We more or less knew everything about the OnePlus 10 Pro following its China launch, but now we know it’ll be coming to the U.S., the U.K., parts of Europe, and India.

“We’re incredibly excited to bring the OnePlus 10 Pro to India, Europe, and North America alongside the OnePlus Buds Pro in Radiant Silver,” said Pete Lau, founder of OnePlus, in a press release. “With the second-generation Hasselblad Camera for mobile, super-fast charging, and the best performance in any OnePlus smartphone to date, we believe the OnePlus 10 Pro is a well-rounded flagship that is extremely competitive at its price point.”

Like all Android phones wearing a “Pro” suffix in 2022, there is a 6.7-inch QHD AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. There’s also a massive 5,000mAh battery with fast charging, and Android 12 paired with OxygenOS 12.1 is along for the ride as well. It’s powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, and it touts a triple rear camera layout that is the star of the show.

As with the OnePlus 9 Pro, this delightful camera is tuned by camera company Hasselblad, and there’s a 48-megapixel main camera, a 50 ultrawide camera, and an 8MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. Around the front, the OnePlus has a 32MP camera for selfies and video calling. For superfans, OnePlus is also offering a free pair of OnePlus Buds Pro to those who pre-order.

The OnePlus 10 Pro will come in two variants, with an 8GB of RAM paired with 128GB of storage base model in Volcanic Black only for 800 British pounds or 900 euros, and a model with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage in both Volcanic Black and Emerald Forest for 900 pounds or 1,000 euros.

In the U.S., the OnePlus 10 Pro will be available in both Volcanic Blank and Emerald Green in the 8GB/128GB configuration. Colorways will vary by outlet.

If you’re interested in placing an order, OnePlus says the phone will be immediately available for order on Amazon as well as OnePlus’s site. You’ll be able to buy it from  T-Mobile in Volcanic Black from $37.50 a month or for free with eligible trade-ins on the Magenta Max plan. In the U.K., OnePlus will also be available from John Lewis, with pre-orders opening on April 5, 2022.

In the U.S., you’ll be able to pre-order the OnePlus 10 Pro for $899 starting on March 31 from Oneplus.com. Sales will begin online and in-store at T-Mobile, Best Buy, and Amazon on April 14.

OnePlus also announced a new colorway for the OnePlus Buds Pro, making it available in Radiant Silver. It will be priced at 150 pounds, 140 euros, and $150.

OnePlus has seen a transition from a niche enthusiast company to a somewhat mainstream smartphone brand over the years, but jettisoning some of the aspects that brought it cult fame has led to backlash. The company had revised its OxygenOS software to look a lot more like ColorOS, a version of Android that differs from what you’d expect from Google or Samsung and veers more toward (predictably) Oppo. OnePlus has recognized its mistake and hopes to rectify it with Android 13, but it just goes to show the company isn’t the cult darling it once was.

4 big battery phones the OnePlus 13T will need to compete with
OnePlus 13T

People always say that big things come in small packages. That may just be the case for the OnePlus 13T, the first T model in the OnePlus phone line in three years. It's a little smaller than the flagship OnePlus 13 model thanks to its 6.32-inch OLED display and a weight of 185 grams, but OnePlus recently revealed on Chinese social media platform Weibo that it will house (translated) "the world’s first 6,260mAh glacier battery." That breaks the record held by the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro, which had a 6,100mAh battery.

A 6,260mAh battery guarantees a longer lifespan -- and, in turn, more screen time -- for people looking to get their hands on the OnePlus 13T. However, it's not going to be the only phone on the market with a larger-than-life battery. Other phones that have come before it come pretty close in battery size and energy -- the latter of which OnePlus has not given much information of in terms of charging power and speed. Here are four big battery phones that the OnePlus 13T will have to keep up with once it releases.

OnePlus 13T launches with flagship-grade firepower in a compact form

After weeks of teasing, OnePlus has revealed its compact phone -- the OnePlus 13T -- in China. The 13T is OnePlus' response to the emerging focus brands have on thin and light phones, including the upcoming Galaxy S25 Edge and the iPhone 17 Air. Despite its teensy build, the OnePlus 13T packs in plenty of power, including an unrelenting Snapdragon 8 Elite, an immersive high-resolution display, and a large battery unlike other phones of its size.

The biggest highlight is the compact design, opposing the general trend among phones stretching out of hands. Accounting for its compactness, the OnePlus 13T features a 6.32-inch AMOLED display -- compared to the 6.9-inch one used on the OnePlus 13. Even with the smaller size, the display maintains its crispness, with a 1.5K resolution and adaptive refresh rate up to 120Hz. The display supports Dolby Vision and achieves a peak brightness of 2,400 nits.
