Smart Android And Trik-Commenting on Andorid indeed never endless, because smart devices this one is often updated every certain amount of time. So that the market can always be garapnya menerinya with pleasure. And it is not denied if this device has become the lifestyle of each society. To not wonder if the 6th business information and many are turning to mobail smartphone. With Android which thoroughly dominated the mobile industry, choosing the best Android smartphone is almost identical to choose the best smartphone, period. But while Android phones have few real opponents on other platforms, internal competition is intense.
Introduction
The OnePlus 10T is the company's latest premium smartphone. While not quite the new flagship, the 10T packs in many of the features and specifications one might expect from a modern Android smartphone along with enough sacrifices to keep the price in check.
The OnePlus T-series started off as a riff on the iPhone S series all the way back in 2016 with the OnePlus 3T and has been a mainstay of the company lineup ever since.
This year's 10T isn't necessarily an update over anything as there was no OnePlus 10 to build upon. But that may as well be for the best as OnePlus' non-Pro models have always been overshadowed by the Pro version and launching it a few months later with the T badge should help it stand out a bit more.
And that's pretty much what the OnePlus 10T is. It's the phone we would have most likely gotten back in March alongside the more expensive OnePlus 10 Pro had OnePlus followed its usual launch strategy, but are instead getting in August with an updated processor and a few extra bells and whistles.
OnePlus 10T specs at a glance:
- Body: 163.0x75.4x8.8mm, 204g; Glass front (Gorilla Glass 5), glass back (Gorilla Glass 5), plastic frame.
- Display: 6.70" LTPO2 Fluid AMOLED, 1B colors, 120Hz, HDR10+, 1080x2412px resolution, 20.1:9 aspect ratio, 394ppi.
- Chipset: Qualcomm SM8475 Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 (4 nm): Octa-core (1x3.19 GHz Cortex-X2 & 3x2.75 GHz Cortex-A710 & 4x1.80 GHz Cortex-A510); Adreno 730.
- Memory: 128GB 8GB RAM, 256GB 8GB RAM, 256GB 12GB RAM; UFS 3.1.
- OS/Software: Android 12, OxygenOS 12.1.
- Rear camera: Wide (main): 50 MP, f/1.8, 24mm, 1/1.56", 1.0µm, PDAF, OIS; Ultra wide angle: 16 MP, f/2.2; Depth: 2 MP, f/2.4.
- Front camera: 32 MP, f/2.5, (wide).

- Misc: Fingerprint reader (under display, optical); NFC; stereo speakers.
What are these bells and whistles, we hear you ask. For one, the OnePlus 10T comes with the same incredible 150W charging solution that we saw on the OnePlus 10R, except now it is more sophisticated, efficient, and safer. There's also a new cooling system, said to be the best on any OnePlus phone to date, along with a new antenna system. And then, of course, is the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 making its debut on a OnePlus phone along with 16GB of RAM.
All in all, it seems like the OnePlus 10T has the company's typical focus on speed and performance. But let's see how the rest of the phone stacks up.
OnePlus 10T unboxing
The OnePlus 10T comes with a fairly standard OnePlus packaging. The boxes have gotten smaller over the years but retain all of the same items you'd have gotten before, including a charger, which is becoming increasingly rare these days.
The charger, in case, is an Oppo 160W SuperVOOC. It's a rather sizable piece of equipment and also weighs a fair bit. It uses a USB-C connection and also supports 45W USB-PD charging.
While the charger is common to all regions, the 150W charging will only be supported in regions with 220V power sockets, while regions like the US with 110V outlets will cause the charger to limit itself to 125W.
In certain markets like India, you can also expect to get a clear silicone case inside the box.
Design
The OnePlus 10T design is a slightly dialed back version of the OnePlus 10 Pro.
The backs of the two phones look identical until you come closer and start noticing the differences. The camera island is not a separate piece of ceramic but rather part of the rest of the Gorilla Glass 5, just cleverly painted to make it look separate. It also doesn't blend with the side frame the way it does on the 10 Pro.
