The OnePlus Bullets Wireless 2 is the starter, the gadget, everyone was looking for was the OnePlus 7 Pro, which was unveiled right after the Bullets Wireless 2. And Carl introduced the OnePlus 7 Pro, the latest and greatest from OnePlus till now. The OnePlus 7 Pro checks a lot of boxes in terms of out of the box features that someone would expect from a flagship phone in 2019. The OnePlus 7 Pro features a 6.67-inch AMODEL Quad HD+ display, with a refresh rate of 90Hz- First time on a phone we saw a Quad HD+ AMOLED display with a higher refresh rate.

Earlier, ASUS and Razer introduced phones with refresh rates of 90Hz and 120Hz, but none of them featured an AMOLED panel. The OnePlus 7 Pro has HDR10+ support and the display has a maximum brightness of up to 800 nits. Also, on the OnePlus 7 Pro, there are no bezels around the display and there is no notch, the display is curved, which makes the phone look elegant while being minimalist. In terms of hardware, the OnePlus 7 Pro is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor, coupled with 6GB, 8GB or 12GB of RAM. There is 128GB or 256GB onboard storage and the phone uses UFS 3.0 storage, which means that data transfers are much faster and the phone is more reliable across different ranges of temperature.

In terms of optics, the OnePlus 7 Pro features a 48-megapixel primary camera, that is a Sony IMX586 sensor. There is also a 16-megapixel wide-angle camera on the back and an 8-megapixel telephoto camera. The triple camera setup on the back is quite flexible and on the front, there is a 16-megapixel pop-up selfie camera. OnePlus has also incorporated drop detection for the pop-up selfie camera so that when a user is taking a selfie or in a video call, and the phone just somehow slips from the hand, during the drop itself, the pop-up selfie camera will be retracted inside, preventing damage to the hardware.

The OnePlus 7 Pro runs Android 9.0 Pie out of the box with Oxygen OS on top. The OnePlus 7 Pro will be a part of the Android Q Beta program and it will receive two major Android OS updates and three years of security patches. The phone packs a 4000mAh non-removable battery with support for 30 Watt WARP Charging. In terms of colour variants, there are just two colour variants in which the OnePlus 7 Pro will be available- Mirror Grey and Nebula Blue. The base variant with 6GB RAM will only be available in the Mirror Grey colour, while the top variant with 12GB RAM will be available in Nebula Blue colour.

On the front, there is a 16-megapixel Sony IMX471 sensor, just like the OnePlus 7 Pro, but it’s not a pop-up selfie camera. Rather the selfie camera resides within the waterdrop notch.

  1. This phone has great performance, good camera and ambiance. Charging is fast as per the One plus standards set in earlier phones. I loved the big display and the fingerprint reader is also quite good. There is no lagging issue till now. Speakers are loud and produce decent sound.
