Obviously, after entering 2022, the pace of launching the current season flagship is faster than in 2021 – in fact, at this time last year, we had the same lament. It can only be said that the rapid development of the technical level, the concept change of the industrial chain, and the increasingly severe Red Sea situation on the market side are all factors contributing to this situation, and to put it more broadly, the uncertainty of the global economy has a variety of negative or positive impacts on almost all industries, including the mobile communication industry.
In the mobile phone industry chain, the technical delivery steps and new product launch rhythms of major head brands are dynamically adjusted. As for whether it is "the times create heroes" or "heroes create the times", there is no difference in essence, and big brands need to have their own subjective control. OnePlus, is it a big brand? In fact, OnePlus has almost all the genes of "big brands" from the beginning of its birth, and Liu Zuohu's "no will" for so many years has also made this highly personalized niche brand have a "big brand" pattern.
Of course, from the day when OnePlus officially returned to the "Euroga System", this "big brand" pattern will begin to recover, or "new definition". The first work formed by this gesture is the OnePlus 10 Pro, an undoubted real seasonal flagship machine called "Real to Fame" (its Slogan is "10 to, Deserved"). Compared with its predecessor flagship OnePlus 9 Pro, the protagonist appearance time this time is two months earlier than that, which is a move to respond to the situation, but it is still fully prepared.
After all, OnePlus' annual flagship has a very clear market value and practical significance for both Liu Zuohu and its own brand personality. After Liu Zuohu returned to OPPO, he participated in the birth of OPPO's first folding screen model, Find N, and for his inner meaning of "heart and liver baby" meaning of the annual flagship of the OnePlus brand, there was no moment of relaxation or slackness.
In terms of practical significance, we can indeed fully feel Liu Zuohu's almost obstinate insistence on "everything will not be done" in the OnePlus 10 Pro. Of course, the word "compromise" in Liu Zuohu's mind is not impossible, but it must be reasonable, there must be tension and relaxation, and there can be a positive trend in giving and obtaining - and that is not called "compromise", but "the wisdom of trade-offs".
It is worth noting that as the first annual flagship product of OnePlus in 2022, the OnePlus 10 Pro has also undergone subtle changes in its own product definition. I remember when we talked about the OnePlus 9 series last March, we mentioned that "because Hasselblad joined the cooperation", OnePlus "changed, but stuck to the faith", and thus strengthened its own "image ideal". Nowadays, one plus 10 Pro certainly has not given up this core competitiveness of imaging, but we obviously feel that its interpretation of the "all-round state" is more specific, and subjective feelings and objective configurations can confirm this conclusion. Later, let's talk about it.
Yes, this is the "game console"
We mentioned at the beginning that OnePlus has begun to have its own new definition of the market focus of the model, and in the "all-round state", the attributes of the "game console" are improved or even amplified in an orderly manner. In a strict sense, this is also another clear-purpose sublimation of the "no will" tradition. Of course, in fact, the flagship of each head brand can run all kinds of games at present very smoothly, and there will be no particularly obvious shortcomings, after all, everyone has eaten through this market, and has also eaten through the underlying technical aspects, and the foundation of the computing power platform is also consistent. But precisely because of this "commonality", how to make the difference of experience, in the details of the "cut" out of the different sense of experience, is a big test.
OnePlus, a maverick brand for many years, of course, has its own persistence and means, it knows how to maintain its own style as much as possible under the infinite proximity of "e-sports mobile phones" (extreme, but narrow audience). For example, high image quality and high frame rate have always been the development direction of mobile games, but the corresponding thing is that once the graphic rendering efficiency is not high, the supply of system resources is not controlled, and the power consumption surges to make the endurance worse, and the extra heat causes stuttering.
In this regard, OnePlus, together with the advantages of the world's four major R&D bases, spent two years to launch a new shocking upgrade "HyperBoost Full Link Game Frame Stabilization Technology", through graphics heterogeneity, GPA limit frame stabilization, O-Sync overclocking response and other core technologies to enable oneplus 10 Pro to achieve frame rate stability, startup block, and smooth control of the game experience. This is what needs to be talked about in detail, let's go through them one by one.
First, let's talk about graphic heterogeneity, which is a reinforced "nuclear bomb-level graphics processing technology". As we all know, the essence of game rendering is that the CPU sends graphics instructions to the GPU, and after the GPU draws, it is finally displayed on the screen. In this process, the process of the underlying CPU issuing graphics rendering instructions to the GPU is private.
