The launch of the OnePlus 10 Pro 5G was a bit completely different this yr for a few causes. It was launched in China in the beginning of 2022 and is just now coming to different nations, together with India. Secondly, we now have solely a single mannequin within the new 10 collection thus far, in comparison with the three fashions that debuted with the 9 collection in India final yr. I am fairly certain a lower-priced OnePlus 10 and OnePlus 10R are within the works for someday later this yr, however for now our focus is just on the flagship mannequin.

The OnePlus 10 Professional 5G picks up the place the OnePlus 9 Pro (Review) left off and incorporates many modifications which, on paper, ought to make it a greater flagship. Essentially the most notable ones to me are the brand new design, improved selfie digital camera, and bigger battery with faster charging. The OnePlus 10 Professional 5G competes with the Samsung Galaxy S22 (Review) and iQoo 9 Pro (Review) from this yr, and even the iPhone 13 (Review) and Vivo X70 Pro+ (Review) from final yr. It is time to discover out if the brand new OnePlus 10 Professional 5G is definitely pretty much as good because it seems.

OnePlus 10 Professional 5G value in India

First, the costs in India. The OnePlus 10 Professional 5G is obtainable beginning with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, priced at Rs. 66,999. There’s additionally a top-end variant with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage that is priced at Rs. 71,999. The ten Professional 5G prices about Rs. 2,000 greater than the OnePlus 9 Professional did when it launched. Will probably be obtainable in two colors in India: Volcanic Black and Emerald Forest.

OnePlus 10 Professional 5G design

The OnePlus 10 Professional 5G’s design did appeal to some criticism initially because the form and structure of the digital camera module make it appear like a kitchen hob. I feel it seems very distinctive and a lot better than the 9 Professional’s digital camera module. A little bit of inspiration appears to have been taken from Samsung’s latest flagships, on which the digital camera module merges with the aspect body. I just like the inexperienced shade that OnePlus has used, and the truth that each the color choices have a matte glass texture is an effective design selection in my e-book. This inexperienced color and end jogged my memory a variety of the OnePlus 8 Pro (Review), which I feel continues to be top-of-the-line designed OnePlus smartphones.

The aluminium body has an analogous shade of inexperienced because the again of the cellphone, however with a shiny end. The alert slider on the precise aspect is now a bit larger up than it must be, doubtlessly making it arduous to achieve in case you have smaller arms. OnePlus has used Corning Gorilla Glass 5 on the again, Gorilla Glass Victus for the show, and a ceramic coating over the digital camera module, which ought to hold this cellphone comparatively scratch-free even for those who do not use a case.

The OnePlus 10 Professional 5G is slimmer than its predecessor (8.55mm) but it surely’s heavier at 201g.

Two notable enhancements to the show are using a second-gen LTPO AMOLED panel which might decrease its refresh fee to 1Hz (down from 10Hz beforehand), and a greater positioned in-display fingerprint sensor which is less complicated to achieve and use. The show continues to be curved on the sides, giving this cellphone a hanging look, but it surely’s not essentially the most sensible of designs for one-handed use.

I am glad OnePlus has stayed away from the pattern of lean smartphone packaging. The ten Professional 5G comes with every thing you may want, together with a colour-matched case, an 80W quick charger, a USB Sort-C cable, and different issues akin to a SIM eject device, stickers, and so forth.

OnePlus 10 Professional 5G efficiency and battery life

The OnePlus 10 Professional 5G is a big and barely heavy cellphone, which might take some getting used to. If you happen to already use a big cellphone, switching to the ten Professional 5G must be simple sufficient. The end of the cellphone’s physique might be slippery, which is the place the bundled case turns out to be useful. It would not diminish the look an excessive amount of and provides excellent grip and safety. The in-display fingerprint sensor is responsive and by no means did not unlock the cellphone when wanted.

The show of the OnePlus 10 Professional 5G delivered wonderful colors and sharpness for viewing content material.

The OnePlus 10 Professional 5G carried out nicely in benchmarks, as you’d count on. It scored 8,31,613 factors in AnTuTu and maxed out the 3DMark Slingshot check suites.

Efficiency by no means actually skipped a beat on the OnePlus 10 Professional 5G when working menial duties and utilizing primary apps. The cellphone additionally ran cool for essentially the most half. Nevertheless, video games tended to emphasize it fairly a bit particularly if I used to be enjoying high-end, multiplayer titles. Fortnite, for example, ran nicely on the ‘Epic’ graphics preset however this recreation additionally precipitated the ten Professional 5G to get actually scorching. I felt the warmth on my fingers after a couple of minutes of gaming, particularly once I was holding the cellphone with out a case. Regardless of this, in-game efficiency was regular and gameplay did not endure. I did like how shortly the physique of the cellphone cooled down after switching to a much less demanding app or recreation. If you happen to use a case on this cellphone, you most likely will not discover the warmth.

Recording high-res video on a scorching day might be problematic for the OnePlus 10 Professional 5G

 

Nevertheless, warmth from the cellphone did hamper usability when capturing video in heat to scorching climate situations. I encountered a number of overheating warnings when recording 4K video clips outside in the course of the day, however did not have the identical points when capturing indoors or at evening. If video recording was already in progress and the OnePlus 10 Professional 5G overheated, it might proceed recording however in a low energy state with decreased display brightness. I used to be capable of seize photographs within the overheated state however needed to watch for the cellphone to chill down as a way to begin recording a brand new video.

