OnePlus 10 Pro Review: Does it live up to the expectations?
OnePlus has long abandoned its flagship killer approach to smartphones. Their latest and greatest phone OnePlus 10 comes in the backdrop of the company’s merger with Oppo. The OnePlus 10 Pro was released on January 13th exclusively for the Chinese market for the time being. With the decked-out specs, Hasselblad collaboration, and an eye-catching design, there is a lot to get excited about this new phone. Let’s check out the review and price of the OnePlus 10 Pro in Bangladesh.
Key Features of OnePlus 10 Pro
Design and Build Quality
The first thing that comes to mind with the new OnePlus 10 Pro design is that it is almost a Samsung Galaxy S21 but not quite. Interestingly, the device shares a number of elements with last year’s Samsung flagship. And as it would turn out, that’s not a bad thing. The camera module creates a bump that is flush with the sides. It gives the device a somewhat asymmetric look but the quad sensor alignment makes it pleasing for the eyes.
There is Gorilla Glass Victus on the front and proprietary Gorilla Glass on the back. The front and back glass sandwich the aluminum frame in between. At 200 gm, the 8.6 mm thick device is quite hefty. But the premium material and design give a good hand feel.
Read Best Laptops for Graphic Designers in Bangladesh in 2022
The volume rocker is situated on the left with the power button on the right. The alert slider also presents a notch over the power button. Overall, the design is something as expected from a flagship design. It's sleek, balanced, modern, and doesn’t put a strain. Even after using it for a long time.
Display
The display has to be one of the highlights of this device. OnePlus has been using Samsung panels for a long time and the collaboration still stands. The panel used in the OnePlus 10 Pro is an LTPO2 AMOLED panel. This top-of-the-line display is crisp, vivid and a pleasure to look at.
Spec-wise, the 6.7-inch 120 Hz display has a 2K resolution with 525 ppi. The display supports HDR 10 content as well.
Read Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge Review: What’s New?
The LTPO2 technology enables the display to support up to 1B colors. This superfluous display also has a standard 500 nits brightness with a max brightness of 800 nits. However, the display can crank up to 1300 nits depending on the situation. The viewing angles of the device are excellent considering the phone has a curved display. OnePlus has indeed knocked it out of the park with the display.
Camera
The OnePlus x Hasselblad collaboration first saw light with the OnePlus 9 Pro. The camera giant worked with the color calibration of the sensors to bring more dynamic and truer to life colors to the photos. The same technology has been implemented in the OnePlus 10 Pro as well.
The triple sensor camera module has a 48 MP standard 23 mm wide-angle shooter. The main sensor is decked with features like f/1.8. omnidirectional PDAF, OIS, and laser AF. There is also an 8 MP telephoto lens and a 50 MP ultra-wide-angle shooter. The back camera module has a long Hasselblad brand name printed on the side that the same technology from the 9 Pro has been carried forward here.
Read Vivo V23 Pro Review: Does the quality concur with the look?
The main sensor can shoot up to 8K at 30 fps thanks to the gyro-EIS onboard. The pictures came out crisp and sharp in outdoor conditions. However, the most noticeable improvement is seen in the dynamic range. The pictures can be calibrated to either cool or warm tones depending on preference. The ultra-wide-angle can now capture a great range without inducing the fisheye lens effect. The phone performs well at night and has artificial lighting as well.
Then comes the dedicated night mode on this camera. OnePlus was one of the first companies to bring night mode in-camera which uses long exposure to make dark photos bright and sharp. Needless to say, the 10 Pro simply takes the night photography further with the updated night mode calibration.
Processor and Performance
The OnePlus 10 Pro is equipped with the latest chipset Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen1. This is the latest flagship chipset from Qualcomm which is built on the 4 nm structure. The processor utilizes an octa-core setup in 1 3.00 GHz Cortex-X2 and 3 2.50 GHz Cortex-A710 with 4 1.80 GHz Cortex-A510 order. This allows for an insane performance at a fraction of power consumption. The 4 nm architecture has been a large leap in power management for flagship devices.
Read Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G: What Will It Offer?
Flagship phones from one plus have always been one of the fastest and reliable devices for performance. From their superfast UI to lightning-fast app loading, the company has been the poster of pushing the limit of performance. The 10 Pro delivers on that promise. No matter what is thrown at it, the device can perform without a hiccup. And with the added 120 Hz display, the experience is smoother than ever.
However, the only possible downside of this phone happens to be in the OS. OnePlus thus far has had the Oxygen Os which has been one of the most popular android skins. Some even presumed it to be better than the original stock android. But all of that changed with the Oppo merger. The oxygen Os on the 10 Pro has been replaced by Color Os 12.1 based on Android 12. Now Color Os is not entirely bad, but it's miles away from Oxygen Os. People upgrading from previous OnePlus devices might have a hard time making the transition.
Battery and Charge Time
OnePlus has opted for a 5000 mAh battery with the 10 Pro, a welcome upgrade from the 9 Pro. The large battery is complemented by 80W proprietary fast charging which makes charging a lot easier. And if fast wired charging wasn’t enough, OnePlus even introduced a fast 50W wireless charging, a first of its kind.
Read Walton Primo S8 Review: The Local Phone Unveils Powerful Processor
The display is the main power consummator in this device. But a general day-to-day use will see about 5-6 hours of screen on time with a full charge.
Price of OnePlus 10 Pro in Bangladesh
The OnePlus 10 Pro has not been officially released in Bangladesh yet. However, going by the Chinese price of 5,569 CNY, expect the Bangladeshi pricing to be at least over 80,000 BDT initially.
Verdict
To wrap things up, the OnePlus 10 Pro ticks a lot of the boxes. Though the device is a slight increment from the 9 Pro, it brings a fresh design concept with some significant camera improvement. The 8 Gen 1 processor, lighting fast performance and charge speed are sure to nudge any fan of the OEM brand. But the new Os does cast a few shadows on an otherwise top-notch device from OnePlus.

Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge Review: What’s New?
The Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge has been released on January 12, 2022. It launched alongside the flagship Xiaomi 11i which is arguably the best phone yet by the brand. However, the HyperCharge variant has a few smart tricks up its sleeves even though both devices are virtually the same. So, what’s so hyper about the 11i HyperCharge? Let's find out.
Key Specs of Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge
Design and Build Quality
The Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge shares the same DNA and builds as the Xiaomi 11i. As a result, much of this review will be a reflection on the Xiaomi 11i and what’s different from it. The design features a standard glass front and back combination. The front and black glass are complemented by a stainless-steel frame. The frame along with the glass components gives the phone its premium feel and weight. The front glass features scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass 5. The phone is a bit thick at 8.3 mm but the 207 gm of evenly distributed weight gives the phone a nice hand feel.
The phone features a volume rocker and a power button on the right side. There is a 3.5 mm headphone jack on the top with the sim card tray and stereo speaker. There is a USB Type-C port at the bottom with nothing on the left.
Read Vivo V23 Pro Review: Does the quality concur with the look?
The flat and square edges of the phone reminisce of iPhones in every way. But the small punch hole camera on the front acts as the saving grace. Overall, the matte premium finish with nicely placed tactile keys makes this phone a true flagship from Xiaomi.
Display
Xiaomi didn’t leave anything to be desired on the screens. The phone features a 6.67-inch AMOLED panel with a 120 Hz refresh rate. The phone comes at an FHD+ resolution with 1080 by 2400 pixels.
The display supports HDR 10 content. So all the new Netflix releases will look crisper and sharper than ever. The phone has an average brightness of 700 nits and it can peak at 1200 nits under direct sunlight.
Read Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G: What Will It Offer?
The display is as expected from an AMOLED panel. The colors look bright and accurate with no visible distortion. The viewing angles are also excellent on this device. Moreover, Xiaomi offers a range of color calibration options for the display.
Camera
Just like the Xiaomi 11i, the HyperCharge version also has a triple camera module. However, the main camera module shone over anything in their previous flagship iterations and this one is no different. The main sensor is 108 MP f/1.9 26 mm wide. With pixel capture of 0.7 micron and dual pixel PDAF, this sensor is crazy good at capturing the details.
The other two supporting sensors are an 8 MP ultrawide shooter and a 2 MP macro lens.
The main back camera can shoot 4K at 30 fps, 1080P at either 30,60 or 120 fps, and 720P at a whooping 960 fps slo-mo. The included EIS and OIS makes video shooting a breeze without any external stabilizer.
Read Walton Primo S8 Review: The Local Phone Unveils Powerful Processor
The front camera features a 16 MP wide-angle shooter which can take pretty detailed selfies.
Speaking of the camera samples, the sensors nails in outdoor conditions. Details and colors look accurate. Though the sensor has a slight tendency to over-expose the background under direct sunlight.
The phone also does well in artificial and low light. The dedicated night mode does a great job of capturing great details in a dimly lit environment.
Overall, the sharpness and details are commendable. It's nothing to rival the likes of Pixel 6 Pro or iPhone 13 Pro, but it’s the best in its price range.
Read Infinix Hot 11 Play Review with Price in Bangladesh
Processor and Performance
The phone is powered by MediaTek Dimensity 920 5G. The chipset is built on the super power-efficient 6 nm structure. The octa-core processor features 2 2.5 GHz Cortex-A78 and 6 2.0 GHz Cortex-A55 chips for top-of-the-line performance. The processor is complemented by the Mali-G68 M4 GPU. The processor and the GPU do an excellent job of handling whatever is thrown at it. Whether it’s high intensive 3D games or light social media scrolls, this phone is optimized to handle everything with ease. Now there might be questions about the battery life graphics-intensive usage. But the latter point will discuss how revolutionary this device is when it comes to charge and charge cycles.
The phone comes in either 6 or 8 GB RAM coupled with 128 or 256 GB ROM. The Os is the same MIUI 12.5 based on Android 11. When MIUI first launched, there were a lot of complaints about its bloatware and bugs. Not to mention how it significantly slows down the device over time. However, Xiaomi came a long way from that. MIUI has become far better-wise, adding new and innovative features to make the user experience more unique. It will still feel like an iOS rip-off for the new user. But given how MIUI is now, that is not necessarily a bad thing at all.

