The situation around OnePlus has just gotten worse. Last week, we covered the entire OnePlus motherboard dying crisis and the brand’s official response. Now, it seems like even more OnePlus phones are getting bricked, but this time, an update might be the reason for this problem.

Are the OnePlus 10 & OnePlus 9 Series at Risk?

Parth Monish Kohli shared a tweet that warned owners of the OnePlus 10 and OnePlus 9 series from updating their phones. Apparently, the brand’s older flagship smartphones are facing issues after installing the August update. This issue is reportedly affecting the OnePlus 9, 9 Pro, 9R, 9RT, 10, 10 Pro, and 10R. While the exact problem is still unclear, the latest software update is bricking these older OnePlus smartphones.

Owners of these models have come forward saying that this particular update has damaged their OnePlus devices. Some claim that it is the motherboards that are getting damaged after the update. If this is true, then the company might be facing a faulty update. Keep in mind that the root cause of this issue is still unclear so take this report with a pinch of salt. But considering all the issues OnePlus users are facing, it won’t be a surprise.

Is this linked to the motherboard dying issue?

Recently, some OnePlus 10 Pro 5G users were complaining about their phones heating up and facing lags. Motherboards on some OnePlus devices died completely for a few people. But we don’t know if these two issues are directly connected, or whether the update somehow sped up the processor or made it more common. OnePlus has launched an investigation into this issue but these haven’t yielded any results so far. So till then, OnePlus 10 and OnePlus 9 series owners should likely steer clear from this update and stay tuned for more updates regarding this matter.

The post OnePlus is giving Free Gifts and Other Offers on OnePlus 10T and 10 Pro appeared first on Gizmochina.

OnePlus is launching its latest flagship, the OnePlus 10T to international markets on August 3rd at 10 AM EDT / 3 PM BST / 7:30 PM IST. And for the first time in 2 years, the launch event will be held physically at Gotham Hall, New York City, USA for the American and European market, whilst for the Indian and Asian markets, the OnePlus 10T 5G launch premiere will be held at Bengaluru International Exhibition Centre, India.

The OnePlus 10T has been extensively teased these past few weeks on the brand’s official social media pages, as well as being leaked on many electronics safety certifications and benchmarking platforms. In this roundup article, we at Gizmochina have compiled all the info that you should know about the OnePlus 10T.

OnePlus 10T Specs and Design

Starting with the engine powering the OnePlus 10T, the latest Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC by Qualcomm promises to deliver 10% higher CPU and GPU performance, 4 times faster AI performance and 30% better power efficiency compared to the top-end OnePlus 10 Pro launched earlier this year.

On the topic of speed, the OnePlus 10T will also feature a massive 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB of fast UFS 3.1 internal storage to provide a smoother and speedier multitasking experience. The screen can also keep up with the speed that the OnePlus 10T provides as it is a 6.7-inch 120Hz refresh rate E4 AMOLED display with a centered punch hole cutout that houses the selfie camera at the front. 

The device features an in-screen fingerprint sensor that is both secure and fast for users to unlock their phones. Charging-wise, the OnePlus 10T features the brand’s most rapid charging yet at 150W wired fast charging support. The 150W SuperVOOC charging support onboard promises to charge the OnePlus 10T’s 4800mAh battery in just 10 minutes, and the battery endurance is said to last the user a full day.

Coming to the less exciting features, the cameras of the OnePlus 10T is a rather conventional Android budget flagship triple-camera setup. The main lens is a Sony IMX766 sensor with OIS, the ultra-wide is a unknown 8MP sensor, the third sensor is a 2MP macro lens and the front-facing camera is a 16MP unit for selfies.

Other things to note about the OnePlus 10T design are that this OnePlus flagship will not be featuring Hasselblad’s branding on its cameras and that the OnePlus 10T will be the first-ever OnePlus flagship to ditch the alert slider. OnePlus’ reasoning for the abandonment of the alert slider is that it wanted to make space for the speedy 150W fast charging and larger 4800mAh battery that would benefit the users more than the alert slider.

OnePlus 10T Colors and Pricing

The OnePlus 10T is officially announced to be arriving in 2 colour options: Matte Black and Glossy Green. 

The OnePlus 10T is expected to launch at a lower starting price than the OnePlus 10 Pro, which means that it could start at US$749//£659/€749/Rs 49,999. For reference, the OnePlus 10 Pro was launched globally starting from US$899/£799/€899/Rs 66,999.

Last week, tipster Yogesh Brar teamed up with Onsitego to release the leaked renders of a OnePlus flagship, which may arrive in the market with the OnePlus 10T name. Now, the same tipster has collaborated with the publication My Smart Price to share fresh renders of another OnePlus phone that sports a design similar to the OnePlus 10 Pro. Since it has a familiar design, it could be the vanilla OnePlus 10 smartphone.

1 of 3

The leaked renders of the alleged OnePlus 10 show that it has a punch-hole display on the front. The rear design of the phone seems to be inspired by the OnePlus 10 Pro. The camera module, which fuses with the frame of the device, houses three cameras and an LED flash but lacks the Hasselblad branding. The handset also lacks an alert slider.

According to Brar, the rear camera setup of the device comprises a 50-megapixel main camera with an f/1.8 aperture, an 8-megapixel ultrawide lens, and a 2-megapixel macro. On the front, it has a 16-megapixel selfie camera. It has a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a refresh rate of 120Hz, a touch sampling rate of 360Hz, 10-bit color, HDR10+ support, and sRGB and P3 color gamut. It is powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 Plus chipset and has a 4,800mAh battery that supports 150W fast charging.

It will come in two LPPDR5 RAM + UFS 3.1 storage variants, such as 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage and 12 GB RAM + 256 GB storage. It will offer other features such as 2×2 MIMO, Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC, an in-screen fingerprint scanner, a USB-C port, and dual speakers. It will be available in black and white. The source also said that the device’s final design will be set by the end of this month and that it will go into production in July.

This device has inferior front and rear cameras as compared to the alleged OnePlus 10T. The rest of the specs seem to be identical on both devices. Readers should note that the final marketing names of both devices are yet to be confirmed.

OnePlus is working on its next numbered flagship phone. A recent leak claimed that it will be debuting on the market with the OnePlus 10T moniker. However, the possibility of it being called the OnePlus 10 can not be ruled out. Now, the publication Onsitego has published renders based on early prototypes of the smartphone. In addition, it has also leaked the key specifications of the device.