Traditional graphics processing technology can not judge the specific content of the instruction, can only be the visitor does not refuse to dry their heads, but with the game's continuous improvement of computing power requirements, such a way has caused the GPU to be tired and unable to complete the task well, but there is overheating or waste of resources. The essence of graphics heterogeneous technology is to refine and disassemble the graphics instructions sent by the CPU to the GPU, and then rationalize and redistribute them. For example, in the "Glory of Kings" team battle, the mobile phone can more accurately know what elements cause the stuttering, whether it is a hero or a big move, and even flowers and trees, by carefully arranging the priority of element rendering, thus greatly reducing the load.
OnePlus' official test results show that graphics heterogeneous technology can increase GPU computing efficiency by 36%, and reduce the power consumption of a single game by 5%, which is a result that is perceptible to our users. Therefore, OnePlus has also become the second manufacturer in the domestic brand that has the ability to perform surgery on the chip command.
Second, there is the GPA limit stable frame. Since last year, "lock frame" has been very popular (began to determine this way earlier), "lock frame" is also the most common way for mobile phones to achieve temperature control in the game scene, all manufacturers on the market, including game phones, are such an operation mode, but the frame rate in the process of locking frames will appear to be a very serious cliff-like decline, which often occurs when the game is most intense, and the player's game experience is extremely unfriendly.
OnePlus 10 Pro is equipped with GPA limit frame stabilization technology, which intelligently adjusts the CPU and GPU frequencies through "AI frame stabilization ability accumulation" and "system resource refinement management", and finally realizes game limit frame stabilization. Some data show that under the high-resolution "Peace Elite" continuous 1-hour test state, the one-plus 10 Pro long-term frame rate is stable, and there will be no cliff-like decline.
TIPS
Obviously, behind the GPA limit stable frame is a powerful AI model, which is a set of four major R&D bases in North America, Taipei, Shenzhen and Nanjing, which integrates a variety of AI algorithms, two years of uninterrupted iteration and self-training, through 50,000 lines of code and tens of millions of automatic learning data volume. The entire model monitors the user's behavior, device temperature, power consumption, and the situation on the field in real time, and makes thousands of decisions per minute to continuously adjust the device parameters to get an optimal frame rate and achieve an almost linear gaming experience. According to official data, the actual test of the League of Legends mobile game from full power to shutdown, 5 hours average frame rate of 87.9 frames, the highest temperature is only 43.3 degrees Celsius. At present, the GPA extreme stable frame has been adapted: "Glory of the King", "Peace Elite", "Original God", "After Tomorrow", "Crash 3", "League of Legends Mobile Game".
Then there is the O-Sync overclocking response, the slogan of "with chiral Android first", since OnePlus has put forward it, it is also confident. After all, chirality is a key factor that directly affects the gaming experience in addition to mobile phone performance, and after the industry has increased the screen sample rate to the extreme, the most effective way to solve the control delay is the delay applied to the display. O-Sync overclocking response from the one plus 10 Pro LTPO 2.0 quality screen, to the exclusive customized low-latency chip, and then to the in-depth self-development, breaking through the Android limit of the low-latency algorithm, the combination of software and hardware to greatly improve the synchronization speed between the screen and the processor, so that the touch response speed is faster, the release of skills and shooting in the game scene will be faster and more sensitive. We think of the O-Sync overclocking response of the previous OnePlus 9 Pro, which is very well received, so this time naturally "there will only be better improvements".
According to official test data, when O-Sync overclocking response is turned on, the delay applied to the display is miraculously shortened by more than 30ms. For example, in the FPS game "Peace Elite", O-Sync overclocking response can achieve faster speed of opening the sniper scope, the enemy entering the sniper scope faster from outside the scene, the earlier detection of enemy targets, faster attack, easier to hit the target, and higher hit rate. Compared with the OnePlus 9 Pro, the O-Sync overclocking response installed on the OnePlus 10 Pro achieves 60Hz, 90Hz full scene coverage, and low-brightness scenes are also supported. At present, the adapted games include mainstream games such as "Glory of kings", "Peace Elite", "League of Legends Mobile Game" and so on, which basically meets the needs of 95% of players.
