The OnePlus 10T won’t have a mute switch — here’s why

If the company didn't reveal a few details early, the 10T wouldn't be a phone from the company. The device's exterior design shows a couple of interesting changes compared to its predecessor. The design of the 10T is similar to that of the 10 Pro, but there is no alert or mute button, nor is there a branded camera system.

The alert Slider is a staple of the flagship phones of the company, giving a quick and easy way to put its phones into silent and vibrate modes. The 10T needed to have enough internal space for other components needed for high wattage charging, a large battery capacity, and better antenna signal in order to be successful, according to the chief designer of the company.

For example, to offer the kind of fast charging speeds that the 10T is targeting with, it had to include two charging pumps, which was a requirement. When playing online games, the company says it improves signal when holding the phone horizontally, which is a benefit.

The alert Slider takes up 30mm2 and is a very small component. To make the device thicker, we would have had to stack the device's board. The compromise that was made was the removal of the sliders.

The omission of a camera system from the 10 Pro is not a big deal, since the impact it has on the other phones has been minimal. tuning the colors from the camera was one of the things that the partnership with the camera company started with. New features this year include support for 12-bit photos with the phone. They are not mainstream essentials.

It seems like it was a necessary compromise to reach the phone's (as yet undisclosed) price, as evidenced by the fact that the Hasselblad branding had gone. The main camera of the 10T will use a 50-MIP Sony IMX766 sensor, which is technically higher resolution than the 48MIP main camera from the 10 Pro, and will support shooting in 10-bit color, as well as improved photography, and the 10T will also have a night

A 6.7-inch display is one of the features that is willing to be confirmed. The resolution and refresh rate have not been announced, but from the images, this appears to be a flat display. The phone will be available in both black and glossy green. The phone will be powered by a new processor.

For now, that is all he is willing to say. We will have to wait for the official launch of the 10T on August 3rd.
