s HiSilicon Kirin 970 has a better dedicated Neural Processing Unit (NPU), the component that handles AI tasks, as the Snapdragon 845 only uses its CPU and GPU to mimic an NPU.

On paper, the P20 Pro has the better camera setup with its triple rear and higher resolution front shooters. It also currently holds the top spot in DxOMark’s charts, you can check out our sample photos of the P20 Pro here. Although, we have yet to test the true capabilities of the OnePlus 6′ cameras. There’s also the fact that OnePlus is boasting a maximum of a minute of slow-mo recording, current phones, including the P20 Pro, is limited to only a few seconds of this.

Battery-wise, the P20 Pro takes the money due to the higher capacity, but then again, the OnePlus 6′ Dash charging is known to be incredibly fast. We’ll have to see how this compares to the equally impressive SuperCharge of Huawei’s flagship.

We have a bit of a mixed stand-off when it comes to connectivity. The OnePlus 6 supports 4×4 MIMO while the Huawei P20 Pro has better Cat.18 LTE connectivity. MIMO stands for Multi-Input Multi-Output; it is the ability to take and send data to a network using multiple streams or passages for faster transfer speeds. A 4×4 MIMO means that it should need 4 antennas and has a maximum capacity of 4 network passages. LTE Cat.18, on the other hand, can support a maximum of 6 bandwidths thanks to its 6CA support and can hit a maximum of 1.2Gbps downlinks. The OnePlus 6 also has a Bluetooth 5.0 as opposed to the P20 Pro’s Bluetooth 4.2

There’s also the proper IP67 rating of the P20 Pro, whereas the OnePlus 6′ water resistance rating is yet to be identified.

The OnePlus 6 is priced at USD 529 (~Php27,700) for 6GB + 64GB, USD 579 (~Php30,300) for 8GB + 128GB, and USD 629 (~Php32,900) for 8GB + 256GB while the Huawei P20 Pro is currently priced at Php 44,990.