In addition to the above three technologies, oneplus 10 Pro also supports super lightning launch, game update package pre-download, game background update, 1000Hz extreme touch response, 4D vibration and so on. In short, there is no short board in our gaming experience at all - if you have to say a "short board that is not a short board", that is, "if this screen is straight screen, and other qualities remain the same, it is perfect" (reader message).
"10 full, 9 beautiful"
This subtitle is not a simple harmonic stem. To put it bluntly, last year's OnePlus 9 Pro, with Hasselblad's strong assists, is very advanced in terms of topicality and practicality on the video side. After all, the top seasonal processor platform, excellent screen quality, exquisite body design language, these elements of each competitor will also have their own presentation, only Hasselblad cooperation, at that time, oh no, so far has been exclusive.
However, under the overall product line layout idea of a larger pattern, the change of the pattern will appear more dynamic and objective. For example, the annual flagship of OnePlus in the past can spend more attention on the refinement of the product itself, without considering too much of the market quirk of "pandering for the sake of pandering". But the time has come to 2022, the increasingly white-hot market competition pattern and the increasingly volatile supply chain situation, so that every brand with a story has to give priority to how to continue to tell the story with realistic measures - to maximize the effectiveness of all resources and forces, OnePlus originally has this capital. OnePlus 10 Pro seeks "complete", and its "traditional advantages" on the imaging side will naturally not be absent, but it seems to be in line with the current technical competitive characteristics.
Last year, when we talked about the OnePlus 9 Pro, we talked about the cooperation between "image gourmets" and "mobile cutting-edge". Leica and Zeiss have a platform to show their fists in Chinese mobile phone brands, and the arrival of Hasselblad, the giants of the traditional imaging industry are also the main force. Therefore, when OnePlus officially announced a three-year strategic cooperation agreement with the image legendary brand Hasselblad and joined hands to build a Hasselblad mobile phone imaging system, we were all concerned about "what Hasselblad, which has a deep-rooted format camera in the eighty years of history, can bring to OnePlus's image ideal."
This year has passed, the answer is actually there, and the answer is not bad. Today, the OnePlus 10 Pro is equipped with Hasselblad Image 2.0, the second-generation mobile phone imaging system jointly created by OnePlus and Hasselblad, giving full play to the potential of the rear triple camera system. In terms of main photography, it continues to use the exclusive 100 million customized 48-megapixel IMX789 sensor, with a 1/1.43-inch oversized bottom, and can take stunning photos at any time. In Hasselblad Pro mode, it is also capable of capturing RAW format photos with up to 12 bits of color depth. In addition, OnePlus' self-developed capture engine comprehensively reconstructs the computational photography algorithm of IMX789, greatly optimizing the situation of shooting paste of moving objects, and increasing the film completion rate by 65% compared with the previous generation of products.
Ultra-wide angle using the customized Samsung 50mp 150 ° ultra-wide wide angle lens, is currently the widest ultra-wide angle on the smartphone, telephoto support 3.3x optical zoom, support OIS optical image stabilization and electronic image stabilization. In terms of video, it supports 120 frames of 4K, 24 frames of video in 8K, and this time also brings a movie mode that supports LOG. With it, videos can also be easily color-graded like photos.
On the basis of this hardware, more in-depth soft tuning is meaningful. In fact, last year's strategic cooperation between OnePlus and Hasselblad has marked a more competitive step on the road to refreshing the new standard of mobile imaging - after all, it will invest 1 billion yuan in the imaging field in three years (remember that OnePlus has established four major image research and development centers around the world, "140-degree ultra-wide matrix camera", "human eye bionic focus", "freeform mirror" and so on are its results), which is a big deal for a small but never "will not" OnePlus.
This time, the "Hasselblad Natural Color Optimization 2.0" of the OnePlus 10 Pro is the first topic we should talk about. We all know that bright colors are the easiest to please the eyeballs, but advanced colors must be naturally restored, not thick and not light, and Hasselblad is the color originator of the ultimate natural restoration. In the past year, the OnePlus camera team, which has gained experience on the OnePlus 9 Pro, has continued to work with Haselblad to continuously polish the color reproduction accuracy of the OnePlus 10 Pro, so that the "Hasselblad Natural Color Optimization" has a further presentation. The result is color optimization for over 500 core scenes, further matching Hasselblad's signature color performance in core colors.
