The OnePlus 10T isn't representative of the company's best efforts, and this great, similarly priced and specced phone from a lesser-known rival proves it.
Have you heard of iQoo? I’m going to guess you haven’t, so here’s an introduction. It’s a spin-off brand of Vivo that launched in 2019 and is part of the BBK Electronics empire along with Realme, Oppo, and OnePlus.It’s the connection to OnePlus that’s relevant here, because iQoo’s latest phone, the iQoo 9T, goes head-to-head with the OnePlus 10T in price.
Next to the iQoo 9T Legend, the OnePlus 10T looks rather ordinary, and, handling the two together, feels cheaper. Despite that, the two cost about the same. The iQoo 9T’s mix of different textured glass on the back is hard to manufacture, the easy-to-locate power button is a nice touch, and the partnership with BMW Motorsport is unique and cool. No, the big square camera module on the iQoo 9T isn’t very pretty, but the carbon fiber effect under the glass makes up for it.
Previous Next 1 of 6 I really like the photos the iQoo 9T takes. There’s plenty of color , the main and wide-angle cameras are generally consistent, and the 2x optical zoom adds further creative fun. I’ve felt confident taking photos in any environment with the iQoo 9T, and that’s really important. The OnePlus 10T’s camera isn’t terrible, but it lacks features, and the wide-angle camera really lets it down. Give me the iQoo 9T’s camera any day.
After plugging in the iQoo 9T at around 7%, it completed charging in 19 minutes, which is about a minute behind what I’ve seen with the OnePlus 10T. My life isn’t so hectic that one minute will make any difference to it. Overall, the iQoo 9T has been very fast, the screen is very smooth, and the battery life is suitably long for such a capable device. In other words, it matches the OnePlus 10T in these important areas.
I don’t think Funtouch is the best Android-based operating system out there, but it’s no worse than OxygenOS, ColorOS, or RealmeOS. The fact that it’s distinct really helps me warm to it, far more than seeing the same problems across multiple devices from multiple manufacturers.
