When you hear the term mid-priced phone, you probably think of older or slower components in a phone that is just decent. Not so with the OnePlus 10T – for the most part.

Design and hardware

The phone measures 6.4 inches by 2.96in by 0.34in (16cm x 7.5cm x 0.8cm) and it weighs just 203 grams (7.17 ounces). Unlocking options include an in-screen fingerprint reader and facial recognition.

Other top features include a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a dynamic refresh rate up to 120 Hertz, which means the screen can refresh itself up to 120 times per second, making motion look very smooth and clear. The screen has a resolution of 2,412 x 1,080 pixels for a pixel density of 394 pixels per inch. The graphics chipset is the Adreno 730.

It is sporting the latest and fastest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen1 processor with a new cooling system to keep the phone running at top speed.

The 10T comes in two configurations, with 8 gigabytes of RAM and 128 gigabytes of storage (US$649) or with 16 gigabytes of RAM and 256 gigabytes of storage (US$799).

Software and features

The handset runs the Android 12 operating system as well as OnePlus’ Oxygen 12.1 overlay. Oxygen is OnePlus’ software that tweaks the stock Android interface. Android 13 and Oxygen 13 are coming later this year.
