OnePlus 10 Ultra Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

OnePlus 10 Ultra - perfection improvement

The release of the continuation of the flagship smartphone sometimes costs manufacturers a titanic effort. The process of finalizing the phone is especially difficult, when the predecessor received flattering reviews from the audience and critics and was not characterized by a large number of shortcomings. A similar situation occurred with the well-known Chinese company Vanplas. What exactly did the developer decide to change in the new product to attract the attention of buyers to it?

The appearance of the device has not undergone tangible changes. The original block of cameras still looks relevant, metal and glass in the body structure have not lost their popularity. The 6.7-inch AMOLED screen, which is frameless around the entire perimeter, not only looks beautiful, but also gives an extremely detailed picture with a resolution of 3216x1440 pixels. The image refresh rate of 120 hertz, brightness and contrast indicators do not lag behind the given parameter. The fingerprint sensor is built under the AMOLED display, its accuracy is not satisfactory. Thus, we are dealing with one of the best AMOLED matrices today.

Specifications have undergone only a minor upgrade. The difference in performance between the "ordinary" Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen1 and its version with the Plus index is small, it's really hard to notice, because the chipset with 8GB / 12GB of RAM and the "overclocked" Adreno 730 graphics adapter copes with all resource-intensive games without lags and friezes. Unfortunately, after hours of gaming sessions, Genshin Impact or Fornite stutters can appear due to excessive chipset heat. Even an impressive passive cooling system does not completely eliminate throttling. The power consumption of the top CPU is not weak, but problems with autonomy are defeated due to the 5000mAh battery (2x2500mAh). Wired charging at 80W (25 minutes from 0 to 100% capacity), its wireless counterpart add to the list of pluses of the battery, which provides about 7-8 hours of active screen time. The size of the internal memory was 128/256/512GB UFS 3.1 format.

The 48-megapixel Sony IMX789 photomodule has undergone significant metamorphosis. Oppo's MariSilicon X NPU neural chip, upgraded lenses and sophisticated hybrid stabilization help the camera produce day and night shots that are close to ideal, showing the smallest details without noise or blurring. The Samsung JN1's 50-megapixel wide-angle sensor and improved 13-megapixel telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom only add to the appeal of the gadget as a camera phone. Stereo sound , support for 5G and NFC contactless payments, Android 12 - perhaps this list lacks moisture protection according to IP68 standards. However, this is the only negative of the flagship, which is beautiful in all aspects.
