The OnePlus 3T with its Snapdragon 821 and Huawei Mate 9 Pro with the Kirin 960 are two of the most powerful Android phones out there. Both devices run Android Nougat and have 6GB of RAM. That’s why PhoneBuff put both devices to a speed test.
The test itself is opening a set of applications in the same order - launching, waiting to load, starting if there’s a button available and then moving on to the next one. After going through all basic apps like social media, games, streaming platforms and browser, time is logged as Lap 1. Then comes the second round - how fast do the opened apps start again when all of them are launched. In theory lap 2 should be easier for phones with more RAM as they can leave apps running in the background.
The OnePlus 3T starts off well with the preloaded apps like the Photo Gallery and the camera one. Then when the games come up, Mate 9 Pro just blasts past the 3T. Then when it is about reopening the apps, Huawei’s device actually stumbles at Fit the Fat mobile game - it isn’t able to keep it opened. That way 3T just cruises to the finish and regains the lead.
Of course, both devices are pretty fast so even if OnePlus 3T is a tiny bit faster, the Mate 9 Pro certainly won't leave you waiting for too long.