OnePlus 10 (10T) design

The OnePlus 10 renders show that it has a punch-hole display on the front. The left side of the device features volume up and down buttons. Its right spine has a power key. It is yet another OnePlus phone to lack the iconic alert slider.

Moving to the back, the OnePlus 10 sports a huge camera module, which occupies 1/3^rd of the device. The squarish camera module has three cameras and a circular LED flash. The rear design of the phone seems to be inspired by the OnePlus 10 Pro 5G.

OnePlus 10 specifications (rumored)

According to the publication, the OnePlus 10 will come with a 6.7-inch AMOLED display that offers a Full HD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. For selfies, it will feature a 32-megapixel front-facing camera. Its rear camera setup will comprise of an OIS-assisted 50-megapixel main camera, a 16-megapixel ultrawide lens, and a 2-megapixel macro camera.

The handset was expected to feature the Dimensity 9000 SoC, but the company has reportedly settled for the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chip. It will pack a 4,800mAh battery with 150W fast charging support. The other features that will be available on the device include an in-screen fingerprint scanner and stereo speakers.

The OnePlus 10 (10T) will be slotted in between the OnePlus 10R and OnePlus 10 Pro. The publication claims that it may launch in July in India and other markets.

The post OnePlus 10 (or 10T) renders, specifications emerge, launch seems imminent appeared first on Gizmochina.

OnePlus has been on a launch spree this year. The company recently launched OnePlus 10R as an affordable flagship and there are also rumors that the BBK-owned company is bringing back the ‘T’ series with the OnePlus 10T 5G. However, the company has still not confirmed or denied the launch of the much-awaited Vanilla OnePlus 10, but tipster Yogesh Brar is here to rectify that.

According to the tipster, the Vanilla OnePlus 10 codenamed ‘Project Ovaltine’ will launch by the end of July. The tipster also confirms that the smartphone will be powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Soc.

OnePlus 10* (Project Ovaltine) another Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 smartphone

— Yogesh Brar (@heyitsyogesh) June 8, 2022

Brar’s report seems to be in conflict with Max Jambor who earlier denied the existence of the vanilla version and claimed that the OnePlus 10T 5G is going to be the last and only flagship coming out by the brand this year.

All these leaks and rumors show just how messed up OnePlus’ lineup has gotten. First, the company skipped the standard OnePlus 10 and jumped straight to the Pro model. Now it appears that the Chinese tech giant will finally make up for its mistakes and launch the standard version.

Anyways, the details about the alleged OnePlus 10 are pretty short. However, if previous leaks and rumors are to be believed, the smartphone could sport a 6.7-inch LTPO2 AMOLED screen offering FHD+ resolution. The smartphone is likely to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor paired with either 8GB or 12GB RAM and 128GB or 256GB of storage.

It may pack a decent 4,800mAh battery capacity and could support 150W fast charging. Talking about the cameras, The OnePlus 10 is expected to feature triple rear cameras with the Hasselblad branding, consisting of a 50MP main camera, a 16MP ultrawide camera, and a 2MP macro shooter. While it may house a 32MP selfie camera on the front.

The post The Vanilla OnePlus 10 codenamed ‘Project Ovaltine’ might launch soon, says tipster appeared first on Gizmochina.

OnePlus surprised us this year by not releasing a vanilla version of the OnePlus 10, but instead going straight to the OnePlus 10 Pro. We were hoping that the company would make up for that with a new OnePlus 10 Ultra. However, according to a new report, there is going to be no “Ultra”. OnePlus will instead launch a new “T” series smartphone, dubbed OnePlus 10T 5G.

According to a tweet by Max Jambor, OnePlus is working on a “OnePlus 10T” flagship and it is going to be the last flagship coming from the brand this year. Furthermore, in the comments of the same tweet, Jambor replied, shattering our hopes, that there will be no OnePlus 10 Ultra.

Final name of the next and only flagship phone coming this year: OnePlus 10T 5G

— Max Jambor (@MaxJmb) June 1, 2022

Jambor confirmed that the OnePlus 10T is in fact the rumored Vanilla OnePlus 10 and Ultra. Multiple sources have already stated that the OnePlus 10 lineup includes an “Ultra” model so it is possible that the OnePlus 10T 5G could be a rebranded version of the smartphone shown in earlier leaks.

If the OnePlus 10T 5G is indeed the long-rumored OnePlus 10 Ultra, then we can expect it to feature Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chip and 150W wired fast charging support. It could also sport a 6.7-inch AMOLED FHD+ panel, 50MP primary camera on the back, and a 4,800mAh battery. Not to mention Hasselblad Cameras.

You can also expect the smartphone to feature LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 flash storage. It will most likely be made of metal and glass. These are all speculations and we do not have any official information regarding the smartphone. We’ll let you know as soon as we have more details.

Let us know in the comments what you think about this new Smartphone!

OnePlus has just launched the OnePlus Ace in the Chinese market which is confirmed to come to the global market with the OnePlus 10R moniker. Now, a new report has emerged revealing that OnePlus is also working on the vanilla OnePlus 10.

According to a Digit report, popular tipster OnLeaks has provided some details regarding the upcoming OnePlus 10. The report states that the OnePlus 10 is currently in the testing phase and is being tested with chips from both Qualcomm and MediaTek.

The models being tested are running the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 SoC and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Plus SoC. Currently, it is unclear as to which out of the two SoCs will make it into the final product. However, given that the phone is still in the testing phase, the OnePlus 10R is expected to debut in the second half of 2022.

The device is said to get a 6.7-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display panel offering support for 120Hz refresh rate. Just like the OnePlus 10 Pro, the vanilla variant’s panel is also expected to support LTPO 2.0 technology for dynamic refresh rates ranging from 1Hz to 120Hz.

The device will come with 8GB/12GB RAM and 128GB/256GB storage options and will be running the latest Android 12-based OxygenOS 12 version. It is rumored to come with a 4,800mAh battery with the 150W SUPERVOOC fast-charging.

Coming to its camera configuration, the OnePlus 10 is expected to feature a triple camera setup headlined by a 50MP primary sensor. The other two cameras present on the back will house a 16MP ultra-wide sensor and a 2MP macro camera. Like previous flagship devices, the OnePlus 10 will have the Hasselblad branding for its cameras. On the front, the device will have a 32MP selfie camera.

