OnePlus 10T review

No Hasselblad tuning for the OnePlus 10T – but does that hold its 50MP camera back from greatness?

Digital Camera World Verdict

The OnePlus 10T misses out on Hasselblad co-branding, but thanks to a strong 50MP Sony IMX766-powered camera, its photos still look good, and its lower price than the 10 Pro makes it relatively easy to digest. The unremarkable ultra-wide and macro cameras, and the lack of a telephoto camera don't do it any favors. Neither does the lack of wireless charging. Still, with lightning-fast wired charging and the latest processing power, anyone who needs speed will get exactly that with the 10T.

    Great primary camera

Like fine wine and Edna Turnblad, the OnePlus 10 Pro's camera just gets better with age (thanks to software updates), so why has OnePlus switched up the tried and tested setup for the 10T – the brand's latest flagship? 

The OnePlus 10T isn't a 10 Pro successor. It's more like a less fancy sibling – a reimagined mashup of the OnePlus 10 Pro, Oppo Find X5 Pro, and the Realme GT Neo 3. It's a fair bit cheaper than the 10 Pro too, starting at $649 / £629.
