**The Battle for Thumb Style Speed Test Champ: OnePlus 7 Pro vs Samsung S21+**
In the latest installment of our flagship smartphone showdown, we pit two powerful devices against each other to determine which one can reign supreme as the fastest smartphone on the market. The contestants? The OnePlus 7 Pro and the Samsung S21+. Both phones boast impressive specs, but only one can emerge victorious in our rigorous speed test.
The first round takes place on Facebook, where both phones quickly recover from any initial lag. However, the OnePlus 7 Pro manages to pull ahead, followed closely by its competitor. But when we switch to Starbucks and load up a document, the S21+ starts to gain ground, pulling neck and neck with the OnePlus 7 Pro. Despite having pop-up selfie cameras, neither phone lets it hinder their performance.
As we move on to Microsoft Word and process a massive 500-page document, the OnePlus 7 Pro takes the lead once again, thanks in part to its faster UFS 3.0 storage. However, both phones perform remarkably well, with the S21+ managing to stay within striking distance. The camera test doesn't seem to faze either phone, as they both capture stunning images in Snapseed.
In a more intensive test, we add two different filters to the same photo and ask both phones to process it. To our surprise, the OnePlus 7 Pro is able to complete the task at an even faster rate than before, solidifying its lead. The S21+, on the other hand, struggles to keep up, falling behind in the browser test.
However, when we enter the gaming row and load up Fit the Fats, the S21+ finally starts to make some ground, albeit late in the game. It's a testament to the phone's massive 12GB of RAM that it can handle multiple tasks simultaneously without breaking a sweat. Still, with its extra load from its 90Hz display, we were expecting a slight dip in performance.
In the final round, Bullet Force, the OnePlus 7 Pro takes an early lead, blazing through both Spotify and ESPN like a hot knife through butter. The S21+, on the other hand, struggles to keep up, loading the game at a slower rate. As we move on to the second lap, it's clear that the phone has found its stride, but ultimately falls short by a significant margin.
**The Verdict: OnePlus 7 Pro Reigns Supreme**
With its blistering performance in all aspects of our speed test, the OnePlus 7 Pro emerges victorious as the new champion of Thumb Style Speed Test. Its impressive specs, including that extra load from its 90Hz display, paid off in the end. Despite some initial hesitation in certain tests, the phone consistently delivered under pressure.
The Samsung S21+, on the other hand, showed a remarkable amount of resilience and consistency throughout the test, but ultimately fell short of the OnePlus 7 Pro's pace. Its massive 12GB of RAM and UFS 3.0 storage made it a formidable opponent, but in the end, it wasn't enough to overcome the OnePlus 7 Pro's superior performance.
