The Chinese firm OnePlus remains in its own right one of the most important on the current mobile scene, despite the ups and downs it has gone through. In fact, the OnePlus 10 Pro was launched very recently, and we now wonder if an Ultra model would make sense to return to the top.
The manufacturers’ ranges have evolved quite a bit in recent years, offering us more and more models, in some cases, the high-end of certain brands come to have four different models. Especially due to the entry on the scene of the Ultra models, which have become the first swords of any manufacturer, so we wonder if a OnePlus 10 Pro of this depth would make sense.
A model with an even better camera
As we say, now manufacturers usually offer in addition to the standard model, a cheaper Lite, a larger Pro and an Ultra with the best camera in the range. Although the camera of the OnePlus 10 Pro is one of the best we have seen so far this year, it is clear that it would have gone to improve it, and offer a camera worthy of an Ultra model . But let’s put ourselves in context, in the environment of this phone, to get an idea of what this Ultra model could offer.
And it is that as you know OnePlus belongs to the BBK group , which has its main brand in Oppo. That’s where we have to look to ask ourselves if the OnePlus 10 Pro Ultra could offer something more than the brand’s current high-end model. And the reality is that yes, especially if we look at phones like the Oppo Find X3 Pro, which has the brand’s best-equipped camera. In addition, the possibility of launching an Ultra model with a Hasselblad camera seems to us an excellent opportunity for OnePlus, this collaboration should result in even more ambitious mobiles in this regard.
In the case of the Find X3 Pro, we can see that it has a better telephoto lens, and a higher resolution main sensor, as well as a microscope lens capable of offering 60x magnification. These are differential improvements that would perfectly justify an Ultra model. Therefore, the answer is yes, an Ultra model of the OnePlus 10 Pro would make sense, especially since its camera could be even better to be truly that of a flagship, and more so with the Find X5 Pro about to hit the market. with an even better camera.
It’s possible?
Everything is possible, but in this case it is highly unlikely. And we are not saying this because OnePlus is not capable of creating a mobile with these characteristics, but because we believe that at a strategic level it is something that does not suit the BBK group. This clearly stands out as a truly premium brand to Oppo , and therefore the most advanced model of the group in terms of camera must be in the Find range.
With an Ultra model there would no longer be a Flagship Killer , because it would be impossible to launch an Ultra model for less than 1,000 or 1,200 euros. So yes, there is scope and potential for a OnePlus Ultra model, but strategically it is unlikely to be viable, with other brands like Vivo and Realme also having a good market position.
