OnePlus has had a rocky couple of years that brought big shifts in strategy and product lineup. It’s become harder to anticipate what OnePlus will do next, but one thing is for sure — OnePlus phones still draw plenty of attention. Now, ahead of OnePlus launching the OnePlus 10T on August 3, here are all the news and rumors we know so far.
Will there be a OnePlus 10T?
OnePlus has kept us guessing when it comes to the OnePlus 10 series. Whereas in previous years, the brand had always released a “T” version of its flagship phone, in 2022 that was not guaranteed. That’s because the OnePlus 10 Pro launched on its own, leaving the option for a OnePlus 10 to come later.
However, OnePlus would go on to confirm on July 20 that the OnePlus 10T is indeed in the works. So that means you shouldn’t expect a OnePlus 10 at all. In saying so, the company’s product portfolio is broader than ever in 2022, so don’t write off more flagship-level phones this year.

When will the OnePlus 10T release date be?
OnePlus revealed on July 20 that the OnePlus 10T will be launching on August 3 (check out the poster above). The event will take place in New York at 10 AM EDT (7:30 PM IST).
When looking at previous T-series launches, it’s clear that the OnePlus 10T is arriving sooner than expected. This is presumably due to the lack of a vanilla OnePlus 10.
- OnePlus 8T — October 2020 (six months after OnePlus 8)
- OnePlus 7T — September 2019 (four months after OnePlus 7)
- OnePlus 6T — October 2018 (five months after OnePlus 6)
- OnePlus 5T — November 2017 (five months after OnePlus 5)
- OnePlus 3T — November 2016 (five months after OnePlus 3)
What features and specs will the OnePlus 10T have?
Previous T-edition phones brought clear improvements over the “non-T” phone in the series. The picture is a little less clear when it comes to the OnePlus 10T.
OnePlus 10T design
The most notable design — and functional — change on the OnePlus 10T is the lack of a physical alert slider. This was first revealed by leaks, but has since been confirmed by OnePlus. A company representative said that the omission was due to internal space concerns, enabling the company to offer faster charging, a bigger battery, and better antenna signal. This is an especially disappointing development given that OnePlus flagships have had alert sliders since the start.
Leaks from Steve Hemmerstoffer and Yogesh Brar point to a design closely resembling the OnePlus 10 Pro. The large camera module dominates the rear, while on the front, the “major” change is the relocation of the selfie camera to the center of the screen. Appearances deceive, however — the OnePlus 10T will reportedly have a plastic frame instead of aluminum, though the back will still be made of glass. The choice of plastic is curious, given the 10T is superior to the 10 Pro when it comes to some specs.
The OnePlus 10T will be available in Moonstone Black and Jade Green. The former color, along with a sandstone-style finish, made an appearance in the official event poster (seen in the release date section).
