This round of new machine wars at the beginning of 2022 is quite interesting, and the head manufacturers have participated in the launch competition of the new generation of platforms, and have come up with new mobile phones with brand characteristics and differentiation. But at the same time, they also make people feel that they have reservations, and products with more important status and technological innovation are still behind.
In previous years, OnePlus, which was not in a hurry to launch the first products, released new products at this time, and it was also crowned with the name of Pro, which was only available in the past top products. Can the OnePlus 10 Pro take on a good brand image, and what does the transformation that happened on this phone mean? This experience sharing will give you an initial understanding.
Good looking but not exactly good looking look
Everyone who picks up the OnePlus 10 Pro will definitely give priority to the camera area, and the lens cover made of 3D ceramic seems to be a deliberate reminder to pay more attention, which is in contrast to the previous generation of products that try to reduce the sense of presence. It has to be said that such an approach is a challenge for the aesthetics of all users who want to start, and they need to cross this hurdle to make a final decision.
Objectively speaking, we need to look at the "loose page" that this netizen jokingly called: it does have a lot of details, the delicate texture of the ceramic material is fully transmitted, and the connection between the lens cover and the extended area of the metal frame is also tightly sewn, just like the formula that is established. However, the direction of the formula argument seems to be a bit problematic, the element arrangement is slightly too strong, and the "P2D50T" logo does not match the Hasselblad logo.
Returning to the overall mobile phone, it can be seen that the industrial design investment of this product is not low, and the creation of high-end mobile phones should have the texture as the goal and be practiced - every detail has been considered and polished, worthy of the 5,000 yuan or so price range it anchors. If you have to nitpick, then you have to point out that the components in the camera area are more layered, and it is easy to hide dirt and dirt after long-term use.
Lei Technology got the "All Things Blue" color scheme, and the previous low-saturation green has a visible continuation with the naked eye, but the fingers can clearly perceive the texture of the back cover of the scrub with the hand. This color scheme does not look as shiny as the rendering, but can be classified as low-key but has a lot of details, and people will not worry about the glass slipping and falling easily when holding it.
Like the previous Pro suffix products, the OnePlus 10 Pro is equipped with a curved AMOLED screen, 6.7 inches, 3216 * 1440 resolution, support 120Hz. This screen brings people a quite transparent look and feel, the default color mode has no obvious perceptible color cast, the most important thing is that the curvature and area of the surface part are acceptable, and the visual impact and the operation impact during the game are not large.
Interestingly, OnePlus chose to continue the E4 material instead of the E5 material used by new products at the same price in the same period, and exchanged the relatively low 800nit global excitation brightness for better color cast performance. As for the polished LTPO 2.0, the visual feeling is actually no different from the ordinary high-screen mobile phone, the focus is on the endurance guarantee under a similar experience, see the endurance section at the end.
Powerful yet underutilized performance
Regardless of the design, performance and gaming experience are the most mentioned points in the official promotion of the OnePlus 10 Pro, which has changed slightly from the previous light and smooth, stylized image route, and also made me wonder what kind of height this phone can reach in the new power point.
The performance test part is normal, in a word, it is at the mainstream level of the Snapdragon 8 platform mobile phone: Antutu V9.2.8 has a running score of 930,000 points, 3DMark's Wild Life Extreme test is 2607 points, and the corresponding stress test stability is 64.3%. However, it should be noted that the fever detected by the system is milder, almost stuck with a 45 ° C red line that is not hot.
The actual game performance is worth mentioning, "Glory of the King" is still only 90 frames at the time of deadline, but compared to other Snapdragon 8 mobile phones that will automatically change back to 90 frames after opening 120 frames, the long-term running fever is only reduced from 90 frames to 80 frames. The performance of Peace Elite is similar, the highest 120 frame gear has not been opened, but there will be no sharp frame drops for a long time.
The experience of "Original God" is even more interesting, initially trying to stabilize the game at the upper limit of 60 frames, the frame rate does not fluctuate sharply after the fuselage heats up, but comes to the average line of 45 frames of continuous operation, which is not particularly smooth but at least stable. On the whole, the OnePlus 10 Pro has chosen a stable game scheduling strategy, giving priority to ensuring a long-term smooth experience, and not rushing to exchange high frames with obvious heating.