To compare, the OnePlus 9 came with a 50MP ultra-wide camera which makes it look like the ultra-wide camera is getting a downgrade, but we’ll wait before drawing any conclusions as megapixels aren’t everything in a smartphone camera.

Last week, there were multiple leaks regarding upcoming Oneplus products. Hence, we thought to put them together for our latest weekly compilation. For the unaware, we at GizmoChina, bring you a roundup article every Monday discussing select stories from the previous week.

In this week’s episode, we will talk about five Oneplus leaks. Of which, two of them are very interesting as they are regarding a foldable and a new series.

With that out of the day, let’s take a look at these leaks one by one.

Oneplus Leaks from Last Week

Oneplus foldable in the works

Last Friday, tipster Yogesh Brar revealed that Oneplus is working on a foldable smartphone. Unfortunately, it is not a  self-developed device. The handset is merely a copy of Oppo Find N, which is sold exclusively in China.

Hence, the upcoming Oneplus foldable phone could be just a new name for the Oppo Find N for international markets.

It is not known what Oneplus will call its first foldable smartphone. Just like other brands, the company will most likely use the ‘Fold’ branding, such as ‘Oneplus Fold’.

We are looking forward to learning about the device’s price and availability in the coming days.

Ace series to return with Oneplus at the helm

Oppo killed the Ace series after the launch of Oppo Ace 2 in 2020. Realme’s GT series replaced this lineup offering products at multiple price points.

 On Friday, a Chinese media house (Whylab) disclosed that Oneplus will bring back the Ace series from the dead. This device carries model number PGKM10 and it is nothing but a rebranded Relame GT Neo 3.

The phone will likely release as Oneplus 10R in some markets. Because we have been hearing about it for a long time and it shares almost everything with the Realme GT Neo 3.

In a nutshell, the Oneplus Ace could be limited to China, like the previous two Ace-branded handsets from Oppo. On the other hand, the Oneplus 10R may launch in India and even Europe (doubtful).

Oneplus Nord 2T to feature Dimensity 1300 SoC

On Friday, Mediatek quietly announced Dimensity 1300 SoC, the successor of the Dimensity 1200 chipset. A day earlier, a leak had already revealed that this chip will be present inside the upcoming Oneplus Nord 2T.

The design of the Oneplus Nord 2’s successor was also disclosed in the same leak via renders. The phone will have two large circles on the rear, however, only one of them will be fully occupied with a large OIS-enabled 50MP Sony IMX766 sensor. Whereas, the second circle will house weird-looking tiny 8MP Sony IMX355 ultra-wide unit and a 2MP monochrome sensor.

Other features of the handset will include a 32MP Sony IMX709 front-facing camera, LPDDR4x RAM, UFS 3.1 storage, 6.43-inch FHD+ AMOLED display, dual stereo speakers, alert slider, 4,500mAh battery, and 80W fast charging.

The Oneplus Nord 2T is rumored to launch in late April or early May.

Oneplus 10 could be powered by Dimensity 9000 SoC

On Thursday, tipster Yogesh Brar once again tweeted that Oneplus is working on a smartphone housing a MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset. He suggests that this phone will probably go official as the Oneplus 10.

For the first time, Oneplus didn’t release a vanilla flagship model alongside the Pro (Oneplus 10 Pro) this year. At the same, the brand is also rumored to working on an ‘Ultra’ model.

The company is yet to officially tease either of these handsets. However, the so-called Oneplus 10 Ultra is rumored to debut at the end of Q3.

Oneplus Nord N20 is an Oppo mid-ranger for the US

On Wednesday, PCMag exclusively revealed details about the upcoming Oneplus Nord N20. Going by the report, the upcoming Nord for the US will be nothing but a tweaked version of Oppo A96 5G sold in China.

The international OPPO A96 is already official in Southeast Asia as Oppo Reno 7Z 5G. It is expected to release in India and Europe as Oppo F21 Pro 5G and Oppo Reno7 Lite 5G respectively.

The Oneplus Nord N20 is said to debut in the US later this month with features like a 6.43-inch FHD+ AMOLED display, in-screen fingerprint sensor, Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 SoC, 64MP (wide) + 2MP (macro) + 2MP (depth) triple camera system, 16MP selfie camera, 4,500mAh battery, 33W fast charging, and OxygenOS 11 based on Android 11.

In a twist from tradition, the OnePlus 10 Pro was released without its accompanying vanilla model and a tipster has now hinted that it could be on its way. Tipster Yoges Brar has tweeted that the OnePlus 10 could be unveiled soon and it will differ significantly from the Pro version. The tipster indicates that the purported OP 10 model will be powered by a Dimensity 9000 chipset instead of the Snapdragon SoC.

The tipster has pointed out that the vanilla 10 will be a limited edition model and will pack MediaTek’s latest Dimensity 9000 chipset. It has to be noted that the tweet is at best, speculative at this time, as the specified smartphone may indeed be different from the OnePlus 10. The tipster is also indicating that work on the OnePlus 10 Ultra model is also ongoing.

There is a new device powered by Dimensity 9000 being readied for a limited release, likely the OnePlus 10 that I had pointed out a couple of months back.
This model is not dead afterall.

Work on the 'Ultra' model is in full swing, might see it in the wild soon….

OnePlus is yet to make a definitive statement yet on the OnePlus 10 or OnePlus 10 Ultra rumored to be in the works. In that regard, possible release dates for the models are elusive at this time. However, this is not the first time the Chinese phone maker is linked with a MediaTek-powered flagship. The OnePlus 10R had earlier been tipped to pack a MediaTek Dimensity 8100 chipset. That also is yet to get an official confirmation.

Earlier this year, OnePlus released their latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 clad flagship, the OnePlus 10 Pro in the Chinese market. The company has recently confirmed that the OnePlus 10 Pro will come to Indian, European, and US markets by the end of March.

Rumors also emerged of OnePlus working on a new smartphone codenamed “Oscar,” which is believed to be the vanilla OnePlus 10 and is said to launch in Q2 2022. Now, potential back panel images of the OnePlus 10 have surfaced online revealing a pretty distinct camera module to its Pro counterpart.

According to a Weibo tipster, the image is obtained from industry sources, although there is not much information as to which model the back panel actually belongs to. Looking at the design, there is no stovetop camera module present, and instead, it looks similar to the camera of the Xiaomi 12.

