What is the OnePlus 10R 5G Prime Edition?

The OnePlus 10R 5G Prime Edition is a slightly tweaked version of the popular OnePlus 10 Pro that features a 5G modem. The OnePlus 10R 5G Prime Edition is so called because it has a new red color, and also because it will only be sold in India and select markets. Apart from the new hue and the 5G modem, this smartphone shares most of its specs with its non-Prime brother. Let’s take a closer look at what makes this phone different from other OnePlus devices on the market…

5G Speed Test

One of the most exciting features of the OnePlus 10R 5G Prime Edition is its 5G connectivity. We were curious to see how fast this connection will be, so we tested it out in our office. While we were in the same room as the router, we got a download speed of 1.6 Gbps. This is mighty impressive, especially compared to the average download speed in India, which is around 6 Mbps. We also tested it in another room located about 3 meters away from the router, and got a download speed of about 1 Gbps. While this is still quite impressive, we were expecting even faster speeds due to the short distance. We also noticed that the connection got a bit slower as the day went on, and that it was faster when we were stationary rather than walking around. This could be a result of some signal interference that we didn’t notice before.

The OnePlus 10R Specs

OnePlus 10R 5G Prime Edition features a 6.67-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 120 Hz refresh rate and a tear-free experience. The display has a 20:9 aspect ratio. It is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5. The device is powered by MediaTek Dimensity 8100-Max . The 10R 5G has 8/12 GB of RAM and 128/256 GB of internal storage. The device has a dual-band Wifi , Bluetooth 5.2, GPS, GLONASS, Beidou, and USB 3.1 Type-C ports. The phone has a 5000 mAh battery with OnePlus’s fast charge technology. It also has OnePlus’s smooth and accurate optical in-screen fingerprint scanner.

OnePlus 10R Review: Final Words

The OnePlus 10R 5G Prime Edition has a lot to offer, but its price tag is a major turn-off. Users would probably want a device that lasts longer than a day without charging. The 10R 5G comes with a 5000 mAh battery, which is smaller than the one found in the OnePlus 7 Pro. Plus, the device does not have wireless charging and does not support microSD cards. For users who are interested in getting the device, we suggest buying the non-5G variant instead, as the two devices are almost identical.
