This year, OnePlus has sharpened its vision of a legitimate flagship phone that challenges the big brands, resulting in a sleek and smart device. It’s not just an inexpensive flagship, but a true flagship with its own identity, an alternative to Samsung and Google. In addition to the aluminum frame, the 10 Pro uses Gorilla Glass Victus on the front and Gorilla Glass 5 on the back panel.OnePlus has taken a page from Samsung’s book and blended the metal camera bump housing into the phone’s side rails for a nice look It is. It may be ripping off someone else’s work, but it is at least one of the smartest kids in its class.
OnePlus is doing it again, with the carrier version of the phone – sold only through T-Mobile in the U.S. – having an IP68 rating, but not the unlocked version OnePlus says the build quality between the unlocked phone and the phone on T-Mobile’s shelves says there is no difference between the unlocked version and the phone on T-Mobile’s shelves. Use this information however you want.
The physical size difference between the 10 Pro and other large flagship Android phones is small, a few millimeters on either side, depending on the device being compared. But it feels a bit sleeker and easier to handle, partly because of the height of the screen; it’s easier to handle than the Pixel 6 Pro, and the more you use it, the less useless and heavy it feels; the 10 Pro’s in-display optical fingerprint sensor is also faster and more responsive, an advantage over the Pixel’s slower fingerprint scanner The 10 Pro’s in-display optical fingerprint sensor is also fast and responsive, an advantage over Pixel’s slow fingerprint scanner. This is a fun phone to carry and use, even for fans of such a small phone.
Battery life during the review period was very good. As mentioned earlier, I tested this phone mostly with the display resolution set to Auto and the refresh rate left at the default 120 Hz. With mixed usage, which included a lot of video watching and about 6 hours of screen-on time, and an active SIM in the phone, the 10 Pro 5G’s battery level only dropped to 25% at the end of the day. Forcing the display resolution to QHD+ or playing games more intensely might reduce the runtime, but most users should be satisfied with this battery life. The phone ran for almost 19 hours in our HD video loop test.
The camera was our biggest concern this year, and OnePlus certainly pulled it off. In short, the OnePlus 10 Pro is the best camera phone the company has ever produced, with a 48MP main camera that takes photos nearly on par with the Galaxy S22 Ultra, Pixel 6 Pro, and iPhone 13 Pro Max. 50MP ultra-wide camera can provide a 150-degree field of view or a 100-degree field of view with very little edge distortion.
If we have one complaint against the OnePlus 10 Pro, it would be that the telephoto sensor is 8MP compared to the Galaxy S22 Ultra’s dual 10MP shooters. iPhone 13 Pro Max and Pixel 6 Pro telephoto lenses are 12MP and 48MP respectively The number of megapixels is not everything. While megapixel count isn’t everything, we can see that OnePlus is at a disadvantage. Around the front, on
