OnePlus 10 Pro 5G (Volcanic Black, 8GB RAM, 128GB Storage)

This is a review for phone users, not gamers, photographers, whole-day social media people. My usage of phone is for calling, some texting, and occasional videos and photographs. My last phone lasted for more than 5 years and is still working. This is my first OnePlus phone, so I don't know about their previous phone quality.Look and feel:Feels solid in the hand, grip is good with the supplied cover.Battery life:I have been using it for over a week and for me a single charge lasts for more than a day. In fact, recently I did a drive from South India to North India of over 2000kms and the phone was connected over Android Auto for more than 10 hrs each day. The battery lasted well.Heating?I didn't find any major heating issues. Some mild heat, yes. Its similar to if you keep running any machine non-stop, or even if you keep running, your body heats up. Its normal. I am not sure what everyone's expectation is with respect to phone's not heating up. Use it reasonably, it performs very well. Well, if you are always on phone, then probably it would heat up. I don't even use 120hz refresh rate. To a normal human eye, the difference between 60-90-120hz is not perceptible. I keep it at 60, battery lasts long, doesn't heat. Phone is happy, I am happy :)Camera:Decent to nice photographs. Low ligt photography is also pretty good. For serious photography, I have a DSLR and other camera and I trust them more than any phone camera. For occasional clicks, this done a fine job.Gaming:I am not a gamer and have never played any game on any phone so don't have an opinion.Speed/StorageUltra fast with respect to installing, uninstalling apps. 256GB storage is more than sufficient for my use. My previous phone had 64GB and in 5 years, it never got full. Well, I keep a tight control on what gets installed and downloaded on my phone. I don't let junk accumulate on phone, keeps the phone and battery life long.Sound:Very good sound quality of speakers. Well its a phone and it can do only as much. For more serious viewing, I watch on my TV and home theater.Overall:A fantastic phone at this price point. I couldn't find anything that is bad with the phone. With my usage, it will easily last for more than 4-5 years.

The media could not be loaded. I've been continuously using this as my primary device for almost 15 days, with 2 sims inserted.🤳🏻 Design:- It's a complete personal preference. For me, it's a really unique and professional looking phone. The in-hand feel is even better than that of S22 Ultra and iPhone 13/14 Pro Max because of its Curved screen and Curved sides.📱Display:- Hands down! This has to be one of the best displays available there in the market. The display is a WQHD, Fluid Amoled LTPO 2.0 Panel with a refresh rate of 120Hz. The peak brightness can go upto 1300 nits, which is more than enough for an average user. Lastly, the display is a “Flagship” display.🧑🏻‍💻 Performance:- This device comes with Snapdragon 8 Gen1, 12/256 GB, UFS 3.1 Storage solution. Talking about benchmark scores, this device scores a bit less than the Ultra Flagships out there, but that won't be a problem in the day to day usage. This phone feels so smooth, optimised and fast.💽 Software:- If you've pastly used Oxygen OS 8, 9,10,11, you'll feel a bit different, as the OS has lost its, stock Android appearance. But still, Oxygen OS is the cleanest, when it comes to bloatware, compared to others. It feels so fresh, smooth, optimised and fast, a complete Flagship experience.🔋 Battery:- The battery experience is quite good. For me, it's giving a Screen On Time (SOT) of around 5-6, even 7 hours sometimes. And the charging is one of the best, with 80W fast charging. And the charger is included inside the box.😅📸 Camera:- This device comes with a (48MP Wide, 50MP Ultrawide, 8MP Telephoto). The picture comes with a really natural colour output and video also comes with great stabilization and colour output. The only problem is that the Telephoto and Ultrawide can't record in 4K 60Fps. It might be fixed with future updates. But for the price, it has to be real value for money deal.₹Pricing:- If you get this device around 60-65K, it'll be a steal deal!I've got it for 61K in the Great Indian Shopping Festival.

The phone got delivered within a day so no complains with that...So I have used this device now for quite some days and what I think is its good but certainly can improve...Lets talk about Pros1. Great display, screen and feel. One of the best gives premium feeling.2. Camera and color balance definitely better than older devices.3. SD 8 gen 1 makes it fast.4. Security like lock screen face detection in display fingerprint is really fast and responsive.5. Boost for gaming and all works really good. Surprisingly during games like Battleground, call of duty phone is cool but during genshin impact too much heating.6. Sound quality is good too7. Oxygen OS with android 12 is smoooooth.Cons:1. Battery drains fast if u use 120 hz and always on display, anyways it gives screen time of 5 hr 15 min thats pretty less just somehow manages for a day.2. Below 10% if u work on camera or video phone gets heated.3. Apps like MX player, Instagram takes lot of battery and heats the phone. So heatong issue is there and hopefully oneplus tries to fix this by update.4. Ringtones and sounds kind a feel very low sometimes previous phone like my 8T had good sound volume.So the phone has only battery issues but not that bad compared to other devices. Still better than others.
