OnePlus 10T vs OnePlus 10 Pro vs OnePlus 10R: Design
OnePlus 10T tries to find the right balance between premium and durable. The phone’s back panel is glossy, making it a fingerprint magnet. Even though the build is glass with Corning Gorilla Glass 5 layer for protection, you immediately notice the cost cuts made by OnePlus for this device made.
The front camera is placed at the top centre, and the display is flat, not the curved panel you get with the OnePlus 10 Pro. Between the three, we do prefer the subtle class of the 10 Pro, but in this price range, the 10T feels better than the 10R for us.
OnePlus 10 Pro gets an aluminium frame, and the matte textured glass finish at the back feels a lot better after seeing the 10T. It has a big camera module for the rear cameras that blends into the middle frame. The brand has also added a ceramic lens cover that prevents the sensor from getting any scratches.
The OnePlus 10R goes for a boxy design with flat edges, and a plastic finish at the back doesn’t look premium but is a lot more durable and less prone to fingerprints.
