Following up on the OnePlus 10 Pro, OnePlus is reportedly working on a OnePlus 10T phone. It’s expected to be more affordable than the OnePlus 10 Pro and would be the company’s first flagship “T” handset since the OnePlus 8T. News around a OnePlus 10T keeps growing, with the phone said to be launching in a month or two. Here’s everything we know so far.
Design
OnePlus has settled on a very distinctive design with the OnePlus 10-series, and the 10T looks to be derivative of that. Renders showing off the phone came from leaker OnLeaks, showing a device that looks a lot like a 10 Pro with a few changes. As you can see from the photo above, the OnePlus 10T is your typical big slab smartphone with a full-screen display interrupted only by a hole punch.
A distinctive camera bump at the rear promises substantial photography credentials. It looks a little more like an Oppo phone than previous OnePlus iterations, and the absence of an alert slider just rubs that in. It’s said to come in black, white, and green colors. And the black variant could be called Moonstone Black.
Yeah, the black variant looks great but that green shade definitely awesome🤩

– The way the bump merge with the frame
– Flash location
– Alert-slider
– Curved VS Flat screen
– Metal VS Plastic frame

Cameras
In regards to cameras, the OnePlus 10T may have a 50-megapixel main camera with an 8MP ultrawide lens and a 2MP macro shooter. While OnePlus sometimes struggles with its camera prowess, the company really doubled down on its camera ambitions with the OnePlus 10 Pro. We found the 10 Pro to have a reasonably good camera system, partly thanks to the tuning by Hasselblad.
The problem here is that it’s not quite certain the OnePlus 10T will have a Hasselblad-tuned camera. T-branded phones are sometimes lesser versions of their non-T models, and the camera is one place where corners are cut to keep costs scant. We can look to the OnePlus Nord 2 or 8T for what OnePlus can accomplish on its own. They’re capable camera phones, though they lack the refinement offered by OnePlus devices with the Hasselblad marker.
Specs
Alongside the OnePlus 10T renders, the specs of the upcoming phone were shared as well. The OnePlus 10T is expected to have a 6.7-inch Full HD display. As per a subsequently removed Amazon UK listing, it will have a 120Hz refresh rate, which is likely to be dynamic so it changes from 1Hz to 120Hz depending on the state of the screen.
The OnePlus 10T will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 SoC combined with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, details that have previously leaked and also appeared in a short-lived Amazon U.K. page listing the phone. A 4,800mAh battery and the company’s touted 150W super-fast charging should keep it chugging along — making it faster than the 65W charging offered by the OnePlus 10 Pro in the U.S. Unlike the recent flagship smartphones, the OnePlus 10T is said to come with a charger in the box.
Price and release date
OnePlus is expected to launch the 10T with a price of 799 British pounds in the U.K., which converts over to $915, according to a listing on Amazon’s U.K. site captured before it was hurriedly removed. This is higher than a previous leak, which quoted a price of 3,000 to 4,000 Chinese yuan, which translates to between $450 and $600.
It’s not known where OnePlus will launch the OnePlus 10T when it’s released. OnePlus sells phones globally, but does release devices specific to certain regions, including in the U.S. and India. Look out for the OnePlus 10T’s release during the summer.
What about the OnePlus 10?
Even with the similarity, it does not mean that OnePlus plans to drop the 10 or merge both into one. The company is no stranger to launching very similar phones. The OnePlus 8T and 9R were the same phone with a few tweaks, so there is still space for both to launch — albeit targeted at different markets.
