Tons of rumors and official details have finally led to the launch of the OnePlus 10 Pro in China, which is the company’s latest flagship and one of the first Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 phones available in the market. The OnePlus 10 Pro succeeds last year’s OnePlus 9 Pro and features an impressive set of design and hardware upgrades. Here’s a look at all of the new features and specs of OnePlus’ latest flagship.
Let’s start with the design. The new OnePlus 10 Pro, as revealed previously, moves away from the vertical rear camera bumps to include a huge square one that looks a lot like the one on the Galaxy S21 Ultra. The camera bump houses three cameras that have a 3D ceramic lens cover. The back panel sports the third-gen silk glass tech, which should help keep fingerprints and smudges away from your smartphone. Upfront, there’s a center-placed punch-hole screen.
As confirmed earlier, the OnePlus 10 Pro is powered by the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform from Qualcomm. It will take on the Xiaomi 12 series, the Realme GT 2 Pro, the Moto Edge X30, and other flagship smartphones in the market in 2022.
The Hasselblad partnership leads to support for features such as 12-bit RAW photos with the help of the second-gen Hasselblad Pro mode. The phone gets improved natural color calibration (launched with the OnePlus 9 Pro), a Fisheye mode (same as the iQOO 9 and Realme GT 2 Pro), and the OnePlus Billion Color Solution for 10-bit color photography. It will also support 8K videos and 4K videos at 120fps, and the Movie mode to adjust the shutter speed, ISO, and more during or before video capturing and the LOG format for easy editing, better dynamic range, and more.
The OnePlus 10 Pro comes in three RAM+storage configurations and will go on sale in China, starting January 13. Here are the prices:
OnePlus has also introduced the OnePlus Buds Pro Mithril Special Edition with a unique high-bright metal texture and smart dual device feature for easy pairing with a phone and a computer. You also have the ability to switch between the two devices with ease. Other features remain the same as the original OnePlus Buds Pro. The new version is priced at CNY 799 (around Rs 9,200) and will be up for grabs in China, starting today at CNY 699 (around Rs 8,100).
The company, however, hasn’t launched the vanilla OnePlus 10, and it remains to be seen that happens. Plus, there’s no word on when the new OnePlus 10 Pro will reach the Indian shores. We will keep you posted once we get details on this!
