OnePlus unveils OnePlus 10T in New York, bringing 150W charging to range – but losing the mute/alert switch
OnePlus has launched the OnePlus 10T, which will go on sale with pricing starting at £629, although early customers pre-ordering can benefit from a range of discounts on accessories, or earn money from trading in their old device.
The OnePlus 10T is OnePlus’ second flagship device released in 2022, and while it sits below the OnePlus 10 Pro the time that has passed since that was released has enabled OnePlus to include a few new features – such as the 150W fast-charging tech (as already present on the Realme GT Neo 3), and Qualcomm’s newest Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC.
While £629 will get you a 12GB RAM + 128GB storage model, the top-of-the-range model comes with 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.
The 150W charger, supplied in the box, gets the phone’s 4,800mAh battery from 0-100% charge in just 19 minutes, while the primary camera is the same excellent Sony IMX766 sensor used on many other flagships from OnePlus, Oppo, and Realme.
The phone is a rebadge of existing models released under other BBK Electronics brands, which means there’s no mute switch on this phone – a rather controversial move but one that might be replicated on future releases as more hardware is shared. Nor is this handset co-branded with Hasselblad.
The company will still produce its own Oxygen OS software, and will be offering an early upgrade to Android 13 on the OnePlus 10T, as well as previous models going back to the OnePlus 8.
UPDATE: This story was edited to note a price reduction made on the two models just a couple of hours before the event took place.
Super-Fast Charging
With support for 150W SUPERVOOC Endurance Edition, the OnePlus 10T allows you to spend less time tethered to an outlet and more time using the device the way you want to. 150W SUPERVOOC Endurance Edition delivers up to a day’s power after just 10 minutes of charging, with a full charge – from 1-100% – taking only 19 minutes.
The OnePlus 10T’s charging system is made safe and efficient by a series of technologies, like the Battery Health Engine that extends the lifespan, and preserves the capacity of, the OnePlus 10T’s large 4,800 mAh battery. The OnePlus 10T’s charging system boasts two charging pumps, instead of one on many other smartphones, to deliver faster charging speeds with greater safety, improved efficiency, and reduced heat.
Stronger Connectivity
A total of 15 antennas form the OnePlus 10T’s 360∞ antenna system that provides you with stronger Wi-Fi and cellular signals, no matter which orientation you are using the device. A feature called Smart Link works in tandem with the OnePlus 10T’s antenna system to improve upload signals and speed, particularly in areas with high levels of network congestion.
Burdenless Design
The OnePlus 10T advances OnePlus’ burdenless design philosophy with a unibody build – that offers an excellent in-hand feel – and beautiful Moonstone Black and Jade Green colorways.
A 6.7 inch display covers the front of the OnePlus 10T and provides an exceptional viewing and user experience with an adaptive 120 Hz refresh rate that also helps to better preserve battery life so you can use the device for longer on a charge. The OnePlus 10T’s display is HDR10+ certified and has native support for 10-bit color for a richer and more realistic viewing experience.
Triple Camera System
The OnePlus 10T comes with a triple camera system on its rear headlined by the 50 MP Sony IMX766 sensor with optical image stabilization (OIS), Nightscape 2.0, and improved HDR performance so you can take beautiful shots in bright and low-light conditions.
Accompanying the OnePlus 10T’s main camera is an ultra-wide camera and macro camera, allowing you to capture more in every scene and get up close to subjects, respectively.
OxygenOS 12.1
The OnePlus 10T comes pre-installed with OxygenOS 12.1 based on Android 12 and will receive three major Android updates and four years of security updates.
OxygenOS 13
OxygenOS 13 delivers OnePlus’ signature fast and smooth software experience with a stellar Aquamorphic design, enhanced safety, and by taking some of the OnePlus community’s most adored features even further. The latest version of OxygenOS brings an upgraded experience across the board – including improved customization, gaming, and connectivity.
OxygenOS 13 will launch first on the OnePlus 10 Pro, followed by the OnePlus 10T later this year. Other OnePlus devices that will receive OxygenOS 13 include the OnePlus 8, OnePlus 8 Pro, OnePlus 8T, OnePlus 9, OnePlus 9 Pro, OnePlus 9R, OnePlus 9RT, OnePlus 10R, OnePlus Nord 2, OnePlus Nord 2T, OnePlus Nord CE, OnePlus Nord CE 2, and the OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite.