The camera cluster has the familiar four rings although the flash has been relocated to the top right. The rings are also not symmetrical; the two on the right are clearly larger, which looks a bit odd.
The glass back on the OnePlus 10T has some interesting things going on. The Moonstone Black variant has a rough, stone-like texture to it that OnePlus says is inspired by the texture of basalt. It's quite unlike anything we have seen being done with glass before and is very unique. As a bonus, it also does not show any fingerprints or smudges.
The other color is Jade Green, which has a smooth, ceramic-like finish thanks to a special film. While the color itself is fascinating, the finish is unremarkable, especially next to the Moonstone Black. And a downside of that smooth glass is that it also gets covered by fingerprints easily, although we found it took just one wipe to clean off.
The frame of the OnePlus 10T is made out of plastic. It features a glossy finish and color matched to the back of the phone.
On the left side of the phone is the volume rocker and on the right is the power button. There is no alert slider that we usually see on OnePlus phones. OnePlus' reason is that they needed the space inside for things like high wattage charging, a large capacity battery, and better antenna signal.
OnePlus did however confirm to us that this does not mean that the alert slider is gone for good and it will return on future OnePlus devices. Not that it matters to potential OnePlus 10T buyers.
The top of the phone has been flattened off and features an outlet for the loudspeaker and a microphone. The bottom is similarly flattened and features the other loudspeaker along with a microphone and the SIM tray.
The front of the phone features a flat Gorilla Glass 5 panel with an edge-to-edge display. The display's bezels are thin all-around, and nearly uniform. The front camera is placed inside a single punch hole in the middle. The earpiece and other sensors are hidden in the top bezel.
The OnePlus 10T is on the larger side. It's a bit larger than even the OnePlus 10 Pro and despite having a plastic frame and a smaller battery is also a bit heavier.
Unfortunately, OnePlus has once again cut corners and decided to skip an IP rating. We see basic signs of ingress protection, such as the rubber gasket around the SIM tray, but without a proper rating we have no confidence in the survivability of this device in wet or dusty environments.
Overall, the OnePlus 10T wins a few points with the use of the unique glass texture on the black variant and a flat display but then drops the ball with a plastic frame, lack of IP rating, and the missing alert slider.
Display
The OnePlus 10T has a 6.7-inch, 120Hz, 2412x1080 resolution AMOLED display. It is flat unlike those found on the company's flagship models, while still supporting 10-bit color depth. The coverage of the sRGB and Display P3 color spaces hasn't been specified but support for HDR has been confirmed.
We have not had time to run our complete suite of color checker, contrast, and brightness tests. However, in subjective tests, the OnePlus 10T display performed very well, with excellent color saturation, good brightness outdoors, and great viewing angles. We have no doubt the phone would excel our tests in our full review.
The display supports adaptive 120Hz refresh rate with optional 60Hz mode. When set to 120Hz, the display can drop down to 90Hz or 60Hz based on the content. Some apps will also lock the display to 60Hz, including video apps like YouTube and others like the Gallery.
OnePlus' logic here is, as usual, inconsistent as Netflix seems to work at 120Hz despite being a video app. Also, for some reason, all browsers are locked to 90Hz no matter what you do. The phone will also drop down its refresh rate to 60Hz when the keyboard is on screen. Then there's the issue with games, where most titles are still limited to 60Hz.
Display settings
The phone supports HDR10, HDR10+, and HLG content. The built-in color management, Display P3 coverage, and 10-bit color depth ensure HDR content mostly looks like it should. There was also no sign of any dynamic tone mapping like we saw on the OnePlus 10R.
HDR content looks reasonably impactful, although that does depend on the mastering of the content. We see many complaints about HDR appearing too dark but that's only because cinematic HDR content is mastered for viewing in the dark on a large screen. If you want something with a bit more pop try watching one of the many demo clips on YouTube.
