Should you buy the OnePlus 10R?

OnePlus 10R at Rs 28,999 is a decent buy. The performance is capable enough to handle day-to-day tasks like social media, messaging, taking phone calls, and others. The UI is ad-free (for now), which is an important aspect to consider and the bundled 80W fast charging juices up the battery quite fast.

On the flip side, the cameras are not very great. They can click decent photos in good lighting conditions but that’s about it. The phone can’t handle gaming all that well, even when compared to phones that are currently available for under Rs 30,000. If these two aspects don’t matter much to you, the OnePlus 10R is a decent phone to consider.
