Speeding up is the keyword of OnePlus mobile phones in 2021. The official return to OPPO means that it will further open up the group's internal technology, channels, after-sales service and other resources, providing favorable support for the brand to "become bigger". Reaching a brand strategic cooperation with Hasselblad, jointly launching a plus hasselblad imaging system, and replacing the ColorOS system at the same time, it is a good solution to some of the shortcomings in the previous product side.
In fact, whether it is a change made at the brand or product level, the core appeal is only one, that is, to be able to move faster to the mass consumer market. After all, for the current mobile phone industry, "small" is easy to be swallowed, and it is not "beautiful". So, after a series of big events, what kind of posture will the new OnePlus 10 Pro appear in front of us?
A "bold" one-plus phone
Before the official start of the conference, the appearance of the OnePlus 10 Pro was circulated on the Internet, and friends who pay attention to this product should have seen it from various channels. Looking back at the previous OnePlus mobile phone, in fact, they were not so aggressive in the CMF design matter, preferring to spend energy to polish the product details, so at that time I thought that the set of exposure maps was most likely "netizen self-made".
But it turns out that the OnePlus 10 Pro does have some "bold" attempts at design. The rear camera of this generation of products has completely lost the shadow of the previous generation, and the intuitive visual effect is slightly square. What is more special is that the common "embedded" articulation scheme is not selected between the camera and the back cover, but the left side of the camera area and the aluminum alloy middle frame are fused together, which is quite recognizable.
The way the elements inside the camera are rendered has been adjusted accordingly. As you can see, the shape and size of the OnePlus 10 Pro's three lenses and the flash area are consistent, and the overall situation is much more regular than the OnePlus 9 Pro rear camera. Placing the HASSELBLAD logo longitudinally on the edges is the finishing touch, does not make this part look too empty, and also plays a certain dividing line effect.
The selection of materials is more exquisite, the official said, one plus 10 Pro rear lens protection area using 3D nano microcrystalline ceramic materials, the strength is high enough, but also can show a unique sense of luster, and frosted back cover in stark contrast. However, after using this time, we found that it, like many bright surface materials, also has the situation that it is easy to stick fingerprints, and it needs to be taken care of frequently in the later use process.
In terms of color matching, one plus 10 Pro only made two fuselage colors this time, in addition to the blue version shown in the article, there is also a boundary-breaking black version to choose from, corresponding to green and black respectively. Among them, the boundary-breaking black version of one plus 10 Pro uses a new silk glass process, and the all-things blue version is the "green glass" process, and the frosted effect adds crystal reflective points, which is still quite special.
From a personalized point of view, the All-Blue version has advantages, the color looks brighter, and the camera area and the back cover as a whole will form a certain contrast effect. The Boundary-Breaking Black version is more compatible, with better visual integration between the camera area and the back cover. If you are not sure, it is still recommended to go to the physical store to feel it before starting to avoid unnecessary trouble in the later stage.
As an old user of OnePlus mobile phones, the "thankful" point is that in 2022, you can also see three-stage buttons on the new OnePlus flagship. In fact, in the 5G era, the three-stage button design will bring a lot of trouble to the internal stacking of the fuselage, but the ease of use it brings is real. This can also reflect to a certain extent the attitude of OnePlus to do products, and some things need to be continued.
The three-stage button is like this, and the feel is the same. The body length of the OnePlus 10 Pro is 163 mm, the width is 73.9 mm, the thickness is 8.55 mm, and the official weight is 200.5 grams, counting the card and film about 205 grams. Although the rear camera seems to be "very heavy", the actual weight distribution is relatively uniform, there is no "top-heavy" problem, and it is still quite comfortable to hold in the hand.
In addition, due to the large area of the rear camera area of this phone, some people may be worried that the camera will be easy to touch when holding the phone. In fact, you will find that in fact, the camera area of the OnePlus 10 Pro occupies more horizontal space, and the bottom of the camera is still a long way from the middle line position of the rear cover, and the daily vertical screen use will basically not appear in the above situation.