The display has a hole punch camera. By now we have mostly gotten used to these but it's easier to ignore when they are off to one side. The OnePlus 10T camera is right in the middle and also on the larger side so it ended up being more noticeable and distracting than usual.
The display also has a built-in fingerprint sensor. OnePlus optical fingerprint sensors have come a long way and the one on the OnePlus 10T is very fast and accurate. The sensor is located a bit low on the phone, however, which is fine if you hold the phone from the bottom but is hard to reach if you hold it from the middle.
Battery and Charging
The OnePlus 10T has a dual cell 4,800mAh battery, which supports 150W fast charging.
To make sure the phone supports that kind of power without blowing up, OnePlus has designed a raft of safety features. The dual charge pump splits the 150W power into two 75W streams to charge faster and more efficiently. The VFC trickle charging optimization improves charging efficiency of the last 10% and reduces the time the battery spends at 100% to improve longevity. A customized smart charging chip can recognize input current and voltage and delivers an adaptable combination to the battery.
A new Battery Health Engine features a Smart Battery Health Algorithm that can track and control the maximum charging current and ensure it stays within a safe range to reduce the probability of dead cells. The Battery Healing Technology allows electrodes to be continuously repaired during charging cycles.
The dual-cell battery has a 7C rating and boasts a new multi-pole lug parallel structure process that reduces internal resistance of the cell and minimizes heat generation. There are also a total of 13 temperature sensors inside the battery system to monitor the charging temperature at all times.
OnePlus says the battery will retain 80% of its original capacity after 1600 charge cycles, which it says is equivalent to four years of usage. That number is a bit conservative even as that would even more than one full cycle each and every day.
All of that is good to know but how fast does the phone charge? OnePlus claims the phone can charge 1-67% in 10 minutes, which was right on the money as that is exactly how long it took during our testing. OnePlus claims 1-100% takes 19 minutes and in our testing it actually took around 18 minutes. However, the screen flashing 100% is not the same as the battery being fully charged and the full charge takes another 4-5 minutes.
Even counting the extra time, the charging speeds on the OnePlus 10T are absolutely phenomenal and possibly the best feature of the phone.
Unfortunately, we did not have time to do our full battery life testing for this hands-on but it will be covered in our full review.
Software
The OnePlus 10T runs on OxygenOS 12.1 on top of Android 12. Our review unit was running build A.03 at the time of testing. OnePlus has promised three major Android version updates and four years of security updates.
We are quite familiar with OxygenOS 12.1 at this point, not just because we have seen it on multiple OnePlus phones this year but also because we have used it on several other Oppo and Realme phones. This is, after all, just thinly veiled ColorOS 12.
The launcher, plucked out of ColorOS, is reasonably feature-rich, with support for customizable icons and third-party icon packs. OnePlus continues to use the same heavyset typeface for the icon labels, which look overly chunky and often run out of space before displaying the entire app name. You can choose to hide the app names from the homescreen but then they also get removed from the app drawer.
OxygenOS 12.1 Launcher
The homescreen supports the usual gestures of swiping down to bring down the notifications and double tap to lock the phone. You can also optionally swipe down from the right side to bring down the OnePlus Shelf, which is just another place to keep your widgets and access them from anywhere. You can also swipe right from the homescreen to access your Google feed. This, however, cannot be disabled and the Google feed always just exists there whether you use it or not.
The app drawer lets you change the sorting order and mark multiple apps to move them or delete them at once. You can't create folders here, though, and for some reason it still lists apps with numeric or non-alphabetical names at the bottom of the list rather than the top. There is also no easy way to hide apps anymore to a separate screen.
Settings and features
OnePlus, like other BBK companies, now also sets the default display scaling too low with respect to the size of the display. This makes everything appear far too large and also reduces the usable display area by pushing things out of view. You have to manually reduce it to make it look appropriate for this display size.
