OnePlus 10 Pro 5G (Volcanic Black, 8GB RAM, 128GB Storage)

This is a review for phone users, not gamers, photographers, whole-day social media people. My usage of phone is for calling, some texting, and occasional videos and photographs. My last phone lasted for more than 5 years and is still working. This is my first OnePlus phone, so I don't know about their previous phone quality. Look and feel: Feels solid in the hand, grip is good with the supplied cover. Battery life: I have been using it for over a week and for me a single charge lasts for more than a day. In fact, recently I did a drive from South India to North India of over 2000kms and the phone was connected over Android Auto for more than 10 hrs each day. The battery lasted well. Heating? I didn't find any major heating issues. Some mild heat, yes. Its similar to if you keep running any machine non-stop, or even if you keep running, your body heats up. Its normal. I am not sure what everyone's expectation is with respect to phone's not heating up. Use it reasonably, it performs very well. Well, if you are always on phone, then probably it would heat up. I don't even use 120hz refresh rate. To a normal human eye, the difference between 60-90-120hz is not perceptible. I keep it at 60, battery lasts long, doesn't heat. Phone is happy, I am happy :) Camera: Decent to nice photographs. Low ligt photography is also pretty good. For serious photography, I have a DSLR and other camera and I trust them more than any phone camera. For occasional clicks, this done a fine job. Gaming: I am not a gamer and have never played any game on any phone so don't have an opinion. Speed/Storage Ultra fast with respect to installing, uninstalling apps. 256GB storage is more than sufficient for my use. My previous phone had 64GB and in 5 years, it never got full. Well, I keep a tight control on what gets installed and downloaded on my phone. I don't let junk accumulate on phone, keeps the phone and battery life long. Sound: Very good sound quality of speakers. Well its a phone and it can do only as much. For more serious viewing, I watch on my TV and home theater. Overall: A fantastic phone at this price point. I couldn't find anything that is bad with the phone. With my usage, it will easily last for more than 4-5 years.

I'm writing this review after using this phone for a month now and I'm glad to say that the experience is great so far. Firstly I'd like to inform you that I got this phone (12gb / 256gb model) for around 50k during Aug'22 sale after exchanging my old OnePlus 5T and other bank offers, so I’d like to assure that there’s no other phone in 50-55k range that comes near OnePlus 10 Pro. What I liked- • Alert Slider – I was waiting for OnePlus 10T but as soon as they announced that it won’t have Alert Slider, I switched my mind to this phone. • Display – This phone has the best display in the above given price range. 2k LTPO display is crisp and best for HDR / OTT viewing. Variable Refresh rate of 1-120hz is smooth & buttery when required. • Camera - I was not able to explore all the camera features but what I liked during my daily routine use is that it fulfills all your expectations of a perfect shot; be it normal random day-light photography, night photography, portraits, etc. This camera pack delivers quite great as its photos are as good as that of Samsung S22+ (sometimes Ultra too) & Iphone 13. What I loved most is the slo-mo video accuracy and focus. • UI / Software – I really liked new Oxygen OS 12 with its new features and bug-free usage. • Sound – Sound quality is good as it supports Dolby Atmos (headphones only) and gives out quite a bang from its 60-40 balance from bottom speaker as well as earpiece. What I don’t like (Scope of improvement)- • Switching from OnePlus 5T to this software definitely took some time to get used to but it gets better and more user-friendly with the upcoming Oxygen OS13. Finally, I’d like to end with a statement that during this upcoming Great Indian Festival Sale, this phone will be best in its range and no-brainer deal if you can get it between 45-50k for 128gb model & 50-55k for 256gb model after exchange & bank offers.

Still in use today after over 2 years of usage and absolutely flawless in its operations although battery backup has reduced a bit! Overall build-quality is good and feels premium enough but I hate the fact that they give glass rear panels on these phones and they are the first ones to break on the phones even with protective back covers. No network drops or any other problems as such. It will continue to work for a couple of more years before needing an upgrade for sure!

