OnePlus 10R 5G (150W) Price in India
OnePlus 10R 5G is available in two models- 80W or 150W charging. The 80W model has two variants with an 8GB RAM and 128GB storage, the price of Rs 38,999. The second comes with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage, which costs Rs 42,999. Its 150W Enduration Edition is priced at Rs 43,999 and is in 256GB storage with 12GB RAM. The 150W charging model has a 4,500mAh battery, while the 80W model has a 5,000mAh battery.
In my perspective, it would be better to take its endures edition, rather than taking a regular model of 12GB. OnePlus 10R 5G (150W) comes only in Seira Black Finnish, in which you do not get the option of Forest Green which is available in the regular model.
OnePlus 10R 5G (150W) Design
OnePlus 10R is similar to its regular model in appearance appearing 5G (150W). Their weight is also 186 grams. It is a very lightweight mid premium range smartphone, as it has a polycarbonate frame and back panel. Wireless charging has not been given in this series of the company, as is seen in other smartphones of this segment. One reason for the thin 8.2mm size of the phone is the absence of wireless charging. The phone has not been given any official IP rating. Some smartphones like- Samsung Galaxy S20 Fe 5G (Review) and Apple iPhone SE (2022) This feature is found in (review).
The design of the phone is designed keeping in mind the smartphones of today. Its side flats are in the straight line and edge are sharp. It is quite unique and looks different from other handsets of the company. Earlier in 2015, OnePlus X was the only smartphone that looked very different from the company’s lineup.
OnePlus 10R 5G (150W) has a matte finish in the back panel just like a frame, but its left half has a pinstripe pattern that can be seen from glasses of rear camera module. The back panels and frames do not have fingerprints at all, but its camera module draws dust and spots very quickly and becomes dirty in a few minutes of use. It is also not easy to clean it.
The phone is unique in appearance, due to the edges of the frame, it is very comfortable to hold in hand. It is quite light due to the use of polycarbonate but misses a premium feel. A metal frame was given in both OnePlus 9R and 9RT and came with glass back. The 10R 5G display has Corning Gorilla Glass 5 placed and fingers on it are very quickly. Apart from this, an alert slider is also not available in the phone, so that sound profiles can be replaced. This is the signature feature of every premium OnePlus smartphone.
OnePlus logo has been given in the bottom right corner in the back panel of the phone. This is the only design element that can see a OnePlus fan by adding himself. Apart from this, the rest of the phone’s design has been separated from previous smartphones.
OnePlus 10R 5G (150W) Specifications and Software
OnePlus 10R 5G (150W) has a regular model as soon as the specifications are given. There is only a difference of battery capacity and charging speed. Both models have MediaTek Dimensity 8100-Max chipset. OnePlus Nord 2 Like the Dimensity 1200-II SoC, this time also the company has customized some algorithms in OnePlus 10R 5G, for which it has been called ‘Max’. According to the company, Dimensity 8100-Max SoC can give better AI performance, stable gaming and better nitscape video performance. For connectivity, it has a Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC and general satellite navigation system.
This OnePlus smartphone runs on Oxygenos 12.1 based on Android 12. It has all the OnePlus elements like Shelf, Canvas Lockscreen, OnePlus Sans Font etc. Realme Gt Neo 3 Looks like a realmeui given in. This is due to the decision to mix the new manment structure of the OnePlus and its oxygenos with Coloros. Realmeui is also the derivatives of coloros due to which it shows this equality.
The themeing engine of Oxygenos 12.1 works as expected and mixes the system, widgets and accent colors of the keyboard with the wallpaper selected. New and useful Android 12 widgets such as conversion, screen time etc. can be pinned on the home screen. OnePlus Shelf feature was getting activated several times while pulling the notification tray, I found this attention to distract, so I disabled it.
The best thing about the phone is that it has out of the box, only two prehstold apps. Both, netflix and spotify are useful, but can also be removed if not needed. However, it also consists of many OnePlus branded apps such as clone phones, community, recorders and zen mode which cannot be removed. Overall, it can be said that oxygenos is quite clean and easy to use.
OnePlus 10R 5G (150W) Performance and Battery Life
OnePlus 10R 5G (150W) software performance was smooth in regular use. I did not find any lag while opening apps and while doing multitasking. Its 6.7 -inch Fluid AMOLED panel has a 120Hz refresh rate. Colors are visible Panchi and the display can be easily read in the direct sunlight. Streaming a movie on OnePlus 10R 5G was a good experience but when I tested it, I could not do HDR streaming on Netflix on the phone. Regular content looks good and the sound of stereo speakers is loud and balanced.