We have also talked before that it is an extremely complicated thing to restore the Hasselblad color on the mobile phone, first of all, the primary color calibration of the hardware module, which is a difficult and extremely easy to deviate. Camera modules, chip platforms, lensless field of view, coating, light transmittance, any slight change, will lead to the final color value is not accurate enough, and finally the OnePlus camera team achieved sensor level matching Hasselblad color. After calibrating the color benchmark, it is to define its own color style, and each color is not independent, so OnePlus has developed its own accurate color compiler. When adjusting red, almost only the red is changing, without disrupting the natural reproduction of other colors. At this point, OnePlus has fully mastered the ability to accurately control color automation.
By the way, the OnePlus 10 Pro also adds full-focal length pro mode shooting and super RAW+ that incorporates computational photography capabilities. In Hasselblad Pro mode, we can manually adjust almost all parameters such as ISO, white balance, exposure time, focus, etc., and all three rear cameras are adapted. This is the "second-generation Hasselblad professional model" that we need to emphasize.
In addition, "full link billion colors" is also worth mentioning. In terms of data specifications, "Hasselblad Image 2.0" can achieve 10-bit processing of shooting-storage-display full link (this is a set of well-received "ancestral skills"), we can directly use the OnePlus 10 Pro to shoot photos with 10bit color depth, that is, 1 billion colors, which is 64 times the 8-bit color of ordinary mobile phones, making the photo color richer and the transition smoother.
In terms of post-color grading, "master tone" is a topic that must be talked about. This time, OnePlus cooperated with Yin Chao (Hasselblad ambassador, only 12 in the world, and the only one who Chinese, one of the leading figures in our domestic fashion photography, good at portrait shooting, presenting oriental aesthetics and Zen culture), Ben Thomas, David Peskens, three Hasselblad master photographers, to create portraits, scenery, fairy tales three Hasselblad master style tones, so that users using one plus 10 Pro can get an exclusive blockbuster with a "sense of mastery" with one shot.
Among them, Yin Chao can take photos with story and dot film, and the portraits taken are more textured, story and high-grade; Ben's fairy tale tone has a warm candy color style, which can turn the daily casual beat into a fairytale color; David brings a shadow tone that is completely aimed at blue and green, which is very suitable for shooting scenery and animals and plants in nature.
Finally, we would like to emphasize its 150° ultra-wide angle configuration. The OnePlus 10 Pro's rear image component includes a Samsung JN1 ultra-wide-angle 150° lens, which is the widest ultra-wide-angle smartphone ever, with a field of view close to that of action cameras such as the Go Pro. Of course, in the past few days, there are also two new models configured with this lens, the public feedback is very good, since OnePlus is well versed in the way of imaging, naturally it will not waste this good lens.
OnePlus 10 Pro's ultra-wide angle supports 3 modes, the default 110 conventional mode, can achieve distortion correction, edge portrait perspective correction; 150 ° mode is designed for large scenes, compared to the conventional 120 ° ultra-wide angle, 150 ° can capture the picture area is about 4 times more, you can get a significantly broader field of view; in addition, support fisheye mode, by simulating the circular fisheye lens effect, take personalized photos, funny avant-garde.
As for "Hasselblad Shutter" (with the feedback of the X-axis vibration motor, simulating The signature shutter sound between Mirrors) and "Hasselblad Watermark" and other "perceptible pleasure during shooting", the OnePlus 10 Pro also continues to retain, which is the charm of brand cooperation.
Let the eyes continue to experience the "no will"
It is an objective fact to say that the cost of the LTPO screen of the OnePlus 10 Pro is very high. However, it also has the top qualities that meet this high cost, and it is no problem to say "one of the best" modestly and "we are the first" with confidence. After all, it's reasonable to spend on how much money to do — note that the one-plus 10 Pro's chain pricing is actually lower than that of the one-plus 9 Pro, which is more worthy of praise.
We know that since the "billion screen" topic in the first half of 2019, OnePlus has successfully labeled itself as "the screen must not be". In the first half of 2021, Hasselblad's blessing made "the image inevitably not be" become another label of OnePlus. The latter, already talked about before, now start talking about the screen.
