OnePlus 10T 5G: Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 fuels this beast for ultimate performance

Every few months OnePlus comes up with a new smartphone that understandably generates a lot of hype. This time, it’s the OnePlus 10T 5G flagship that is ready to arrive to take its place alongside the OnePlus 10 Pro. Looking at the specifications and features that have been revealed so far, the OnePlus 10T 5G sure is shaping up to be yet another powerful flagship phone from the brand. Not only is the device powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset, but it also gets a host of other features under the hood to make it a fast and smart performance beast. If you want to know exactly what kind of performance to expect from the OnePlus 10T 5G, look no further. We break it down for you right here.

Flagship chipset for high-end performance

The 4nm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 is the best that Qualcomm has to offer in 2022 and sure enough, OnePlus has chosen it to be part of the 10T. This also makes it the first smartphone from OnePlus to come equipped with the said new flagship SoC.

To recall, the OnePlus 10 Pro featured the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip and was already an incredibly powerful and power-efficient device. As if that wasn’t enough, the new processor powering the OnePlus 10T 5G provides 10 percent better CPU performance and 30 percent improved power efficiency over its predecessor. And gamers will be pleased to know that there’s a 10 percent increase in GPU clock speeds and a 30 percent reduction in GPU power consumption as well. This extreme jump in the SoC’s already strong performance has been made possible by Qualcomm’s updated Kryo cores.

There’s no doubt that OnePlus 10T 5G users will have access to ultra-fast speeds. Multitasking promises to be a breeze thanks to this CPU and running the latest, graphics-intensive games will be a joyful experience. All this while getting improved power efficiency means that the phone will be easy to recommend to regular as well as power users.

Rich storage and memory

The Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset is paired with up to 256GB of internal storage and up to 16GB of RAM. Moreover, this is UFS 3.1 two-lane storage and LPDDR5 memory, and here’s why that matters when it comes to performance. The two-lane UFS 3.1 storage brings significantly faster write speeds into the picture and also leads to a drop in power consumption levels. As for the 16GB worth of LPDDR5 RAM, it allows the phone to suspend over 35 applications at once for faster, smoother, and uninterrupted usage.

Largest and most advanced cooling system ever

With this much horsepower under the hood, the OnePlus 10T 5G has what it takes to deliver sustained performance over long hours and run the best, most graphically intensive games out there. And if you’re worried about the phone heating up during such heavy usage, well, the company has you covered there as well. The phone is equipped with OnePlus’ largest and most advanced cooling system to date.

Firstly, this cooling system has a total cooling area of over 37,000mm2. Occupying the space in this massive area is the new cryo-velocity vapour chamber, which comes with a total of 8 dissipation channels and a redesigned micron-level 3D capillary dissipation structure. This combination offers up to twice the dissipation ability of traditional smartphone vapour chambers. OnePlus 10T 5G users can rest assured that even during their long gaming sessions, the device will not suffer any performance hiccups as any heat generated will be efficiently dealt with by this cooling system.

Gaming to the max

The OnePlus 10T 5G will provide plenty of aid to gamers with the help of its HyperBoost Gaming Engine. As you may know, this engine features a set of software additions that have a huge impact on the overall gaming experience. First among these features is the General Performance Adapter (GPA) Frame Stabilizer, which makes sure that if frame rate drops do occur, they happen gradually rather than instantly. Moreover, it also keeps a constant eye on device performance and leverages AI computing models to precisely adjust CPU and GPU resources accordingly.

Secondly, there’s AI System Booster, which is part of the HyperBoost Gaming Engine and contributes towards supporting the system to run smoothly even when the load is high. Most of the features of this engine won’t even come into use if you’re playing your regular casual games. But the fact that they still exist on the device tells us that OnePlus has pulled out all the stops while creating this exquisite handset.

Conclusion

All the features mentioned above prove that the OnePlus 10T 5G is an all-around performance device. The Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip, UFS 3.1 storage and LPDDR5 RAM are just some of the features that make the OnePlus 10T 5G an ultimate performance beast. But the phone isn’t just about its processor. There are other exciting features in store as well, such as super-fast charging, high-end cameras, and an attractive design. It may very well turn out to be the best phone in its price range when it comes out on August 3rd. The main launch event will take place at the Gotham Hall in New York but Indian fans needn’t be disappointed. The company will be holding a Premiere event at the Bengaluru International Exhibition Centre, apart from hosting a live stream on its official YouTube channel.
