GoPro Hero 10 Black leak reveals images and specs

By Sakshi Udavant August 31, 2021

Images of the GoPro Hero 10 Black leaked yesterday, giving us our first look at images of the device along with specs. WinFuture, a German publication that previously leaked information about the redesigned Hero 9 Black in August last year was also the source of the latest leak. A report on the website suggests the Hero 10 Black looks similar to its predecessor (Hero 9 Black) in terms of size, design, and external accessibility features. The only design difference so far can be seen in blue accents that spell out “10 Black.”

The major hardware changes we’re seeing are improvements to processing power with the new GP2 processor and an improved image sensor that beefs up from 20-megapixels to 23-megapixels The Hero 10 Black is also expected to support 5.3K video recording at a smooth 60 frames per second (fps), 4K videos at 120 fps, and 2.7K videos at 240 fps. The last one can help you create high-resolution slow-motion clips. This is a considerable improvement over previous models that only supported 5K recording at 30 fps and 4K recording at 60 fps.

Marketing materials seen by WinFuture hint that Hero 10 Black’s in-camera software stabilization will see an improvement to offer “gimbal-like stabilization”, after being upgraded to HyperSmooth 4.0 and TimeWarp 3.0 for time-lapse videos. Users can also enjoy an auto-upload function to transfer files online at a much quicker speed. The Hero 10 Black also supports 1080p live streaming, the same as previous models. Finally, the Hero 10 Black is said to offer 10 meters deep housing, touchscreen controls, and voice accessibility. Users can also access the webcam mode along with SuperPhoto and HDR options. These features combined with the improved recording capability have the potential to be a gamechanger for streamers and on-the-scene photographers.

The company hasn’t made a formal announcement so we don’t know how much the Hero 10 Black would cost. The previous edition, Hero 9 Black was released at $450 and is currently priced at $400 (excluding the subscription), so we can expect a number around this range, perhaps a bit higher. Given the scale of the recent leaks, the launch of the Hero 10 Black is likely to be imminent.

OxygenOS 13 beta for the OnePlus 10 Pro is here, and you can download it now

OxygenOS 12 and ColorOS 12 Home screens.

Earlier this month, OnePlus revealed the latest iteration of its custom user interface -- OxygenOS 13 -- along with the launch of the OnePlus 10T. The company announced that an open beta of the OS would soon be available for the OnePlus 10 Pro, followed by the 10T sometime later.

Now, as per a OnePlus Community post, the first Open Beta of the OxygenOS 13 is out for the OnePlus 10 Pro smartphone. Here are some interesting new changes you'd see in the new OS.

The OnePlus 10 Pro is now $799 — and a great reason to avoid the 10T

OnePlus is ready to put its latest budget flagship - the OnePlus 10T – on the shelves in the U. S. and elsewhere. For an asking price of $650, you get some impressive tricks such as support for 125W charging, the fastest chip on Qualcomm’s menu, and a 120Hz OLED display (among other things). From the looks of it, the OnePlus 10T seems like a true return to form for the brand. I think it's a compelling retelling of OnePlus's flagship killer journey in the industry. Especially compared to the 10 Pro from earlier this year.

The quest for making an all-out Android flagship ballooned the price tag past the budget of OnePlus’ most loyal audience. The OnePlus 10 Pro grabbed the spotlight with its Hasselblad cameras and striking design, but its starting price of $899 was tough to swallow. With the OnePlus 10T, a few corners have been cut (read: no wireless charging, no alert slider, and less serious camera hardware), but the $650 asking price is too tempting to miss out on this phone. But only if the OnePlus 10 Pro did not exist.

OnePlus 10T display, camera, and battery specs revealed in giant leak

The OnePlus 10T's specs have leaked in full, just one week before the device's official August 3 reveal. Although it may be a little disappointing for OnePlus, the leak paints a pretty picture of the 10T as a solid flagship that should be able to compete with the best that the mobile industry has to offer. While all leaks should be taken with a grain of salt, the new information seems to line up with other rumors we've seen, making it feel pretty plausible.

According to the report on PriceBaba, the OnePlus 10T will feature a 6.7-inch Fluid AMOLED display with an in-screen fingerprint scanner. The screen supports both HDR10+ and a 120Hz refresh rate. In terms of resolution, the screen has a 2412 x 1080 setup with a hole-punch 16-megapixel selfie camera in the top center of the screen. The rear features three additional cameras, including a 50MP Sony IMX766 main camera, an 8MP ultra-wide featuring a 120 FOV, and a 2MP macro lens.