It appears to have one massive primary camera located in the top left corner and three other cutouts which could house an ultrawide camera, a telephoto camera, and even a monochrome camera. The pictures also reveal that the device will at least come in white and Matte black colors.

Unrelatedly, OnePlus is also said to be working on the next generation of Nord smartphone dubbed the OnePlus Nord 3. So far, it has been revealed to have a 6.7-inch Full-HD+ OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The device will likely have a centered positioned punch-hole for the selfie camera.

It could be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8100 processor with four Cortex-A78 cores. The chipset will support LDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage. The rear side of the phone will be equipped with a 50-megapixel Sony IMX766 main camera and will draw power from a 4,500mAh battery. It will have a 150W fast charging support and is likely to boot Android 12 OS. This smartphone is also rumored to hit the markets in the second quarter of 2022.

The post Alleged OnePlus 10 back panel image surfaces, reveals distinct design from OnePlus 10 Pro appeared first on Gizmochina.

Back in January, OnePlus launched its current flagship smartphone, the OnePlus 10 Pro which brought along the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC. Now, reports have emerged that OnePlus is working on a new device which could be the vanilla OnePlus 10.

According to a 91mobiles report, known tipster Yogesh Brar has revealed that OnePlus is working on a new smartphone codenamed “Oscar.” Brar has also stated that the device will be part of the brand’s numbered series of smartphones ( like the OnePlus 9, 9 Pro, 10 Pro, etc.). There is currently no information available on the device’s specs or name, however, the tipster states that the OnePlus “Oscar” will debut in Q2 2022. Meaning we can expect a new OnePlus launch between April and June.

As the brand has just unveiled the OnePlus 10 Pro smartphone last month, it is safe to assume that this is not the OnePlus 11. However, the company is yet to release the vanilla OnePlus 10 in any market, leading us to believe that the OnePlus “Oscar” might be the codename for the OnePlus 10. We can expect the OnePlus 10 to also be equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC as the company has always released their flagships with the same chipsets. Other than that, we can look at the spec sheet of the OnePlus 10 Pro to get an idea of what to expect from the vanilla variant.

OnePlus 10 Pro Specifications and Features

The OnePlus 10 Pro features a 6.7-inch LTPO 2.0 AMOLED display with support for variable refresh rates from 1Hz to 120Hz. It offers a screen resolution of 3216 x 1440 pixels, 525 PPI pixel density, 1300 nits peak brightness, 5000000:1 contrast ratio, 20.1:9 aspect ratio, 92.7% screen-to-body ratio, and Gorilla Glass Victus for protection.

It also comes with an under-display fingerprint sensor for added security. Under the hood, the device comes powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset, coupled with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 internal storage.

For photography, the phone comes with a 48MP Sony IMX789 primary sensor with OIS, a 50MP Samsung ISOCELL JN1 sensor 150-degree ultra-wide unit, and an 8MP 3.3x telephoto shooter with OIS. On the front side, the device has a 32MP Sony IMX615 snapper for taking selfies and video calling. All these cameras are co-tuned by Hasselblad with features like Hasselblad Natural Color Optimization 2.0.

The phone is running the Android 12 operating system with ColorOS 12.1 custom interface on top. It is powered by a 5,000mAh battery and comes with support for 80W SuperVOOC fast charging, 50W AirVOOC fast wireless charging, and reverse wireless charging.

OnePlus recently unveiled the OnePlus 10 Pro in China with the global launch still in the loop. While that is yet to happen, there are already rumors of a OnePlus 10 Ultra which is expected to have a spectacular camera setup.

We may have just spotted a sketch of the 10 Ultra via a recent patent which the Chinese company secured in September 2021. The device bears a close semblance with the OnePlus 10 Pro but the camera layout is noticeably different.

OnePlus Technology did patent this Design in September 2021. This Phone looks a lot like the OnePlus 10 Pro, but the Camera Layout is different. pic.twitter.com/cS3qyhk6rX

— TechInsider (@TechInsiderBlog) January 28, 2022

The patent image which was spotted by tipster @TechInsider shows a rectangular camera that indicates a mirror-aided periscope camera. This will be a first in the OnePlus lineup if it pans out as the patent suggests. That is because the company had only used telephoto lenses on previous models but since its merger with OPPO, we expect such radical changes. It was recently rumored that the company was planning to merge the OxygenOS and HydrogenOS custom ROM to one known as H2OOS.

The OnePls 10 Ultra is also expected to come with a few other changes from the 10 Pro, one of which could be an in-house MariSilicon NPU that will further improve the imaging capabilities of the phone’s camera.

The 10 Ultra is tipped to arrive in the second half of the year which is still a long time away. Thus, we expect further details to emerge before then.

Lately, I am a bit disappointed with the flagship phones that have been released this year. I mean, can you believe it? They are worse than the previous generation in a lot of departments. And the price isn’t much cheaper either. In contrast, you could be better off getting last year’s flagship phones. That’s right, I’m talking about Xiaomi, IQOO, and today’s star: OnePlus 10 Pro.

I think the biggest upgrade to the OnePlus 10 Pro this year is in its appearance. Those who like it must feel that it has a really unique look. It’s easier to recognize than the OnePlus 9 Pro.

OnePlus 10 Pro Review: Design & Display

The frosted glass on the back cover is still silky smooth as ever. And the lens module part is made of ceramic, which looks extra premium when illuminated by light. But some people feel that this design does not look good. They think it copies Samsung’s design. Not to mention there is a gap between the frame and the lens. The upper frame is cut and flattened, but the lower frame is still rounded.

It looks like the design features four lenses but it’s actually just three. What looks like a ring flash design turns out to be just an ordinary dual flash. The lens is very easy to get fingerprints on. All in all, it’s a good thing that some people are debating how good the OnePlus 10 Pro looks. 

At least it shows that it’s different this year, which is an improvement of sorts, right?

When compared to last year’s 9 Pro, the OnePlus 10 Pro’s screen is almost unchanged. It still features 1440P resolution, 120Hz refresh rate. Even the light-emitting material is still the same Samsung E4 material. Although this screen is still top-level, bright and vivid, the screen is not significantly off-color when viewed obliquely. But it also means that if you switch from the OnePlus 9 Pro to the 10 Pro, you won’t see any change. There are still a few upgrades in the experience though. The first upgrade is that the fingerprint recognition area has been moved up, making it more comfortable to unlock.

