Display: Samsung Takes the Lead

Samsung clearly offers the best display among the three. The Galaxy M47 uses a 6.7-inch Full HD+ Super AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate, delivering deeper blacks, punchier colours, and better outdoor visibility than the LCD panels on its rivals. Gorilla Glass Victus+ protection is another bonus.

The iQOO Z11x comes second with a larger 6.76-inch Full HD+ LCD display, while the OnePlus N6 settles for a lower-resolution HD+ LCD panel. Although it supports a 120Hz refresh rate, its lower pixel density makes it less sharp than the other two.

Winner: Samsung Galaxy M47 5G

Performance: iQOO Offers the Most Power

Performance is where the iQOO Z11x pulls ahead. Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Turbo, it should comfortably outperform both the Dimensity 6360 Apex inside the N6 and Samsung’s Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 in CPU and GPU-intensive tasks.

The Galaxy M47 still delivers solid everyday performance thanks to the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3, while the N6 prioritises efficiency over raw speed.

Winner: iQOO Z11x

Cameras: iQOO Focuses on Selfies, Samsung Adds Versatility

All three phones feature 50MP primary cameras, but Samsung is the only one with a more versatile setup thanks to its 5MP ultra-wide and 2MP macro cameras.

The iQOO Z11x stands out with a 32MP selfie camera and 4K video recording on both the front and rear cameras, making it the best choice for content creators.

Meanwhile, the OnePlus N6 offers the most basic camera hardware, featuring an 8MP selfie camera and Full HD video recording.

Winner: Samsung for versatility, iQOO for selfies and video.

Battery: OnePlus Goes Big

Battery life is a major highlight for the OnePlus N6, which packs an enormous 8,000mAh battery-the largest in this comparison. Combined with a lower-resolution display, it should easily deliver multi-day battery life.

The iQOO Z11x follows with a sizeable 7,200mAh battery, while the Galaxy M47 offers a still-respectable 6,000mAh unit.

All three support approximately 45W fast charging.

Winner: OnePlus N6

Software and Features

All three smartphones run Android 16, but their software experiences differ.

Samsung’s One UI 8.5 is feature-rich and polished, while OxygenOS 16 offers a clean, near-stock Android experience. OriginOS 6 on the iQOO Z11x is loaded with customization features and gaming optimisations. Additionally, Samsung also offers the best overall support.

In terms of durability, the iQOO Z11x stands out with IP68/IP69 water and dust resistance. The N6 gets IP65 protection, while Samsung relies on an IP64 rating. While both the N6 and Z11x feature MIL-STD-810H certification for execellent durability, Gorilla Glass Victus+ on the front and back of the M47 5G makes it the most durable of the three phones.

Winner: Samsung Galaxy M47 5G

OnePlus N6 vs Galaxy M47 vs iQOO Z11x: Which Should You Buy?

The Samsung Galaxy M47 is the best option for users who value a premium AMOLED display, a versatile camera setup, and Samsung’s polished software experience.

The OnePlus N6 is ideal for users who prioritise battery life, offering an 8,000mAh battery that is unmatched in this segment.

However, the iQOO Z11x delivers the most balanced package overall. It combines the fastest chipset, a Full HD+ 120Hz display, a capable 50MP Sony camera, a 32MP selfie shooter, 4K video recording, IP68/IP69 durability, stereo speakers, and a large 7,200mAh battery-all while matching the N6’s starting price of Rs. 22,999.

For buyers seeking the best overall value under Rs. 25,000, the Galaxy M47 5G emerges as the strongest all-rounder.