But if you play the game horizontally, it is difficult to avoid...
"One Plus" smooth experience
Many people are familiar with OnePlus, which began with the "light and smooth" use experience, but later because the high refresh rate was too hot, everyone put more attention on the screen part. The changes of the OnePlus 10 Pro, in fact, from the official Slogan can easily know, there are not too many modifiers of one kind or another, that is, to be a performance flagship.
There are no surprises in terms of core hardware configuration, and like many newly listed flagship phones recently, it is equipped with a new generation of Snapdragon 8 platform, matching LPDDR5 running memory and UFS3.1 flash memory. In addition, it also supports memory expansion technology, allowing users to choose 3GB, 5GB and up to 7GB of memory expansion according to their actual usage needs.
About Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and memory expansion technology, we have introduced it in many related review articles before, and everyone should be familiar with it, so I will not repeat it here. According to the past practice, we still chose to use an Tutu and Master Lu two running score software to do a running score test, the actual measurement, a plus 10 Pro AnTu rabbit score of 996389 points, Lu Master for 917033 points.
In fact, whether it is the previous Snapdragon 888 or the current Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, the theoretical performance is great, but the calorific value is indeed not low, which is a test of the "dragon training ability" of various manufacturers. On the OnePlus 10 Pro, OnePlus used a three-dimensional space heat dissipation system for it, and the fuselage was stuffed with a very large area of thermally conductive materials, which was officially called the most powerful heat dissipation efficiency of a oneplus mobile phone ever.
In fact, for the current flagship smartphone, there is no problem in coping with commonly used apps such as WeChat and Weibo, and the biggest test comes from the game scene. In addition to the heat dissipation ability, other factors such as frame rate stability, startup speed, touch response, etc., will also directly affect the actual game experience. For the increasingly important parts of the game, this time OnePlus has put a lot of effort into it.
On the OnePlus 10 Pro, OnePlus is equipped with a new upgrade of HyperBoost full-link game frame stabilization technology, which is to improve the game startup speed, frame number stability and maneuverability of the mobile phone through graphics heterogeneity, GPA limit stable frame and O-Sync overclocking response technology, so that users can get a better comprehensive game experience. Let's talk about the general principle of the above technologies separately.
First, the graphics are heterogeneous. In fact, the game rendering process is also the process of the CPU constantly sending instructions to the GPU, in theory, if the mobile phone can know the specific content of the instructions in advance, it can reasonably allocate gpu computing power according to the priority of the rendering elements, avoid waste of resources, and also reduce energy consumption to a certain extent. The problem is that the underlying instruction transmission logic of the chip is not open to mobile phone manufacturers.
Therefore, among the domestic mobile phone brands before, only Huawei and Honor have done this. The essence of OnePlus' graphics heterogeneous technology is to refine and disassemble the graphics instructions sent by the CPU to the GPU, and then reasonably redistribute them to achieve the effect we mentioned above. According to the official statement, the technology can increase GPU computing efficiency by 36% and reduce the power consumption of a single game by 5%.
Second, GPA limit stable frame. As the technical name suggests, all it can do is ensure the stability of the frame rate during the game as much as possible. The principle behind this is actually not difficult to understand, that is, through the AI algorithm model to monitor user behavior, device temperature, power consumption and the current game situation in real time, to continuously adjust the CPU and GPU frequency.
To put it simply, it is to let the CPU and GPU in the team battle these time to power again, go home to buy equipment or wild areas themselves development and other scenes that do not need to run full load, do not be stupid to keep riveting forward. However, although the opening of the limit frame stabilization function can ensure that there will be no cliff frame drop problem during a long game time, it is true that the phone heat is indeed slightly higher.
Third, O-Sync overclocking response. This technology has been around since the time of the OnePlus 9 Pro, which improves the chirality by shortening the response time between applications to the screen display. Compared with the previous generation, this generation of O-Sync overclocking response has a wider coverage of the scene, and is supported in 60Hz, 90Hz and low-brightness scenes. Mobile games such as Glory of Kings, Peace Elite, League of Legends mobile games, Call of Duty, QQ Flying Car, Snake Wars, Harry Potter Magic Awakening, Crossfire Gunfight King, Hikari Encounter, Naruto and other mobile games have been adapted.
