If you want a better display then it's One Plus 7 PRO, if you want a better camera then it's the Oppo Reno 10x.
Design wise Oppo Reno 10x looks beautiful, likewise the curved display on One Plus 7 PRO also looks great, but design is always a personal choice.
I own a One Plus 7 6GB variant and this Oppo Reno 10x, and my friends lent me Huawei P30 PRO and One Plus 7 PRO for comparing. Here are my detailed observation's.
Below is my observation on Oppo Reno 10x zoom compared to devices like One Plus 7, One Plus 7 PRO which are priced very similar.
CAMERA - FRONT
==============
👍 16MP f/2.0 26mm wide - excellent selfies and Oppo has already mastered this art.
👍 Shark Fin pop-up design which has lesser moving parts, looks cooler and better than regular pop-up camera
CAMERA - BACK
=============
👍 Triple camera setup offering a total 16mm to 160mm focal length of photography and has OIS and EIS.
👍 Primary camera is 48MP Sony IMX586 sensor, with f/1.7 aperture, 26mm wide, has Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), and Laser/PDAF.
👍 Periscope design 13MP f/3.0, 130mm, 5x optical zoom telephoto camera that has Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), and Laser/PDAF. - Allows 10x almost lossless Hybrid zoom
👍 Ultrawide camera with 8MP, f/2.2, 16mm
🆗 Slow-mo: 4K at 60fps/30fps, 1080@60fps/30fps, 720p@60fps/30fps. Not the greatest but still not bad at all.
🆗 The flash sits on the rising Hark Fin pop-up so it raises for photos with flash light.
>> Indoor photography for closer objects was great upto 4.9x zoom, but outside photography was excellent upto 10x, with 60x the photos was okay. Pictures with 1x,2x,6x,10x,60x
>> The low light camera performance of Oppo Reno 10x is much better than One Plus 7 & 7PRO and in few cases better than Samsung S10 Plus too (not all times), but not equal to Huawei P30 PRO.
>> Oppo Reno 10x and Samsung S10 Plus daylight photography is almost equal, in different settings one performed better than the other and vice-versa so you know how good the camera is.

BATTERY & CHARGING
===================

👍 Color OS 6 on top of Android 9.0 (Pie) - lots of features, simpler, cleaner and much better than ColorOS-5. Notification can be swiped up or replies can be done from notification.

OVERALL - WORTHY BUY
======== :::::::::::::::::::::
👌🏼 A great phone for pure performance in terms of Processing and Camera.
👌🏼 Absolute buy for anyone who is looking to into Video Blogging, Gaming, Multiprocessing and applications that requires large resources like video editing on the go.
👌🏼 Great camera with multiple options and features makes this a good contenter to the Huawei Mate 20 and P30 PRO, though P30 PRO is outstanding and better but expensive.
👉 If Display is the most important with SD855 processor go with One Plus 7 PRO.
👉 If Camera & Battery is most important with SD855 processor go with Oppo Reno 10x
>> In my perspective I loved the curved 2K display of One Plus 7 but that 90Hz (can be reduced to 60Hz) and 2K display is draining the battery faster and on-screen time is less than 4 hrs for high usage.
>> When compared to One Plus 7 am bigger Battery, Higher RAM and storage, great Telephoto Lens with 10x hybrid zoom, a good Ulta-Wide Camera, the flagship Sony IMX586 48MP camera and a very good post-picture software processing from OPPO. Also the Ultra Night Mode 2.0 for low light photography is very good and can be ranked next to Huawei P30 PRO.
>>With even more money to spend the Samsung S10 PLUS versioncan be better option than One Plus 7 PRO or Oppo Reno10x with Samsung having better display than Oppo. And with surplus money the Huawei P30 pro for ultimate camera performance, but no android or Google app updates after 3 months due to US restrictions on Huawei & Honor.
Certainly Oppo Reno 10x is a great all-rounder and I loved my Oppo Reno 10x than my One Plus 7. 💟 Thanks for Amazon for the quick delivery and getting exclusive.
>> If price is an issue, One Plus 7 is definitely a good alternative with great specs but lesser camera options and battery. If you are on a budget and want a flagship killer, you might want to wait for Xiaomi’s Redmi K20 PRO which is planned for release by mid-July and will hopefully be sold cheaper than One Plus 7. Xiaomi usually has a lot of bloatware and advertisements in app but might change. We need to wait and see the comparison for the flagship killer awards. Also Poco F2 to be released soon but will not use the Snapdragon D855.
❓ Oppo Reno 10x zoom is not completing for the Flagship Killer title like One Plus and Xiaomi. But this is the best device from Oppo till date and is a perfect all-rounder.
UPDATE: After a month of use, i loved this phone than my One Plus 7. The camera is super awesome both for videos and still photos, even in low light conditions. The Color OS 6 upon usage seems to be very good, no lags, very clean and simple interface, always have 3.8-4GB of free RAM even with huge number of application installed. I can reply from notifications, or swipe up notification, options to mark certain notification as unimportant so they don't pop up but remains hidden until we expand (i guess it a PIE feature but very well used by ColorOS6,). Vibrations can be felt on the back of the phone while speaking on call on full volume but not definitely not a deal breaker and its very less and won't feel if you use a case. I feel i had made a perfect choice on buying this phone.