The OnePlus 10 Pro is a consistently stable phone that still performs reliably when playing games regularly. However, this approach makes people a little unfinished, obviously equipped with a very high upper limit of hardware performance, but for various reasons limited to not the ultimate output gear, if you can achieve ultra-high frame rate games and long-term stable coexistence through continuous update optimization, it is even better.
On the bright side, the OnePlus 10 Pro uses less extreme performance release and LTPO 2.0 and other "open source throttling", in exchange for a good battery life performance in 2K screen mobile phones: after each 1 hour of king glory (90 frames), peace elite, Bilibili, local music and 30 minutes of 1090P30 frame recording, there is still about 44% of the power left, basically can put down the anxiety of going out to use battery life.
There are some trade-offs in charging specifications, the standard is the A2C charging cable 80W SuperVOOC flash charge, and third-party high-power charging protocol compatibility has declined, but connecting to the computer will be more convenient, the full time in the early 30 minutes. Conditions limit us can not test the 50W wireless charging performance of one plus 10 Pro, and the compatibility with third-party wireless chargers that support the Qi protocol is acceptable, which is better in place.
Hasselblad shutters sound good and tactile feedback is surprising
The OnePlus 10 Pro imaging hardware does not pursue an absolute number and maximum sensor area, but uses the IMX789 main camera, JN1 ultra-wide angle and OV08A10 telephoto to form a three-camera system, and the focal length coverage is relatively complete. From the main camera point of view, the image style basically continues the previous route, but the color saturation is relatively reduced, and the Hasselblad shutter sound effect is still so "on the head".
The ultra-wide-angle sub-camera looks like it is not much different from the same specifications in 2022, providing a regular 0.6X ultra-wide and using more formats of 150-degree ultra-wide angle and fisheye mode, which is interesting, but we are more happy to see ultra-wide angles that have improved in correcting distortion, weakening purple fring, and improving clarity. 3.3X telephoto head is rare in the near future, and it is necessary to grasp the spatial relationship when shooting.
Take a quick look at the sample:
OnePlus 10 Pro factory preset system is Based on Android 12 ColorOS 12.1, for the time being has not been able to find a plus exclusive subtle function, meditation mode, time AOD has not yet returned, the biggest customization point stays in the icon and clock widget. In practice, it will be found that the system, including third-party apps, is quite smooth, without a trace of mud and water, and is also superior in the recent new machines.
The smart sidebar and small window that can be based on the scene recommendation function are quite practical, eliminating a lot of operation steps. The tactile feedback brought by the X-axis linear motor is more worth mentioning, the haptic feedback of different intensities and modes is relatively compact and powerful, continuing the linear motor vibration experience of the one plus mobile phone in the past two years, and retaining the uniqueness of one plus different from other brands in the new era.
epilogue
It is not easy to objectively and systematically evaluate the OnePlus 10 Pro.
This phone is not as "ostentatious" as the past Pro suffix one plus mobile phone, to know that one plus 7 Pro led the high brush popularization, one plus 8 Pro achieved a more balanced in the same period, one plus 9 Pro redefined cross-border cooperation, one plus 10 Pro changes will appear to be a lot more bland, so that really want to let people quickly leave memories of the moment, have to take pains on the lens cover.
However, one plus 10 Pro is not a mediocre product, it still has its own aesthetic pursuit, and the texture of the whole machine is also maintained at the level it is at the price point. The performance level is more of a passive choice, because more people really need to be able to stabilize the game and not be affected by factors such as heat, so they tend to retreat to give stability and long battery life.
All kinds of changes, may also be regarded as a microcosm of the relationship between one plus mobile phones and the Oujia Group behind it, one plus from a brand with a lot of independence to a high-end sub-brand of OPPO, how to find the correct positioning and the existing product line to cooperate to meet the demand to obtain the market, has become a new problem. Today's OnePlus 10 Pro is the result of the transformation.
Fortunately, we all know that the OnePlus 10 Pro is likely not to be the brand's only flagship product in 2020, and there may be new products with more breakthroughs in the future. For OnePlus and those who love OnePlus brands and products, that will be the key link to perpetuate various emotions.
