The OnePlus 10T is a great value phone for the money, offering high performance specifications, a great display and at least one good camera for a very reasonable price. You do have to compromise a little on some areas, but it's still represents a very competitive phone for the cost.

Really speedy and responsive performance, 150W fast charging, Large and vibrant display, More affordable than the 10 Pro

Mid-range camera setup, Not as good as the 10 Pro in most areas

OnePlus has become a mainstay of the Android landscape. The once upstart is now standing toe to toe with the likes of Google and Samsung with the OnePlus 10 Pro. While that covers the high end these days, the company continues to shoot for mid-range perfection with the latest OnePlus 10T .

The OnePlus 10T 5G is a focused design that prioritises performance over other concerns and succeeds in an impressive fashion with the best mobile processor currently available, a ludicrous amount of RAM and decent battery life at a surprisingly modest price.

Fast charging, Vibrant AMOLED display, Excellent primary 50MP camera, Superb performance

Underwhelming ultra wide camera, No wireless charging

As an affordable phone, it doesn’t check all the boxes for everyone, and that’s the whole point of creating specialized devices. It does not have an Alert Slider, and Wireless Charging is not featured.

Excellent performance/price ratio, World-class graphics performance, Extreme fast charging speed, Quality gaming-capable display

Camera system could have been better, OS update might stop with Android 15

So at the top of this review, I stated that the Oneplus 10T doesn’t quite fit into the market anywhere in particular and some of my fellow reviewers have been struggling to find where it fits.

Although the OnePlus 10T was formally introduced on August 3 at a launch event in New York, pre-orders of the smartphone in North America will not be available until September 1, and open sales are expected to follow almost a month later on September 29.

very fast charging + power supply, high performance, fast WLAN, but without 6 GHz, bright OLED panel, long runtimes

no 8K/UHD on the camera, USB 2.0 only, mediocre ultra wide-angle camera, few linear speakers, plastic frame, no IP rating

The OnePlus 10T has some alluring feathers in its cap, those being the great performance that it squeezes from the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset; the reality-defying speed of its 150W fast-charging; and its lush screen, which is particularly well-suited to running demanding video games.

Excellent performance levels, Great screen, Brilliant fast-charging, If you want a powerful smartphone with a great screen then this one delivers on both counts, in style.

Middling camera, Controversial design, No IP rating or wireless charging, If you love taking pictures with your phone then this might not be the best choice, as there are better camera phones for the price

The OnePlus 10T is a good all-round flagship phone with amazing fast charging, solid main camera, and a great flat display for a reasonable price in today’s market – but there’s no alert slider switch, wireless charging or IP rating in most countries, and the company’s Nord 2T has the same cameras...

Great performance, Insanely fast charging, Very good flat 120Hz display

No alert slider, No wireless charging, No IP rating outside US

The “T” phones from OnePlus have always been a bit odd. They always seem to come out just a few months after their recent flagship smartphone. Kind of cannibalizing those sales, but OnePlus also needs something new on the shelves for back to school and the holiday shopping season.

Incredibly fast charging, Charger still included in the box, Brilliant, flat 120Hz display, Extremely competitive price point, Textured back makes it easier to hold onto

No Alert Slider, Big Camera downgrade compared to 10 Pro, No Hasselblad influence, It's not a LTPO display

The OnePlus 10T is a welcome return to form for OnePlus

Solid 10-bit screen, Great battery life/charging, Top of the line haptics

RIP Alert Slider, Macro camera is weird, feels plasticky
