We’ve only heard about the OnePlus 10 Pro. It seems like there won’t be a OnePlus 10 this year, though there are rumors about a OnePlus 10 Ultra later in 2022. OnePlus used to favor fewer phone launches, but it seems that’s changed in the wake of the company’s larger international popularity (such as with the Nord and Nord N series).
Assuming the OnePlus 10 Pro’s price is right, maybe we don’t need a OnePlus 10. It might give the Pixel 6 some competition, but that’s it.
What are you most excited for with the OnePlus 10 Pro? We can’t wait to see the cameras do. Previous smartphone and long-standing camera manufacturer partnerships haven’t amounted to much (Huawei/Leica, Nokia/Zeiss), but last year’s OnePlus 9 Pro certainly showed that OnePlus and Hasselblad might have gotten something right.
Now it’s one year later and we hope that the second generation camera system and software suite can put OnePlus on the map of the latest best camera phones.
We’re just over an hour away from the reveal of the OnePlus 10 Pro. Above you can see the box in the trademark OnePlus red. Based on the size, we expect the 65W charging brick to be included with the phone. (The iPhone 13 and Galaxy S22 come in much slimmer boxes.)
So what about pricing for the OnePlus 10 Pro? As reported by 9to5Google, the German online retailers MediaMarkt recently showed a price tag of €899, which is the same as the OnePlus 9 Pro. However, we’re hoping for a lower price for the U.S., as the OnePlus 10 Pro will be going head to head with the $899 Google Pixel 6 Pro as well as the $999 Galaxy S22 Plus.
We expect OnePlus to focus entirely on the OnePlus 10 Pro today. But just in case OnePlus wants to squeeze more product announcements into this event, there’s always the chance of a follow-up to last year’s OnePlus Watch.
Because we haven’t heard many watch rumors in the buildup to today’s event, we’d guess that we’ll hear about the OnePlus Watch 2 some other time. Still, we’ve got a OnePlus Watch 2 hub that contains all the latest rumors about a future smartwatch from OnePlus.
When it comes to Android phones, the Galaxy S22 Ultra claims the title of best Android phone overall, at least by our reckoning. Will the OnePlus 10 Pro have enough to challenge Samsung’s flagship?
We can’t answer that definitively until we’ve tested the new OnePlus phone. But our global editor in chief Mark Spoonauer has outlined five areas where the OnePlus 10 Pro could challenge the Galaxy S22 Ultra.
OnePlus already tipped its hand a little bit back in January, talking up some of the features you can expect from the OnePlus 10 Pro cameras. We also know the hardware specs. There’s a 48MP main sensor, with 50MP ultrawide and 8MP telephoto cameras joining it. The latter features 3.3x optical zoom. The front-facing camera is 32MP. So we’ll see what kinds of photos the OnePlus 10 Pro can take, but we have high hopes.
With just a few hours to go, we’re super excited to hear more about the OnePlus 10 Pro’s cameras.
The OnePlus-Hasselblad partnership is in its second year, which means we could hear about more major improvements over the OnePlus 9 Pro. We hope that the OnePlus 10 Pro sticks with accurate, natural colors — even Samsung has started to tone down its trademark oversaturation.
What about that display? At 6.7 inches, the OnePlus 10 Pro’s screen is far from small. It’s also QHD and, if it’s anything like the OnePlus 9 Pro, you’ll be able to choose whether you want FHD or QHD resolution. The former setting will help save battery life.
Samsung has set a high bar this year with the Galaxy S22 displays (pictured), so the OnePlus 10 Pro has its work cut out for it. We’ll see how it stacks up in our testing and comparisons, but we expect OnePlus to deliver something great.
One feature touted in January won’t make the U.S. version of the OnePlus 10 Pro. OnePlus has confirmed that the North American OnePlus 10 Pro will not have 80W charging like the rest of the world has; it’ll have 65W instead. This is supposedly because OnePlus’ 80W charging technology isn’t compatible with the North American power standard.
But that 15W difference may not be such a big deal. Charging wattage isn’t linear and getting charging speeds this high hits diminishing returns as you climb. We have yet to see how fast the OnePlus 10 Pro recharges in our lab, but we expect it’ll be plenty fast — certainly faster than the Galaxy S22 Ultra and iPhone 13 Pro Max, which charge at 45W and 30W, respectively.
Good morning, and welcome to Tom’s Guide’s OnePlus 10 Pro event live blog. Things don’t get underway for a good few hours yet, but we’ll use this time to recap everything we know about the new phone, and a few things we don’t.
So bookmark this page and follow the event with us live from 10 a.m. ET/7 a.m. PT./3 p.m. BST.
