It has grilled loudspeakers on both sides.

OnePlus has an aluminum frame as compared to XS Max’s stainless steel frame. Former uses fingerprint input while the latter utilizes facial recognition for the unlocking.  Max XS is thinner, but handling is not easy. With a flat back, it is uncomfortable to hold and operate single-handed. Once you add the cover, the process becomes extra tedious. However, none of the smartphones come with a 3.5 mm jack.

Moreover, you can wash your phone under running water, let it dry and use it as usual.
