OnePlus 10 Pro’s global launch is still a couple months away

By Prakhar Khanna January 18, 2022

Potential global customers of the OnePlus 10 Pro will have to wait for another couple of months to get their hands on the device. The OnePlus 10 Pro flagship technically launched recently, but it is limited to China and hasn’t yet reached any of the company’s global markets, including the United States. The device is expected to go global by the end of March, which is still a few weeks away.

According to a report from 91Mobiles, the OnePlus 10 Pro has entered private testing in India and Europe. With the 2022 flagship, OnePlus is taking a new approach to launching its devices. Up until now, the company has announced and rolled out its recent flagships in the global markets alongside the China announcement. However, the OnePlus 10 Pro is seeing a new Oppo-style approach of having a staggered release of both details and devices.

The OnePlus 10 Pro features a 6.7-inch 2K Fluid AMOLED LTPO 2.0 display, which comes with a 120Hz refresh rate, Corning Gorilla Glass Victus, and a hole-punch selfie shooter. It also boasts Dolby Atmos, an in-display fingerprint sensor, His-Res audio, and an alert slider. The smartphone runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset, paired with up to 12GB LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB UFS 3.1 storage.

The OnePlus 10 Pro sports a triple rear camera setup featuring a 48-megapixel primary sensor, a 50MP secondary lens, and an 8MP third lens. You also get a 32MP selfie camera. The device packs a 5,000mAh battery with 80-watt SuperVOOC wired fast charging, 50W AirVOOC wireless charging, and reverse charging support. It runs Android 12 OS with ColorOS 12.1 out of the box in China.

Price details are still unknown, but we expect to have more information on that closer to the global launch.

The OnePlus 12R is still one of 2024’s best smartphone deals

OnePlus 12R Genshin Impact Edition in hand.

OnePlus is still quite new to me, as I was a lifelong iPhone user until I joined Digital Trends. However, OnePlus has a pretty solid reputation in the mobile world, and now I can see why, as the OnePlus 12 is one of my favorite smartphones that I’ve used so far this year.

But the OnePlus 12 isn’t the only phone that OnePlus launched in 2024. There is also the more affordable value option, the OnePlus 12R, which even comes in a cool Genshin Impact Edition.

OnePlus surprises us with dazzling Android tablet and smartwatch

OnePlus has launched a new Android tablet and a desirable special edition of the OnePlus Watch 2, both in beautiful color schemes that make us want them both right now. Unfortunately, that won't be easy if you live in the U.S.. The company has announced the OnePlus Pad Go tablet and OnePlus Watch 2 Nordic Blue edition smartwatch at an event in Helsinki, Finland, and both are currently only destined for a European release.

If you recognize the OnePlus Pad Go's name , it’s because the tablet was released in India last year, and it comes in the same stunning Twin Mint color scheme, which is as trendy as it gets. Although the company hasn't been forthcoming with all the details about the tablet, the specifications are unlikely to have changed from the model released in India. It has an 11.3-inch screen with a 2.4K (that’s 2408 x 1720 pixels) resolution, which it claims is currently the highest available on an Android tablet, and a 90Hz refresh rate.

I did a OnePlus 12 vs. OnePlus 12R camera test, and there’s a big difference

OnePlus has had a very solid start to 2024 with the release of the OnePlus 12 and the OnePlus 12R. While both phones look very similar, one is a flagship, while the other is a more budget-friendly option with slightly lesser specs.

Though both devices' cameras appear similar at first glance, they’re actually quite different. In addition to different specs, only the OnePlus 12 has Hasselblad branding, meaning that it has better color calibration, white balance and exposure, and more. In short, photos you take with the OnePlus 12’s Hasselblad camera are probably going to look better.