OnePlus' R&D team can be undistracted, and "focusing on making it simple" is what they are good at. But what we're more likely to perceive is that OnePlus has made bolder changes to the OnePlus model than ever before. This change is positive and interesting for consumers, and in the eyes of the industry, it is full of familiar feelings - more mature and attractive technology accumulation has been fully used on the OnePlus 10 Pro. For example, the image component mentioned earlier, or the screen we are going to talk about now.
From the first top 2K+90Hz screen in the industry of OnePlus 7 Pro, to the 2K+120Hz pupil screen on the OnePlus 8 Pro to continue to lead, and then to the 1Hz ~ 120Hz LTPO free high frame screen pioneered by one plus 9 Pro, after several generations of tuning, OnePlus has continuously interpreted the "outstanding visible to the naked eye" through exclusive customization of industry-leading screen panels and continuous evolution. Today, on the basis of maintaining the top screen hardware, based on the accumulation of oneplus in the screen experience in the past few years and a number of exclusive innovative technologies, the oneplus 10 Pro has carried out a comprehensive reconstruction of the screen tuning, which has greatly improved the screen experience in terms of fluency, accuracy, clarity, comfort, sensitivity, and power saving.
OnePlus 10 Pro still uses Samsung's top screen this time, with 2K+ ultra-clear resolution, 120Hz LTPO (2.0) adaptive screen refresh rate, native 10bit color, 1300 nits peak, HDR10+ certification, and 1000Hz extreme touch sample rate (in some game scenarios), the display and touch are excellent.
You should also remember that the LTPO panel technology of the previous OnePlus 9 Pro took into account smoothness and energy consumption through variable refresh rates. Last year, with the gradual popularization of LTPO screens, OnePlus also continued to evolve in screen technology, OnePlus 10 Pro is equipped with LTPO 2.0, three breakthrough technologies continue to lead the development direction of LTPO, and also obtained the "adaptive display refresh rate performance" five-star product certification of Thiel Labs.
From the actual experience, one plus 10 Pro realizes mainstream video, music, novels and other applications to adapt to 120Hz high brush, watching videos, brushing comments, browsing the web smoothly without smear jitter problems. Even, on different pages and different animations of the same APP, we have different adaptive strategies. When the video is embedded in the information stream, it will switch to the video refresh rate of 30Hz, when brushing the information stream, it will switch to 120Hz, when the animation stops, it will be reduced to 1Hz, and when typing, it will be switched to 120Hz, and the typing gap will be rapidly variable to within 10Hz. In this way, we can achieve the right refresh rate for each switch, the smooth place is smooth, and the power saving place is power saving.
What is more interesting is that compared with the 30Hz AOD (information screen mode display) commonly used in the mobile phone industry, the OnePlus 10 Pro industry debuted 1Hz AOD, supporting 25 AOD patterns with ultra-low frequency and low power display at 1Hz. In the screen scenario, the power consumption of a single scene is reduced by more than 30%.
We know that the obvious advantage of LTPO technology is the variable refresh rate, but when the frequency conversion from high (low) refresh rate to low (high) refresh rate, there will be a delay, for some sensitive users, it is possible to perceive the visible stuttering. The OnePlus 10 Pro adjusted the latency directly from the regular 700 ms to 75 ms, while the recovery from 1 Hz to 120 Hz achieved almost zero latency.
In terms of light perception, the OnePlus 10 Pro debuts dual brightness color calibration, on the basis of conventional high brightness calibration, a new low brightness calibration is added, based on indoor (100nit) and outdoor brightness (500nit), the screen color is calibrated. 100~500nit brightness interval interpolation processing to ensure color consistency in the full brightness interval.
Inheriting "aesthetic achievements" and "self-breakthrough"
To tell the truth, if you do not consider the process of material treatment and the color art presented, just the first impression, the appearance design style of the OnePlus 10 Pro this time is very different from the same style of the "Huantai Series", but it is still in line with the "aesthetic color". It can also be said that it is in a process of self-breakthrough.
We believe that the OnePlus 10 Pro continues the design and process accumulation of OnePlus in the past 8 years, including three-stage buttons, comfortable and crisp button feel, the bottom horizontal centering of the opening, while using a new design language, 3D ceramic camera module area extended to the aluminum alloy frame, the two are one, tightly seamless, in the homogenization of the mobile phone, there is an unforgettable recognition. It can be said that the OnePlus 10 Pro is the most pioneering and exquisite product design language of OnePlus to date.
