The Helio X25 has an upper hand over the Snapdragon 821 chipset due to its deca-core compatibility. It can easily handle 3D games and 2K/4K super clear video playback. The three-cluster deca-core architecture on Vernee Apollo provides optimum performance and extended battery life. Although, regular smartphone usage doesn’t require that much power in terms of performance. So you won’t notice any major difference in real-time usage of both smartphones.
The OnePlus 3T receives the acceleration from its 6GB of RAM which is higher than the 4GB of Vernee Apollo. While so, it is notable that the latest smartphones of the age, Samsung Galaxy S7, and Galaxy S7 Edge still utilizes a 4GB of RAM in it. So the RAM difference won’t influence the overall user experience.
The OnePlus 3T offers 16MP cameras both at the front and rear panel. The Vernee Apollo has a 21MP primary rear camera and an 8MP front shooter for selfies and video call.
The OnePlus 3T scores high in AnTuTu benchmark and is more practical in overall functionality and balance. Additionally, the Apollo has a 2K display which is ideal for VR experience.
The OnePlus 3T offers 20W Dash Charge feature whereas the Vernee Apollo has an 18W Vcharge. The fast charging features on both devices are almost the same; however, OnePlus 3T charges a little faster than Apollo.
