OPPO Reno 16F vs Samsung Galaxy XCover 7 Pro

Our Verdict: There's more battery in the OPPO Reno 16F, 7000mAh to 4350mAh, which usually means longer between charges, and storage goes higher on the Reno 16F, up to 512GB against 128GB. The Reno 16F uses an OLED panel, which gives it richer contrast than the Samsung Galaxy XCover 7 Pro's LCD, and the Reno 16F is the lighter phone at 195g against 240g. The Reno 16F doesn't just win on price; it holds its own on specs too, which makes it the easy pick unless something specific draws you to the Galaxy XCover 7 Pro.

If you'd rather pay up front, the Reno 16F is the cheaper buy at £477 SIM-free.
