OnePlus continues teasing the OnePlus 10 Pro, this time revealing top specs

OnePlus showed off the OnePlus 10 Pro’s design as part of CES 2022 on January 3, and has now revealed the basic specification of the forthcoming phone. OnePlus’ strategy for the phone seems to be developing into an information drip-feed, as the launch event isn’t until January 11, giving it plenty more time to send out more snippets about it in the meantime.

For now, though, we’ve got the chance to go over the general specifications of the OnePlus 10 Pro 5G, starting with the camera. OnePlus calls it the “second-generation Hasselblad Camera for mobile,” giving us plenty of hope it has worked with the iconic camera maker on both the software and the hardware this time. There are three cameras, a 48-megapixel, a 50MP, and an 8MP, and at least one will come with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS). Somewhere around the screen will be a 32MP selfie camera.

On the subject of the screen, we haven’t seen the front of the phone and OnePlus has not stated the screen size yet either, but does say it will be a Fluid AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate, up from the 90Hz on the OnePlus 9 Pro. OnePlus has fitted the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor with an unspecified amount of LPDDR5 RAM, plus a 5,000mAh battery to the phone. The old Warp Charge name given to OnePlus’s proprietary charging technology has been dropped in favor of Oppo’s SuperVOOC fast charging, which will run at 80W. There’s also 50W AirVOOC wireless fast charging and reverse charging too.

What else? The software will be OxygenOS 12 based on Android 12, there are dual stereo speakers, NFC for mobile payments, and Bluetooth 5.2. The dimensions of the phone give us an idea of how big the device will be, and it appears to be almost exactly the same as the OnePlus 9 Pro, apart from being a very tiny bit slimmer. It’s so tiny — 8.55mm compared to 8.7mm — that you probably won’t even notice.

While it’s great to learn more official details about the OnePlus 10 Pro 5G, what we don’t know is when it’ll be available. It appears the phone will launch in China first, which is where the event will take place on January 11, and an international launch will presumably come later on. Exactly when is a mystery. Perhaps it will be part of any further information OnePlus decides to reveal before the big day itself?

I picked four wireless chargers so you can stop making your iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch fight over one dorm outlet
The best back-to-school wireless chargers for dorm desks, study spaces, and travel
Computer, Electronics, Laptop

A dorm-room desk can disappear surprisingly quickly beneath a laptop charger, phone cable, Apple Watch puck, and the growing collection of adapters required to power them all. Add textbooks and other academic materials, and finding enough room to study becomes the first assignment of the semester.

A wireless charging stand can consolidate several of those cables into one station. It also gives your phone a dedicated place to sit, which helps when you are checking the time or watching a lecture. Every charger here still needs one connection to the wall. So finding a peripheral that works with all of your gadgets isn't just convenient, it's smart. I picked four models ranging from an inexpensive two-device stand to a fast 25W wireless charger capable of powering an entire Apple setup.

Your backpack needs one of these power banks before classes start
I picked 4 power banks that can survive your longest day on campus
Anker Nano 3-in-1 10,000mAh portable power bank for iPhone.

Finding an empty outlet on campus can require more patience than registering for a popular class. Common spaces like libraries or lecture halls rarely have sockets in the right places. So a good power bank gives you far more freedom. It gives you the option to choose the quiet corner of the library, work outside between classes, or even finish an assignment without worrying about your laptop's battery.

The right model depends on what you carry, since a phone needs far less power than a MacBook or gaming laptop. I picked four Anker power banks that cover everything from everyday phone charging to running several demanding devices at once.

The Minimal Phone 2 looks dramatically better than the original, and I’m genuinely here for it
Plastic is out, metal is in, and Minimal Phone 2's renders suggest the digital detox phone concept finally has the hardware to match its ambition.
Electronics, Mobile Phone, Phone

I've been following the Minimal Phone since its initial crowdfunding days. The first iteration had the right idea trapped inside the wrong body, I’d say. Plastic build, no 5G, an underwhelming camera, and e-paper ghosting that frustrated early adopters; all these issues kept the phone from reaching a wider audience. 

Now, founder Armen Youssefian has posted what appears to be a 360-degree render of the Minimal Phone 2 on X, and from what I can see, the team has done its homework.
