Teased at CES in Las Vegas last week, the OnePlus 10 Pro 5G will not have waited very long to be concretely formalized. However, its manufacturer has chosen to make its announcements in its country of origin, China, with a view to rapidly marketing its smartphone in the territory. If the One Plus 10 Pro 5G will be available from January 13 in the Middle Kingdom, it will take a few months to see it land in Europe.
Presented at the last Snapdragon Tech Summit, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is Qualcomm’s all-new flagship SoC, and it’s featured within the OnePlus 10 Pro 5G. This is already the promise of a muscular terminal in terms of performance, since this new mobile platform has been driving benchmarks crazy since its announcement. He is supported by a Adreno 730 GPU, and by a 5G X65 chip. To complete this SoC, the OnePlus 10 Pro 5G is equipped with LPDDR5 RAM, up to 12 GB depending on the model.
On the side of the screen, there is a slab 6.7 inch Fluid AMOLED LTPO, with a refresh rate that goes up to 120 Hz. Image definition is 3216 x 1440 pixels, with a ratio of 20.1: 9, for a pixel density of 525 ppi. Everything is covered with a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass Victus.
As for the models of the OnePlus 9 range, the manufacturer has again partnered with Hasselblad on the photo side. This second-generation solution supports the OnePlus Billion Color solution, which is intended to apply Hasselblad’s natural color calibration to over one billion colors.
The rear camera consists ofa main 48-megapixel Sony IMX789 sensor, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle and finally an 8-megapixel telephoto lens with 3.3x zoom. The terminal is also capable of filming in 10-bit color. It can shoot 4K videos up to 120 frames per second, and 8K videos up to 24 frames per second. At the front, a 32-megapixel Sony IMX615 sensor is intended for selfies.. It can shoot 1080p at 30 frames per second.

Hardware ambitions are mixed with great software promises. Hasselblad Pro mode has been optimized for the OnePlus 10 Pro, with 12-bit RAW capture support on the three sensors on the back. Also on the program, a RAW + mode, which in turn allows you to take photos in 12-bit RAW while retaining all the elements of OnePlus computer photography. Something to satisfy photographers who like to have total control over their shots.
For creators of video content, the Movie mode is interesting. It allows you to capture video while keeping your hand on ISO, shutter speed and white balance, all in real time. It is also possible to film in LOG format without picture profile, which offers more freedom for assembly.
Among the other notable characteristics of the OnePlus 10 Pro, we can mention the fast charge 80 W SuperVOOC Flash Charge, the fastest ever offered on a manufacturer’s smartphone. It would be able to fully recharge a 5,000 mAh battery in just 32 minutes. For his part, the 50 W AirVOOC induction charge takes the device from 1 to 100% in 47 minutes.
Finally, the new OnePlus terminal will enter the market with ColorOS 12.1 based on Android 12. It will be available in two colors, volcanic black and emerald forest. All that remains is to wait for the returns of the Chinese grip, as well as a release date in Europe.
