The OnePlus 10R arrived in India in April 2022 at Rs 38,999 and was essentially a rebranded Realme GT Neo 3, sold under the OnePlus name with OxygenOS. It was the first OnePlus with a MediaTek chip, the Dimensity 8100-Max, and it was offered in two versions: a 5,000 mAh model with 80 W charging and a 4,500 mAh Endurance Edition with 150 W charging.

The 6.7-inch flat AMOLED runs at 120 Hz and is bright and colourful. The Dimensity 8100-Max delivers strong, efficient performance that holds up well in games. The 50 MP Sony IMX766 main camera has OIS and takes good photos, while the 8 MP ultrawide and 2 MP macro are average. The boxy design with racing-style stripes, in some colours, marked a departure from the usual OnePlus look.

Competitors included the iQOO 9 SE, the Xiaomi 11T Pro, the Samsung Galaxy A73 and the Realme GT Neo 3 itself. The Xiaomi 11T Pro offered a faster Snapdragon 888, but the 10R was more efficient and charged faster. Critics noted the absence of the alert slider, a long-standing OnePlus feature.
