The OnePlus 10T is a budget-friendly smartphone that borrows heavily from the OnePlus 10 Pro. It has a Snapdragon 845 chipset, 4GB of RAM, and a fast charging port. The camera is still not as good as the OnePlus 10 Pro, but it’s better than most budget smartphones.
OnePlus 10T review: Design
The OnePlus 10T is visually similar to the OnePlus 10 Pro, with the camera sensors located on the rear side. The matte appearance of the phone enhances its aesthetic appeal. The front side of the OnePlus 10T stands out from that of the OnePlus 10 Pro, as its corners are flatter and rounder. ..
The phone is easy to use and has a sleek design. We were impressed by the business’s decision to remove the Alert slider, which left us feeling as though the brand had lost its trademark. The power button is located on the right side, and the volume rockers are situated on the left side.
The Galaxy S10 has a new type-C connector, a speaker outlet, and a SIM tray on the bottom side. It also has a secondary microphone for active noise suppression and an IR blaster on the upper side. The front of the phone has a large display with a selfie sensor in the center and an integrated fingerprint sensor that reacts very quickly to touch. Gorilla Glass 5 safeguards the phone’s body from harm in the event of a fall. ..
OnePlus 10T review: Display
The OnePlus 10T has a 6.7-inch AMOLED screen with a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz. The display has native 10-bit color support and HDR10+ certification.
The T model’s AMOLED screen is as brilliant as OnePlus’ flagship smartphone in terms of brightness. The maximum brightness we measured for the APL18 was 873 cd/m2, which is equally as excellent as 861 cd/m2 on a completely white background. A Xiaomi 12 or Galaxy S22, however, gleam even more brilliantly than the OnePlus 10T.
OnePlus 10T’s HDR performance is lackluster, with a brightness level of less than 1000 cd/m2. The phone uses pulse width modulation (PWM) at a high frequency of 361 Hz to manage brightness, which reduces the amplitude of fluctuations at low brightness levels. ..
Software
The OnePlus 10T is a phone that ships with OxygenOS, which is a derivative of Android. This phone has all the essential features of the Google-built operating system, including access to the Play Store and a tone of customization choices. Over standard Android, OxygenOS offers a few unique features, such as a Zen Mode that blocks off distractions for a certain period of time.
We found that the swipe-down dashboard on the Galaxy S8 was superfluous and not very helpful. There are many shortcuts provided by this, but many of them can be accessed more easily through other methods (for example, there is no need to swipe down and tap the camera icon to open the Camera app when simply tapping the Camera app from your home screen will accomplish the same thing).
The OnePlus Dashboard was a useful tool for taking notes. With certain aesthetic and functional changes, OnePlus has claimed that OxygenOS 13, which is based on the as-of-yet-unreleased Android 13, will be available at the end of 2022. The 10 Pro will receive it first, followed quickly by the 10T.
Hardware and performance
The OnePlus 10T is a powerful phone that has the latest Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC. It is equipped with an Adreno 730 GPU and frame stabilizer to improve gaming experience.
The OnePlus 10T is a powerful phone that offers great performance. It has a High-Performance mode that allows the CPU to work at its best without regard for battery life or higher temperature thresholds. Off-screen graphics tests reveal the OnePlus 10T to be a top performer, enhancing the 10 Pro’s already respectable performance by one frame per second. ..
The OnePlus 10T is a powerful phone with a lot of features. It has 256GB of flash storage and 12GB of RAM, which makes it a top performer. The phone can also be purchased with 8GB/128GB or, for the first time, with 16GB RAM. This makes the phone a top performer across the board. Even though the test scores for the OnePlus 10T are a little unpredictable, we still enjoyed playing games on the phone like Grid: Autosport (at maximum graphics) and Apex Legends Mobile. In Grid: Autosport, we were able to turn the game’s visuals and frame rate up to ExtremeHD levels without experiencing any stuttering or excessively high temperatures on the phone. ..
OnePlus 10T review: Camera
The 16 MP front-facing camera on the OnePlus Nord 2 5G takes decent selfies with good exposure levels and vibrant color reproduction. The bokeh effects are perfect when used in portrait mode. The main camera of the OnePlus Nord 2 5G employs the IMX766 sensor instead of Sony’s IMX789 as with the OnePlus 10T, unlike the 10 Pro. The 50 MP lens, stabilized with OIS, dazzles in bright light with good image quality and vibrant colors. ..
The OnePlus 10T’s lens has a 199-degree field of view, some artefacts, few fine details, and noticeable blurriness in the edges. Additionally, the 8 MP resolution is really low.
The camera has a reduced video quality, with no option to record in 8K or with the front or ultra-wide-angle camera. The Sony IMX766 lens’ stabilization performs admirably at 4K30, but the recording quality is average only at 1080p. ..
Battery life
The OnePlus 10T supports fast charging, which is great for those who want to be able to use their phone while it’s still full.
The Galaxy S8 has a 4,800mAh battery, but it can only hold a charge for a short time. ..
Price and availability
On August 25, OnePlus will start selling the OnePlus 10T. Pre-orders begin on September 1 and general distribution begins on September 29 in the U.S. So there will be a little bit of a wait. The 8GB RAM and 128GB storage model costs $649/£629 as of this writing, while the 16GB RAM and 256GB storage model costs $749/£729. OnePlus presently charges $799 for the OnePlus 10 Pro, or £799 in the UK. ..
Conclusion
The OnePlus 10T is a great phone. It has a brilliant display, is incredibly responsive, long-lasting, and fast-charging. It’s also inexpensive, has a nice appearance, and lacks some features found on more expensive phones, but its cameras are not as good as those on the Google Pixel 6 or the Samsung Galaxy S22. However, it does have an IP rating which makes it stand out from other phones in this price range. Overall, the OnePlus 10T is a fantastic mid-range phone that should be considered if you’re looking for a phone in this price range. ..
