OnePlus 10 Pro gets defeated by 2020’s Mi 10 Pro in DXOMark’s Camera test

The OnePlus 10 Pro is currently the top-most smartphone offering from the brand. The device has some great specifications on paper and its cameras were also boasted to have been improved. However, the smartphone has failed to take the upper spots in DXOMark’s global rankings for smartphone cameras. The device also got defeated by previous-gen flagships.

The OnePlus 10 Pro takes the 27th spot on DXOMark’s camera test with a score of 127. This is way too low for a flagship smartphone. The device has lost to the 2020’s Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro and 2021’s Vivo X60 Pro+. Some premium phones from previous years like the Apple iPhone 12 Pro and Vivo X50 Pro+ have also beaten the OnePlus 10 Pro.

It appears that the Hasselblad branding on the phone just acts as a tag and does not really help in improving the phone’s camera capabilities. However, the device does have an improved camera over its predecessors. For instance, the OnePlus 9 Pro comes in the 33rd spot, while the OnePlus 8 Pro bags the 54th position. So, the cameras on the OnePlus 10 Pro do seem to do well in comparison to its predecessors, however, it doesn’t seem to be as good of a camera as you’d expect from a 2022 flagship.

Currently, the Honor Magic4 Ultimate takes the lead with 146 points on the camera rankings by DXOMark. Next comes Huawei P50 Pro, Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, Huawei Mate 40 Pro+, and the Apple iPhone 13 Pro.

After the initial launch in China back in January, OnePlus has finally debuted its latest flagship device, the OnePlus 10 Pro globally. The flagship device has been launched for Indian, European, and North American markets, so let’s take a look at what it has to offer.

Design and display

The OnePlus 10 Pro takes design cues from the Samsung Galaxy S21 series and comes with a metal camera housing that melts with the frame on the side. On the right edge, we get the signature OnePlus alert slider while the back features a matte rear glass panel like its predecessors. Talking about size and weight, the handset measures 163 x 73.9 x 8.5mm in dimensions and weighs 200.5g.

On the front, the device flaunts a 6.7-inch second-generation LTPO AMOLED display (flexible) with support for variable refresh rates (1Hz to 120Hz). This curved panel has a resolution of 3216 x 1440 pixels (QHD+), 525 PPI, a punch-hole at the top left corner, and an in-screen fingerprint sensor. Other specs of the screen include 1300 nits peak brightness, 5000000:1 contrast ratio, 20.1:9 aspect ratio, 92.7% screen-to-body ratio, and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus protection.

Performance

The phone is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset paired with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage. The operating system on the device is the Android 12 based OxygenOS 12.1. The OS shares its codebase with OPPO’s mobile operating system (ColorOS) and brings along features such as HyperBoost (for gaming) and more.

The device gets its energy from a 5,000mAh battery. The North American version of the device has a 65W charger in the box, while users in Europe and India will be getting the 80W SuperVOOC power brick. The phone also features support for 50W AirVOOC fast wireless charging. It also has support for reverse wireless charging.

Other features of the smartphone include 5G connectivity, WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, GNSS, NFC, USB Type-C (USB 3.1), x-axis linear vibration motor, and dual stereo speakers with support for Dolby Atmos.

Camera

As far as optics are concerned, the OnePlus 10 Pro houses a triple camera setup on the rear. This system includes a 48MP Sony IMX789 primary sensor with OIS, a 50MP Samsung ISOCELL JN1 sensor 150° ultra-wide unit, and an 8MP 3.3x telephoto shooter with OIS. For selfies and video calls, there is a 32MP Sony IMX615 sensor on the front. All these cameras are co-tuned by Hasselblad with features like Hasselblad Natural Color Optimization 2.0, XPan Mode, and more.

OnePlus 10 Pro tours the stratosphere to capture some amazing pictures

Sudhanshu — Fri, 25 Mar 2022 16:01:15 +0000

OnePlus has confirmed the global launch of its latest flagship smartphone, the OnePlus 10 Pro, on March 31, 2022. The smartphone is equipped with high-performing cameras which is its main selling point. To demonstrate the photography quality of the OnePlus 10 Pro 5G, which is built in collaboration with Hasselblad, OnePlus launched their latest flagship into the stratosphere under the ‘Capture the Horizon’ campaign.

The smartphone captured breathtaking images of the earth’s horizon. The campaign was made possible by sending the smartphone into the stratosphere at 38,000 meters, where the wind speed is 200km/hr, and temperatures go down to minus 60 degrees.

The journey was made possible by an ultra-lightweight module attached to a weather balloon, which sheltered the phones from the elements. Further, an app was developed to remotely operate the devices, which helped click pictures at the right time and with the appropriate settings. Using meteorological calculations, the module with the phones was recovered, which pleasantly revealed some spectacular horizon images.

