Four months aft the motorboat of the OnePlus 10 Pro, OnePlus is backmost with a caller device, the OnePlus 10T. After we beat up the OnePlus 10 earlier this twelvemonth for having a precocious price, the OnePlus 10T looks similar a decent correction: It's $649, $250 cheaper than the $899 OnePlus 10 Pro.

Let's look for the missing $250 successful the spec sheet: The OnePlus 10T is somewhat faster than the much costly OnePlus 10 Pro, acknowledgment to the Snapdragon 8+ Gen1 SoC. This has a insignificant 10 percent faster MHz boost implicit the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and turns successful benchmark scores close astir that amount. That 10 percent velocity boost yet brings Qualcomm's 2022 CPU show backmost up to the level of its 2021 chip—previously it was a spot slower.

The telephone inactive has 8GB of RAM and 128GB of retention (and a caller 16GB/256GB tier for $100 more). There's inactive an in-screen fingerprint scholar and a USB-C port. The artillery is 4 percent smaller astatine 4800 mAh alternatively of 5000 mAh, and the wireless charging is gone. The telephone doesn't enactment Wi-Fi 6E (just Wi-Fi 6), and it sounds similar the cameras are each a tier lower, with the telephone present sporting a 50 MP Sony IMX776, and past a just-for-fun 8 MP ultrawide and a 2 MP macro camera.

The 10T has a 6.7-inch, 120 Hz, 2412×1080 OLED show with a dynamic refresh complaint that switches betwixt 120, 90, and 60 Hz, depending connected the content. The much costly 10 Pro has a higher resolution, 3216×1440, and a much dynamic refresh complaint that tin standard each the mode down to 1 Hz for much powerfulness savings. For the price, I'll instrumentality some of these trade-offs. We've agelong said telephone displays person too galore pixels, and the other solution is invisible successful existent life. The 10T show is inactive 394 ppi, and that's wholly fine.

I really similar the cheaper 10T show implicit the OnePlus 10, conscionable due to the fact that it's flat. Most flagships from Samsung, OnePlus, and Google usage a show that is curved on the agelong edges. Years agone it was technically awesome to beryllium capable to crook an OLED display, but successful existent life, these displays lone look to person negatives. They distort immoderate video oregon substance on the edges of the phone, and they pb to much accidental surface touches. There is nary payment astatine each to curving the screen. OnePlus astir apt views it arsenic immoderate benignant of cost-cutting measure, but successful reality, the level surface is simply a large improvement.

Another cost-cutting measure: OnePlus' three-position alert power is missing from the OnePlus 10T. Previous OnePlus phones person had a carnal power connected the broadside that would alteration betwixt sound-on, vibrate-only, oregon no-sound/no-vibrate. OnePlus sent implicit a seven-paragraph PDF titled "Statement connected No Alert Slider," arsenic if the institution thought it would beryllium responding to immoderate monolithic controversy. The closing paragraph adjacent promises: "While the OnePlus 10T does not person the alert slider, this does not mean it volition beryllium removed from each aboriginal OnePlus devices." I truly couldn't attraction little astir its removal and wouldn't person noticed if OnePlus didn't accidental anything. Most phones don't person an alert power due to the fact that the measurement keys enactment fine!
