After revealing its new flagship phone last week, OnePlus has finally revealed the OnePlus 10 Pro in China. However, there are still some mysteries left, such as its launch price when it goes on sale in China on January 13 or when it will be available elsewhere. (OnePlus has only said that it will launch globally later in 2022.) But what we do know is that with powerful specs and sharp cameras, the OnePlus 10 Pro is one of the top phones launched in 2022.
These details have revealed that the OnePlus 10 Pro will be powered by the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset and run on the company OxygenOS 12 (based on Android 12), which for the first time includes the "feature-rich" section of Oppo ColorOS.
That still true, and we now know that the phone will pack a Snapdragon X65 modem, which supports more 5G networks, frequencies, and bandwidth along with boosting maximum download speeds to 10Gbps. While you probably won't hit that cap with today carriers, the new X65 should deliver faster and more consistent 5G speeds. The OnePlus 10 Pro will also have up to 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and up to 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage, the same as last year OnePlus 9 Pro.
The 6.7-inch OLED display is the same size as its predecessor. It has a maximum 120Hz refresh rate that makes browsing the Internet or gaming very comfortable, although it can drop the rate as low as 1Hz (or one frame per second) during less demanding tasks to save battery life. The phone comes in two colours: a Seafoam Forest Green and Matte Volcanic Black.
OnePlus has confirmed that its new phone will also inherit last year rear camera setup: a 48-megapixel main camera, an 8-megapixel telephoto camera, and a 50-megapixel ultra wide camera with a maximum 150-degree field of view. The 10 Pro will get a better 32-megapixel camera, which should take sharper pictures than the 16-megapixel selfie camera on its predecessor.
Since the second generation of OnePlus phones have Hasselblad tuned cameras, the OnePlus 10 Pro photo capabilities have been refined somewhat. The first is an improved Pro Mode that takes photos in 12-bit RAW+, a new format that combines the rich data capture of RAW with on device image processing to deliver more accurate colors for shots. When taking more casual photos, all three rear cameras have 10-bit colors for more than 1 billion possible colors.
Hasselblad influence can also be seen in Master Mode, which offers three filters tuned by professional photographers and artists to make shooting fashion, wildlife and urban locations more stylish and unique. For video, the new movie mode lets you change settings like ISO, shutter speed, and white balance while recording for tighter control over focus and lighting.
The 10 Pro 5,000mAh battery is by far the largest on a flagship OnePlus phone, but it's the 80-watt wired charging that will set it apart from the competition. The company claims that it will fully charge the phone from 1% to 100℅ in 32 minutes. OnePlus estimates that the phone also supports wireless charging of up to 50W, which will charge a similarly dead phone in 47 minutes.
The OnePlus 10 Pro appears to be a strong contender among the best phones in 2022, but we'll have to wait until an unspecified date to get pricing and testing.
