The budget smartphone segment is highly competitive with new devices frequently entering the fray. The latest entrant is the Infinix GT 10 Pro, announced for a price of Rs 19,999.
A very close competitor to the device is the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite, both of which promise to deliver high-quality features at an affordable price point.
While they both compete in the same segment, they offer different user experiences based on their hardware and software configurations.
This article delves into a comparison between the Infinix GT 10 Pro and the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite, focusing on key areas such as performance, software, display, camera, and battery life.
Performance
The Infinix GT 10 Pro is powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 8050 chipset coupled with 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM, whereas the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite uses Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 695 Processor with the same RAM.
With its new chipset and faster performance, the GT 10 Pro is definitely a better choice for users whether they are multitasking or gaming. However, both sets of chipsets are quite reliable for processing needs in this price bracket.
Verdict: The Infinix GT 10 Pro is a clear winner in this category thanks to its superior chipset.
Software
The software experience on both phones is somewhat different due to their different OS skins. The Infinix GT 10 Pro uses XOS 13, which is based on Android 13.
This skin offers a custom user interface and additional features tailored by Infinix. On the other hand, OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite runs on OxygenOS, which is also based on Android 13.
OxygenOS is known for its close-to-stock Android experience and clean user interface. Your choice might depend on whether you prefer a more customised user experience or something closer to stock Android.
However, Infinix has actually cut down a fair bit of the bloatware that used to plague the device.
Verdict: Both devices offer an equal amount of interaction with their respective skins, but in our opinion, OnePlus’ OxygenOS can be considered better suited for users
Display
The Infinix GT 10 Pro comes with a 6.67-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The AMOLED technology offers vibrant colours, deep blacks and wider viewing angles. Coupled with a higher refresh rate, the GT 10 Pro offers a smoother and visually appealing interface.
On the other hand, the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite is equipped with a slightly larger 6.72-inch IPS LCD Display that also supports a 120Hz refresh rate.
While the IPS LCD provides good colour accuracy and visibility from different angles, it may not match the colour saturation and contrast offered by the AMOLED on the GT 10 Pro.
Verdict: In terms of display, the Infinix GT 10 Pro takes the lead due to its AMOLED technology which tends to offer superior visuals compared to the IPS LCD of the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite.
Cameras
On paper, both smartphones have similar camera configurations. They each have a triple camera setup on the back, with a 108MP primary sensor and two 2MP secondary sensors.
However, the selfie cameras differ: the Infinix GT 10 Pro offers a 32MP front camera, significantly higher resolution than the 16MP sensor in the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite.
This could make a difference for those who frequently take selfies or use their front camera for video calls.
Also, the Infinix GT 10 Pro is capable of 4K video recording, which is not the case for the Nord CE 3 Lite’s ability to only shoot up to 1080p videos.

Verdict: The rear cameras on both sets of devices are exactly the same. However, the GT 10 Pro again takes the cake with its superior selfie shooter and the ability to shoot 4K video.
Battery
Both phones pack a substantial 5,000mAh battery, promising all-day usage. However, when it comes to charging speed, the Infinix GT 10 Pro lags behind with its 45W fast charging capability, as compared to the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite, whose charging speeds are at 67W.
Fast charging can be a significant convenience factor, allowing you to quickly top up your battery and reduce the time spent tethered to a charger.
Verdict: The OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite takes the cake with its faster charging speeds.
Conclusion
In conclusion, both the Infinix GT 10 Pro and OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite smartphones offer a lot to the budget consumer.
The Infinix GT 10 Pro emerges as a clear winner in terms of performance and camera metrics, thanks to its superior MediaTek Dimensity 8050 chipset, enhanced gaming features, higher resolution selfie camera, and 4K video recording capability.
The AMOLED panel on the handset offers more crisp visuals while refreshing at 120Hz. Apart from that the device also promises a cleaner-than-before and user-friendly software experience with the XOS 13 skin.
Finally, the GT 10 Pro has a rather outlandish design which can be to your taste if you like to play mobile games
The OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite, on the other hand, excels in charging speed with its 67W fast charging support and offers a clean, near-stock Android experience with OxygenOS.
Its performance and videography output can leave something to be desired while its design is nowhere near as flamboyant as the GT 10 Pro.
Also, the IPS LCD panel is going to be a bit less vibrant and lacking in dynamic range as compared to the AMOLED screen on the GT 10 Pro.
In the end, the choice between the two boils down to personal preference and what features are more important to the individual user.
Both phones promise excellent value for money and are strong contenders in the competitive budget smartphone segment.