This time, the OnePlus 10 Pro has a boundary-breaking black and blue color. "Boundary Breaking Black" adopts the exclusive "Silk Glass" process 3.0, which achieves a delicate touch like silk on the surface while maintaining a matte texture that does not stick fingerprints. "All Things Blue" adopts a new "astral glass" process, so that it does not stick fingerprints at the same time, in the dark green frosted surface, inlaid with countless shining highlights like starlight.
It is worth mentioning that for the first time, the protection area of its rear lens adopts 3D nano-microcrystalline ceramic materials, with a production cycle of up to 25 days and 20 complex processes, showing a dazzling texture while comprehensively improving the protection intensity. It's also the most luxurious lens protection design of a OnePlus phone to date.
In the case of equipped with a large screen, a large battery, a large sensor and a comprehensive flagship configuration, the thickness of the OnePlus 10 Pro is only controlled at the "8mm" level, and the weight is more reasonable, which is an excellent standard in the flagship products of the same level.
Platform, "calm" and "swift" with the times
Old rule, there's nothing to say in this chapter. The new Snapdragon 8 that conforms to the characteristics of the times, we don't need to talk about the technical parameters, in short, the appearance of the flagship is like this. As a mainstream brand flagship equipped with the new Snapdragon 8 platform, the release time of the OnePlus 10 Pro is very timely, concentrated in January of the New Year, and the competition is booming, and OnePlus is also put into the battlefield in a timely manner. You know, last year's OnePlus 9 series equipped with the Snapdragon 888 platform was relatively late in rhythm, although good food is not afraid of late, OnePlus has the habit of "fine craftsmanship" (of course, including Hasselblad's cooperation and adjustment factors), but this has also formed many objective factors that hinder the follow-up market strategy.
Nowadays, OnePlus, which has a deeper understanding of the market, also has a more overall consideration, and this annual flagship new Snapdragon 8 model also needs to be arranged with a new rhythm. Moreover, the OnePlus 10 Pro itself also places special emphasis on the ultimate game experience, such as "gathering the advantages of the world's four major R&D bases, spending two years to launch a new shocking upgrade HyperBoost full-link game frame stabilization technology, and entering a new inflection point in the game experience of the Android camp." Based on all these requirements, its foundation is also the computing power system built around the new Snapdragon 8, of course, this also includes the full blood version of UFS3.1 and LPDDR5, which is an "iron triangle combination".
Example diagram of a OnePlus 10 Pro heatsink
In order to cooperate with the new Snapdragon 8 platform to be able to "go all out" at all times, the design ideas and stacking sincerity of each family for heat dissipation components are also beyond doubt. OnePlus is naturally a good player, and it can even be said that the "three-dimensional space cooling system" adopted by the OnePlus 10 Pro this time has achieved the strongest heat dissipation efficiency in the history of one plus models.
The overall heat sink area of this thermal component reaches 34119 square millimeters, which is comparable to 55% of the size of A4 paper. In addition, in the selection of heat dissipation materials, OnePlus 10 Pro selected five-fold heat dissipation materials such as VC vapor plate, copper graphite sheet, graphite sheet, heat dissipation silicone and metal frame, and adopted the heat dissipation structure of the heat source dispersion stacking design to form a heat dissipation channel. According to official data, measured in the same scene of 60 frames of 1-hour "Original God", the OnePlus 10 Pro is 1.6 degrees Celsius lower than a certain released competitor model on the same platform, but the frame rate is 6 frames higher on average. This achievement is something we can perceive.
To say more, in view of the high-quality cooperation between "Euroga System" and MediaTek, perhaps we can see the OnePlus model equipped with the flagship platform of Tianji later, whether this situation will exist, and time will give the answer.
In fact, compared with the three major pieces of the flagship computing platform with "no suspense", the surprise of the OnePlus 10 Pro in terms of battery and fast charging is more obvious. The 80W wired flash charge specification (11V, 7.3A) is the highest power charging solution ever recorded by OnePlus – so OnePlus calls it "SUPERVOOC". At the same time, as an inevitable configuration of the flagship level, the OnePlus 10 Pro also has airvooc 50W wireless super flash charge. Recalling the Warp Charge 50 Wireless, the new generation wireless charging technology of the OnePlus 9 Pro before, it has left a good impression of the experience, so this time it will naturally "go further".