More settings
Aside from customizing the icons, OxygenOS 12.1 also features full theme support. To that effect, there is now also a theme store built-in, where users can download free and premium themes, wallpapers, and fonts. You can also manually customize parts of the UI, such as the quick settings icon, fingerprint animation, always-on display, and UI colors.
Theme store
There are plenty of features to explore, although most of them are buried within the Settings app and may not be explored by your average user at all. Some of them, such as Quick launch and Screen-off gestures are quite useful. The OnePlus 10T also adds Air Gestures, a first for a OnePlus phone, which lets you do things like dismissing calls by waving your hand in front of the screen.
Overall, the software experience of OxygenOS 12.1 on the OnePlus 10T is a little rough around the edges but usable. The major issue with it, however, is how little it is like the OxygenOS versions that came before it and how little of an effort it makes to hide the fact that it is ColorOS with a slightly different skin on top.
Hopefully, the upcoming OxygenOS 13 doesn't just bring some design improvements but makes OxygenOS look more like what long term OnePlus users expect it to look like.
Performance
The OnePlus 10T comes with the latest generation Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset. There is a choice of 8/12/16GB of LPDDR5 memory and 128/256GB UFS 3.1 storage, although not all variants are available in every region.
Synthetic benchmark performance was close to the best but not quite there. This is due to the fact that the 4x Kryo Silver cores max out at 1.8GHz on the OnePlus 10T as opposed to 2.0GHz on the other Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 devices we have tested. This is most easily seen in the multi-core score in Geekbench but also in the slightly lower Antutu 9 score compared to something like the Xiaomi 12S Ultra.

These results were obtained with the High performance mode enabled, which increases the base CPU clock speed and can also sustain higher clocks under load. With this mode disabled, the CPU performance drops down to roughly the same level as the Snapdragon 888's peak performance.
Admittedly, this is not noticeable in everyday usage and the phone remains extremely fast and smooth regardless of what mode you run it in. Having said that, it's worth nothing that you are not really getting the full CPU performance that this chip is capable of unless you enable a special mode, which, by the way, is not at all optimized for efficiency. Otherwise, you are getting no more performance out of this phone than what you would have gotten out of the OnePlus 9 Pro.
GPU performance, however, is unaffected and you always have access to the full power of the Adreno 730 at your disposal. Gaming performance is good but held back by the 60Hz limitation for most games. There is no point having this much performance under the hood if you are being held back from using it.
OnePlus has also implemented its largest vapor chamber yet for cooling the chipset. While playing games in an ambient temperature of around 23°C, the phone was able to maintain a comfortable temperature, even when playing at 90fps in select titles like Fortnite. However, with most games locked to 60fps, the cooling system never quite gets used to its full potential, so heating is rarely going to be an issue.
Camera
The OnePlus has a triple camera system on the back, consisting of a 50MP Sony IMX766 primary wide camera, an 8MP OmniVision OV08 ultrawide, and a 2MP OmniVision OV02 macro camera. Both the ultrawide and the macro cameras are fixed focus. On the front is a 16MP fixed-focus Samsung S5K3P9SP.
Unlike the OnePlus 10 Pro, the OnePlus 10T does not feature the Hasselblad branding, which suggests the camera is tuned entirely by OnePlus. In the past, we have struggled to see any difference in color performance between the OnePlus-tuned phones and those developed with Hasselblad and have always felt it was nothing more than a branding exercise so its absence here may not be a big loss.
The camera application is similar to the Hasselblad-branded OnePlus 10 Pro, minus the orange accents. The main camera view features the customizable bottom row for the different camera modes, and additional shooting options are placed at the top. Further options can be revealed by clicking on the three dot menu in the top right or simply swiping down (or right when held in landscape).
The app features a pro mode for photos and videos. The photo mode lets you adjust the usual settings like ISO, shutter speed, white balance, and focus with a toggle for focus peaking. You can save images in JPEG, JPEG+RAW, and RAW+. RAW files can only be captured from the main wide camera.
