This is the new OnePlus 10T. And it's the most generic OnePlus phone of all time. So, while I'm not reviewing this phone, this is my first impressions, I have had it for about a week and a half. But I also was busy winning Club Ultimate Frisbee World Championship for the past eight days in the middle of Ohio with the New York club team, PONY. Anyway, typically, the T phone for OnePlus is just taking whatever their latest and greatest was and giving it a spec bump across the board to just make it a little bit faster in every way. Sort of like what the S used to be for the iPhone. But this isn't a direct sequel. We had the OnePlus 10 Pro in January. Looks pretty similar. But that was 899 when it launched, now it's 799. So just keep this in the back of your head as you're watching this. This isn't a 10T Pro, it's just the 10T. And so it launches at 649. So, on one hand, now, we know, okay, it is a lower price. We know to expect some things to be cut, some shortcuts to be taken to get to this price here. But on the other hand, some of the shortcuts that they took are downright head scratchers to me So the OnePlus 10 Pro from January had the Shapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip and up to 12 gigs of RAM. So this 10T has the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and up to 16 gigs of RAM Great. So there's a spec bump A reason to get this phone Cool And they're nearly the same size, but lest year's phone had a 120Hz display curved pretty dramatically over the edges: This 10T is flat It also has a 1,000Hz touch sample rate and gets a little bit higher It is also adaptive instead of LIPO And it's 1080 instead of 1440 This all makes complete sensa I mean, LIPO, and especially 14400 are sort of reserved for the highest end of phones So at this price, 1080P OLES 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, it's good It's got the fingerprint reader unter the display It's got the hole punch in the top middle No surprise here Design-wise, though, the 10 Pro was a saim soft-touch black that I really liked with dark sath metal ra That was kind of sick, actualy The 101, here, has a new black textured back called Moonstone Block It's got these te dashes or lines throught And then inataad of dark ralis, it has sort of normal, genenc chrome ones for their new 360 antenna system And instead of a camera shelt It's more of a smoothed-out camera slope up to the shelt Which actually, kind of do like, but liked it first on an OPPO phone Chat came out a while ago. So now it feels even more ske another OPPO phone Again, adding to the list of reasons why it feels a bit more gener Then you might also remember OnePlus signed this big three-year deal, S100-plus milion deal with Hasselblad for their cameras, which would let them busow maybe some colar sence or some image processing And the OnePlus 10 Pro was a part of that in January It had the Hasselblad branding on the back and even a Hasselblad-themed camera app Well, less than two years later, this OnePlus TOT doesn't have any Hasselblad stuff anywhere There's no Hasselblad camera app There no Hasselblad branding on the hack of the phone And as far as I can tell, it doesn't appear to use any of that new color science or image processing ther Now in that because the cheaper phone it worthy of the new Hasselblad sauce? Like it not expansive enough to get that? Or is it just because you stop caring about it! I don't really know I guess i feel like if you've already paid for it, you should just put it in all your phones But it's not here And then you might have also noticed that this is the first OnePlus phone over made that doesn't have the alert slides Literally, one of my favorite features of any OnePlus phone that they ve had for yours the three-way volume slider that lets you quickly switch between sound on and vibration and silent, it is now gone from the OnePlus 701. And they gave their reason for it It is now gone from the OnePlus 107: And they gave their reason for You know takes up more space than you would think. Inside the phone "The board has to come across and we save that extra space and give you a little more battery, bef, blah, blah "You can still do that stuff with software I actually beteve you but just think about identity for a second. Can you actually imagine the Phone dropping the mute switch because Apple wants to save some space and printre amething else inside the phone? terally can't picture an iPhone not having a mute switch Sure, you can always do it with software, you But I would bet anyone ST million not now that the next five years of IPhones will all have a mute switch because it's just such a part of the iPhone's design So, a new OnePlus phone coming out and not having an alert slider, it might be kind of minor to some people who have never bought a OnaPlus phone before or never even followed or cared about the OnePlus stuff But to people who have this kind of sad thats not here Just more generic points for this phone The 30 Pro had a standard camera am ultra-wide, and a telephoto. Plus an LED flash with some text in the middle We talked about how that was kind of dumb text, but it was there To no one's surprise, that eats all gone And in true genenc fashion they've moved to a Sony IMX706 sensor for the primary Which is the same one that was in the Nothing Phone: and the Zenfone 9 and the ROG Phone 6, and a bunch of that It also has a 12-megapixeultra-wide camera and a two megapixel macro camera More generic ports Now probably the biggest feature headlining this phone, the one that gets emphasized the most from Oneplus when they sell me about this phone, is the battery So it's a 4,800 mAh dual cell battery, which is slightly smaller than the 10 Prolo 5,000 mAh. Qut it now charges with OPPO's SuperVOCC technology at a crazy fast, a crazy fast, 175 warts It actually comes with the binck in the box which says 160 watts on it but the phone pooks at 125 watts here in the US And that's good for one to 100% rally 20 mmutes It's insane It really truly incredibly convenien Iida olevien all about fast charging pretty recently But with this one, I got it down to 20%, doing some demos, plugged it in for 30 seconds and it got up to 22% And then let it go for another three minutes and it got to 22 So i guess that does fool like OnePlus even though it's OPPO'Y Super VOOC charging they've always emphasized fast charging here But they also didn't put wireless charging in this phone So you get the peace of mind of having fast charging, but you lose the convenience of wireless charging Even more genen points The funny thing is, despite my maappointment I bet this is a perfectly fine phone for a lot of people Decent screen, high-end che, lots of RAM, pretty smooth performance from my tiren impressions, decent cametus. and an Oxygen that's more like Culeros than ever before That's actually what lot of people are looking for at 650 bucks. And hey, it's even getting four years of software updates. And I guess that's the point, which is this phone is more genenc than ever before Which, to me or someone who's familiar with the OnePlus story and the history of the brand and all that is pretty appointing But that also means, by definition that this phone appeals to more people than ever before So this goes right in line with what I talked about in my "What Happened to OnePlus video If you haven't already watcher It ill make it the first link below the like button because you should definitely watch that vide But, yeah, I remember tweeted a couple days ago when we first got some of the specs of this phone that it seems like a new OnePlus phone without an alert aliter, feels like them just completely giving up on their identity And it was funny, so many of the replies were like "Actually, it feels like a couple years ago "When Can Pallaft, that's when they gave up on their identity" And other people were like, 'Actually, no "The OnePlus 7 Pro was the last good phone they ever mode, Then it went downhill" Some people were like, "The CrePlus 3 was the last time they ever made a good phone, "and then every phone since than was just as But at the end of the day, this is just my first impression And the mors of this story, for me, I don't be a fan of the company be a fan of the product The individual product And if you look at this on the market today this phone is fine. Everything about this phone, it's all right nothing too crazy about it. And that's what they're intending to do with the art of remnants of what OnePlus i There's a lot of other good phones out there for the price and I highly encourage checking them out Again, this sort of sweet spot of $600 which is lot to spend on a phone, but also sort of right in the middle now coroidering you have $1,000 flagships. There's a lot of competition there Just reviewed the Zenfone 9 incredible phone for the price And be a lot of comparables. But, hey, when you're familie with OnePlus, this phone in just tacting mans generic than ever before Either way, that's been.
