OxygenOS 13 is constructed on Android 13, by the means, and with that software program replace not coming till September, I would think about that this new model of OxygenOS is coming later, too.

We’re getting a have a look at OxygenOS 13, with OnePlus’ targets referring to smoothness and consistency of expertise. the new OS options an Aquamorphic design, a brand new visible language which OnePlus says is impressed by nature. From a video that OnePlus aired showcasing OxygenOS 13, I take it to imply that is a brand new shade scheme with icon shapes which might be harking back to droplets.

There’s some design speak about the feel and look of the OnePlus 10T, which to my untrained eye, appears to be like so much like the OnePlus 10 Professional. The telephone includes a unibody design in order that the digital camera array is part of the telephone, not only a bump jutting out. Your shade choices are Jade Inexperienced and Moonstone Black.

Some behind the scenes particulars from the OnePlus 10T launch occasion.

OnePlus hasn’t forgotten about the cameras on the 10T, which includes a 50MP huge angle digital camera, augmented by an 8MP ultrawide angle lens with a 120-degree subject of view. There is a 2MP macro sensor on the again of the telephone, too.

You will not see a telephoto lens such as you did on the OnePlus 10 Professional apparently.

The digital camera presentation was very transient, in case you had been unclear as to the place OnePlus is placing its focus with this telephone.

It is time to speak the show, which is a 6.7-inch display with a 120Hz refresh price. The refresh price can modify between 60Hz, 90Hz and 120Hz, although it’s not an LTPO display so you will not see the refresh price scale down like it does on the OnePlus 10 Professional.

There’s additionally a Battery Well being Engine on the OnePlus 10T, meant to increase the lifetime of the battery. Amongst its options is the potential to cost even in excessive chilly. OnePlus says the battery is nice for 1,600 charging cycles, which ought to reduce degradation over a number of years.

As OnePlus promised, the 10T will characteristic 150W charging (no less than outdoors of North America). That ought to be a brand new velocity file that locations the OnePlus 10T amongst the quickest charging telephones.

Particularly, these charging speeds can ship a full day cost in about 10 minutes, in response to the 10T presentation.

There is a new model of the Hyperboost gaming engine on the OnePlus 10T, with an emphasis on rising body stability and contact responsiveness. In an hour-long session of PUBG Cell, for instance, the body price solely drops barely.

In the meantime, a 1000Hz contact response through OnePlus’ LSTouch know-how, you’ve got received a telephone that will not falter if you’re quickly tapping the telephone’s display.

Some OnePlus 10T specs that could be related to your pursuits…

Turning to multitasking, we’re retaining extra apps open and people apps are taking on extra reminiscence. In response, OnePlus goes to make a 16GB RAM possibility out there with the 10T. There’s an At all times Alive characteristic for the telephone that works with the 16GB of reminiscence, which may hold almost three dozen apps operating in the background at the identical time.

With nice efficiency comes nice overheating, and OnePlus says it’s going to combat that with its new 3D Cooling system.

OnePlus says the cooling space is 64% bigger than what the OnePlus 10 Professional supplied, with the 10T that includes superior vapor cooling know-how. The upshot is that the cooling system in the OnePlus 10T has been optimized to deal with warmth dissipation rapidly. After an hour of gaming, the OnePlus 10T runs a number of levels cooler than competing flagship telephones.

And after a variety of preamble, we’re diving into the OnePlus 10T. Qualcomm’s Chris Patrick is out to debate the chip maker’s relationship with OnePlus. In the case of the 10T, meaning the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1.

The main target of this presentation is on the efficiency enhance the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 gives — 10% CPU enhance and 30% sooner graphics over the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 that got here out at the begin of the 12 months. So we’re actually seeing an emphasis on how the 10T will carry out.

We’re getting a recap of OnePlus’ Burdenless philosophy, which covers the means OnePlus designs and evolves its merchandise. And that leads us right into a video on Oxygen OS, which Anderson says will stay the software program for OnePlus units. (There had been some issues that new proprietor Oppo was going to impose its software program on OnePlus as a substitute.)

Belief the consultants.

Christian Anderson, VP of gross sales for OnePlus North America, kicks issues off with a recap of OnePlus’ 12 months to this point. The upshot: The OnePlus 10 Professional has been a very talked-about gadget, serving to the telephone maker’s gross sales develop. And OnePlus has launched a variety of telephones in the final seven months.

And we’re underway, with OnePlus’ Robin Liu welcoming us to the OnePlus 10T launch occasion.

With the OnePlus 10T launching in lower than 10 minutes, we’re going to spend so much of time speaking about the options included with the telephone. However let’s spend a second reflecting on a long-time OnePlus characteristic you will not discover on the 10T — the telephone’s alert slider.

The alert slider has been MIA from cheaper OnePlus telephones, however the OnePlus 10T is the first flagship from the firm to ship with out it. The slider is kind of a well-liked characteristic with customers, setting OnePlus telephones aside from their Android counterpart.

The explanation for the omission? The big battery, a brand new antenna, and the fast-charging know-how included in the telephone took up a variety of room and sacrifices needed to be made. So au revoir, alert slider, we’ll consider you each time we go to silence our telephone at the movie show.

My colleague Kate Kozuch is one hand at Gotham Corridor the place OnePlus is holding its 10T launch occasion and sends some images of the environment inside the occasion. That is OnePlus’ first in-person launch occasion in two years.

That OnePlus 10T packaging appears a bit cumbersome.

We’re kidding, we’re kidding…

The OnePlus 10T occasion live stream is now live on YouTube (opens in new tab)… form of. It is in countdown mode at the second as we get nearer to the 10 a.m. ET kickoff time. However you’ve got received a web page to bookmark now. We have additionally up to date this live weblog with an embedded feed.

