OnePlus 10T returns to the winning formula of high specs and low price ($649)!

Four months after launch OnePlus 10 ProOnePlus is back with a new device, the OnePlus 10T. we later He struck The OnePlus 10 earlier this year looks like a decent patch given the high price of the OnePlus 10T: It’s $649$250 less than the $899 OnePlus 10 Pro.

Let’s look at the missing $250 from the spec sheet: the OnePlus 10T is slightly faster than the more expensive OnePlus 10 Pro, thanks to the Snapdragon 8+ Gen1 SoC. It has a slight 10 percent increase in MHz compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, giving benchmark results close to that amount. That 10 percent speed boost finally brings Qualcomm’s 2022 CPU performance on par with the 2021 chip — it was slightly slower before.

The phone still has 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage (and a new tier of 16GB/256GB for $100 more). There is still an in-screen fingerprint reader and a USB-C port At 4,800 mAh instead of 5,000 mAh, the battery is 4 percent smaller, and there’s no wireless charging. The phone doesn’t support Wi-Fi 6E (only Wi-Fi 6) and the cameras seem less important as the phone now has a 50MP Sony IMX776 screen, then an 8MP ultra-high resolution camera for fun only and a 2 MP camera for macro.

The 10T features a 6.7-inch, 120Hz, 2412 x 1080 OLED display with a dynamic refresh rate that switches between 120, 90 and 60Hz depending on the content. The more expensive 10 Pro has a higher resolution of 3216 x 1440 and a more dynamic refresh rate that can be scaled to 1Hz for even more power savings. For the price I take both compromises. We’ve been saying for a long time that phones have screens Too many pixelsThe added precision is not seen in real life. The 10T’s screen is still 394 dpi, which is perfectly fine.

I actually prefer the cheaper 10T screen over the OnePlus 10 because it’s flat. Most flagships from Samsung, OnePlus and Google use a curved screen along the long edges. A few years ago, being able to flex an OLED screen was technically impressive, but in real life, these screens seem to have only flaws. These distort any video or text on the edge of the phone and lead to more accidental touches on the screen It makes absolutely no sense to curve the screen. OnePlus may see this as some kind of cost-cutting measure, but the flat screen is actually a huge improvement.

Another cost-cutting measure: OnePlus’ three-position wake-up switch is missing from the OnePlus 10T. Previous OnePlus phones had a physical switch on the side that toggled between playing sound, vibrating only or no sound/vibration. Send files to OnePlus Seven paragraphs The title of the PDF is “Not a statement about careful skaters,” as if the company thinks it’s responding to a huge controversy. The closing paragraph even promises: “While the OnePlus 10T doesn’t have a warning slider, that doesn’t mean it will be removed from all future OnePlus devices.” I wouldn’t pay too much attention to the removal and would not care unless OnePlus says. Most phones don’t have a wake button because the volume buttons work just fine!
