Here’s what you get with the OnePlus 10 Pro, the company’s latest flagship.
The OnePlus 10 Pro will soon arrive in the United States and the United Kingdom. After a few months of envying Chinese customers who got their hands on the phone early, OnePlus’ new flagship should be available in the rest of the world in around a month.
There’s a lot to be excited about with this phone, including a new Hasselblad camera system, a faster 120Hz display, and fast 80W charging. Despite this, Samsung’s Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22 Ultra, as well as Google’s more well-known Pixel 6 Pro, will be tough competition.

It’s not out of the question for OnePlus to repeat the success of the OnePlus 9 Pro, which wowed us much when it was released in 2018. For now, however, here’s the lowdown on the OnePlus 10 Pro, in case you’re interested in learning more before we do.
Date and cost of the OnePlus 10 Pro
There is presently a OnePlus 10 Pro on sale in China only. OnePlus fans outside of China may look forward to a worldwide launch, including the United States and the United Kingdom, by the end of March.
The OnePlus 10 Pro begins at 4699 yuan, which is marginally less expensive than the OnePlus 9 Pro’s starting price last year. In comparison to the OnePlus 9 Pro’s 5999 yuan price tag, the OnePlus 10 Pro costs 5299 yuan for the 12GB RAM/256GB storage model.
There is a good chance that the OnePlus 10 Pro will cost less than the OnePlus 9 Pro’s $969 price in the United States, but translating currencies to figure out local phone pricing may be difficult because of differing tax rates and other factors to take into account.
We’ve put up a detailed comparison of the OnePlus 10 Pro vs. OnePlus 9 Pro to see how the two devices stack up against each other. Check out our OnePlus 10 Pro vs. Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra comparison to see how it stacks up against Samsung’s forthcoming flagship.
Conceptualization and styling of the OnePlus 10 Pro
Looks-wise, we know what to expect from the OnePlus 10 Pro, which has been dubbed the “refined series 9.”
The OnePlus 10 Pro may seem similar to the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro, but the camera array is much different. Despite its size, it’s tucked away in a prominent hump. A similar contour cut design was popularised by Samsung with the Galaxy S21 series, which has a hump on its side.
Another thing we discovered from the OnePlus 10 Pro design unveiling is that OnePlus and Hasselblad have a long-standing cooperation. If this is true, it’s wonderful news for OnePlus, since the Swedish lens expert helped the company significantly enhance the cameras on the 9 series. The OnePlus 10 Pro is expected to provide comparable improvements.
The OnePlus 10 Pro will be available in two colour options: Volcanic Black and Emerald Forest, according to OnePlus (green).
There are a few things we’ve learnt about this design since the Chinese handsets have found their way to certain content producers, including the fact that it is fragile. You should be careful not to sit or lean on this phone if you purchase it.
An upgraded version of the OnePlus 10 Pro’s display
The OnePlus 10 Pro will have a 6.7-inch QHD display. The size has not altered, but other aspects of the vehicle have.
LTPO 2.0 technology and a 120Hz refresh rate will be used in the phone’s display for the first time. When it comes to overall display performance, LTPO 2.0 will surpass the OnePlus 9 Pro’s first-generation LTPO panel’s ability to dynamically scale from 120Hz to 1Hz when a fast refresh rate isn’t required.
There was no mention of how this may function in practise, although Lau said that LTPO 2.0 will allow for a “new degree of smoothness.” Players of fast-paced mobile games, or those who want to use the Nvidia GeForce Now RTX 3080 cloud-based game streaming, might benefit from this.
Pro version of OnePlus 10’s cameras
OnePlus and Hasselblad have teamed together for the cameras on the OnePlus 10 Pro for the second time.
With a 48MP primary camera, a 50MP ultrawide camera, and an 8MP telephoto lens with 3.3x optical zoom, the new phone is packed with goodies. The OnePlus 9 Pro has a similar configuration, save for the removal of a specialised monochrome lens. However, a 150-degree field of vision option has been introduced to the ultrawide lens, making it far broader than the field of view on other smartphones.
