- PetaPixel 6.5/10
If taking photos isn’t your priority, the 10T is a solid performer that works consistently well.
-
Everything about this phone, it's all right, nothing too crazy about it, and that's what they're intending to do with the sort of remnants of what OnePlus is.
-
[T]hey've made something that's very akin to like the old school OnePlus vibe, it really is.
- The Verge 7/10
The OnePlus 10T isn’t a phone that tries to be everything for everyone, and I think that’s great. It’s smartly priced, and in the US, there’s not a whole lot else available at the same price point.
-
Buy it for the performance and charging, not the camera, and the OnePlus 10T is a good top-spec phone at a highly competitive price. But with extremely good mid-range phones such as the Pixel 6a [...]
- Android Authority 7/10
The OnePlus 10T is a gaming phone in all but name, and has a laser focus on the value-conscious performance enthusiast.
-
The OnePlus 10T excels in some areas, with its performance, fast-charging, and screen being among the best in the business. However, the camera isn't as good as rival flagships.
-
Neither does the lack of wireless charging. Still, with lightning-fast wired charging and the latest processing power, anyone who needs speed will get exactly that with the 10T.
-
Starting at $649, the OnePlus 10T recaptures the company’s core ethos of offering a “flagship killer” for less money than the competition, and it does so with high-end specs, excellent cellular reception, and the fastest wired charging of any phone available in the US.
-
The OnePlus 10T is a worthy mid-range Android phone. Its good-looking screen, powerful chipset and fast charging make it a tempting buy for certain users.
-
The OnePlus 10T is possibly the least OnePlus-y phone the company's ever produced. The revival of the flagship T-series brings with it both some market-leading features but at the expense of other elements falling below par, and some OnePlus signature abilities disappearing.
-
While it's super fast, the OnePlus 10T isn't as well rounded as phones like the Pixel 6.
- Digital Trends 6/10
There’s nothing really wrong with the OnePlus 10T. It works well enough, and to a certain extent, fits the OnePlus T series criteria.
-
I’m disappointed in OnePlus. I can say confidently that if you’re looking for the best all-round experience the company can offer, the OnePlus 10 Pro (and not the 10T) is the phone to get.
- Android Police 7.5/10
The OnePlus 10T offers strong performance, decent cameras, and wildly fast wired charging at a fair price of $650, but subpar software support and downgrades like the loss of OnePlus's formerly trademark alert slider hold it back from greatness.
- PhoneArena 8/10
At the end of the day, the OnePlus 10T follows a familiar path for OnePlus: it's filled with the latest and most powerful hardware, it's fast, it's great for gamers, and it offers insane charging speeds, but it compromises on the camera quality.
-
If you’re one that wants performance more than the best camera you can get, then the OnePlus 10T is a great buy.
-
In its essence, the OnePlus 10T is an upper-midrange phone with a top-tier chipset and class-leading charging capability. We'd say it's priced accordingly and is worth what OnePlus is asking - perhaps you can read that as sort of a recommendation.
-
The OnePlus 10T 5G is a good choice for certain niche buyers – those who want bragging rights, those who are crazy about gaming, and those who suffer from severe battery-level anxiety.
-
You can't go wrong with the OnePlus 10T, but for my money, I'd be choosing the OnePlus 10 Pro any day of the week when it costs only that much more to get a far superior experience in every way but the chipset.
-
With all of that being said, I still think the OnePlus 10T is a good phone with overhyped marketing. It’s not redefining the smartphone, but it’s a well-rounded device from a hardware perspective.
-
The OnePlus 10T is a great value phone for the money, offering high performance specifications, a great display and at least one good camera for a very reasonable price.
-
A phone that does exactly what it says on the tin, the OnePlus 10T is a powerful handset with super fast charging capabilities, and the long-lasting battery doesn’t hurt either.
-
Ultimately, even taking into account such weaknesses, the OnePlus 10T is still a mighty fine mid-range smartphone.
