Samsung Galaxy S24, iPhone 2024, OnePlus 10 pro, and Google pixel 7 Pro will be selected as the subject of comparison whereas the comparison criteria will include design, the type of display, the performance ratio of the camera, battery capacity, and lastly the general usability.
1. Design
One of the first factors that we will discuss is design – despite being very relative, it still plays an important role when selecting a device. It’s a glass and metal body, it’s almost edge to edge screen with water and pressure resistance. On the hand, the iPhone 2024 has stainless steel frame along with the Ceramic Shield front cover, which offers high durability and more sturdiness. It is available in five color options: The five stars can be associated with Black, White, Red, Yellow and Blue.
Thelatest flagship fromOnePlus ispacked withextensivefeatures and comes with a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with an unusual wraparound design. This is one major advantage it has over other such devices on the market, even if this does not necessarily mean it is ideal for everyone. The Google Pixel 7 Pro does not follow this trend, instead sticking to a polished aluminum frame with somewhat of a glass back, and an IP68 rating.
Ergonomically the iPhone 2024 is probably the best out there, they are light and have a compact touch. The Galaxy S24 and OnePlus 10 Pro respectively are around five grams and a few millimetres heavier and larger, a downside to folks with small hands. Google Pixel 7 Pro also provides a balanced size which is easily to manage but the overall weight is a tad little up compared to its competitors.
2. Display
The next essential feature of any smartphone is the display, and, to our surprise, each of the phones on our list performs well in this area. The next aspect is the display of the device: Galaxy S24 has AMOLED screen measuring 6.2 inch, QHD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate is given, that means the image on the screen is highly detailed, bright and smooth.

In another area that has received a pretty solid upgrade, the maximum brightness one can use outside in the bright sunshine while using the iPhone, has also seen a huge change.
OnePlus 10 Pro comes with a 6.7-inches LTPO2 display with QHD+ resolution and an adaptive 120Hz refresh rate. This enables display with a varying refresh rate as a means of saving power while delivering smooth visuals on a screen.
Finally, the Google Pixel 7 Pro boasts of a screen size of 6.7 inches,lington with an AMOLED LTPO, and a pixel density of 512 ppi with 120 Hz refresh rates of QHD+. Just like the OnePlus 10 Pro, it has an optimized refresh rate to cut power consumption at the same time as delivering top performance. Nevertheless, it could not go as bright as the OnePlus at its brightest.

That features a 48 MP main camera, a 50 MP ultra wide lens and an 8 MP telephoto lens. In other words, the camera is very good but not quite as good as that of the Galaxy S24 or the iPhone 2024.
Last but not least, the Google Pixel 7 Pro once again improves results with a new three-camera configuration, including a main camera with a resolution of 50 megapixels, an ultrawide camera with 12 megapixels, and a 48-megapixel telephoto camera. The presence of a powerful image processing application in the Google device allows for the capturing of great pictures with a good depth and very low noise levels especially under poor lighting conditions.
