Reviewer Consensus
Good
The OnePlus 10 Pro is a well-rounded flagship that offers impressive fast charging, a vibrant display, and solid daily performance. That said, it struggles to distinguish itself from competitors, as it lacks consistent camera reliability and official water resistance on unlocked models.

- PetaPixel 8/10
The OnePlus 10 Pro focuses on the right things, rather than throwing new stuff at a wall to see what sticks.
- The Verge 7/10
OnePlus has taken another step in the evolution of its flagship offerings, and it’s a good one. This feels like a device that knows what it is and who it’s for, more so than the 9 and 9 Pro.
- WIRED 7/10
If you made me choose from the current crop of flagship Android smartphones, the new OnePlus 10 Pro wouldn't be my first or second choice. It's not my last either.
-
[T]he OnePlus 10 Pro is easy to 'Highly Recommend'.
-
The OnePlus 10 Pro has a brilliant display and offers long battery life along with fast charging that gets the battery from zero to full in about 35 minutes. The performance is solid and the main camera is quite good as well.
-
So to sum up my thoughts after using the OnePlus 10 Pro for around a month at this point, I think all of its parts add up to a good smartphone, just not a great one.
-
It finds itself not so precariously perched between the people who used to love it and the people who just want a competitive phone competently executed.
-
The OnePlus 10 Pro is a great smartphone. It’s reasonably priced, has flagship specs, and a stunning screen.
-
The OnePlus 10 Pro offers enticing camera features, fast charging, and an excellent screen, but stumbles with a disappointing software experience.
-
The OnePlus 10 Pro is a great premium all-around phone - it has a good-looking screen, fast charging and powerful internals. The cherry on the cake is that it costs less than other Pro phones, making it an incredibly tempting choice.
-
OnePlus might have nailed its cameras last year, but it's not at the same level of the best phone cameras in 2022.
-
Make no mistake the OnePlus 10 Pro is an excellent smartphone, and the price makes it tempting, but it has clearly been assimilated by the Oppo/Realme/Vivo collective.
- CNET 8/10
The OnePlus 10 Pro is without doubt the best phone the company has ever made.
- Android Police 7/10
The camera has some great features, but its inconsistency seals what is a poor deal compared to Samsung's and Google's phones in 2022.
- PhoneArena 8.5/10
At the end of the day, the OnePlus 10 Pro is a step forward, but not a giant leap.
-
So overall, this is a fun phone to use and I think most people would enjoy it. To buy one, you’d probably have to really be a huge OnePlus fan, though.
-
The display panel is the same as that of the 9 Pro. It is rated for 1300 nits of peak brightness, and it has HDR10+ support and a variable 120Hz refresh rate that optimizes battery life by switching down to as low as 1Hz.
-
In terms of build quality, photography, user experience, battery life and most other features, it’s more or less right up there and all for a smaller outlay.
-
The OnePlus 10 Pro at $899 is an outstanding value that for the right buyer is the best phone available today.
-
With a better camera setup, this could have been a great phone, but for now, I'm just gonna have to call it good.
-
I personally like this OnePlus 10 Pro. I do believe that this is the best phone the company has ever made and I do feel that for any OnePlus fan looking for an upgrade this is definitely the right time to do so.
-
It's a fantastic phone in its own right, but it's hard to justify the extra expenditure over the company's own OnePlus 9 Pro.
-
In almost every way, the OnePlus 10 Pro is a very good smartphone. In fact, we have no serious complaints about it.
-
It’s a nicely designed phone, it takes excellent pictures, it has great battery life and performance is superb.
- Creative Bloq 9/10
The OnePlus 10 Pro is one of the most balanced smartphones around right now.
-
The OnePlus 10 Pro is an impressively well-rounded flagship that splits the difference between Realme’s and Oppo’s recent flagships, with superb battery life but an inconsistent camera that holds it back from true greatness.
-
The OnePlus 10 Pro is a perfectly solid Android device. There’s nothing particularly outstanding about it, but it’s capable enough that it’s an option if you don’t like the look and feel of Samsung and Google’s respective phones.
-
It's nicely designed and built, well priced and very capable, but the OnePlus 10 Pro doesn't stand out from the affordable-flagship crowd as much as last year's model.
-
The OnePlus 10 Pro is an excellent option in its price range, and slightly edges ahead of the likes of the Google Pixel 6 Pro.
-
I gotta say I have enjoyed using it as my personal smartphone. There's very little to complain about really beyond the usual bugbear such as no headphone jack, no expandable storage, etc.
-
[T]he OnePlus 10 Pro, I'm giving this phone a major major major go.
-
[T]he phone, I like it a lot.
- Digit 8.4/10
The OnePlus 10 Pro is a great smartphone, there are no two ways about it.
-
That the OnePlus 10 Pro surely does not feel as special as previous OnePlus phones used to.
-
The display is great, the processor snappy, and it has longer battery life than most. However, there's still work to be done with the camera technology and that may well be the deciding factor for consumers.
-
The OnePlus 10 Pro 5G is a very cool phone. I think it's easily the most accomplished smartphone OnePlus has cooked up, although I can see some of the ColorOS changes being a little controversial.
-
In all, we’re impressed with the OnePlus 10 Pro’s shooters. Ultrawide aside, this camera system is a solid improvement over the OnePlus 9 Pro’s.
-
If you want a flagship quality Android smartphone that isn’t from Samsung or Google, I’m afraid that I wouldn’t choose the OnePlus 10 Pro 5G.
-
[T]his is an excellent phone. I think OnePlus somewhat redeemed themselves.
-
Now if you are looking for a flagship device, OnePlus 10 Pro still offers great experience overall.
-
Even though the OnePlus 10 Pro is a decent upgrade over the 9 Pro, it fails to compete with the best flagship phones of 2022. So you might be better off with Samsung's Galaxy S22+ instead, which offers a lot more for a similar price.
-
The 10 Pro for me clearly shows that OnePlus haven't lost their way just yet, so here's hoping things will only get better from here.
-
The battery seems to last a day at least in my experience, the camera's great, it's got a clean display, the software is smooth, it checks all the boxes that we would expect a smartphone in 2022 to check.
-
The OnePlus 10 Pro is the best phone OnePlus has ever made, and it's a handset that’s extremely easy to love. We’re particularly fans of its design, its performance, its screen, and its software, but there really are no significant weak links in this phone.
-
[I]f you want a phone that is much cheaper now and you want it for a good price, this is definitely one of those phones that I can easily recommend.
-
The OnePlus 10 Pro is the best alternative to the finest Samsung and Google Androids. Hardware specs are always important when shopping for an Android phone, and if you're looking for the best under $1,000, you should definitely consider the 10 Pro.
-
[T]he OnePlus 10 Pro is one of the most underrated phones in 2022.
-
I personally love the OnePlus 10 Pro, it's a minimal, clean and smooth phone.
-
There are definitely some improvements on this phone like a better display and a longer battery life, louder speakers, new camera features, but still, when you're actually using this phone, these upgrades don't feel that drastic.
-
[T]here are so many things to love about this device because there's just so much it does right, but there is one glaring issue that makes this and almost every other OnePlus device a terrible purchase decision [...]
-
It's just not as spectacular for the price.
