Oppo R17 Pro has a 6.4-inch full HD+ display with an aspect ratio of 19:9 and a screen-to-body ratio of 91.5 per cent. There’s a dewdrop style notch on top of the screen, which is one of the smallest on any smartphone and less intrusive. The display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 6.
Oppo R17 Pro gets a glass back design with what the company likes to call “3D fog glass” that reflects under different lighting conditions. It will be available in mist and green colour options. The gradient glass back design is not for everyone and it really depends on choice.
Samsung Galaxy A9 (2018) has a slightly smaller 6.3-inch Super AMOLED display and there’s no notch feature unlike on most smartphones these days. So users get an Infinity display without a notch. A physical fingerprint button is present on the top.
The Samsung phone also sports a glass back design with metal frames. The phone feels premium and can be bought in three gradient colour options including pink, blue, and black. Galaxy A9 (2018) is comfortable to hold and well made, as we observed in our review.
OnePlus 6T sports a 6.2-inch full HD+ AMOLED display with Gorilla Glass 6 coating. The screen aspect ratio is 19:9 and there’s a rectangular notch, wider than Oppo R17 Pro. This too has an in-display fingerprint sensor.
In terms of design, OnePlus 6T has a glass back, without the gradient effect. The phone feels premium and has a classy design.The phone is very easy on hand, though a back cover is recommended for extra protection.
Poco F1 is unlike other phones on the list as it gets a plastic polycarbonate body design, which does not feel as premium. Still, the Kevlar variant has a unique design. Poco F1 has the smallest 6.1-inch screen with full HD+ resolution. The phone also has a rectangular notch on top of the screen just like OnePlus 6T. The screen is good value for money.
Of course, the display on Samsung Galaxy A9 (2018) is ahead given it is a Super AMOLED screen. The design is more of a personal choice and people who want do not mind gradient colour options can go for the Galaxy A9 (2018) or Oppo R17 Pro.
OnePlus 6T has a more classy feel, while Poco F1 feels less premium due to a plastic back design.
