OnePlus arrives on the market with its best R series phones. Two years ago, the OnePlus introduced the series of smartphones to bridge the ever-widening gap between the Nord series and its most popular premium smartphones. At the same time, these R series smartphones have traditionally categorized themselves as cut-price flagships. The phone strategy which is pivoted this year is based on the Shenzhen company. This smartphone is a very different beast compared to the rest of the phone’s lineup, from the internals to the externals. In this blog of the OnePlus 10R Review, we will see what is good and what is not good and also know some of its features.
The OnePlus 10R smartphone is the latest India-exclusive budget flagship phone from OnePlus. OnePlus company got the sub-flagship by the moniker which is located in China. Desirous followers of the phone industry will also notice that the specification of this smartphone is practically the same as the Realme GT Neo 3 from its BBK sister brand. That should not arrive as a surprise since the OnePlus 10R is basically just a rebadged Realme GT Neo 3 with Oxygen OS onboard. The phone is an amazing evolution of the formula pioneered by the OnePlus 9R. While the company’s models, the OnePlus 9R and the OnePlus 9RT, were quite clearly a variation on the flagship formula. OnePlus looks like it is targeting a fully unique proposition instead of positioning the 10R as a cut-price flagship alternative. The OnePlus 10R smartphone debuts a MediaTek affordable price in the value flagship space and combines with competent imaging hardware. A high refresh rate display and table stakes like adequate RAM also find their way here. The real attention which grabs the audience is its ultra-fast charging speeds.
The OnePlus phone has opted for a bold visual identity with the 10R that creates its presence felt, for worse or better. The design of the rear side of the smartphone comes with a dual-pane which consists of an array of strips is certainly something. The fact that it adjusts nowhere in the overarching OnePlus decision language aside. It is going to be moving various kinds of heads with its unique pinstripe view. The screen is yet another feature of the smartphone that stands out. OnePlus handsets have traditionally had slightly nice displays with colors that are more accurate than not. In the case of this phone, it means that a 6.7-inch FHD + AMOLED display with a 120 Hz refresh rate as well as HDR is also available in this phone. Strictly saying, the calibration of the display is very good. The screen does have its caveats, though, and that is much more to do with how it maintains a high dynamic range of content. Seeing HDR10+ videos, the smartphone gets a mild blue cast and a pretty shift in white point.
As we have established, the OnePlus 10R smartphone is a dramatic departure from the entire the recent OnePlus phone lineup. From the flat sides to the flat screen and the items and materials used, there is precious little here that reminds you of the completely blooded OnePlus 10 Pro. While it is a bit unusual for the brand to introduce fresh recognition in the middle of a smartphone cycle, what is specifically odd is the drastic drop in quality. The quality of the OnePlus smartphone is not very good because it is built with plastics or glass at the rear. The smartphone simply does not look premium to the touch. The OnePlus is specifically noticeable in the plastic camera module that attracts fingerprints for days and seems a smudge fest after moving the phone out of the box. The drop-down in the quality of the phone is also reflected in the missing alert slider. The expulsion of the slider is not just a hardware omission, and it is a given line that the latest OnePlus is not afraid to break from tradition. This smartphone is powered by Oxygen OS 12.1, which is a mish-mash of factors cribbed from Oppo’s Color OS and Oxygen OS. Factors like the notification toggle, such as lack of continuity, and there is odd text scaling to play that can create certain factors to appear just too big.
If you are already a user of a OnePlus phone, then you know the phone’s camera quality is not bad. But that theme of incompatibility slips over into imaging, which should maybe arrive as no surprise for a OnePlus smartphone. It begins with the smartphone’s proclivity to move the white balance towards warm tones. While the image captured by this phone that I do not personally mind, it just is not very accurate. The age-old OnePlus phone issue of crushed shadows is yet another concern. The 50 MP primary camera sensor can give us a decent amount of quality and performs nicely in dimly lit situations. The same thing cannot be said for the ultrawide sensor shooter. The 8MP camera sensor restrictions are immediately apparent, with heavy noise shortage being the norm to mask the narrow details. Things give a rocking button when it comes to the macro camera. The 2MP macro sensor is generally seen doing the rounds normally bad; the one on the OnePlus 10R smartphone hits a new low.
In most scenarios, it is normal to experience heating problems since most smartphones do not have a cooling machine, but if you utilize your smartphone to multitask and play big games, then your smartphone will slow down, and the machine’s power will decrease, affecting the phone’s performance.
It totally depends on the RAM and processor of the smartphone. To run BGMI or PUNG smoothly on the OnePlus 10R, the minimum requirement is to have at least 3GB of RAM and a nice processor. However, playing games for a long time may decrease the performance depending upon the other elements like battery percentage and screen brightness, and RAM consumption.
By default, the OnePlus 10R smartphone does not give permission to users to delete its pre-installed apps, but you may utilize third-party tools to delete pre-installed apps from the OnePlus 10R smartphone.
