OnePlus 10T hands-on review

Verdict

The OnePlus 10T is a well-rounded premium smartphone. It offers great display quality, powerful performance, and super fast charging speeds. We were also suitably impressed with the performance of the primary camera on the back of the phone.

Since this is not the company's flagship (that honor still belongs to the OnePlus 10 Pro), the OnePlus 10T had to cut some corners. Things like a plastic frame and IP rating have become par for the course for OnePlus phones and the 2MP macro camera should have been left on the chopping block. The removal of the alert slider is also unbecoming of a OnePlus device, no matter the justification offered.

In the end, the OnePlus 10T does little to differentiate itself from its siblings in the Oppo and Realme family, both in terms of hardware and software, and lacks any standout features like the ones we are seeing in the competition. Regardless, it is a well-performing, reliable device that may not be exciting but will get the job done.
