OnePlus is all set to introduce its mid-range smartphone, the 10R, in India on April 28, alongside Nord CE 2 Lite 5G and Nord Buds. The products will be launched via a virtual event that will be live streamed on YouTube starting 7pm. Notably, the OnePlus 10R will be a rebranded version of OnePlus Ace that will be introduced in China on April 21.
Why does this story matter?
OnePlus is aiming to strengthen its portfolio of mid-range smartphones in India with the upcoming products. According to the rumors, the OnePlus 10R will arrive in India as a rebadged OnePlus Ace, which itself will be a rebranded version of Realme GT Neo 3—the world's first smartphone with 150W fast-charging technology. However, the OnePlus phones will have a different rear design.
The handset may feature a 120Hz AMOLED display
The OnePlus 10R will have a centrally-aligned punch-hole cut-out, slim bezels, and an in-screen fingerprint scanner. On the rear, it will have a rectangular camera unit, paired with dual-LED flash. The handset is expected to pack a 6.7-inch Full-HD+ (1080x2400 pixels) AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ support, and Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection for the display.
It could flaunt a 50MP main lens
The OnePlus 10R will have a triple rear camera arrangement, that may comprise a 50MP primary snapper, an 8MP ultra-wide sensor, and a 2MP macro lens. On the front, it is rumored to sport a 16MP selfie camera.
MediaTek Dimensity 8100 processor will power the device
The OnePlus 10R will be fueled by a MediaTek Dimensity 8100 processor, which may be mated with up to 12GB of RAM and up to 256GB of internal storage. The handset will boot Android 12-based ColorOS 12. It is expected to arrive in two variants: a 4,500mAh battery model with 150W fast-charging support and a 5,000mAh battery variant with 80W fast-charging technology.
OnePlus 10R: Pricing and availability
