OnePlus 10T vs OnePlus 10 Pro comparison: price, specs, design and more

The 2022 OnePlus smartphone lineup is fragmented and confusing. Without a vanilla model, the company debuted the OnePlus 10 Pro at the beginning of the year before announcing the 9RT a little while later. After releasing the 10R with a MediaTek Dimenisty CPU, the company subsequently returned to the market with the OnePlus 10T, which uses Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC. The ‘Pro’ model still appears to be the better product on paper, but the ‘T’ model promises to provide a more equally balanced overall experience. Which should you purchase, then? Let’s explore what the two flagships have to offer in more detail in our OnePlus 10T vs OnePlus 10 Pro comparison.

Design

In terms of design and feel, both phones are pretty modern and sport the same design language. The OnePlus 10T borrows design aspects from its older sibling, the OnePlus 10 Pro. From the rear camera island to the curved back, the phone now has a flat panel on the front. Since there is a distinction between the two phones, OnePlus has undoubtedly cut corners by opting for an all-plastic design, which they claim is due to the phone’s 360-degree antenna. The classic Alert Slider, the company’s switch to change between Ring, Silent, and Vibrate, has also been abandoned in favour of a bigger battery. The phone also lacks wireless charging and a headphone jack, but it does include an in-display fingerprint scanner.

With the ‘Pro’ model, the company’s flagship offering, OnePlus has made no compromises. On the front and rear, respectively, are Gorilla Glass Victus and curved, textured Gorilla Glass. The camera island, which includes the triple camera system and the LED flash, is crafted out of ceramic, while the frame is carved out of metal. The phone has a great overall feel and feels sturdy in the hand. The 10 Pro also gains the Alert slider which has been booted out from the 10T.

Processor, RAM, and Storage

The Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC, Qualcomm’s most recent flagship processor, powers the OnePlus 10T. When compared to the previous generation chip, this new chip promises to produce superior thermal performance and boost overall efficiency by 30 percent. The phone is available in three memory configurations: 8GB LPDDR5 RAM and 128GB UFS3.1 storage, 12GB RAM and 256GB storage, and the most expensive 16GB RAM and 256GB storage.

The OnePlus 10 Pro, in contrast, comes in two RAM variants and is also powered by the Qualcomm snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC. The phone is available in two memory configurations: 8GB LPDDR5 RAM and 128GB UFS3.1 storage, & the top-end 12GB RAM and 256GB storage model.

Display

The display is where both phones differ. The OnePlus 10T is using a 6.7-inch E4 10-bit AMOLED display with a Full HD+ resolution. OnePlus refers to this panel as ‘Fluid Display,’ which means that the panel can dynamically switch between 60, 90, and 120Hz refresh rates. This screen is the same as the one used in the OnePlus 10R and is HDR10+ certified.

The OnePlus 10 Pro, on the other hand, has a 6.7-inch E5 10-bit LTPO AMOLED panel with Quad HD+ resolution. The panel used here can also dynamically switch from 10Hz all the way to 120Hz refresh rates and gets HDR support on the major OTT apps. Compared to the 10T, the panel used here is leaps ahead.

Camera

On the back, the OnePlus 10T features a triple camera setup. OnePlus has used the same camera setup in its mid-range products. The sensor is a 50MP Sony IMX766 with an f/18 aperture, OIS, and EIS capability, as well as an 8MP ultrawide angle lens and a 2MP macro sensor with a dual-LED flash. A 16MP camera on the phone is in charge of selfies.

On the other hand, the OnePlus 10 Pro boasts a more diversified camera setup. The back camera setup consists of a 48MP Sony sensor with OIS and EIS capabilities, a 50MP Samsung JN1 ultrawide angle lens, and an 8MP telephoto camera with a dual-LED flash. Here, the selfie camera has been upgraded to 32MP. The Hasselblad partnership, as well as the software and hardware improvements it brings to the table, allow the OnePlus 10 Pro to seize the lead in the photography space.

Connectivity

In terms of connectivity, the OnePlus 10T comes with dual-band 4G and 5G support, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.3, GPS, and USB Type-C for data transfer. The highlight here is the support for 11 5G bands for Global connectivity and the 360-degree antenna for better connectivity.

Coming to the OnePlus 10 Pro, the phone comes with dual-band 4G and 5G support, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC, GPS, and USB Type-C for data transfer. However, the phone skimps on additional 5G bands and gets support for just 8 bands in total.
Both phones lose out on a 3.5mm audio jack but gain an in-display fingerprint sensor.

Battery

The OnePlus 10T has a slightly smaller battery than the OnePlus 10 Pro. The phone has a 4,800mAh battery with 150W SuperVooC rapid charging support. On the other hand, the OnePlus 10 Pro, comes with a 5,000mAh battery that supports 80W SuperVooC rapid charging and 50W AirVooC wireless charging support.