Our measured data shows that the 5000mAh battery of the OnePlus 10 Pro is charged from power off to full, and the 80W wired charge is about 33 minutes, while the wireless charge can also be charged 100% in 48 minutes. It is basically consistent with the official data of OnePlus. Another longitudinal comparison, before the OnePlus 9 series equipped with a 4500mAh capacity dual battery and the "ultra-full" Warp Charge 65T wired flash charge, fully charged in 30 minutes (25% faster than the same 65W OnePlus 8T), and the OnePlus 10 Pro battery capacity is 10% larger, the actual charging time increased by two or three minutes, very reasonable. Of course, operations such as "playing while charging, the speed is still very fast", it can still be achieved, which is the "basic quality".
"The strongest linear motor to date", arranged!
In the first chapter of the previous chapter, when we talked about the "game console" features of the OnePlus 10 Pro, many of the soft bonus characteristics mentioned were actually inseparable from the support of a hardware, that is, the X-axis linear motor. OnePlus is famous for its "pickiness" and "stubbornness" in details, and you should remember that the previous OnePlus 9 Pro also emphasized the importance of "custom X-axis linear motor" alone, and obviously this time OnePlus has a stronger choice.
The purpose of this new custom X-axis linear motor equipped with one plus 10 Pro is of course to make it have a stronger, crisper and richer vibration in multiple scenes such as incoming calls, incoming messages, typing, photography, and games. This custom motor is up to 360 cubic millimeters in size, which is about 14% better than the OnePlus 9 Pro. In terms of vibration, it is 47% higher than the OnePlus 9 Pro (in fact, the OnePlus 9 Pro has impressed us very much), which is the largest motor vibration in the current Android mobile phone.
In terms of sensitivity, this motor relies on electromagnetic force drive, compared to the past pure electric drive, start and stop is very fast, typing delay as low as 5ms, is the strongest choice for android phones at present, even if the "hand speed party" typing fast can also maintain hand vibration.
On the basis of powerful hardware, one plus 10 Pro also adapts to the O-Haptics vibration system, which is a global vibration system, adding more than 130 kinds of vibration effects (a total of more than 170 kinds), such as when the system interface has a switch, click on the switch, we can feel a very light and subtle vibration; and when typing, its vibration feel is more crisp and clean, grainy, as if touching the mechanical keyboard. The shutter button on the camera also achieves a comfortable and crisp shutter feel.
In addition, the OnePlus 10 Pro has matched the 4D game vibration experience with rich effects and diverse scenes through cooperation with the game official, for example, in "Peace Elite", the 4D vibration can achieve vibration feedback in different game scenarios including footsteps, glass breaking, gunshots, vehicles and so on. It can be said that the 4D vibration sense can provide different real-time haptic feedback in a richer and more three-dimensional scene, which is more realistic and more delicate, so that the game experience can be fully upgraded.
By oneplus' own definition, the OnePlus 10 Pro is no longer limited to the number of vibrations, but provides a full-scene vibration feedback. At present, the 4D game vibration sense has supported the high-quality vibration experience of Peace Elite and Glory of Kings. This is also a supplement to the content of the previous "Console" section.
Continuing the "universe" constructed by ColorOS
OnePlus' R&D team can be undistracted, and "focusing on making it simple" is what they are good at. But what we're more likely to perceive is that OnePlus has made bolder changes to the OnePlus model than ever before. This change is positive and interesting for consumers, and in the eyes of the industry, it is full of familiar feelings - more mature and attractive technology accumulation has been fully used on the OnePlus 10 Pro. In addition to the benchmark areas such as screens and batteries mentioned earlier, the system level is precisely more worthy of further investigation.
The previous H2 OS interface still makes OnePlus's mobile phones the "best system experience choice" in addition to "non-Google native phones". When we talk about the OnePlus series models, we have analyzed the topic of the system in detail many times, but in the domestic market, it is still necessary to localize the operation and application habits to add icing on the cake. Last year, the OnePlus 9 series made a heavy decision after the "Euro-Canadian System" - equipped with ColorOS 11, which is deeply integrated with H2 OS, continuing the extreme smooth premise of the system, fully updating the design, convenient functions, game experience, and system fluency, and adding oneplus features. Today, that task is naturally entrusted to ColorOS 12 — and the OnePlus 10 Pro is the first model to have ColorOS 12.1 built into the factory.
