Chinese tech giant OnePlus has officially announced its latest flagship smartphone. The OnePlus 10T 5G was unveiled at a live event held in New York and streamed live on YouTube. The 10T is coming two years after OnePlus last updated the T-series smartphones, having skipped the 9T last year.
Design & Display
The OnePlus adopts a unique design similar to that of the OnePlus 10 Pro. It packs a large square camera bump on its rear. The device packs a 6.7-inch OLED screen with a resolution of 1080 x 2412 pixels and support for HDR10+ standard, up to 120Hz refresh rate, and 10-bit color depth. It should be noted that the OLED panel is less sophisticated than the LTPO2 panel used on the 10 Pro. The phone comes in two color options – Moonstone Black and Jade Green. 
Specifications
The OnePlus 10T 5G packs an upgraded Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 CPU paired with 8GB RAM or 16GB RAM. The device comes in 128GB or 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. OnePlus will provide a 12GB+256GB option to buyers in India.
The OnePlus 10T will run on OxygenOS 12.1 out of the box
In terms of the battery, the phone crams a 4,800mAh battery under the hood but you won’t have to worry about running out of battery as it supports 150W SuperVOOC fast charging. The phone comes with a 160W power adapter inside the box. However, the device’s maximum charging power in nations using 110V power outlets is 125W.
The Battery Health Engine feature which OnePlus introduced onboard the device is said to drastically reduce the battery’s long-term wear. Approximately 80% of the battery’s capacity is expected to remain after 1,600 charging cycles.
Camera
The OnePlus 10T comes with a significant downgrade in the camera hardware in comparison to the 10 Pro in order to keep the price low. The widely utilized and largely underwhelming 8MP ultrawide and 2MP macro cameras are employed in place of the sophisticated ultrawide camera and the 3x telephoto unit. The device retains the 50MP Sony IMX766 main sensor used on the 10 Pro which is impressive. It is combined with an optically stabilized lens and a wide f/1.8 aperture.
For selfies, the device packs a 16MP sensor with large 1.0 mm pixels and an f/.2.4 aperture.
