In an event last night, OnePlus launched its next premium smartphone for both the international and the Indian markets. The OnePlus 10T finally made its debut and will retail from Rs 49,999 in the country with pre-orders already open.
The OnePlus 10T has been teased over the past few months and there is no surprise at all about the design and the specifications. The premium smartphone will be the third to enter the market with the latest from Qualcomm running the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset. It also says goodbye to the alert slider. Previously, Asus ROG Phone 6 and the iQoo 9T launched as well, the latter being the closest competitor.
And unlike the OnePlus 10R, the smartphone will come with the fastest 150W charger in the box. OnePlus has also made the device enticing for mobile gamers by providing up to 16GB of RAM.