- Creative Bloq 8/10
Once you get over the non-OnePlus nature of the phone, though, strong performance, best-in-class charging speeds, and a great main camera ensure it's still a good smartphone.
-
The OnePlus 10T is an affordable flagship phone whose fine balance of price and specs harks back to the plucky OnePlus of a few years ago.
-
The OnePlus 10T Is a Great Deal for Power Users, Even if It's Missing a Volume Slider.
-
For the $649 price, $749 for this particular review unit, OnePlus offers a lot to like when looking at Android flagship devices, and it’s the first generally available Android smartphone we have seen with the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 processor.
-
The 10T is now a pretty solid proposition.
- CGMagazine 9.5/10
Delivering on both performance and price, the OnePlus 10T is a slam dunk offering that shows OnePlus is listening to its fans and improving where it matters most.
-
Nevertheless, the OnePlus 10T gets my thumbs up for what it is capable of, and like what I say on my first impressions video, you shouldn't hate it.
-
[T]he just-above-midrange (but just below flagship) OnePlus 10T is a worthy smartphone to consider.
-
As for our final thoughts, the 10T feels as though OnePlus might have their identity in the mix here. Showing some really promising hardware and software, but lacking in areas where it should count.
-
I feel that the OnePlus 10T is a no-brainer for you to have.
-
[T]he T stands for top tier.
-
All right, so overall, how does it feel like to use the OnePlus 10T? I must say that I'm really happy with the performance I'm getting from this guy.
-
It isn’t a proper flagship even with the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 but it will surely get any resource-drenching tasks done without any hassle for sure.
-
I think it's a good phone, I think, I think you can't go wrong with this one if you're interested at the price point.
-
My hot take: in the 900 range there are better phones than the OnePlus 10 Pro, but in the 650 dollar price range the OnePlus 10T is very competitive.
-
[I]f you ask me, I think the OnePlus 10T is a pretty good semi-flagship phone with very little compromise.
- Pokde.Net 7.3/10
If you want a phone with super fast charging, adequate battery life, great for multitasking, and close to stock android with decent cameras, you can consider getting this smartphone.
-
At the same time, it's a sleek, powerful, well-made piece of hardware with a solid OLED screen, and the 125W wired charging speed is mind-blowing.
-
[...] I think the OnePlus 10T is a good Android smartphone given the price point. The screen is brilliant, the touch access and function are very responsive, and the face recognition works well.
-
Firstly who is this phone for, I think this is a phone for those who want the raw performance of a Flagship spec chip, memory and storage but don’t have or want to spend extra on things that may be superfluous to what they need, in this a high-end camera.
-
While the OnePlus 10T doesn’t reach the level of true flagships, it’s a great smartphone with powerful hardware, and good mobilespecs that deserves a recommendation to buy.
-
[Y]ou get more with the turbo variant, certainly very practical things like reliable fast charging and performance that can withstand any workflow or play session, but the creator in me isn't impressed by these cameras [...]
-
Okay, performance, battery, great display, OS upgrade, and support for four years; if those things are important, this is the phone to get right now.
-
I really can't say you need to buy this phone because there are quite a few things that you would have to settle with.
-
As a new model for customers heading into the holidays, the OnePlus 10T 5G makes sense. It has Qualcomm's latest and most powerful Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset; the battery is fantastic; and OnePlus is committing to three years of software updates.
-
Say what you want about the OnePlus 10T, maybe the camera and some other features, for the things that I like when it comes to gaming, this is the best regular smartphone to game on in 2022.
-
[W]ith the screaming performance, great battery life, and fastest charging that I've ever seen on a phone, this is definitely one of the phones to consider at the price range for 2022.
-
I think that's a little bit of a drawback in my opinion, but overall for this price, the speed and the experience you're getting, I think when you're really focusing on that, this phone feels a lot more like a OnePlus 10T in my opinion.
-
This is a really competitive offering and I think you're getting so much here for the price.
-
OnePlus 10T has its strengths, which gives it an edge over rivals. With the exception of the camera, the OnePlus 10T is a complete flagship.
