The OnePlus 10T 5G boasts a modern design with its main camera cluster housed in a square module seamlessly integrated into the back, rather than protruding like its predecessor, the OnePlus 10 Pro.
The device features Gorilla Glass 5 on both the front and back (which could be considered a weakness compared to other flagship devices using Gorilla Glass Victus or Victus+), with the black variant sporting a matte finish while the green variant maintains a glossy appearance. Additionally, the frame is made of plastic, contributing to the device's lightweight feel at just 204 grams – comfortable for users to hold and use.

One weakness of the OnePlus 10T 5G is the lack of water and dust resistance, which is regrettable considering Vietnam's hot and humid tropical climate where unexpected rain showers are not uncommon.
2. Evaluation of the OnePlus 10T 5G's Screen Quality
OnePlus equips the 10T 5G with a Fluid AMOLED 6.7-inch display with a resolution of 1080 x 2412 pixels, capable of displaying up to 10-bit colors for sharp, vibrant visuals. Notably, the OnePlus 10T 5G also supports HDR10, HDR10+, and HLG, enhancing the display quality for video content from platforms like YouTube, Netflix, and more.
Of course, the integration of a 120Hz refresh rate display is a highlight of the OnePlus 10T 5G. However, unlike many other flagship Android devices, the 10T 5G does not feature LTPO2 technology. Instead, users can manually set the screen refresh rate to 60Hz, 90Hz, or 120Hz, which might be a bit cumbersome for gamers who prefer a consistent 120Hz refresh rate for smooth gameplay. Nevertheless, for regular usage, setting it to 60Hz provides sufficient smoothness while conserving battery life.
Additionally, the borderless display design with the front camera embedded within and the under-display fingerprint sensor contributes to a comfortable user experience.

The OnePlus 10T 5G is powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor – Qualcomm's most powerful 4nm chip. Paired with the Adreno 730 GPU, ColorOS 12.1 operating system, and Android 12 platform, it delivers impressive processing performance.
Specifically, on Geekbench 5, the OnePlus 10T 5G scores 1321 for single-core and 3907 for multi-core. On Antutu 9, it achieves over 1 million points – a remarkable feat for smartphones in 2022. However, compared to the iPhone 13 Pro Max or Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, it still falls short. Yet, within its price range, such as the iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 12, or Galaxy S22, the performance of the OnePlus 10T 5G surpasses expectations.
Moreover, the OnePlus 10T 5G is equipped with an impressive cooling system that maintains the device's temperature at an ideal level, ensuring consistent CPU performance, particularly during gaming sessions.

5. Review of the OnePlus 10T 5G Battery
The OnePlus 10T 5G is equipped with a 4800 mAh battery – ample for a full day of use. Additionally, it features 150W fast charging technology which can recharge the device from 0 to 100% in just 19 minutes.
Furthermore, the OnePlus 10T 5G integrates a battery management processor, including intelligent diagnostic features to determine the battery's condition and adjust charging modes accordingly. Additionally, it includes 13 temperature sensors to continuously monitor the battery temperature for optimal charging.
With the new cell arrangement architecture, the overall battery capacity of the OnePlus 10T 5G still retains 80% after 1600 charge-discharge cycles, which is quite impressive.
CONCLUSION: Should You Buy the OnePlus 10T 5G?
Clearly, within the price range of 16-18 million VND for the OnePlus 10T 5G in the current market, it stands out for its exceptional performance and battery technology. However, it lacks in camera prowess compared to other phones in its segment.
Therefore, if you're in need of a performance-oriented smartphone for gaming, the OnePlus 10T 5G is undoubtedly an excellent choice.
