Between the iPhone 16 Pro and ThinkPhone, the iPhone 16 Pro comes out ahead in wireless charging and antutu, while the ThinkPhone wins on front camera and wired charging. Overall, the iPhone 16 Pro scores 60.6 and the ThinkPhone scores 64.6 on our Mars Score.
Which should you buy?
The ThinkPhone edges ahead on the Mars Score (60.6 vs 64.6), but the 4.0-point gap is small enough that the right pick comes down to which spec advantages matter to you.
Pick the iPhone 16 Pro if the display is what you stare at all day — refresh rate, brightness, or sharpness is where the difference will be most visible. The biggest gaps in its favor are wireless charging, antutu, pixel density, among others.
Pick the ThinkPhone if your top frustration with your current device is running out of charge before the day ends — endurance is the lead spec here. Its strongest claims are front camera, wired charging, battery capacity, among others.
Both ship with comparable ram, 5g support, water resistance, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.
Bottom line: there is no wrong answer here — match the spec advantages to how you actually use the product. The Mars Score parity tells you both are well-rounded; the differences are about trade-offs, not quality.
