Technically, OnePlus didn\u2019t go anywhere. Especially in Europe and India, it\u2019s been very much present over the past few years, putting out midrange devices that perform better than their price points indicate. But in the US, it feels like the company hasn\u2019t quite had the same profile in recent years. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s changing with the OnePlus 10T, a $649 phone focused on delivering high performance. It\u2019s a well-defined niche, and the phone follows through on its promises. It isn\u2019t everything for everyone, and that makes it good.<\/p>\n

If there\u2019s one standout on the 10T\u2019s spec sheet to know about, it\u2019s the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 processor. It\u2019s a highly capable chipset \u2014 the very best you can find in an Android phone in 2022. And the 10T has it for less than $700. That tells you a lot about what this phone\u2019s whole deal is. There\u2019s also very fast wired charging on board \u2014 125W in the US, and it only stops there because our power outlets aren\u2019t designed to handle higher voltages. <\/p>\n
