OnePlus replies to 10T & 10 Pro bend test failure

OnePlus replies to 10T & 10 Pro bend test failure
  • OnePlus 10T broke in half at the same weak spot as the 10 Pro.
  • In lab tests, the 10T can withstand up to 45kg of external force.
  • This month will see the release of new phones, and there may even be more 10T variants.

YouTuber JerryRigEverything earlier this year demonstrated to the world how easy the OnePlus 10 Pro can break in half despite being a flagship device.

A few months later, the OnePlus 10T met the same demise and broke in half at the same weak spot as the OnePlus 10 Pro.

Company Statement

This naturally led to worries regarding the OnePlus 10’s durability, and the company has since issued a statement in response to clarify the situation.

“The OnePlus 10T meets or exceeds all of OnePlus’ extensive durability testing procedures, this includes a pressure test where the device is suspended while weight is applied to its center on both its front and back. The OnePlus 10T has an enhanced structure engineering design and can bear over 45kg of external force in this test at OnePlus’ lab.”

Excuses?

In lab testing, OnePlus asserts that their phones can withstand up to 45 kg of external force, however this is of little use in daily life if the phone breaks in half with bare hands.

Although Zack’s durability is exceptional, there is still no justification for flagship phones to malfunction, especially given that they cost more than twice as much as mid-range and low-cost phones.

Since the current generation of OnePlus phones plainly lags behind the competition, we hope that the company will take this chance to improve its durability in the future.

This month will witness the release of new OnePlus Nord phones, and there may even be more OnePlus 10T variants this year, maybe including the OnePlus 10T Pro, but nothing has been officially confirmed.

Although the plain OnePlus 10 hasn’t been announced yet, there is a good probability that it will have the same design as the OnePlus 10 Pro and 10T, which gives little reason to believe that it will be durable.

OnePlus 10T’s battery size verified; fast charging than 10 Pro

OnePlus 10T
  • The 10T will have a 4,800 mAh battery, 200 mAh less than the battery in the 10 Pro.
  • It will enable 150W charging, which can charge the battery from 0 to 100% in 19 minutes.
  • The phone will also preserve 80% of its initial capacity after 1,600 charge cycles.

The OnePlus 10T will be on sale next week, and the company has already shared details about its design and important specifications, including the SoC, cameras, RAM, storage, and screen refresh rate.

Now, only a few days before the announcement, OnePlus has provided battery information for the 10T.

According to OnePlus, the 10T will have a 4,800 mAh battery, which is 200 mAh less than the battery in the 10 Pro but offers quicker charging.

The OnePlus 10T will enable 150W charging, which, according to OnePlus, can charge the 4,800 mAh battery from 0 to 100% in just 19 minutes. The OnePlus 10 Pro supports 65W charging in North America and up to 80W in other territories.

Although OnePlus just released the OnePlus Ace and OnePlus 10R with those charging rates, the 10T is not the first OnePlus smartphone to handle 150W charging. Both have 4,500 mAh batteries inside, while the 10R 80W has a battery with a capacity of 5,000 mAh.

Nevertheless, the 10T will not charge at the fastest supported speeds in all areas, just like the 10 Pro. It will be 125W in North America, but it won’t make much of a difference because the 10T will only take a minute longer to charge from 0% to 100%, according to OnePlus.

The 150W SUPERVOOC Endurance Edition technology only supports charging outlets rated at 220V or above, and in North America, the majority of outlets are only rated at 110V or 120V.

This results in a slower charging speed in North America. In areas where the charging outlets are rated at 220V or more, the OnePlus 10T you buy in North America will still be capable of up to 150W of power.

OnePlus claims that regardless of where you live—in North America, India, or Europe—you will only be able to charge your 10T at 125W or 150W if you use the included SUPERVOOC cable and 160W power adapter.

This is because the phone uses a 128-bit encryption algorithm that only detects genuine SUPERVOOC cables and adapters to ensure secure charging. However, it won’t come as a surprise if the OnePlus 10T can be charged at 150W speeds using the 160W converter that is included with the Realme GT Neo 3 150W.

Speaking of adapters, the OnePlus 10T will come with a 160W charger that supports the PD charging protocol so you can swiftly charge your tablets, laptops, and mobile gaming consoles.

In its blog post, OnePlus also discussed the 10T’s Smart Battery Health Algorithm and Battery Healing Technology, which together can preserve 80% of the battery’s initial capacity after 1,600 charge cycles.

On August 3, the OnePlus 10T will make its formal debut. It is confirmed to have a 120Hz screen, the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC, and three rear cameras (a 50MP primary camera, an 8MP ultrawide camera, and a 2MP macro camera).

The smartphone will ship with 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage, and it will run OxygenOS 13 out of the box. There will probably be other RAM possibilities, though this is not yet verified.

Additionally, it is unknown whether OnePlus will release a 10T with a larger battery and a slower charging rate than the 10R, or if there will only be one model.

The OnePlus Ace Pro, which is anticipated to be the OnePlus 10T for the Chinese market and run ColorOS rather than OxygenOS, will also be unveiled by OnePlus in China on the same day.
