Ever since around the release of the 5T (fave.co/3jOggDO), all the way back in 2017, OnePlus phones have been my go-to pick for “best bang for your buck” Android phone. A near-stock OS, solid camera, and sleek designs at mid-range prices helped build a loyal fan base of OnePlus fans. But over the years the cost for each new release has slowly crept up as OnePlus shifted to the flagship space to try and offer a more “premium” experience, and that’s exemplified by the newly announced $899 OnePlus 10 Pro.
With Samsung locking down the majority of flagship Android devices sold in the U.S. it’s a tough market to get into, and one that doesn’t benefit from unique pricing like the mid-range. So does the OnePlus 10 Pro compete? How does it compare to the Samsung’s Galaxy S22 offerings (fave. co/3uNJMzI)? Here are three reasons why I think you might want to look at the OnePlus 10 Pro as your next phone—and one really large reason why you don’t.
