| Connectivity | Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth v6.0 | Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth v6.0 | Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth v6.0 |
The realme GT 8 Pro and the OnePlus 15 have one thing in common: they both use the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 (3nm) SoC. The chipset features an octa-core CPU with two 4.60 GHz prime cores, the Adreno 840 GPU (with hardware accelerated raytracing), the Hexgaon NPU for handling on-device AI processing, and UFs 4.1 storage.
However, there’s a difference in the type of memory the phones use. The realme GT 8 Pro features up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM, while the OnePlus 15 features up to 16GB of LPDDR5X Ultra+ RAM, the fastest in the segment. Even so, both the phones use UFS 4.1 storage, which is more efficient and reliable than the UFS 4.0 storage type used on the 2024 flagships. Furthermore, both the phones also include a co-processing unit (HyperVision+ AI chip on the realme GT 8 Pro and G2 gaming network chip on the OnePlus 15) for improving gaming performance.
The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 is currently among the most powerful chipsets on a commercially available smartphones, implying that it can handle everything you can possibly do on a smartphone. This includes all the creative stuff such as editing and rendering 4K videos, color grading photos, or playing the most demanding video games on the highest settings. As mentioned in our thorough review of the devices, both of them perform really well under sustained loads, especially when it comes to controlling the temperature from rising beyond optimal limits (thanks to the built-in vapor chambers).

The Find X9, on the other hand, sports the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 (3nm) SoC, which also features an octa-core CPU with a 4.21 GHz prime core, the Arm G1-Ultra GPU, and the NPU 990. Altogether, the components provide top-notch performance. The phone can handle everything you can throw at it, just like the other two phones, but it is every-so-slightly behind in terms of peak performance (due to the difference in the prime cores’ clock speed), and, consequently, the benchmark scores.
It is worth mentioning here that only the OnePlus 15 supports Battlegrounds Mobile India and Call of Duty: Mobile at 165fps, while the other two phones max out at 120fps. So, if competitive or ultra-responsive gaming is your priority, the OnePlus 15 could be a good option. This doesn’t mean that the other phones don’t perform extremely well during gaming.

The Find X9 comes equipped with ColorOS 16, which also offers Mind Space, AI Recorder, AI Portrait Glow, and AI Scan. The user interface also provides smoother animations and Motion Cues to reduce motion sickness. It is worth mentioning that the Find X9 is the only phone that will get five years of operating system and six years of security updates.
Hence, if longevity is your requirement, the Find X9 provides a clear edge over the other two phones. However, if you’ve previously used a realme UI or a OxygenOS phone, you might want to switch to a phone with a familiar user interface.

| Max Video Resolution & Frame Rate | 4K@60fps | 4K@60fps | 4K@60fps |
All the phones include a 50MP primary camera, but the sensor on the Find X9 is the biggest among all. In other words, it should provide better low-light performance, higher background blur, and more details. While the GT 8 Pro and the OnePlus 15 support 8K30 video recording, the Find X9 is limited to 4K120.
For the smartphone photography enthusiasts, the GT 8 Pro features not only the highest-resolution zoom camera, but the biggest sensor of them all. As a result, it should, in theory, provide more detailed shots at highe zoom levels, such as at 6x or 10x. However, beyond that, it is the computational pipeline that takes over. Hence, expect to see rather similar results from all the phones at the highest — 120x — zoom level.
When it comes to the ultrawide cameras, the Find X9 has the biggest sensor with the widest field of view. While the camera on the handset features autofocus (similar to the OnePlus 15), realme GT 8 Pro’s ultrawide camera lacks the ability. All the phones have a similar selfie camera, but only the one on the OnePlus 15 has an autofocus.
All the companies have exclusive partnerships for their imaging pipeline and exclusive camera features. The realme GT 8 Pro, for instance, partnered with Ricoh Imaging and also includes dedicated GR Mode with quick shutter response and support for two full-frame-equivalent focal lengths. The OnePlus 15 comes with the DetailMax Engine that fine-tunes images captures with the relatively smaller but equally capable camera sensors. Meanwhile, Oppo retains its partnership with Hasselblad.