Battery and Charge Time
Now let us talk about the all-important battery. The name HyperCharge already makes things obvious that there’s something unique about the battery here. From the outside, it might seem like a downgrade considering the HyperCharge variant has a 4500 mAh battery. A good 600 mAh short compared to the Xiaomi 11i.
But this phone has a staggering 120W fast charging. Yes, let that sink in for a moment. While 65W fast charging is becoming a common scene, this is a power jump like no other. Xiaomi advertises that the battery will go from 0 to 100% in just 15 minutes! This completely changes the outlook on how a device is charged and used. Now charging isn’t a time-consuming, hassle-worth task anymore. It's just plug-in, get ready, and the device is already topped for the day.
Price of Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge in Bangladesh
Xiaomi has not launched the Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge in Bangladesh yet. However, going by the Chinese market, the official price at launch should be around 32,000 BDT for the 6/128 GB variant.
Read Xiaomi Civi Review: Does it offer value for money?
Verdict
To sum things up, the Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge is a great phone with some pretty cool features. Xiaomi has already delivered aggressive specs for the price and this one is no different. Be it the build quality, camera, or processor, the HyperCharge shines in every way. And if that wasn’t enough, the 120W fast charging will forever spoil anyone with its ridiculous speed.

Top 10 Health and Medicine Breakthroughs of 2021
Never before has the world been so captivated by the most ordinary steps of scientific research. But, over the last two years, each incremental step forward in science—from lab research to better understand COVID-19's development and build a vaccine to combat it, to clinical trials, to pharmaceutical approval—has meant one thing: hope. That's what our list of the finest health breakthroughs of 2021 focuses on.
Best Innovations of 2021 in Medical Science
Here are the top ten innovations that the world has seen in the field of health and medicine.
Gene Therapy to Cure Haemoglobinopathies
Hemoglobinopathies are hereditary illnesses that impair the structure or synthesis of the hemoglobin molecule, which is the red protein that transports oxygen throughout the body. Sickle cell disease and thalassemia are two of the most prevalent hemoglobinopathies. Each year, more than 330,000 infants are born throughout the globe with these illnesses. In the United States alone, more than 100,000 people have sickle cell disease.
As a consequence of the most recent study into hemoglobinopathies, experimental gene treatment has been produced. This treatment should allow persons with thalassemia to produce functional hemoglobin molecules, reducing the presence of sickle blood cells or inefficient red blood cells. It will be able to avoid the difficulties linked with these conditions in this manner.

