M1 Chip

We had all the rumors of Apple Air 5 with an A15 Bionic chip but when it launched, it came with an M1 processor like in the iPad Pro. It is an octa-core chipset that shows better performance than the last year’s iPad Air by 60%. Previously, there was an A15 Bionic chip on the Apple iPad Air 4.

For audio, there is a loudspeaker system with stereo speakers for crystal clear sound. It supports Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, and Dolby Atmos. Unfortunately, there is no 3.5mm headphone jack for music.

The OnePlus 10 Pro has finally launched in the Nepali market. It has just started the pre-orders here.

OnePlus 10 Pro is powered by Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset based on a 4nm manufacturing process. You can have an 8/12GB LPDDR5 RAM configuration with 128/256GB of internal storage. We are a little disappointed since the Geekbench results had us thinking about the 512GB option as well. And since this is the flagship 2022, it is a little disturbing.

The handset has a new feature for gamers called Hyperboost. This allows users to “overclock” the CPU for more power than ever. Here, the cooling system covers 340 sq. cm in the area which is a nice improvement. On the software front, there is ColorOS 12 in the Chinese market which will be replaced by OxygenOS12 in the global market.

Display

Moving on to display, there is a 6.7-inch curved 2K AMOLED display with a 120Hz of refresh rate. This is a flexible refresh rate which means you can adjust it according to your preference from 1 to 120Hz. This was possible because of the LTPO 2.0 backplane technology. Above the screen, there is a 32MP Sony IMX615 sensor inside the punch-hole cutout.

The device weighs 200.5 grams while the dimensions remain 163×73.9×8.6mm. There is an aluminum frame that binds the Corning Gorilla Glass Victus at the front and at the back, there is a regular Corning Gorilla Glass. There are two color options available on the phone – Black and Green.

It has a 48MP primary lens with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), a 50MP ultrawide lens, and an 8MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. The last one also has the support of Optical Image Stabilization. And like last year’s OnePlus 9-series, the 10 Pro also comes with Hasselblad color calibration.