Camera app
The pro mode for video, simply titled Movie, has similar options for adjusting the ISO, shutter speed, white balance, and focus. There is no RAW capture here but you can record in log profile. Additionally, you can also record in HDR in the HLG standard. Image stabilization can be enabled or disabled. For whatever reason, the Movie mode can only record in 4K at 30fps in a 21:9 aspect ratio, which can be very limiting.
Like the OnePlus 10 Pro, the OnePlus 10T is capable of saving images in 10-bit color. These files can only be saved in the HEIF format.
We have brought this up in the 10 Pro review as well but we had no success opening these files in any application we tried on Windows. It is possible to open the 8-bit HEIF files on Windows, so it's not a format issue but there's something about the combination of 10-bit and HEIF that trips up Windows applications. The same images open just fine on macOS.
Daylight image quality
The OnePlus 10T primary camera has good image quality in daylight. The level of detail in the 12.5MP images is adequate, aided by the slightly aggressive sharpening. Image sharpness is even across the frame for landscape shots but the wide aperture and shallow depth of field can make it difficult to get the entire subject in focus in closeups without some fringing around the edges.
Daylight samples (1x)
Color reproduction is very good and OnePlus has come a long way in this department. The camera still struggles with certain shades of red, making them appear magenta, and greens tend to pop a lot more with a yellowish appearance but the overall rendition is pleasing.
If you like a bit more pop in your images, you may want to turn the AI scene enhancement on. We are not sure why you need AI to essentially oversaturate every scene regardless of the subject but sometimes the results come out better looking than with it off.
AI scene enhancement off vs on (1x)
The dynamic range is typically mediocre for a OnePlus camera. While highlight retention is good, the camera continues to suppress useful shadow details for a high contrast look. A way to get around this is manually adjusting exposure for shadows by tapping on the darker areas of the image and then letting the camera handle the rest of the scene but this may not work well if the scene is too high contrast.
If you want even finer control over the image capturing process, you may want to use the pro mode and shoot in RAW. Unfortunately, the RAW files from the IMX766 don't have a ton of dynamic range, which makes it difficult to shoot high contrast scenes.
The RAW+ mode is supposed to help with this but the extra dynamic range metadata only seems to work with some apps like Google Photos whereas all other apps including those on the desktop simply ignore it, making the RAW+ files look no different than the RAW files. Not helping matters is the OnePlus Gallery app, which still has zero support for editing RAW files.
The camera also has a 50MP mode to supposedly let you shoot in the camera's full resolution. More often than not these modes exist simply for marketing reasons as the camera is already shooting in its native resolution of 12.5MP. The 50MP mode simply upscales these 12.5MP images to 50MP, which adds no further detail and simply inflates file sizes.
Daylight samples, 50MP (1x)
The OnePlus 10T does not have a telephoto camera, so all zooming is done digitally on the primary camera. 2x zoomed images are of reasonable quality and perfectly usable. You can also use 5x in certain scenarios but beyond that image quality falls apart completely.
Daylight samples (2x)
Next is the 8MP ultrawide camera. This camera performed better than we expected and generally produced perfectly usable results when used in good lighting.
Daylight samples (ultrawide)
The level of detail in the images is on the lower side as could be expected from an ultrawide lens, relatively low resolution sensor, and lack of autofocus but still adequate for most use cases. Colors were less saturated compared to the main camera and had a slight magenta tint to them but looked good nonetheless and can be boosted further using the AI scene detection mode. Dynamic range was also good other than the occasional shadow crushing.
AI scene enhancement off vs on (ultrawide)
Lastly, there's the 2MP macro camera and the less said about it the better. Other than inflating the spec sheet it achieves very little else.
Macro samples
Low light image quality
The primary wide camera produces good results in low light conditions. Images are well exposed with good color rendition, dynamic range, and low noise.