Since OnePlus is something however reticent when it involves discussing new telephones — together with telephones whose launch occasion is lower than an hour away nonetheless — you could find a variety of element about the OnePlus 10T, pre-launch. In actual fact, the launch occasion web page at OnePlus’ web site (opens in new tab) touts a smattering of options, a lot of which we have talked about.

However there’s one we’ve not mentioned — the telephone’s cooling system. On its web site, OnePlus touts the 10T’s “3D Cooling System 2.0” and what a bonus it will likely be for cell players. Protecting telephones from overheating definitely would attraction to players, as a warmer telephone can see efficiency degradation. That OnePlus would come with the cooling system in its promotion efforts means that the 10T could also be positioned as a gaming telephone — or no less than a telephone constructed with players in thoughts.

We have some last-minute information on the OnePlus 10T, and as you would possibly anticipate, it comes straight from OnePlus. The corporate has posted one other deep dive about OnePlus 10T specs (opens in new tab), and this time, the focus is on charging speeds.

Particularly, OnePlus says its new telephone will assist 150W Supervooc Endurance Version, the firm’s quickest charging know-how ever. In response to OnePlus, the 4,800 mAh battery in the OnePlus 10T might be absolutely charged in 19 minutes because of the 150W charging. (Oh, appears to be like like OnePlus additionally revealed the 10T’s battery measurement — and it’s barely smaller than what the OnePlus 10 Professional presents.)

After all, in North America, our 110- and 120-volt shops aren’t any match for 150W Supervooc charging, so the OnePlus 10T will cost at “solely” 125W. Which means it will take 20 minutes to completely cost the telephone, or 1 minute longer than what our European cousins will get pleasure from.

You will get a 150W Supervooc charger and USB cable together with your OnePlus 10T buy, OnePlus says.

Hasselblad has been a big a part of the final couple OnePlus flagship launches, with the Swedish lens specialist fine-tuning the lenses on the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 10, and enhancing a few of the telephones’ picture processing. These particular units didn’t unseat Apple or Google from the prime of the greatest digital camera telephones listing, however they definitely held their very own towards the prime image takers.

So it’s curious that Hasselblad apparently gained’t be concerned with the OnePlus 10T, primarily based on OnePlus’ feedback to The Verge. “[OnePlus] needed to supply an final efficiency flagship smartphone at the gadget’s chosen value level,” chief designer Hope Liu instructed The Verge.

That would imply something, however it seems like OnePlus is placing a premium on boosting the telephone’s efficiency and is much less involved about the digital camera. If that’s the case, it’s an odd alternative, given how essential digital images is to smartphone consumers.

If the OnePlus 10T launch in the present day looks as if the newest in a collection of OnePlus telephone launches, you aren’t imagining issues. There have been a lot of OnePlus handsets rolled out in 2022, as OnePlus has expanded its product portfolio to incorporate funds fashions as properly as flagship challengers.

By my depend, we’ve already seen the OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite, the OnePlus Nord 2T, the OnePlus Nord N20 and if you wish to prolong the search to different markets than the U.S. and U.Okay., the OnePlus 10R. 

In comparison with the days when OnePlus was rolling out one, perhaps two telephones at most, it’s fairly a change. And it places me in thoughts of an editorial my colleague Jordan Palmer wrote some time again questioning if OnePlus is shedding its magic with all these telephone releases.

The big query heading into in the present day’s OnePlus 10T launch is what OnePlus goes to cost for the telephone — an particularly related piece of data in these, our instances of rising prices. For the file, the OnePlus 10 Professional debuted with an $899 price ticket — lower than comparable flagships, however nonetheless fairly expensive to this point as OnePlus units go.

The 10T is meant to have a greater chipset in the type of the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1, however with out the Hasselblad branding for its cameras, it’s potential the 10T might are available at lower than the OnePlus 10 Professional. We definitely would hope for a telephone that’s not more than the one OnePlus launched earlier in the 12 months.

Let’s speak about the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 that OnePlus has confirmed will likely be powering the OnePlus 10T. It’s a step up in efficiency from the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 which you’ll discover in the OnePlus 10 Professional, as properly as the whole Galaxy S22 lineup. However extra importantly, it’s additionally higher at energy administration than that earlier Qualcomm silicon, not that the long-lasting OnePlus 10 Professional actually had an issue with battery life in our testing.

We’ve examined a few Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1-powered telephones already — the Asus ROG Cellphone 6 Professional and the Zenfone 9. Each received glorious marks for efficiency, when you’d like an concept of what we’re anticipating from the OnePlus 10T.

One space that’s price listening to throughout in the present day’s OnePlus 10T launch entails any battery and charging particulars the telephone maker declares for the new gadget — and never simply because that’s information OnePlus hasn’t revealed upfront of the occasion. OnePlus’ energy administration options are all the time of curiosity.

We’re anticipating the OnePlus 10T to retain the 5,000 mAh battery present in the OnePlus 10 Professional — why repair what isn’t damaged, in any case. On our demanding battery take a look at, the 10 Professional turned in a time of 11 hours, 52 minutes with its adaptive show characteristic turned on. Adaptive shows can put a success on battery life, however the OnePlus 10 nonetheless earned a spot on the listing of greatest telephone battery life that we observe.

As for charging velocity, keep in mind that the OnePlus 10 Professional used 80W charging, however as a result of that characteristic didn’t meet U.S. charging requirements, customers in the States needed to make do with a 65W charger. We’re curious to see if that persists with the new telephone.

Good morning and welcome to Tom’s Information’s OnePlus 10T launch live weblog. We’ll be bringing you all the last-minute rumors in the run-up to the occasion, then supplying you with full particulars on the telephone itself as it’s revealed.