The second upgrade is that it uses the second generation of LTPO. the principle of LTPO 2.0 was explained in detail in the Xiaomi 12 Pro review, so we won’t go over it again. But it has a different adaptive refresh rate strategy than the Xiaomi 12 Pro. When you stop swiping the screen, the OnePlus 10 Pro can reduce it to 1Hz in a very short time. and that’s true for almost all apps.I also found that the LTPO 2.0 screen refresh rate is also related to the brightness. For example, if you are in high brightness, the screen can go down to 1Hz when it is stationary, but when the screen brightness is slightly reduced, it can only go down to 5Hz or 10Hz at minimum. When the brightness is low enough, the OnePlus 10 Pro can only display at 120Hz refresh rate all the time.

The Xiaomi 12 Pro, which also uses LTPO 2.0, will have a similar phenomenon, except that it can be displayed at a 60Hz refresh rate even when reduced to its lowest brightness. So when you’re in a room at night with the lights off and a low brightness screen, LTPO does little to save power.

OnePlus 10 Pro Review: Performance & Gaming

Although the OnePlus 10 Pro is using Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, OnePlus says: Hey, we’re very confident in our optimization tuning for gaming. So let’s see what happens.

 Antutu scores 980,000, GeekBench 5 scores 1239 single-core and 3407 multi-cores. 3D MARK scores over 10,000, making it the first phone we’ve tested to break 10,000 in room temperature conditions. And whether or not the high-performance mode is turned on, it can successfully complete the 3D Mark Extreme Stress Test.

The maximum temperature of the body is only about 47 degrees Celsius. Although the stability is not high, but it is much better than some Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 phones that cannot even complete the test.

1 of 2

Before we start the OnePlus 10 Pro gaming test, I would like to introduce two features. The first is the Hyper Response Engine, which allows you to be more responsive with your touch. Although we can see in the slow-mo video that it does make you shoot faster, you can hardly feel it in reality. And it will increase your power consumption, so this feature will not be turned on for the next test. There is also a feature called Ultra-steady frames which allows you to have smoother transitions when the frame rate drops. This feature is also available on the OnePlus 9 RT and is a really good experience, and will be turned on for the next game tests.

PUBG is the same as ever and is not a threat to Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. Almost 60fps all the way through. There was a big update to Genshin Impact recently. It boosted the highest resolution of all Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 phones, so we retested the Xiaomi 12 Pro’s results before comparing them.

As you can see there is actually a big difference between the OnePlus 10 Pro and the Xiaomi 12 Pro. The Xiaomi tends to keep the FPS high, but lags more often. On the other hand, OnePlus lowered the average FPS in order to reduce lag. However, the temperature difference between them is not much, neither of them exceeds 50 degrees Celsius.

Brightridge both have strikingly similar gameplay strategies, with both phones going back and forth between 40 and 25 fps late in the game. The maximum temperature is also close to 50 degrees Celsius.

It seems that both phones perform pretty much the same for games that are not optimized. Based on the above tests, I am quite satisfied with the gaming performance of the OnePlus 10 Pro. At least the more stable frame rate results in a good gaming experience.

OnePlus 10 Pro Review: Cameras

The biggest step back for the OnePlus 10 Pro this year is the camera system. Let’s compare the camera system of the OnePlus 9 Pro.

There is a monochrome camera missing, which is not a big deal. The biggest problem is the ultra-wide camera has been downgraded to the even weaker JN 1. Last year we did a comparison of flagship phones, and the OnePlus 9 Pro had the best ultra-wide camera of the bunch last year.

Ultra-Wide 150-degree camera

Can the OnePlus 10 Pro defend that honor? The answer is No. First of all, it is very difficult to take pictures with this 150-degree fisheye lens. It is very difficult to compose a picture. Its severe distortion will make all objects very strange. And your fingers are very easy to enter the picture. Second, the ultra-wide image is doomed to its edge quality is not too good. The image quality performance at the edge of the frame is poor. It’s really a step backward compared to the Freeform Lens of the 9 Pro. OnePlus is aware of these issues, so after cropping and AI correction, this fisheye lens is also usable as a normal ultra-wide camera. The processed ultra-wide photos perform much better. As long as you don’t zoom in to see it, both exposure, dynamic range, and color are excellent. Especially in night mode, the OnePlus 10 Pro takes very bright images. But there are still some things that can’t be fixed by AI. For example, the light in the upper right corner of this photo looks like it was cut off. Also, if you take a picture of a street lamp, there will definitely be a circular halo. However, the normal ultra-wide lens will not have this problem. This lens because there is no more auto-focus function, so you also have no way to take macro photos.

1 of 17

Main Camera

The main camera performed better than last year’s OnePlus 9 Pro. There is no problem with greenish photos. Daytime colors are vibrant and dynamic range is excellent. Colors and exposure are very accurate at night. Auto mode is almost at the level of night mode. Overall, this lens is excellent. The only thing to worry about is its stability. The night mode is sometimes buggy when there is not enough light, but this bug should be fixed soon. So, there is no need to worry.

1 of 10

Telephoto Camera

This 3.3x telephoto lens has a relatively small sensor size, so you can probably tell what its performance is like. Its main drawback is that the dynamic range is not as good as the first two cameras. It tends to overexpose the high light areas. However, because it has OIS stabilization, it has a higher success rate at night than other phone telephoto lenses that don’t have OIS. Of course, the sensor size is small, so even if you don’t blur the photo because of shaky hands, you won’t get much of an excellent photo. But even so, it is one of the best telephoto lenses in the new phones of 2022. It really is so ironic.

1 of 6

The main camera supports up to 8K 24fps video recording. The ultra-wide lens supports up to 4k 30fps, while the telephoto can only record 1080p video. Probably considering the problem of poor image quality at the edges, the ultra-wide camera can’t use 150° fisheye mode when recording video. In fact, this mode is probably much more useful for video recording than for taking photos. Because this view is very much like a sports camera like GoPro shot, shooting a first-person video will be very interesting.

OnePlus 10 Pro Review: Battery & Charging

There is an 80w charger inside the box. So that means it can charge at 80w. You must be thinking: Wow, 80w must be much faster than the 65w charging speed of the OnePlus 9 Pro. But in reality, that’s not true. When charging the phone, we were surprised to see ow  this 80w charger is so slow. Although the battery is 500mAh, larger than the 9 Pro, it’s not like this charging time is an 80w charging result. And this charger went back to USB-A to C wire from the 9 Pro’s USB-C to C wire. So, charging wise OnePlus 10 Pro can be said to have no real progress. The charger even regressed.

