Design and Build

Considering their affordability, all three phones feature plastic back panels and frames, although the Poco X6 Pro does come in a vegan leather option. Infinix drifts aways from the traditional smartphone design, opting for a gamer-centric back panel with customizable RGB lighting.

However, if you want something more subtle, then the OnePlus Nord CE 4 is the perfect fit, while the vegan leather finish on the Poco X6 Pro offers a touch of elegance. All three phones feature an IP54 rating for resistance to dust and splashes of water, while offering a flat display with rounded edges.

Display

The Poco X6 Pro has the most feature-packed display on our list. The screen here supports both HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, while offering a higher 1.5K resolution. It is also the brightest panel among the three.

And while the GT 20 Pro's screen does offer a 144Hz refresh rate, the difference between 120Hz and 144Hz is negligible. The Fluid AMOLED display on the OnePlus Nord CE 4 also supports HDR10+ and is better than the GT 20 Pro for entertainment, while the latter offers more milage for gaming.

Performance

Despite its gaming DNA, the Infinix GT 20 Pro is only the second-most powerful phone, behind the Poco X6 Pro 5G. The MediaTek Dimensity 8300 Ultra is undoubtedly the fastest chipset in the segment, making it the best for performance.

The Infinix GT 20 Pro comes in close second thanks to a VC cooling system. Moreover, it also features a Pixelworks X5 Turbo Gaming Display chip to push games to 120fps. The Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 SoC is the weakest of the lot, although the chip prioritizes overall utility over raw performance.

The Snapdragon chip on the Nord CE 4 5G offers the best power efficiency. While the Poco X6 Pro 5G does offer the best overall performance, we'd drift towards the Infinix GT 20 Pro for the best gaming experience because of the myriad of gaming-oriented features.

Cameras

For optics, both the OnePlus Nord CE 4 and Poco X6 Pro feature similar camera setups, while the Infinix GT 20 Pro only has a single usable rear camera. However, the Nord CE 4 5G is the standout performer here and leads in the pack in terms of overall camera performance.

The Infinix GT 20 Pro, on the other hand, offers a higher-res front camera, making it the best choice on paper. Additionally, the GT 20 Pro can also record 1440p video on the front camera as opposed to 1080p on the competition.

Software

All three phones run the latest Android 14 operating system, each with their own unique skins on top. Last year, Oxygen OS would be in the clear here. However, the Poco X6 Pro's HyperOS is a more refined version of MIUI, while the GT 20 Pro is running a clean, bloat-free version of XOS 14.

Making the software battle closer than you think. Since we haven't experienced all three phones, we're not going to crown a winner here. However, HyperOS is fast-becoming one of the best Android skins, while the tried and tested OxygenOS rarely disappoints.

Battery

In terms of battery life, the OnePlus Nord CE 4 5G takes the lead with a 10% larger cell than its competitors. Moreover, the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chip is also the most efficient of the bunch, ensuring Nord CE 4 5G offers the best battery endurance of the three.

While all three phones support fast charging, OnePlus takes it to a whole new level, more than doubling the charging speed of the GT 20 Pro, while offering 33% faster charging than the Poco X6 Pro. In terms of charging and battery life, the Nord CE 4 5G might just be the best phone in the segment.

Infinix GT 20 Pro vs OnePlus Nord CE 4 5G vs Poco X6 Pro: Conclusion

All three phones offer excellent value for money. If you are looking for the best gaming experience in the segment, we'd recommend going for the GT 20 Pro. However, the Poco X6 Pro does have the edge in raw performance, while also offering the best display for content consumption.

Lastly, the OnePlus Nord CE 4 5G opts for a more balanced approach, delivering an excellent phone for the average user, whose interests may lie in photography or simply having a phone that delivers a full day of use on a single charge.
