Evaluation: not fairly the proper bundle

Whereas we’re keen on the OnePlus 10T – awarding it 4 stars in our evaluation – it’s not the proper upper-mid-range cellphone.

We praised the ability and charging pace after all, together with the show, however we have been much less impressed by the cameras and battery life, and famous that the cellphone’s massive measurement could make it uncomfortable to make use of when you have small palms.

It additionally faces an entire lot of competitors. OnePlus itself has launched various handsets this 12 months, together with the marginally higher-end OnePlus 10 Professional and the lower-end OnePlus Nord 2T.

After which after all there’s the incoming iPhone 14 line. Whereas the OnePlus 10T arguably isn’t immediately competing with these telephones, it’s price noting that Apple has now confirmed that these handsets will land on September 7, so there’s not lengthy to attend.
