The same 256GB base storage, 6.3-inch screen, 120Hz and IP68 as the iPhone 18 Pro, 44 g lighter at 167 g, and $299 less. You give up front-camera resolution: 12MP against 18MP.
Four hundred dollars less and it still matches the iPhone on screen size, refresh rate, main camera and IP68, while being the lightest phone here. The trade is real though: half the base storage, and a 10.5MP front camera against the iPhone 18 Pro's 18MP.
The closest match on paper, and it beats the iPhone on both cameras: 50MP against 48MP at the back, and 42MP against 18MP at the front. Same screen, same refresh rate, same IP68, four grams lighter, two hundred dollars less. You give up half the base storage.
Not cheaper - it lists at $1,299.99, $101 more - but it is the one rival that matches the iPhone's 256GB base storage while adding a 6.9-inch screen against 6.3 and a 200MP main camera against 48MP. Same 120Hz and IP68; the front camera is 12MP against 18MP, and it is 3 g heavier.
Flagship phones have converged: the same 6.3-inch OLED, the same 120Hz, the same IP68. What still separates them is how much storage you get for the base price, what the front camera can do, and how much of the price is the name on the back.
The overall ranking on the iPhone 18 Pro alternatives page weighs every published spec. This page answers one question only, so a model can rank first here and lower overall. The DupeScore beside each model is the overall figure.
