It offers two main advantages: the presence of a curved screen at the sides, and the presence of an aluminum frame, as well as a rear glass protected by Gorilla Glass Victus. The OnePlus 10T comes with a glass back as well, but it is protected by Gorilla Glass 5 and the frame is made of plastic. Further, the phone is thicker, even though it has a smaller battery.
