In our OnePlus 10T review, we praise its powerful processor, superb build quality and stunning display. We also found its excellent battery life which lasted nearly 11 hours during testing impressive. We rate the OnePlus 10T 4.5 out of 5-stars overall, backed by our Editor's Choice award.

During real-world use, the OnePlus 10T's gorgeous HDR10+ certified display delivered crisp, colorful content. When capturing images the phone's 50MP Sony IMX766 senor camera produced high quality photos in sharp and colorful detail.

Performance-wise, the OnePlus 10T easily juggled a myriad of tasks without issue. Even with 15 open Google Chrome tabs, a Disney Plus video playing in the background while swiping through Instagram, TikTok and Twitter — the OnePlus 10T was fast and responsive.