Can that big 5000mAh battery make the OnePlus 10 Pro battery life longer? Watching videos and Tiktok for half an hour both consume 5%. Half-hour video recording is 14%. Genshin Impact consumes 12%. It does seem that the battery life has improved a bit with 5000mAh and LTPO 2.0.

OnePlus 10 Pro Review: Verdict

Is the OnePlus 10 Pro a good phone? Yes, it excels in comparison to recently released flagship phones. I even think it’s the best Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 phone to buy right now.

But is it a good OnePlus flagship phone? No, it’s not a qualified successor to the OnePlus 9 Pro. Missing IP68, a weaker ultra-wide camera, and almost the same charging speed as the 9 Pro. Makes me think the 10 Pro really isn’t much of an improvement. Instead, over a hundred dollars cheaper OnePlus 9 Pro seems like a much better choice.

Since OnePlus came back under the OPPO umbrella, “Never Settle” has become “Always Settle”. I miss the days when OnePlus was the flagship killer, at least when I didn’t have to pay more for less. Well, that’s it for our OnePlus 10 Pro review.

What do you think of this year’s OnePlus 10 Pro?

The post Oneplus 10 Pro Full Review: Good, but not a qualified successor appeared first on Gizmochina.

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.

1 of 4

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. 

So I’m wondering whether you guys are interested in their comparison? Or if you have a better model to compare with the OnePlus flagship, just leave your ideas down below. We will take it seriously.

As for its full review, we’re working hard to make sure that you can watch it this weekend. So please remember to click the Subscribe button and stay tuned!

The post OnePlus 10 Pro Unboxing & First Impression: Good looking design but lacks surprises appeared first on Gizmochina.

As the OnePlus 10 Pro design has been revealed, OnePlus has finally reconfirmed the launch event of its highly anticipated OnePlus 10 Pro. It will be happening on January 11th at 2PM CST in China.

As shown in the promotional poster below, the official slogan for the OnePlus 10 Pro is “bringing 10 to the name”, a pun of a Chinese saying, “bringing fame to the name”. 10 is seen as the perfect 10/10 score for many sports such as diving, gymnastics, and 10-pin bowling, and OnePlus is trying to imply that the OnePlus 10 Pro is going to bring perfection to the flagship smartphone space, and will be solidifying the OnePlus brand name in the premium smartphone category.

At the same time, Pete Lau, founder of OnePlus, has also gone to Weibo to share his excitement of the announcement with fellow OnePlus fans as well!

Pete shares that in 2022, the OnePlus brand has been established for 9 years, and the OnePlus community is now spanning across 50 countries with 1.4 million active users worldwide. As once called the “flagship killers” in the industry, he shares that OnePlus wants to challenge itself further, with a truly 10/10 premium flagship, to be worthy to be called a “perfect flagship”.

He mentions that to create a “perfect flagship”, one must follow a 10 point rule, whereby 3 points go into the specs of the product and 7 points go to the finish and polish of the product. He said that this mission has been accomplished with the 10th iteration of the OnePlus flagship, the OnePlus 10 Pro. Despite that, he mentions that the OnePlus 10 Pro will still have the top of the specs within its class, albeit with a more refined finish for OnePlus’ first truly ultra-premium smartphone.

The post OnePlus 10 Pro will be a ‘Perfect Flagship’ with a greater emphasis on refined experience – Pete Lau appeared first on Gizmochina.

Earlier today (4th January 2022), the official launch date for the highly anticipated OnePlus 10 Pro was finally revealed. But prior to its release, a company executive has officially revealed live images of the Pro model in all its glory. So let’s take a look at the upcoming flagship smartphone.

Pete Lau, the Founder of OnePlus, shared multiple images of the OnePlus 10 Pro on his official Weibo account (a Chinese microblogging website). Looking at these images, we can observe that the device will be available in at least a Green and Black variant. But while the color and design seem quite elegant, there is one aspect of the device that stands out, which is its unusually large rear camera module.

At a glance, it appears as if the module alone takes up around a quarter of the entire rear panel. This is definitely an exaggeration, but the large black module does take away from the overall elegant design. Furthermore, it is unclear how tall the camera bump will be on the rear. The Chinese smartphone maker’s official also acknowledges that the reception of the OnePlus 10 series’ design has been mixed, with some loving the radical new design while others even hating the redesign.

Looking at the OnePlus 10 Pro from the rear, it might even seem that the device’s camera is like a modular add on. However, we have to admit that the green model looks quite beautiful and premium, which is arguably even better than the black model. So let us know in the comments section down below how you feel about the OnePlus 10 Pro’s design. Also, stay tuned for more, as we will be covering any leaks and the January 11 launch event as well.

With the OnePlus 10 series launch being just around the corner, a new report has surfaced which hints at one of the variants in the flagship lineup. Apparently, the company will be launching one model within its latest high end series that features the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 SoC.

The news arrives from MySmartPrice and known tipster Yogesh Brar. As of right now, the Chinese smartphone maker has yet to announce the exact launch dates for its upcoming flagship phones, although, it is rumored to first unveil the Pro variant on 11th January 2022 while the vanilla model would launch sometime after. But now, the new tip revealed a key specification of the base variant.

For those unaware, MediaTek had recently unveiled its top end mobile processor for premium handsets. It features a 1+3+4 cluster and is based on a 4nm process, with a maximum clock speed of 3.0GHz on its most powerful core. So while the OnePlus 10 Pro is set to be among the first flagship smartphones to feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset, it appears that the base model will be one of the first to ship with the Dimensity 9000 processor.

Notably, the tipster further added that OnePlus will soon begin testing the new smartphones with its unified operating system with Oppo for the global markets. With both companies merging, the new devices would likely ship with a Android 12 based ColorOS 12 or OxygenOS 12 out of the box. Keep in mind that this is still an unconfirmed report so take it with a pinch of salt and stick around as we will be covering any other leaks or reports regarding this matter.

OnePlus, the smartphone manufacturer which recently merged its operations with OPPO and now acts as its sub-brand is gearing up to launch its next-generation flagship lineup in the form of the OnePlus 10 series.