Talking about the campaign, Kate Parkyn, Associate Marketing Director, OnePlus Europe, said:
“Since the launch of the OnePlus 9 series, we have been in a close-knit strategic partnership with Hasselblad to co-create and improve on OnePlus flagship camera technology. This is the second year of our partnership with Hasselblad where we have further developed and improved the color science with the second-generation Hasselblad Camera for Mobile. Our campaign is inspired by Hasselblad’s historical voyage to space to take images of the moon and we were confident that our camera too will be successful in delivering the same image quality. We are extremely delighted to see the stunning images of the horizon captured by OnePlus 10 Pro and proudly present this trusted camera quality to OnePlus users.”

The initiative was executed in close collaboration with OnePlus community members. They were involved in naming the module and contributing to the stratosphere’s eventful journey.
For those unaware, Hasselblad was the first camera to take pictures on the moon. With the “Capture the Horizon” campaign, OnePlus has tried to prove the reliability and quality of the camera system on the OnePlus 10 Pro, which comes powered by Hasselblad.

OnePlus 10 Pro Unboxing & First Impression: Good looking design but lacks surprises

Paco Zheng — Fri, 14 Jan 2022 11:49:38 +0000

OnePlus officially launched the OnePlus 10 Pro in China. And quite strangely, there was only one model announced at the event. In fact, they didn’t even mention anything about the OnePlus 10 standard version.

But if OnePlus decided to keep a launch event just for one model, it’s clear that the brand considers this to be a very important model in their lineup.

And since we were a bit disappointed over the OnePlus 9 series, we wondered whether the 10 Pro could earn back the reputation for the lineup this year. Therefore, we pre-ordered the phone even before the launch and luckily got to be one of the very first to get the package.

Today, let’s check out what it offers.

The box comes in a recognizable OnePlus-like style, including the black-on-red design. The packaging of the OnePlus 10 Pro doesn’t seem to have anything to do with being environmental-friendly. At the bottom, you can see the HasselBlad showing up for the second time. The cooperation is still going on strong.

Open the box, and you’ll find everything to be quite similar to phones with much smaller boxes. All you’ve got is still the 10 Pro phone itself, a phone case, and the 80W wired-charging kit.

Coming back to the phone, to be honest, it seems to take design cues from the Samsung Galaxy S21 series. The ceramic camera housing melts with the frame, like on the Samsung flagship. It also retains the signature logos and matte rear glass panel from the 9 Pro. Notably, the OnePlus 10 Pro is only available in two color variants, black and green.

The phone is 8.5mm thick, which makes it feel a bit bulky. It’s worth mentioning that many brands now are thinking about slimming down their flagship devices, while OnePlus has decided to go the opposite way.

On the front, the phone comes with a 6.7-inch second-generation LTPO AMOLED display with support for an adaptive refresh rate. This curved panel has a resolution of 3216 x 1440 pixel and a punch-hole in the top left corner. Other specs of the display include 1300-nit peak brightness, and 92.7% screen-to-body ratio. This along with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus protection make it one of the top screens in the market right now. And this screen did look stunning when we played HDR content.

The phone is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset paired with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage. For the China version, it’s the debut model for ColorOS 12.1 based on Android 12. The latest version of OPPO’s mobile operating system brings features such as HyperBoost (for gaming) and more. And OnePlus also claimed that the 10 Pro has the best gaming experience among flagships. We will show you how exactly it performs in our latter full review video.

Stay tuned.

As far as the optics are concerned, the OnePlus 10 Pro houses a triple camera setup on the rear. This system includes a 48MP Sony IMX789 primary sensor with OIS, a 50MP Samsung JN1 sensor 150° ultra-wide unit, and an 8MP 3.3x telephoto shooter with OIS. But to be honest, the new setup didn’t really cheer me up, since we got the same IMX789 sensor and even a much better IMX 766 ultra-wide unit on its predecessor. To give you a better picture about its cameras, we’ll talk about this in our full review later.

For selfies and video calls, there is a 32MP Sony IMX615 sensor on the front. All these cameras are co-tuned by Hasselblad with features like Hasselblad Natural Color Optimization 2.0 and XPan Mode.

Other features of the OnePlus 10 Pro also bring a better interactive experience, including the x-axis linear vibration motor, and the dual stereo speakers with support for Dolby Atmos.

The greatest upgrade on paper is the phone’s power solution. It gets its energy from a 5,000mAh battery. This cell can be filled either by 80W SuperVOOC fast wired charging or 50W AirVOOC fast wireless charging. In addition, it also has support for reverse wireless charging.

The OnePlus 10 Pro now is available for sale from around 737 USD, which is almost the same as the pricing of the Xiaomi 12 Pro.
