We already know all the details of the new OnePlus 10 Pro 5G , the manufacturer’s flagship smartphone for 2022. It is committed to improving its cameras in collaboration with Hasselblad, including a 150º ultra-wide-angle sensor, in addition to promoting fast charging and integrating Android 12 as operating system.
The smartphone starts with a 6.7-inch QHD+ screen with variable refresh rate up to 120 Hz , which adapts the frequency to the use we make at any given time, which also results in lower battery consumption.
At the power level, the OnePlus 10 Pro 5G integrates the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 pointer, Qualcomm’s most powerful chip for early 2022, accompanied by up to 12 GB of RAM depending on the version. Regarding the finishes, Gorilla Glass Victus glass is combined with aluminum.
A key aspect at the photographic level is that the three cameras take photos with 10-bit color , and even have a special 12-bit mode , when many smartphones still work at 8-bit.
The color calibration has been carried out by the photography brand Hasselblad, and in addition to saving the images in RAW, a 12-bit RAW + mode has been incorporated that includes the data from OnePlus’ artificial intelligence retouching for later editing.
These are the three rear cameras of the OnePlus 10 Pro 5G.
- 48 MP main.
- 50 MP ultra wide angle 150º (or 110º with AI distortion correction).
- 8 MP telephoto lens with optical zoom.
A wide angle of 150º generates an excessive “fisheye” effect for many shots, so by default this camera works at 110º , and we will expand the field of view from the settings when we need it.
In OnePlus 10 Pro 5G it integrates a 5,000 mAh battery , a large figure, which supports wired charging at 80 W (32 minutes at 100%) and wireless at 50 W (47 minutes at 100%).
OnePlus 10 Pro 5G, technical sheet
In the OnePlus 10 Pro 5G it offers high-level features , which frame it in the premium range. Let’s see all its technical specifications:
- Screen: 6.7 inches QHD + with adaptive refresh rate 1 Hz – 120 Hz.
- Processor: Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 with 8 cores up to 3 GHz (manufactured at 4nm).
- RAM memory: up to 12 GB LPDDR5.
- Rear camera: 48 MP main + 50 MP ultra wide angle + 8 MP telephoto.
- Front camera: 32 MP.
- Ports and sensors: USB C and fingerprint reader on the screen.
- Battery: 5,000 mAh with 80 W wired and 50 W wireless charging.
- Operating system: Android 12 with OxygenOS 12 customization.
At the software level, we have the recent Android 12 , which in Western markets will come with the OxygenOS 12 customization layer , without too many changes compared to the original Google experience. ColorOS 12 will be installed for the Chinese market, as we remember that OnePlus is now a sub-brand of Oppo.
There will be more OnePlus phones that will update to Android 12, but the OnePlus 10 Pro 5G will bring the latest version from the factory.
OnePlus 10 Pro 5G, date and availability
The OnePlus 10 Pro 5G will be sold in black and green colors, in China it will be launched on January 13, 2022, while for the rest of the world it does not yet have a specific date. The prices are cheaper than expected, at least in yuan, since the conversion to euros usually means an increase due to higher local taxes:
- 8 GB + 128 GB for 4,699 yuan (650 euros to change).
- 8 GB + 256 GB for 4,999 yuan (690 euros to change).
- 12 GB + 256 GB for 5,299 yuan (735 euros to change).
Of course, the new OnePlus 10 Pro 5G is a good high-end option for those looking for a relatively pure version of Android and have discarded the Google Pixel 6. Of course, we will have to be aware of the foreseeable standard OnePlus 10 5G version, which will surely offer better value for money.