Today, OnePlus CEO Pete Lau has confirmed through his official Weibo account that the OnePlus 10 Pro flagship smartphone will be announced in January. Although he has not yet revealed the date, reports indicate that it could take place on 5th January.

With the year coming to an end, we get closer to the launch of new 2022 flagship grade smartphones. One of the brands that are set to launch their latest premium handsets is OnePlus. And now, a new leak has revealed certain key specifications of its upcoming flagship 10 series.

The new leaks arrives from known tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo (a Chinese microblogging website). As per the social media post, the Chinese company’s OnePlus 10 Pro will feature a 6.7 inch curved LTPO AMOLED display that supports 120Hz high refresh rate and 2K resolution. The front panel also houses a 32 megapixel punch hole selfie camera on the upper left corner.

On the rear, the device sports a triple camera setup that features a 48 megapixel primary sensor, 50 megapixel ultra wide angle lens, and a 8 megapixel lens that offer 3x optical zoom. Furthermore, the smartphone will feature 80W wired fast charging, while it even supports 50W wireless fast charging as well. The tipster also added that the OnePlus 10 Pro will run on ColorOS 12 custom skin that is based on Android 12 operating system.

Unfortunately, this is all the information that Digital Chat Station shared on his post. Although, we can expect the smartphone to be one of the first devices that features the newly launched Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor. Previous reports had also revealed that the next gen OnePlus flagship featuring 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and up to 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. Under the hood, the device could be powered by around a 5,000mAh battery pack and likely even arrive with IP water/dust resistance rating as well.

The post OnePlus 10 Pro Key Specs leaked, features 120Hz 2K Display, 48MP triple camera, more appeared first on Gizmochina.

OnePlus’ upcoming flagship smartphone, the OnePlus 10 Pro is expected to launch a bit earlier than its usual timeline as the China-based company has skipped or canceled the 9T smartphone this year.

Now, a tipster has shared through a tweet that the OnePlus will be hosting a launch event on 5th January in Las Vegas. This is the same day when the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is set to kick off. This could mean that the company is looking to unveil the OnePlus 10 Pro smartphone at the event.

Currently, it is not known if the company plans to unveil both — OnePlus 10 and 10 Pro or only one device will be made official. If the launch event is being hosted in the US, there’s a possibility that it’s a global debut and not limited to the Chinese market. Earlier, it was being reported that the OnePlus 10 series will be launched in January in China while the global launch will take place in March or April 2022.

The leaked image doesn’t mention OnePlus 10 or 10 Pro smartphones so there’s a possibility that the company has planned to unveil something else instead of its flagship phones. So, we will have to wait for more leaks or official announcements from the brand.

OnePlus doesn’t have a history of launching its smartphones at CES. The only device that the company unveiled at CES was its concept phone in 2020. But given the recent change in its business, the company might be trying a different strategy this time.

It has already been confirmed that the OnePlus 10 Pro will come powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, joining the likes of Moto Edge X30 and Xiaomi 12, both of which are set to launch this month.

If the leaks are to be believed, then the phone will feature a 6.7-inch curved Quad HD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a single punch-hole cutout. It is expected to pack up to 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage.

In the camera department, there will be a Hasselblad-branded triple-camera setup on the back consisting of a 48-megapixel wide sensor, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, and an 8-megapixel telephoto lens. On the front side, the device will have a 32-megapixel front-facing snapper for taking selfies and video calling.

The phone is said to be running the latest Android 12operating system with OxygenOS 12. It will be powered by a 5,000Amh battery with support for 125W fast charging.

OnePlus CEO Pete Lau has confirmed that the company’s next-generation devices will be powered by the flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor. While he did not explicitly mention the OnePlus 10 series as part of the announcement post, it is quite obvious that the company’s upcoming flagship series will be equipped with the same.

Pete Lau then went on to say that OnePlus’ software and hardware development resources are focused on optimizing the Snapdragon processor as much as possible, which should result in a highly optimized software experience.

Unlike its predecessors, the OnePlus 10 series phones will be launched in January, at least in the Chinese market. This will make it one of the very first to feature the flagship Qualcomm chipset. A global launch is expected only in March or April though, in line with previous launches.

As for specs, the OnePlus 10 Pro is expected to feature a 6.7-inch curved Quad HD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a single punch-hole on the left side of the screen. Its flagship chipset will be supported by 8GB or 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 128GB or 256GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage.

In the camera department, the OnePlus 10 Pro will feature a Hasselblad triple-lens setup consisting of a 48-megapixel wide sensor, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, and an 8-megapixel telephoto lens.

The design of the device will likely be going through some big changes this year with the rear camera module getting a significant size boost, renders suggest. The rear cameras will be housed within a squarish module aligned to the left.

With the OnePlus 10 series being the next gen 2022 flagship launch from the company, various rumors and reports have recently surfaced online that reveal details about the upcoming device. But amid all of these rumors, a person has went ahead and built a dummy model for the OnePlus 10 Pro.

The dummy was shared by xleaks7 on Twitter, who also collaborated with Fathom Bracelets to built it. For those unaware, the 10 Pro would be the top end model within the next gen flagship series and is currently expected to launch sometime in later January or even February. But prior to an official announcement, the dummy model that is made from aluminum was shared online.

Notably, the dummy features a design that is in line with our previous reports, with the rear features a square shaped camera module that houses four round cutouts for the rear cameras and the flash. Similarly, the SIM tray slot is still on the bottom with the power button and alert slider being on the right side of the device while the left features the volume rockers. Although, the Chinese smartphone maker has yet to reveal any details related to the OnePlus 10 Pro as of right now, so take this dummy model’s design with a pinch of salt for now.

Earlier today, reports have surfaced of the upcoming OnePlus 10 series smartphones entering the private testing phase.

After weeks of rumors and leaks surfacing regarding the looks and specs of the OnePlus 10 series, the tipster Yogesh Brar reported in an exclusive to 91mobiles that the OnePlus 10 series phones have entered the private testing phase in Europe and China. He further added that the smartphone is expected to launch in late January or early February 2022.

It is worth noting that the OnePlus 9 series was launched in April this year. And if the rumors are to be trusted, the OnePlus 10 will be the fastest follow-up to their previous generation flagship in the brand’s history. This could be accredited to the fact that OnePlus has not released any T-variants of their OnePlus 9 series smartphones, except for the RT variant in China. Another reason for this early launch date could be to compete against the Samsung Galaxy S22 series, which is also rumored to launch in February.

