Highlights The OnePlus Nord 3, iQOO Neo 7 Pro, and Poco F5 offer compelling features at competitive prices in the Indian mid-tier premium smartphone market. The Nord 3 leads with display brightness and premium design, while the Neo 7 Pro excels in fast charging and boasts a robust Snapdragon chipset. The Poco F5, on the other hand, offers Dolby Vision support, a superior primary camera, and the advantage of being lightweight and slim. The high-end midrange smartphone market in India is brimming with activity. OnePlus announced Nord 3 5G earlier this month for a price of Rs 33,999. Former Vivo sub-brand iQOO also launched the Neo 7 Pro 5G last month. Additionally, there is also the Poco's F5 5G, priced just under Rs 30,000, which is turning a few heads as well. All three devices, with their compelling hardware packaged in appealing bodies, are poised to make waves in the market thanks to their unbeatable value. However, it is prudent to know which of these devices is good for your needs. Each handset carries a unique selling point that differentiates it from the others and all three are strong contenders for the title of the best mid-tier premium smartphones in the market. We are going to compare these three phones head-to-head to evaluate their merits. So, let's begin. Display The OnePlus Nord 3 sports a 6.74-inch AMOLED display with an FHD+ resolution and a refresh rate that can reach up to 120Hz. The panel can hit a brightness of 1,450 nits and is HDR10+ compatible. It also comes equipped with robust Dragontrail glass protection. Following the Nord 3, the iQOO Neo 7 Pro offers a slightly larger 6.78-inch AMOLED display which is also FHD+ and can refresh at 120Hz. The phone has up to 1,300 nits of brightness and has HDR10+ certification. Finally you have the Poco F5 which features a 6.67-inch pOLED display with 1080p resolution, offering up to 120Hz refresh rate and 240Hz touch sampling. The panel can reach a maximum brightness that is lower than the other two at 1,000 nits but it does support HDR10+ and also Dolby Vision playback. Verdict: All three phones offer remarkable displays, but Nord 3 leads with brightness, Neo 7 Pro boasts a slightly larger screen, while Poco F5 excels with its Dolby Vision support. Design In terms of the design, OnePlus Nord 3 tips the scales at 194g while the iQOO Neo 7 Pro is about the same. The POCO F5, however, is about 13g lighter in weight and also a shade thinner. Apart from that both the iQOO Neo 7 Pro and POCO F5 have some kind of IP rating to protect it against accidental splashes. However, there is no such rating on the OnePlus Nord 3. As for the backpanel, while the OnePlus Nord 3 offers Gorilla Glass for a more premium look, the POCO F5 and Neo 7 Pro both have a plastic back. Verdict: All three smartphones have their unique strengths: Nord 3's premium Gorilla Glass back, Neo 7 Pro and Poco F5's splash resistance, and Poco F5's advantage of being lighter and slimmer. The choice ultimately depends on the users' individual design preferences. Performance The OnePlus Nord 3 is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset, a flagship SoC from a year ago, promising a blend of performance and power efficiency, both of which are optimal for rigorous tasks. The Poco F5, on the other hand, employs the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 2 chip, delivering adequate performance for daily usage and moderate gaming. The iQOO Neo 7 Pro is also equipped with a flagship offering from last year in the form of the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, making it an ideal choice for intensive applications and high-end gaming. Storage for all three smartphones can reach up to 256GB, but the OnePlus Nord 3 has the maximum amount of RAM on offer at 16GB. Verdict: The choice among these phones would depend on users' performance needs. For casual users or those on a budget, the Poco F5 could be a great choice, while power users and gamers might lean more towards the iQOO Neo 7 Pro or the OnePlus Nord 3. Cameras The OnePlus Nord 3 offers a triple-camera system which features the primary 50MP Sony IMX890 sensor with OIS, 8MP ultrawide shooter and a 2MP macro lens. It can record 4K videos at 60fps and has a 16MP front camera. The iQOO Neo 7 Pro's camera setup is quite similar, with a 50MP main sensor although instead of Sony it’s a Samsung ISOCELL GN5 instead. Both the 8MP ultrawide and 2MP macro lenses remain the same and it also features a 16MP front camera. Video recording capabilities are also the same at 4K 60fps. Meanwhile, the Poco F5 boasts a higher resolution 64MP Samsung ISOCELL sensor accompanied by the standard 8MP ultrawide and 2MP macro lenses, and a 16MP selfie shooter. It can also shoot a maximum of 4K resolution videos at 60fps. Verdict: While the OnePlus Nord 3 and iQOO Neo 7 Pro have comparable camera setups with different 50MP main sensors, the Poco F5 distinguishes itself with a higher-resolution 64MP primary camera. Battery and Charging All three smartphones, OnePlus Nord 3, iQOO Neo 7 Pro, and Poco F5, have robust 5,000mAh batteries. However, their fast-charging capabilities differ. The iQOO Neo 7 Pro leads with a massive 120W fast charging, followed by the Nord 3 with 80W, and the Poco F5 supporting up to 67W. This implies quicker recharge times, particularly for the iQOO Neo 7 Pro. Verdict The iQOO Neo 7 Pro is a clear winner here thanks to its superior charging speeds. Final verdict POCO F5 After a quick glance at the specs offered on three devices it is clear that each of them is a strong contenders in the mid-tier premium smartphone segment. The OnePlus Nord 3 leads in terms of display brightness and uses a premium Gorilla Glass back while offering solid performance with its MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset. The iQOO Neo 7 Pro, on the other hand, stands out with the fastest charging speed at 120W and has a better flagship SoC, making it an ideal choice for power users and gaming enthusiasts. The Poco F5, while being the most economical, doesn't compromise on quality, boasting a superior 64MP primary camera, Dolby Vision support for its display, and the added benefit of being lighter and slimmer. Ultimately, the choice will depend on individual user preferences and specific needs, but rest assured, all three options provide excellent value for the price.