I like the 150 Deg photo, as often we take good Wide angle photos with good backgrounds, family photos with large numbers and so on this PRO mode option is really good. Where zoom and Macro are not considered more for my interests. So this is the best choice. 1. 12 Bit Raw photography 2. Has LOG format 3. 8K at 24 fps 4. 4k video at 120fps - Awesome 5. 50MP 150 Deg Ultra Wide 6. PRO Mode option 7. 10-bit color 8. Dual-View Video 9. I liked XPAN mode better than Pano Mode, Its awesome view with 65:24 aspect ratio 10. Best 32 MP front camera, best photos and videos. 11. Better Battery backup than Xiaomi 12 Pro 12. Less Heat while using then Xiaomi or Samsung 13. Not much preloaded apps like Samsung, its very less and required. 14. Horizontal slider for silent/vibration/Sound is good thing, even iPhone vertical button is not that good if we put in pocket it will toggle but that is not case in this here it is sturdy If you are a family person and don't want to carry or purchase multiple lenses for mirrorless cameras and charger and large bag with you every time and if you think that a Mobile camera with good front and back camera option will be sufficient to capture good family movements. Go for it. I bet this is better than Xiaomi 12 Pro and Samsung S22+ in all aspects price, value for money, camera, features, battery, performance all in all winner go for it.

Heats up a lot, in fact boiling, especially when you use GPS based apps like google maps, uber, ola etc. Develops bright lines across the screen giving annoying experience. Projected as best for photo and videography. But in fact, this device can not handle even moderate light, the object looks dull. The video also have interrupted display. Bought for a hefty price of Rs. 70K but not worth even for 15K. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS DEVICE

This is my first flagship phone and i did lot of comparison with other brands and here is my honest review for those who want to buy oneplus device. 1. Oneplus 10pro is better than oneplus 9pro. I waitied for long for the discounted price and icici bank card offer and saw a lot of youtube comparisons between 9pro and 10 pro, and 10pro seemed a better option hands down in all aspects. 2. Compared 10pro with samsung. Comparing with Xiaomi and other BBK brands ( realme, oppo, iqoo, vivo) is useless. And yes as compared to samsung the price is a major factor with similar specs. In my opinion samsung charges more for less. 3. Compared with Google pixel and motorola. Google pixel still has long way to go before it can match the overall feature list as compared to 10pro. Specially the design and internal capacity. Motorola is just a fake brand as per me. The specs on paper are the best but the actual truth is absolutely different. It is like using the cheapest chinese phone with amazing specs on paper. Motorola buyers often end up feeling cheated for the specs on paper if compared with on hand experience. Lastly i found the camera, battery processor, screen, design (premium, specially in black), brightness and android the best of the lot. And yes wireless charging with reverse element. My car has a wiress charging port and now i have a flagship that fits perfectly all my needs I am glad to put 20 mins and write such a review for those who would like an honest review of a user who do not earn from reviewing. Thanks

- Fast charging in 30min 100% charge - Camera quality is good on day lighting - Good for day to day use Bad things - Finger print scanner sometimes doesn't work , need to tap multiple times - Fast battery drain, daily 2 times need to full charge - Camera fails on less light situations - i feel some issue with mobile network connection, because when ever i go to new place i need to keep in ON and OFF flight mode, then only I will get full signal else I will get 1 point signal.. i dnt know whats the issue exactly - Facing Touch screen issue when i press s button on keyboard it will automatically press W,E,D not sure why - I noticed touch not working on Few places on complete screen ,few dead spots are there - If we take 5min video then mobile will reach 40 degrees temperature - I noticed without back cover we can not use mobile , because it is so smooth that can not stay in hand, or in pocket, it drops out 95% of the times, That is not good, they should provide some grip in back

After using cheap phones which costs less than 10k (coolpad, moto, lenovo) i made a big leap and got my first costly phone Oneplus 8 pro around 1.5 years back. It costed me around 47k and i had to plead with my parents even though i was buying with my own savings. It was THE MOST amazing phone i had even used up until then. I used to be a bit embarrassed of my phone at college and work place but now i would leave my phone on the desk so that everyone can look at it ;D. And few days back i was itching to upgrade my phone after looking at all the features of the 10 pro. So i gave my phone to my mother (there was no issues at all woth the phone. Infact i never had to take it to a service centre to get it repaired or no software issue. None). Maybe because i hadnt used costly phones and i wasn't useing it to the full potential. Anyways, after upgrading i just cant stop myself from picking up the phone only to scroll through my apps and settings and again set it down to focus on work. Its an absolute amazing machine and it was a no brainer decision for me to buy this instead of the iphone 12 which i could have got at this price or a few bucks more or less. I dont want to sit next to the outlet charging my phone for an hour or so. The features in this phone are far more useful than those in iphone. But yes i do know iphone has its own benefits. The only thing that bothers me is that though most of the models are made in India, at the end of the day they are chinese brands. And recently the ED has attached crores of funds under the FEMA act and PMLA act for repatriating huge profits which are taxable in India. So somewhere i feel like by buying this phone i am contributing to the loss of tax revenue from my government. I really hope soon there will be an absolute gem of a machine from an Indian brand pretty soon.