The OnePlus 10 series is expected to feature the upcoming Qualcomm Snapdragon 898 chipset with up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. Earlier leaks have revealed that the camera module on the back panel houses three camera sensors and an LED flash, which are placed in a 2×2 grid.

Furthermore, the OnePlus 10 Pro is expected to sport a 6.7-inch 1440p display offering a 120Hz refresh rate. More leaks are expected to arrive soon, so stay tuned.

The post Report: OnePlus 10 enters private testing, may launch in January 2022 appeared first on Gizmochina.

OnePlus only launched the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro flagship smartphones this year but is now already gearing up to launch the successor to the series in the form of the OnePlus 10/10 Pro. A recent leak had revealed what its back would look like and a reliable leakster has now shown what to expect from its front.

OPPO is expected to unleash the Reno7 series of smartphones later this month, which is said to include three models – Reno7 SE, Reno7, and Reno7 Pro. The Reno series has always been a premium offering and as such has always featured premium designs as well. It was thus unsurprising to see a leaked live image of the OPPO Reno7 Pro’s front that showcased an extremely slim chin.

Leakster Debayan Roy now says that the OnePlus 10 will feature a very similar front.

— Debayan Roy (Gadgetsdata) (@Gadgetsdata) November 11, 2021

As such, the OnePlus 10 will likely come with a punch-hole selfie camera aligned to the left. The punch-hole on the Reno7 Pro is quite tiny and the OnePlus will likely feature the same.

As for the rear of the OnePlus 10, it is unclear for now if it will look just like the Pro variant and thus have a massive camera module with an around-the-edge design. But judging from the fact that the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro look almost identical from the rear, it isn’t out of question.

As for the specifications, the Pro variant of the OnePlus 10 duo is expected to feature a 6.7-inch 1440p display offering a 120Hz refresh rate. It should be powered by the upcoming Qualcomm Snapdragon 898 chipset and is said to pack a 5,000mAh battery with support for Warp Charge technology for fast charging. The vanilla OnePlus 10 will likely feature similar specs, just toned down a bit.

OnePlus is expected to announce the OnePlus 9 RT flagship in the coming month in India and China. It is likely to be the last flagship phone from the brand this year. The OnePlus 10 could be the company’s next-generation flagship from the company. Fresh information reveals that the OnePlus 10 series may not offer a new design.

According to tipster Yogesh Brar, the OnePlus 10 series of smartphones will be arriving as a polished version of the OnePlus 9 series. While it may come with enhanced specs, its design could be similar to the OnePlus 9 series.

OnePlus announced the OnePlus 9, OnePlus 9 Pro, and OnePlus 9R in March this year. There is a possibility that the OnePlus 10 lineup may go official in March next year. The rumor mill is expected to spill some information on its specs in the coming months.

The tipster further mentioned that the company is also working on new Nord branded smartphones. The company is also expected to unleash new accessories through its next launch event, which will be probably held in October.

Recent reports have revealed that the OnePlus 9 RT will offer specs like a 120Hz AMOLED display, Snapdragon 870 chipset, up to 12 GB of LPDDR4x RAM, 256 GB of UFS 3.1 storage, and a 4,500mAh battery with 65W fast charging support. For photography, it may feature a front camera of 16-megapixel and a 50-megapixel (Sony IMX766) main camera on the back.

OnePlus has been going through a lot of changes recently. The company recently merged its business with OPPO and has shifted from its “flagship killer” smartphones to launching flagship phones. It now also has a lineup for budget smartphones under its Nord series.

The Chinese company now seems to be working on a new smartphone that could get launched in the coming months in its home market. An upcoming OnePlus smartphone has appeared in the IMEI database, reports @stufflistings.

The phone carries model number NE2210 where ‘NE’ is the first two letters of the phone’s codename while ’22’ indicates that the phone will be released in the year 2022. The ’10’ in the model number refers to it being a standard model or the China variant.

Currently, there’s no information available about this upcoming smartphone from OnePlus but we expect to know more about this in the coming days. While not yet known, the device is speculated to be the OnePlus 10 smartphone. There’s also a possibility that the phone is a part of the Nord lineup.

If it indeed is the company’s upcoming flagship smartphone, then the device is likely to come powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888+ 5G SoC or the unannounced SM8450 chipset which could be named Qualcomm Snapdragon 898.

OnePlus recently teased the OnePlus 9T smartphone through social media but added a caption “Don’t read too much into it.” While the teaser hints at the possibility of the OnePlus 9T launch pretty soon, the caption casts doubt about it, especially when there are reports claiming that the OnePlus 9T won’t get launched this year.

The OnePlus 9 Pro is the company’s current flagship smartphone that features a 6.7-inch QHD+ LTPO AMOLED display, Snapdragon 888 SoC, 12GB RAM, 256GB storage, Android 11-based OxygenOS, 4,500mAh battery, and 65W Warp Charge support.

Earlier this year, the OnePlus 9 series had been launched as the company’s 2021 flagship lineup. While the company has been known to launch a T series model as well later in the year, a tipster had suggested that there might not be a OnePlus 9T this year. So, we might have to wait for the next gen 10 series that would launch in 2022.

But according to a LetsGoDigital report, graphic designer Jermaine Smit, aka ConceptCreator, didn’t wish to wait and released his own concept of the OnePlus 10 Pro. Smit also uploaded his concept render on his YouTube channel. As per his concept, the high end model will be equipped with a 6.7 inch AMOLED display with 3216x1440px resolution with 120Hz high refresh rate. Keep in mind, this is just a concept and is not the actual specs of the device.

Notably, the concept model even appears to sport an under display camera. Furthermore, we can observe a curved edge display from the sides where the alert slider can also be seen. As per Jermaine, the OnePlus 10 Pro concept arrives with a stylish faux leather finish as well. On the rear, a large circular camera module can be observed with two primary images sensors, with one likely being a wide angle main camera, while the other is the ultra wide angle lens.

Smit’s 10 Pro concept sports a 108 megapixel camera sensor paired with a powerful xenon flash. Interestingly, the ring module was also appears to be inspired by the Hasselblad 500c analog camera from 1957. ConceptCreator also imagines the new flagship with a Bionic Lens. While OnePlus is not known for being a class leader in smartphone photography, its three year contract with Hasselblad is an indicator of its increasing focus in camera performance.