Of course, whether the phone is smooth to use or not, it still needs to be passed on to the user through a good screen. In terms of specifications, the screen size of the OnePlus 10 Pro is 6.7 inches, the resolution is 3216× 1440 pixels, the peak brightness is 1300nit, the native 10bit and HDR 10+ display is supported, the refresh rate is 120Hz, and the extreme touch sampling rate can reach 1000Hz.
What makes this screen special is the use of LTPO 2.0 technology. Regarding the advantages of LTPO screen, everyone knows better, and ltPO 2.0 in one plus mouth is actually optimized and improved in three aspects. One is that when the screen refresh rate changes from high to low or from low to high, the time required has been greatly shortened, and the whole change process is smoother.
In addition, the refresh rate matching in different scenarios is more accurate than before. Taking today's headline app as an example, when the interface is in a static state, the screen refresh rate of one plus 10 Pro can be reduced to 1Hz, and when such as typing screen or sliding through information, it will return to 120Hz to ensure visual fluency, better balancing the relationship between power saving and fluency.
The final point is the refresh rate matching for AOD. Most phones currently have an AOD refresh rate of 30Hz, and the OnePlus 10 Pro has achieved 1Hz. That is to say, when the information screen display is turned on, it can further reduce the additional battery life burden. However, at this stage, if you want to achieve ultra-low power consumption, you need to match the corresponding pattern.
During this time, my personal feeling is that the screen of the OnePlus 10 Pro is very good, whether it is the degree of display delicacy, picture transparency or color saturation, it is properly at the current top level, and in the pursuit of fluency, it is still radical.
There are two more points to share with you. First of all, one plus 10 Pro supports the simultaneous opening of the 2K+120Hz screen refresh rate, if you have no concerns about battery life, you can experience excellent screen display effects and smooth control; in addition, this time OnePlus will move the screen fingerprint module position to a position quite higher, one-handed unlocking will be much more convenient.
Hasselblad Image 2.0, easy to use and more fun
The front camera of one plus 10 Pro is 32 million pixels, and the four modes of night scene, video, photo, and portrait all support the beautification function, and the front video stabilization function certainly does not fall, but the screen will be cut after opening. In addition, this time, OnePlus has added a number of filters such as master fairy tales, master portraits, and master scenery, which can improve the playability of the camera to a certain extent.
The OnePlus 10 Pro switched to a triple-camera design, with a main camera of 4800 pixels, a Sony IMX789 sensor that supports OIS optical stabilization; an ultra-wide-angle lens of 50 megapixels with an exaggerated field of view of 150°; and an 8-megapixel independent telephoto lens that supports 3.3X optical zoom (which should be the same as the OnePlus 9 Pro). The following is a real-life sample without any post-processing:
Standard mode
Ultra wide angle
3.3x zoom
150° ultra-wide angle
Fisheye mode
When the OnePlus 9 series, the Hasselblad Joint Imaging System built a relatively complete architecture, and to the Hasselblad Image 2.0 of the OnePlus 10 Pro, the focus was turned to the upgrade and optimization. Color is still the place where the OnePlus camera team has spent more energy in the past year, and the effect they want to achieve is to make the color performance of the film closer to Hasselblad's natural color.
Judging from the sample effect we shot above, the straight sample color of the OnePlus 10 Pro belongs to the category of "sweet but not greasy", not so dull as the tone, and not too much pursuit of brilliance like many other mobile phones, which will give you a very comfortable feeling. The same is true in night mode, where there are no noticeable color casts in the subject, and thanks to excellent noise control, the overall picture looks very textured.
The ultra-wide-angle lens continues to occupy an extremely important position in the camera system of the OnePlus 10 Pro, and the difference from the previous generation is that in addition to the pursuit of better imaging quality, OnePlus has made more attempts in the playability of the wide-angle lens in the past few years. With 150° ultra-wide width and fisheye mode, you can shoot a lot of creative image assets (the default ultra-wide mode has a field of view of 110°).