Talking about benchmarks, the phone meets according to the competition in the market. The phone scored 6,95,094 points on AnuTuu. It scored 881 and 3,567 respectively in Geekbench’s single and multi -core tests. The phone in T-Rex and Car Chase on GFXBench maintained 60fps and 44fps respectively. Although this score Xiaomi 11t Pro (Review) or IQoo 9 se (Review) falls short in front of which Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC has been given and both are available at this price.
The gaming performance of the phone was good. Call of Duty: The phone did not heal even while playing games like mobile or asphalt 9 legends on high graphics settings. Being a premium smartphone, Asphalt 9 legend could not be played in this. These features are also available on devices with Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC. The 120Hz touch sampling rate of the display is sufficient. OnePlus 10R comes with a 160W charger with 5G (150W) which charges the device in 100 percent 19 minutes. OnePlus claimed 17 minutes for this, which is very close to him. Rapid charging mode has to be enabled by going to the battery settings of the phone, by default it gets off. After enabling you see a warning on the screen that is said to have- your device will be fast charged, but it may be slightly hot during charging. The phone was a bit hot in my experience but not so much that hand could not be put.
The company has also given a special feature for battery health so that both the phone and the battery are fine. It is named Battery Health Engine which comes in only 150W model. According to OnePlus, this battery has been given to maintain life for a long time.
OnePlus 10R 5G (150W) lasted one and a half days even after gaming and heavy usage. In the HD video loop test, the phone removed 18 hours and 9 minutes, which is a good thing for a premium smartphone.
OnePlus 10R 5G (150W) camera
OnePlus 10R 5G (150W) Main camera Sony’s testing is a 50 -megapixel IMX766 sensor with optical image stabilization. Apart from OnePlus 9RT and OnePlus 9 Pro, this camera has also been seen as an ultravide sensor of OnePlus. The 8 -megapixel ultra wide camera of the phone is downgorated as the 9RT had a 16 -megapixel camera. The 2 -megapixel macro camera has been given the same as the previous model. The phone for selfie supports the 16 -megapixel front camera.
Talking about the camera interface, it seems special to the OnePlus in which all the necessary controls are on the left side and there is a three-dot button, which more options are open when slide.
The primary camera of the phone captures crisp and clear photo in daylight. Dynamic range and details are good in the photo. The photo’s closeup shot was sharp and looked a little saturated. Ultravide camera takes good photos but was slightly different from the dynamic range and color tone primary camera in daylight. The details towards the age were less and a little barrel distortion was also seen.
Taking a selfie during the day time, the subject was seen as oversexed and the Dream Like Effect was seen in the photo. Photos were not much sharp or detailed. The details remained the same for switching to portrait mode in the selfie camera but the age detection was good. Shots averaged from the macro camera. They were sometimes coming well and sometimes they were missing.
When needed while using auto mode in low light, the camera was taking long exposure shots by itself. Shots taken from primary camera here were quite good. Noise was under control but some small highlights near the big light sources were not able to expose well. Nightscape mode took a long exposure and the photo came quite bright, including details and dynamic range. The photo from the ultra wide camera brought a little blur but was worth using. Low-lights were average in selfie quality and got a lot of noise in photos taken from portrait mode.
The video captured from OnePlus 10R 5G (150W) to 1080p was quite good in daylight. It had good dynamic range but comparatively details were slightly low. I used AI highlight feature in bright scenes (which only works in 1080p up to 30fps) but the footage was shake. On 60fps (1080p or 4K) the videos captured were a bit smooth but there was a lack of stabilization. The selfie videos were sharp on 1080p and 30fps but the background blow-out was captured in front of the light.
The quality of the video in low-light was to be impressed with great noise. There was a slight lack of stabilization. AI Highlight feature made the night video slightly bright but it also increased a lot of noise. Then I found it better to capture in regular mode itself.
Our decision
You will like a lot of things in OnePlus 10R 5G (150W Enduration Edition), provided that you are not a big onePlus fan. Those who want to shift new in the brand and upgrade to OnePlus for the first time will not miss its iconic alert slider. The phone has a crisp 120Hz fluid AMOLED display, quite processing power for heavy games, low light has a good working main camera, good battery life and 150W charging system that also works according to the claim.
A OnePlus fan will not find its alert slider and the company’s hand feel will be slightly different. The design of the phone may depend good or bad, but I do not like its sharp age as it did not find it so comfortable to hold. It did not feel so premium at a price of Rs 43,999.
Talking about competition in the market, you have a lot to choose. IQoo’s 9 SE with Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC and has a fairly good camera system, which comes for Rs 33,990. Xiaomi is 11T Pro that comes at Rs 38,999 and has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC, besides 108 megapixel camera and 120W charging feature with 5,000mAh battery. Samsung Galaxy S20 Fe 5G is also an option that is a premium smartphone with wireless charging and IP68 ratings. It is followed by Realme GT Neo 3 which is like OnePlus 10R 5G (150W) in terms of hardware but it is cheaper by Rs 1000.