Cure for Primary Progressive Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune illness in which the immune system assaults the nerve fibers' protective fatty myelin layer. This assault causes issues with communication between the brain and the rest of the body, which may lead to irreversible damage, degeneration, and death.
Approximately 15% of MS patients acquire a main progressive form of the illness. This subcategory of the illness is characterized by a consistent progression of signs and symptoms and a gradual development. The first and only therapy for MS in the primary-progressive MS population is a new therapeutic monoclonal antibody authorized by the FDA with a unique target.
Easier Cancer Detection Process
The key to battling cancer is early diagnosis, yet just a few procedures (Pap smears, mammograms, lung exams, and colonoscopies) can identify cancer at its most treatable stages. That's why a new technique that scans a blood sample for DNA fragments from more than 50 different cancers is causing such a stir.

The Galleri test notifies a clinician whether a patient has a sickness signal and which organ it originates from. The test helped detect 29 individuals who didn't realize they had malignancies of the lung, ovary, rectum, neck, breast, and pancreatic, among other cancers, according to preliminary data from a clinical study involving 6,000 people over 50.
Fertility Testing Innovation
Home fertility tests have been available for a while, but most only test for one hormone in the urine. The new OVA tool, which is endorsed by Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, measures two to better define your "do it now" timeframe. The first, luteinizing hormone, is produced before the release of an egg, whereas the second, progesterone, is released shortly after ovulation. The precision of tracking both of them increases to the point where it approaches that of blood testing.
Smart pacemakers
Pacemakers give electrical impulses to the chambers of the heart muscle to contract and pump blood to the body in order to prevent or correct arrhythmias. Traditionally, these implanted devices have allowed for remote monitoring through a console at the bedside that sends data to the doctor in charge of the patient's care.

Despite the fact that millions of people utilize these devices, many still don't comprehend how they operate. Connecting these devices to a smartphone app would help patients to acquire a better knowledge of their cardiac therapy while also sending important data to their physicians.
PARP Inhibitors
Pharmacological inhibitors disrupt proteins called PARPs that help repair damaged tumor DNA in persons with mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes and are well-known for their effectiveness in women's cancer. Two of them have been found to slow the growth of prostate cancer in individuals with refractory disease and DNA repair pathway abnormalities.
Trachea Transplant
Several surgeons led a huge team to execute the world's first successful trachea transplant, offering hope to patients throughout the globe and future therapies for people on ventilators. Although it seemed to be a simple object at first glance, since it looks like a tube, it turns out to be a very complicated organ system.

Hepatitis C Cure
Hepatitis C, dubbed a "hidden epidemic" by the CDC, is one of the most serious public health issues in the United States. Cirrhosis, liver failure, and liver cancer are all severe concerns for anyone infected with the virus, and they may all be fatal.
There are medications available to treat the disorder. However, they have been shown to be ineffective in certain genotypes of the disease or to have unfavorable side effects in others. A new FDA-approved treatment option, a fixed-dose combination of medications, has been demonstrated to be more than 90% successful in treating hepatitis C, making it a viable choice for a broader number of patients.
Artificial Intelligence for Human Health
The Mount Sinai Health System has launched the first-of-its-kind Artificial Intelligence in the Human Health Department, led by Thomas Fuchs, DSc, and Dennis Charney, MD, Dean of the Icahn School of Medicine. According to Dr. Fuchs, "If you're serious about this, you'll need computer scientists to collaborate with doctors on the front lines. One of the critical reasons why big tech has failed in health care is that you can't simply toss artificial intelligence over the fence into a hospital and expect it to function. It must emerge from systems like ours."

COVID Impact Reduction
The impact of COVID on everyday functioning lasted at least a year in those who had it for a long time. "Our study, as well as those of others, has shown that this has an effect on people's capacity to organize, process information, and do their daily work obligations," Dr. Putrino continued. "They suffer significant memory loss and an inability to form new memories, as well as speaking problems."
Bottom Line
With the pandemic still looming, a spate of major and modest health achievements occurred in 2021, including the use of ground-breaking CRISPR gene-editing technology, the World Health Organization's approval of the first malaria vaccine, and novel cardiac therapies. In the medical area, there are many more inventions to unbox in the next year.