Low light samples (1x)
The reason for this good performance is that the standard photo mode basically acts as night mode in low light conditions. Based on the available light, the camera will automatically adjust the intensity of the night mode processing it will apply. This means in dark enough conditions, the results from the standard photo mode look essentially identical to those from the night mode.
Low light samples, night mode (1x)
In most of our samples, we had to look much closer than we usually need to see if the night mode was bringing anything extra to the table. In reasonably lit environments, the dedicated night mode images had slightly better dynamic range and detail but as light levels worsened the two looked nearly identical.
Low light samples (ultrawide)
The only real advantage the night mode has is the tripod mode, which can be manually engaged when you have the phone stabilized. This starts an extra long timer, which produces cleaner, brighter images. This is only available in the dedicated night mode.
Low light samples, night mode (ultrawide)
Shooting with the ultrawide camera we saw similar results sometimes. Other times, the standard photo mode inexplicably chose to not enable night mode processing, which allowed us to see just how bad these images can get. If you are shooting in low light with the ultrawide, you absolutely need the night mode processing.
Portrait mode
The portrait mode on the OnePlus 10T shoots using the primary wide angle camera on the back. You can shoot using the full width of the sensor for a group photo or a cropped mode more suitable for a single subject.
Portrait mode
The camera can simulate an adjustable bokeh using a slider and a pseudo aperture. By default it is set to f2.8 for the full width and f4.5 for the cropped mode but you can set it to anything from f1.4 to f16. A variety of face alteration effects are also available but they are off by default.
Portrait mode works reasonably well on the OnePlus 10T and the edge detection is generally quite good. The default background blur is a bit on the stronger side but you can always reduce it to taste.
Selfies
The 16MP camera on the front is technically a tetrapixel sensor that natively captures 4MP images, which are then upscaled to 16MP. The result of this is that images don't have as much native resolution as the 16MP number would suggest.
Selfies
Raw pixels aside, the image quality is still quite good with good color reproduction and dynamic range. The background blur effect works okay most of the time but expect a slight trim to your hair and beard as it can't quite capture stray hair tips within the blur.
Video recording
The primary camera on the OnePlus 10T can record in 720p, 1080p, and 4K at 30fps and 60fps. Engaging any of the specialized modes such as AI scene enhancement, ultra steady, or portrait mode locks the resolution to 1080p.
The 4K video quality from the main camera is very good, with good levels of detail, good color performance, and dynamic range. You also get image stabilization for both frame rates, which works well and was sorely missing on the Nord 2T that has the same camera.
The 1080p performance is okay but aside from saving some storage space, we don't see any good reason to record in 1080p when 4K works well and looks a lot better.
The ultrawide camera unfortunately only records in 1080p at 30fps. Quality is good nonetheless but a 4K option would have been appreciated.
Verdict
The OnePlus 10T is a well-rounded premium smartphone. It offers great display quality, powerful performance, and super fast charging speeds. We were also suitably impressed with the performance of the primary camera on the back of the phone.
Since this is not the company's flagship (that honor still belongs to the OnePlus 10 Pro), the OnePlus 10T had to cut some corners. Things like a plastic frame and IP rating have become par for the course for OnePlus phones and the 2MP macro camera should have been left on the chopping block. The removal of the alert slider is also unbecoming of a OnePlus device, no matter the justification offered.
In the end, the OnePlus 10T does little to differentiate itself from its siblings in the Oppo and Realme family, both in terms of hardware and software, and lacks any standout features like the ones we are seeing in the competition. Regardless, it is a well-performing, reliable device that may not be exciting but will get the job done.
Pros
- Great display quality
- Smooth and fast performance
- Incredibly fast wired charging
- Good primary camera quality
Cons
- Plastic frame with no IP-rating
- No alert slider
- Terrible macro camera
- No wireless charging
- Most games limited to 60Hz, browsers to 90Hz
