The OnePlus 10 Pro is a phone that is both more expensive and better-looking than the OnePlus 9 Pro. It has an improved camera, a better display, and more features. It is also more durable, thanks to its metal frame and Gorilla Glass 5 protection.
OnePlus has made some strides in the past year, but it still lags behind Google and Samsung when it comes to features and camera quality. Additionally, OnePlus does not offer software security updates for as long as its competitors do.
OnePlus 10 Pro review: Design
The OnePlus 10 Pro is a powerful phone that outperforms the OnePlus 9 Pro. The soft touch material on the back makes it resistant to fingerprints, and the phone can now resist being scratched.
OnePlus has just announced a new camera module that looks strikingly similar to the Samsung Galaxy S22. The module is made from ceramic, which gives it a sturdy and attractive appearance. ..
The OnePlus alert slider is a helpful feature that is still present on OnePlus phones. It’s quite helpful for making the OnePlus 10 Pro vibrate or completely silent. We adore it, and we adore that OnePlus has maintained it; it demonstrates that some of the business’s previous design aesthetic has persisted.
The OnePlus 10 Pro is really pleasant to hold overall. It feels remarkably light in our hands for only weighing 7 ounces. With a 3 inch width, we can access much of the screen without having to extend our thumb too far. The Galaxy S22 Ultra is heavier and narrower than the OnePlus 10 Pro. Thus, OnePlus created an extremely ergonomic phone that is nonetheless very huge. The Galaxy S22 Ultra has a taller display than the OnePlus 10 Pro, but it also has a smaller battery capacity at 3,000mAh as opposed to the 4,000mAh battery on the OnePlus 10 Pro. ..
Display
The OnePlus 10 Pro’s large size is probably due to its large screen, as the device’s 6.7-inch AMOLED display is roomy. In addition to “big,” we can also describe the screen as “bright” and “beautiful,” and that’s just sticking with the letter “b.” The video looks good whether you see it outside or in a dark setting akin to a movie theatre because of the resolution, which is 3216 x 1440, or 2K, and the high maximum brightness of 1,300 nits.
OnePlus’ new phone, the OnePlus 9 Pro, has a new technology called LTPO 2.0 that allows it to switch between frequencies more quickly than before. This is supposed to save battery life, and the phone also supports HDR10+ and a billion colors. Some people may find this useful, while others may not care. ..
OnePlus 10 Pro review: Software
OnePlus has not merged with Oppo’s ColorOS, as some have been led to believe. The company has instead announced that it will release a new OxygenOS update for the OnePlus 2 that will merge with Oppo’s ColorOS. This is in light of the increasing popularity of Android skinning and the desire for a more fluid and simple user interface on devices.
After receiving criticism from the community, OnePlus changed its mind and decided to merge the code bases for ColorOS and OxygenOS. This resulted in a new unified codebase that still has its own identities on devices from different brands, while still benefiting from an easier update plan. OxygenOS 12.1 is tidy and distinct while running on the 10 Pro (on top of Android 12). ..
The OnePlus One has a lot of control over the user interface. You can choose between OnePlus Sans, Android’s default Roboto typeface, and other fonts. This makes the user interface look different and makes it feel different.
Hardware and performance
The OnePlus Shelf was moved from the “left side” of the home screen to a drag-down position from the upper right corner, which is essentially the same spot as the control Centre on the iPhone. We deactivated the feature because we never intentionally turned it on. You’re in for a letdown if you were looking for the extensive modifications present in the majority of Android 12 builds, particularly the Pixel 6 series. The OnePlus version of Android 12 does allow for some customization, but not as much as standard Android 12.
We didn’t have any issues with the phone’s performance during our typical day-to-day activities. The only exception was when we played the game, which was generally smooth. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor and 8GB of RAM allowed us to perform all of our regular tasks flawlessly.
The OnePlus 10 Pro has an awful Android Auto. This isn’t even a brand-new problem; the 9 series also had issues. But the fact that this hasn’t been resolved yet is disappointing. Our phones are set to charge only by default when we connect them into our cars. Although we changed the default to data transmission using developer options, it isn’t always effective. Usually, Android Auto starts up properly if we connect the phone in before starting our car. If it doesn’t work, switching the cable on and off frequently does.
OnePlus 10 Pro: A phone that can’t be connected to your car We’ve had a OnePlus 10 Pro for a few weeks now and we’re still having trouble connecting it to our car. It’s frustrating because we don’t have the same problem on any other phone, and every time we want to use Android Auto, we have to perform a song and dance. Though we do. It’s a major oversight that discourages us from using the phone.
OnePlus 10 Pro review: Camera
The back of this phone contains three camera sensors: a 50-megapixel ultrawide sensor with a 150-degree field of view, an 8-megapixel telephoto lens with 3.3x optical zoom, and the primary sensor, which has a resolution of 48 megapixels. The logo on the camera module and the recognizable orange shutter button are further indications that OnePlus has partnered with Hasselblad to provide 10-bit color capture on all three sensors. This partnership enables all three sensors to capture photos in true 10-bit color, which is not possible on other phones. ..
The three sensors on the back of this camera offer a great degree of adaptability, allowing you to snap a variety of photographs depending on the situation. However, we weren’t blown away by the image quality captured by this device. First of all, despite the variety of lenses being a plus, the three don’t have a particularly similar colour scheme. The camera is able to record in 4K at 120 frames per second, producing high-quality videos (or even 8K, but at 24fps).
Our testing revealed that the OnePlus 10 Pro’s camera’s lofty claims of adaptability, despite its great stabilization, fell short of the finest camera phones in terms of quality.
Battery life
The OnePlus 10 Pro’s battery life was impressive. We were able to play games and watch videos for hours without needing to charge. The phone will last a long time when used casually for online browsing and social networking. We tested it by continuously reloading web pages over a cellular connection while the display brightness was set to 150 nits. ..
Our OnePlus 10 Pro battery rundown test results show that it easily beats the Galaxy S22 Ultra in terms of battery life. This phone has a 5,000mAh battery and a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 CPU, so it should be able to last for at least 10 hours. It almost matches the amazing outcome of the iPhone 13 Pro in its 120Hz setting.
OnePlus 10 Pro review: Price and availability
Conclusion
The OnePlus 10 Pro is a great phone that offers many features that you would expect from a flagship phone at a more affordable price. ..
The OnePlus 10 Pro is a great phone with a lot of features. However, it has one major downside- it doesn’t have an IP classification for water and dust resistance. This means that it would be difficult to take the phone anywhere without fear of it getting wet or damaged.