Master Fairy Tale Filter
Master Portrait Filter
Master scenery filter
XPAN
Night mode
In addition to the above, OnePlus and Yin Chao, Ben Thomas, David Peskens, three Hasselblad master photographers, have worked together to create three Hasselblad master style tones of portraits, scenery and fairy tales. It is equivalent to providing you with a simpler way to take a good photo, of course, when actually used, there are not so many regulations, according to their own preferences to choose.
In other respects, the OnePlus 10 Pro supports shooting, storing, and displaying 1 billion color images, and the second generation of Hasselblad Pro mode adds full-focus pro mode and super RAW+ format shooting, and allows users to adjust almost all parameters including ISO, white balance, exposure time, focus, etc. Overall, the feature of the Image Part of the OnePlus 10 Pro is that it is better to use and more fun.
Top flagships should have the texture of use
For mobile phone products positioned like the OnePlus 10 Pro, excellent screen, performance, heat dissipation, ID design and image capability performance can make it rank among the flagship mobile phones, but if you want to add the word top in front of the flagship, there are still many places to investigate. And when it is really used, the brilliance of the top flagship is often more reflected in those "invisible" places.
OnePlus 10 Pro is worth saying that it uses an X-axis linear motor with the largest motor vibration in the current Android mobile phone, which is 47% higher than the motor used on the OnePlus 9 Pro, and at the same time, it has made vibration adaptations to more than 170 different use scenarios, which can provide extremely accurate and crisp vibration feedback, so that the OnePlus 10 Pro has a very advanced texture of use.
After returning to OPPO, the "logical" debut of the OnePlus 10 Pro is equipped with the new ColorOS 12.1 operating system. In addition to optimizing the basic functions, this version of the system focuses on upgrading the smoothness and convenience of use. For example, the OnePlus 10 Pro can achieve 36 months without stuttering (official laboratory data), and also has a more powerful cross-screen interconnection capability, which is real for user experience improvement.
Cool to use is an important feature that flagship mobile phones should have, but for more people, it may be more important to worry about it. In order to pursue excellent grip, the OnePlus 9 Pro did not choose a large battery solution, which also led to its actual battery life level is not so satisfactory. Probably learning the previous "lesson", this time OnePlus stuffed a 5000mAh large battery into the interior of the OnePlus 10 Pro fuselage.
While enlarging the battery capacity, OnePlus also matches the new 80W wired fast charging solution and the 50W wireless fast charging scheme. Measured, the original wired charger can be charged from 1% to 13% in 3 minutes, 6 minutes to 26%, 9 minutes to 38%, 12 minutes to 49%, 15 minutes to 58%, and 100% to 32 minutes.
In the case of wireless fast charging, full charging only takes about 47 minutes, and the overall charging time is still ideal. And because of the larger battery capacity, while making a lot of efforts to reduce power consumption, in my personal habits, the actual endurance level of the OnePlus 10 Pro is obviously better than that of the OnePlus 9 Pro, which does not need to worry too much.
At this point, it is time to summarize this article. In fact, in the past year, several domestic mobile phone manufacturers have begun to choose to force the high-end market, and this industry atmosphere will only become more "lively" in 2022. If you want to occupy a place in the high-end market competition, it is undoubtedly the most important thing to clarify the product path as soon as possible.
The core power point of one plus 10 Pro is actually two, one is through better software and hardware capabilities, so that the product is more comfortable and more worry-free, no matter which age group to use, there will be no obvious shortcomings; the other point is to work the details of the experience to improve the texture of use, which is precisely the key to creating product differentiation and ensuring user viscosity.
Finally, the 8GB+128GB version of the OnePlus 10 Pro is 4699 yuan, the 8GB+256GB version of the 10 Pro is 4999 yuan, and the 12GB+256GB version is 5299 yuan, which is officially launched on January 13. In addition, other models of the OnePlus 10 series can not be released until after the holiday, so you can wait and see if you are not in a hurry.
