When it comes to the display, the OnePlus 10 Pro relies on a 6.7-inch LTPO AMOLED display with HDR10+, which allows a dynamic refresh rate of 1 Hz to 120 Hz. The smartphone’s display edges are rounded and a screen-to-body ratio of 92.7% is achieved. The display is protected by particularly robust Corning Gorilla Glass Victus.

New Hasselblad camera in the OnePlus 10 Pro

Android and OnePlus fans were most excited about the smartphone’s new camera system, however. After the cooperation with Hasselblad last year was only based on a changed color scheme, the new Hasselblad camera in the OnePlus 10 Pro is now also supposed to improve noticeably in terms of technology.

A 32-megapixel front-facing camera is located in the upper left corner of the display. OnePlus relies on Sony’s IMX615 sensor. The 10 Pro relies on a triple camera system on the rear. The manufacturer installs a 48-megapixel, 1/1.43-inch Sony IMX789 with OIS in the main camera.

It is supported by a 50-megapixel ISOCELL JN1 as an ultra-wide-angle camera with 150-degree field of view, as well as an 8-megapixel OmniVision OV08A19 telephoto lens with OIS and 3.3x optical zoom.

So in terms of bare specs, not much has changed compared to the OnePlus 9 Pro. The resolutions remain the same, although new, better sensors are used. All three lenses also allow capturing 12-bit RAW images and videos with up to 10 bits.

New, on the other hand, is RAW+ mode, which offers a wider dynamic range and better noise reduction. Added to this are other Hasselblad-exclusive features, including Natural Color Optimization 2.0 and a manual video mode that lets you choose ISO levels, shutter speed and more.
