DESIGN & DISPLAY
The design language for smartphones seems to have changed from curved to flat. You see a way flatter design when it comes to 10R.The back and the side frames are plastic/polycarbonate built. You miss out the glass and metal design. The device is light and has a slim design but doesn’t feel premium enough.
I got the Sierra Black model which has a dual-tone design with one being textured and one matte-finished. You get the device in Forest Green color as well.
You get a 6.7-inch fluid AMOLED and 10-bit color depth. The resolution is Full HD+ (2412 x 1080 pixels, 394 ppi) along with a refresh rate of 120 Hz and an aspect ratio of 20.1:9. The screen is protected by scratch-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass 5. The display feels premium you get a bright and well-balanced screen.
The right side has only a power button while the left side has two separate volume controls. The bottom side has a USB Type-C port for fast charging, data transfer, and audio output, as well as a loudspeaker (stereo), microphone (one more at the top), and dual SIM tray. The tray supports dual 5G SIM cards with dual standby, no microSD slot is available on the phone.
HARDWARE & PERFORMANCE
OnePlus 10R 5G is powered by the all-new 5nm MediaTek Dimensity 8100-MAX. The Dimensity 8100-MAX is a flagship SoC. The performance of the SoC seems faster than its predecessor and appears to be quite like the Snapdragon 888.
Gaming would be a delight for users on this device. They can experience high graphic games with lot of ease. The device in terms of performance & gaming will a big winner for me.
SOFTWARE
OnePlus 10 Pro 5G runs on OxygenOS 12.1 based on the Android 12 operating system. The OxygenOS 12 is the latest custom UI from OnePlus and packs a whole lot of features on top of the native Android 12 ones. The OxygenOS is currently one of the best Android interfaces free from bloatware and offers better customizations and features.
About the pre-installed apps, only the essential Google apps, Netflix, and a few OnePlus apps came with the phone, the rest is just clean, no third-party apps are installed as you see on certain smartphones. You have will have no complain and have a smooth and lag free experience with the device. The interface is clean.
CAMERAS
OnePlus 10R 5G comes with a 3 rear camera setup. OnePlus 10R 5G has a 50 MP camera utilizing the Sony IMX766, 8MP ultra-wide-angle and 2 MP macro cameras on paper. You get a 16MP selfie camera.
The camera supports Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), EIS, 4K video recording (at 30 fps), 1080p slow-motion recording, along with a dual-LED flash.
The primary lens is a better than the predecessor and you get desired results in day and low light conditions.Due to its OIS and newer IMX766 sensor, the results are bright and crisp. The camera set up is great for the primary and selfie lens.
BATTERY
One thing to like about this device is its 150W SuperVOOC fast charging which is available only with the 12 GB RAM and 256 GB storage variant and comes in a battery size of 4,500 mAh while the other two variants i.e. 8 GB RAM and 128 GB storage offer 80W fast charging.