On ColorOS 12.1, AI storage compression adds dynamic memory compression and unified memory management technology, which can achieve the smooth effect of heavy load scenarios by expanding the available memory of the system and strengthening the management of memory applications. After laboratory testing, with the blessing of AI storage compression, the cache performance of background applications is increased by 30%, the available memory is increased by 20% in heavy load scenarios, and the process avira is reduced by 70%. At the same time, in terms of AI resource scheduling, ColorOS 12.1 timely schedules related UX processes that affect the user experience, such as sliding and clicking, to ensure a smooth experience. After laboratory testing, with the blessing of AI resource scheduling technology, the fluency of the whole machine is increased by 6%, and the daily frame drop rate is reduced by 10%.
ColorOS 12.1 also adds a new system-wide full-scene coverage translation capability, the new free translation integrates the translation range of full screen and selection, and users can quickly translate up to 8 languages for full-screen or partial content. When translating full screen, the translation progress scrolls in real time with the screen, resulting in an immersive translation reading experience without distractions. Wherever you read, you translate. It is currently available Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French, German, and Italian. In addition, such as carry-on card bags, cross-screen interconnection, Omoji image, etc. will not be discussed.
Other details are added
In terms of network configuration, the 2×2MIMO dual antenna supports 2.4G/5G and supports Wi-Fi 6; 4×4 MIMO standard LTE supports high-order modulation, up to downstream Cat18/upstream Cat18 (1.2Gbps/200Mbps).
Dual stereo speakers (earpiece position and bottom position) support Dolby Atmos; the Haptic vibration motor is still standard on both models, and in addition to vibration intensity, the Haptic vibration motor is also deeply optimized for all-scene applications. Finally, the NFC function is not absent, which is the inevitable of the flagship machine.
EF reviews
Including Liu Zuohu, no one wants to always position themselves as a niche brand, even if it is for the sake of excellence and not to compromise on anything, the original intention is also to achieve "my ingenuity is unique, you support" of the upper volume. In the past, OnePlus and Liu Zuohu, the label of "not going to be" is obvious, and it has also shaped the inherent "pride" of the brand. Of course, there is no problem with sticking to principles. But the reason why a wise man is a wise man depends on whether he can "move with the times and move according to the situation." From the body of the OnePlus 10 Pro, we feel the change of the definition of the annual flagship of the year, and the "all-round flagship" is dialectically presented in the posture of "the middle way". It must be understood that the true "mean" is a very advanced inscription for a concrete product, not a pejorative meaning.
"He who is also the Tao, must not depart from the Tao, but can be separated from the non-Tao." This middle way is not empty talk, it is a return to the original, truly understanding the truth of all things. A product that can follow the laws of the market and the needs of the audience, from the previous "maverick niche arrogance", its product itself can fit the definition of "demand-oriented" - that is, we often say: strong and easy to use. What one plus 10 Pro represents is the opening of the oneplus brand in 2022, the ruler for defining its own flagship in 2022, and the pole of the "OCA system" in the top market of "double fist battle". Therefore, we think that the price strategy of the OnePlus 10 Pro is no problem, and it is worthy of what OnePlus said is "deserved", which is more in line with the "very good" of our theme. As we said earlier, compared with the OnePlus 9 Pro, the price of the OnePlus 10 Pro has not only dropped month-on-month, but even lower than the new Snapdragon 8 model with the same configuration of Xiaomi and iQOO, which is the "great sincerity" that we did not expect before.
Regarding the performance, characteristics and experience of one plus 10 Pro, we have made a very detailed analysis, and the definition of "all-round state" is a flagship machine attitude in line with the future direction of one plus, and it is also the key for one plus to continue to impact the high-end model market of more than 5,000 yuan. Of course, from the perspective of aesthetic texture, the OnePlus 10 Pro has taken a "big step" that is different from previous products, and some people think that its style changes too much. However, we believe that OnePlus's decision is precisely the embodiment of market awareness and confidence in the definition of its own brand.
In 2022, if OnePlus wants to start to go out of a different route from the previous style, it first needs to complete the "gesture recognition" on this annual flagship. By the way, there will be more "different from usual" but "'ten' in the good" models in the next one plus, and there will be obvious market exploration measures (even more pragmatic than last year's one plus 9RT), we will wait and see.
