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

OnePlus 10R Lite is a basic flagship with huge potential

The Chinese OnePlus company is constantly expanding the range of smartphones offered, but not all fans of the brand like this situation. The main reason for hatred is the presence of fairly average models that are not of particular interest against the background of numerous competitive analogues. However, sometimes extremely interesting gadgets come out from under the developer's pipeline, capable of attracting the attention of even the most sophisticated part of the audience. This is the hero of today's review.

The appearance of the novelty turned out to be memorable, albeit disappointing in a number of moments. Negative emotions can cause plastic housing, which, although it has a matte texture pleasant to the touch, collects chips and scratches. But at the same time the brutal block of cameras, a relatively small bezells of the screen, a side-mounted fingerprint scanner and a 16-megapixel hidden in the corner self-module form a harmonious and extraordinary exterior together. The 6.59-inch IPS screen is a rare event in the price segment of the market. The brightness of the IPS panels and its contrast do not surprise at all, but the haters of the AMOLED displays will be delighted with the lack of a Shim effect, the best clarity of the image with a similar resolution of FullHD+. The 120hz frequency of the picture update, oleophobic coating and glass, and a protective film did not disappoint also.

The gadget is fully revealed in the technical characteristics. The almost top-end MediaTek Dimensity 8100 processor is a real dream of any gamer. The chipset with 8GB/12GB of the RAM and the Mali G610MC6 GPU achieves crazy results in benchmarks and, not surprising, maximum stops of graphics in any games. It is difficult not to notice the flagship performance in everyday life, because each launched application has responsiveness and smoothness. Everything described previously is combined in the CPU with remarkable energy efficiency, which allows a battery of 5000mah to issue more than 8-9 hours of active screen time. Fast charging in 65W is attached to the battery. The manufacturer did not have to save on the size of the internal storage, which reached 128/256GB of ROM.

A noticeable shortage of Android telephone is the photo capabilities of its 64-, 8- and 2-megapixel chambers, devoid of optical stabilization. Although the phablet is positioned as a cameraphone, it is difficult not to criticize many noise in evening photographs, as well as obvious lubricants of moving objects and mistakes in color reproduction. But stereodinics and even a connector for wired headphones are preserved. The list of advantages is expanded due to non-contact payments of NFC, support of 5G networks and debugged software. It is not fair to demand a different functionality from the already excellent device for the requested money.