For more realistic and exact tones, the camera capabilities include the ability to shoot in 10-bit colour from any rear lens. You can now shoot 12-bit RAW with the revised Hasselblad Pro mode, and a new RAW Plus format adds more detail and post-processing to the mix. Movie Mode for video sounds a lot like Apple’s Cinematic mode for the iPhone 13 range, while Master Style (seen below) looks like Apple’s Photography Styles function.
The OnePlus 9 Pro’s 16MP front camera has been replaced with a 32MP sensor in the OnePlus 10 Pro.
In order to be included in our list of the best camera phones, OnePlus will have to put in a lot of effort in the areas of image signal processing and computational photography.
Specifications of the OnePlus 10 Pro
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 CPU powers the OnePlus 10 Pro. 20 percent higher performance and 30 percent more power efficiency over the OnePlus 9’s Snapdragon 888 processor are promised by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. Improvements in gaming and artificial intelligence are also predicted to be made in the near future.
8GB and 12GB variants of RAM are available. 128GB and 256GB storage choices are available. In China, OnePlus is offering the 8GB/128GB, 8GB/256GB, and 12GB/256GB variants of the phone. However, we anticipate just the 8GB/128GB and 12GB/256GB models to be marketed worldwide, as has been the case in the past.
The 80W battery charger for the OnePlus 10 Pro
The OnePlus 10 Pro’s battery capacity and charging capability have both been increased by the company. In addition to the improved display, the battery capacity has been increased from 4,500 to 5,000 mAh, which should improve the battery life of the new OnePlus, which has a disappointingly short lifespan.
This means that OnePlus’s 65W charging has been increased to 80W. For the remainder of the year, the OnePlus 10 Pro is likely to be the quickest charging smartphone on the market. OnePlus is also providing a charger in the package, so you can take advantage of the fast charging speed right out of the box.
Pro version software for the OnePlus 10.
OxygenOS 12.1 will be pre-installed on the OnePlus 10 Pro, which will run on Android 12 when it is released. However, it’s fascinating to note how that got about.
For many, the OnePlus 10 Pro was expected to mark a major shift in the company’s products by becoming the first to use a new unified operating system built by Oppo in 2021. We’re not expecting to see such a significant shift as a result of the backlash from OnePlus consumers, it appears. OnePlus founder Pete Lau said that both operating systems would be developed independently, although from the same code base.
As a group of OnePlus enthusiasts, we’re thrilled that the company has decided to reverse course on this. If you were to swap out OxygenOS for ColorOS or a combination of the two, it wouldn’t be nearly as wonderful.
models other than OnePlus 10 Pro
To brand your phone “Pro” without releasing a basic model seems odd to us, even if it is the only variant that OnePlus has confirmed thus far. That’s why we’re wondering whether the OnePlus 10 will have a lower-cost version, and we hope it does, so that more people can participate in the OnePlus flagship game.
A fresh leaked photograph of the rear of an unnamed OnePlus phone may also provide confirmation of this. However, the best indicator we’ve seen so far points to this being the company’s next phone.
It is possible that OnePlus is working on an Ultra version of the 10th generation OnePlus smartphone. Oppo’s MariSilicon image processing technology is said to be included in this improved OnePlus 10, according to one source, while another believes the phone might employ an ultra-zoom periscope camera. See how this phone may seem in fresh unauthorised renderings of the smartphone that have been published below.
Only four years have passed since OnePlus began making Pro models before releasing the first Ultra phone. While we wouldn’t be surprised if OnePlus made a phone to compete with the likes of the Galaxy S22 Ultra and the iPhone 13 Pro Max, we wouldn’t be surprised if they did.
There is an optimistic prognosis for the OnePlus 10 Pro.
The OnePlus 10 Pro seems to be one of the year’s greatest smartphones on paper. It’s not until the phone leaves China for its worldwide premiere in a few months’ time that we can verify or deny that.
Once again, the OnePlus 10 Pro is expected to be a standout for its display and rapid charging capabilities. The OnePlus 10 Pro’s cameras will be the most important part of our evaluation, since they will go up against the iPhone 13 Pro and the Google Pixel 6 Pro. Because of Hasselblad’s cooperation, the OnePlus 9 Pro signified a significant improvement in photography quality for the firm. For our best camera phones ranking, the competition is fierce. Source