Battery life was excellent in the course of the assessment interval. As I discussed earlier, I largely examined this cellphone with the show decision set to Auto and refresh fee left on the default 120Hz. With blended utilization, which concerned a variety of video watching amounting to round six hours of screen-on time, and an energetic SIM within the cellphone, the ten Professional 5G’s battery stage solely went right down to 25 p.c on the finish of the day. If you happen to drive the show decision to QHD+ and recreation closely, you would possibly get much less runtime, however most customers must be pleased with this battery life. The cellphone ran for almost 19 hours in our HD video loop check, which was a very good time.

Charging the cellphone would not take too lengthy. With the bundled charger, I used to be capable of cost the OnePlus 10 Professional 5G as much as 96 p.c in simply half an hour, which is extremely fast. The cellphone additionally helps different quick charging requirements under 80W. For example, it charged at 65W once I related it to a OnePlus Warp Cost 65T charger, and 33W when utilizing a lower-spec Sort-C cable with the 80W charger.

The OnePlus 10 Professional 5G has a brand new ultra-wide digital camera with a 150-degree discipline of view

 

The ultra-wide digital camera nonetheless has a 50-megapixel decision but it surely’s primarily based on a Samsung ISOCELL JN1 sensor. It is a smaller sensor than the superb Sony IMX766 sensor within the 9 Professional, with smaller pixels, and on paper this can be a downgrade. It additionally lacks autofocus, which implies there is not any macro mode for the ten Professional 5G. The one good factor is its 150-degree discipline of view, which helps you to take some interesting-looking photographs.

Let’s start with the ultra-wide digital camera’s efficiency on the OnePlus 10 Professional 5G. Daytime photographs had good element and pleasing colors, and HDR was all the time dealt with very nicely. Photographs usually had a cooler tone in comparison with the identical photographs taken with the primary digital camera, and weren’t all the time correct to the precise scene. The default discipline of view is 110 levels, however you may swap to the 150-degree mode, which crams a lot extra of the scene into the body. I fairly loved utilizing this mode, however did not care a lot for the fish-eye filter. The ultra-wide digital camera on the ten Professional 5G cannot shoot macros just like the one on the 9 Professional can. Low-light efficiency was above common. Noise was suppressed nicely and there was a good stage of element within the photograph.

The standard distinction between the OnePlus 10 Professional 5G and 9 Professional’s ultra-wide cameras is noticeable, for those who look shut sufficient

 

In comparison with the OnePlus 9 Professional’s ultra-wide digital camera, the ten Professional 5G’s equal digital camera captured poorer element, which was slightly disappointing.

The ten Professional 5G ought to have not less than maintained the standard commonplace set by its predecessor, if not increase it, but it surely would not.

The selfie digital camera is a pleasant enchancment over the earlier technology. Particulars are excellent and colors regarded pure.

I might have preferred photographs to be pixel-binned, and never saved on the full 32-megapixel decision, as file sizes have been fairly giant. Selfies taken in low mild have been additionally excellent, and Night time mode is obtainable too.

Talking of the telephoto digital camera, the OnePlus 10 Professional 5G captured sharp and extremely detailed photographs on the native 3.3X zoom stage. Photographs regarded good until about 10X zoom, however particulars deteriorated fairly shortly past that.

8K movies recorded with the OnePlus 10 Professional 5G regarded sharp, with good colors, and have been even stabilised. Movies shot in low mild at 8K additionally regarded good, however digital stabilisation precipitated some gentle jitter. 4K movies shot in the course of the day regarded spectacular, with excellent colors and stabilisation. If you happen to’re capturing at 30fps, you may swap to the ultra-wide digital camera whereas recording, however any magnification past 1X will probably be digital. You may need to drop to 1080p if you wish to use the telephoto digital camera for video, and the utmost magnification for video in both case is 10X. 4K movies shot in low mild regarded a lot better than 8K ones.

Verdict

The OnePlus 10 Pro 5G has some much-needed upgrades over the 9 Pro, and with only a average bump in pricing, it isn’t a foul deal. Even the top-end variant of the ten Professional 5G is cheaper than the bottom fashions of the Samsung Galaxy S22 and iPhone 13, making it good worth. In comparison with the OnePlus 9 Professional, the ten Professional 5G provides a much bigger battery with faster charging, a barely extra power-efficient AMOLED show, a extra highly effective SoC with a lot extra 5G bands, a greater selfie digital camera, and a nicer design.

The iQoo 9 Pro might be the OnePlus 10 Professional 5G’s largest competitor. Not solely is it comparable by way of pricing but it surely additionally almost matches the ten Professional 5G by way of options. The Realme GT 2 Pro can be simply across the nook, and going by what we already learn about this cellphone, it may show to be an actual disruptor if Realme is aggressive with pricing.

There are a few issues you have to be conscious of earlier than you lock your resolution in regards to the OnePlus 10 Professional 5G. Identical to the 9 Professional, this new mannequin is susceptible to overheating when utilizing the digital camera app in heat situations, not less than with the launch firmware. I’m a bit disenchanted by the ultra-wide digital camera of the ten Professional 5G too, as it will probably’t be used to take macros and the photographs it captures aren’t as detailed as what the 9 Professional managed.

Apart from these little issues, the ten Professional 5G is yet one more strong flagship from OnePlus, and delivers excellent efficiency and options for the value.
