WIRED Bright, 120 Hz screen. OK battery life with fast wired and wireless charging. Great performance. Solid camera system for photos and video. TIRED Camera system isn't as good as similarly priced competitors, especially in low light.

Night Sight shot with Google Pixel 6 Pro .What brings all of this down is the image quality. OnePlus hasn't changed the main 48-megapixel main camera from last year but says it improved the noise reduction, resolution, and dynamic range. In a vacuum, yes, the results from this OnePlus phone can look very good—and I can see some improvements. But it can fall spectacularly short, especially in low-light scenes with Nightscape mode .

The OnePlus 10 Pro now shoots in 10 bit, which means it can process more colors than ever before, but the caveat is these photos are stored in the HEIF format. I didn't run into too many issues with this, but HEIF isn't supported universally like JPEG. Using Google Photos in a web browser, for example, I couldn't view the 10 Pro's photos, even though they loaded just fine in the mobile app.

Unfortunately, the color science varies quite a bit, which is confounding since the Hasselblad partnership places an emphasis on “true-to-life colors.” I've taken Portrait mode photos where my fiancée's skin tone is far too red and the buildings and sky behind her are unnaturally saturated. In the photo of the church in the gallery above, the spire is light brown and quite accurate on the Pixel 6 Pro, but it's a different shade on the OnePlus.

Results from the 8-megapixel telephoto and 50-megapixel ultrawide cameras also generally don't measure up to competitors. Where the 10 Prodo well is with selfies thanks to the 32-megapixel front camera, the blur effect in Portrait mode, and video capture. But even then, it's a rung lower than the likes of the Galaxy S22.I've only run into two bugs on my OnePlus 10 Pro review unit. Sometimes, the camera app freezes and it requires a full phone restart to get things back to normal.

Outside of that, I've had a pretty enjoyable time with the 10 Pro. I'm nitpicky about the camera, but you have to be when that's the area of biggest focus and improvement on smartphones nowadays. The 10 Pro also has a pretty reliable fingerprint sensor; I love the haptic vibrations that rumble out of it; and I've grown to like the physical mute switch on the side .
