2 minute exam

The OnePlus 7 Pro is ready to take your portrait with its new retractable front-facing camera, then dazzle you with its truly flawless, silky-smooth screen display – two features Apple and Samsung can't claim with their market. headlamps The flagship phone still outperforms its higher-end competition, offering power and similar high-end features at a user-friendly cost (which means less). In short, OnePlus has done it again. But be prepared, longtime fans: this new model is more expensive than last year's OnePlus 6T, the less efficient ordinary OnePlus 7, and its competitor, the Honor 20 Pro. However, compared to the OnePlus 8 Pro that launched in early 2020 with an even higher price tag, the 7 Pro is still a powerful phone that can still compete with the best phones on the market. What do you get from the OnePlus 7 Pro for the extra cost? An upgrade worthy of the "Pro" name: This smartphone sports an immersive 6.67-inch display that challenges Samsung's display crown by ditching the ugly frame outline and getting a 90Hz refresh rate for a smoother scrolling experience. smoother scrolling. Its 19.5:9 aspect ratio is pretty big, so don't expect little hands to reach every corner of the elongated screen. We want there to be a OnePlus 7 Pro mini, but we still appreciate the curved edges for a slimmer overall profile. The second-generation in-display fingerprint sensor has also been improved to help you access your phone more reliably the first time you press your thumb against the glass. Beneath the HDR10 + screen is Qualcomm's top-end Snapdragon 855 chipset, a heavy 4000mAh battery that powered us all day (but not anymore), and up to 256GB of storage and 12GB of RAM - the latest. spec is actually more than you need from a phone, so the 8GB version is fine. The OnePlus 7 Pro lineup of triple-lens rear cameras is led by a 48MP sensor, new 3x telephoto and ultra-wide lenses, and a low-light-ready Nightscape mode. It's closer to the quality of the Google Pixel 3 and Huawei P30 Pro, but it's not the best camera phone. OnePlus has already released several camera-focused software updates, and we've updated our review to offer an in-depth comparison of the OnePlus 7 Pro and Huawei P30 Pro to see just how far apart they fall. Missing features from the OnePlus 7 Pro include a 3.5mm headphone jack, microSD card slot, and wireless charging, which will be a pain in the ass but not a snap for some people. Good news, it offers the fastest charging rates we've ever tested via an included oversized Warp Charge 30 adapter, while there's also a new stereo speaker system. The OnePlus 7 Pro is closer to providing everything you want from a flagship phone than any OnePlus phone before it, but for that reason, it no longer falls into the budget or mid-range categories. Once hailed as a "flagship killer", the OnePlus series is now a flagship to kill for. For those who are tempted to dive into the brave new world of 5G, OnePlus is also offering the OnePlus 7 Pro 5G. It's an identical phone, the only difference being the addition of 5G connectivity.

Headphone jack: No The OnePlus 7 Pro release date was Friday, May 17, 2019, though hardcore fans in the United States were able to purchase it after T-Mobile's May 14 launch event promotion. They waited a long time to be the first to buy this phone. Pricing for the OnePlus 7 Pro starts at €669 (€649 / AED 2,849) for its entry-level configuration with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, an option available only in mirror gray, and goes up to €749 (€ 799 / AED 3,249) for 256 GB / 12 GB of RAM, with this version only available in the more attractive Nebula Blue finish. We think most OnePlus 7 Pro buyers will pay $699 (€699 / AED 2,999) for the 256GB/8GB configuration, which is also what T-Mobile is pushing for all its US consumers - and this is also the only option available in mirror gray and nebula blue. If you have extra cash to burn a hole in your pocket, you can spend a little more and buy the OnePlus 7 Pro 5G, which gives you access to the latest network connectivity with even faster data speeds. OnePlus 7 Pro too expensive for you? A cheaper, less flashy OnePlus 7 will eventually be sold in the UK and Europe, while the OnePlus 6T will continue to be sold in the US, which won't get the OnePlus 7 at all. Not expensive enough? There is a more expensive OnePlus 7 Pro 5G version with super-fast internet speeds, although it is exclusive to certain carriers (for example, Sprint in the US and EE in the UK).

Monitor

This is where OnePlus has put the most work into its new phone, and it shows. There's more screen here and more fluidity than almost every phone we've tested so far. The OnePlus 7 Pro will be the first real full-screen phone that most countries in the world will be able to buy – there's no notch, no blemish. Its new retractable front-facing camera doesn't feed into screen real estate, and this is an idea we've already seen on Vivo, Oppo, and Xiaomi devices launched in China. But this phone has global appeal. Its 6.67-inch frameless display is only half the story. OnePlus calls its display "Fluid AMOLED", with a 90Hz refresh rate instead of the usual 60Hz. We've seen smoother movements when watching TV and playing games, and we've also found simply scrolling through web pages to be more aesthetically pleasing. It's hard to go back to 60Hz after experimenting with the OnePlus 7 Pro at 90Hz; all phones should have that. We tested and appreciated the gamer-focused Razer Phone 2 at 120Hz and the Asus ROG Phone, which sits at 90Hz with a OnePlus. But the 7 Pro offers a more conventional design and appeal, and it has faster specs, a better camera, and better software to boot. The OnePlus 7 Pro has a 19.5:9 aspect ratio that stretches from top to bottom, making it easy to jump into a fast-paced racing game on this screen. But, as mentioned, its tall proportions mean it's not ideal for everyone looking for a smaller phone.

Integrated

The OnePlus 7 Pro design is pretty much everything you want from a smartphone in 2019. It looks like an ever-higher version of the Galaxy S10 Plus, minus the hole-punch camera. It has the same slim black screen outline, curved edges, and glass construction, the tapered edges reaching a fine point, making it easy to grip the slim bezel. It's hard not to want to hold this big phone, even if it takes two hands to operate it comfortably. And if you're afraid to drop it, OnePlus has included a no-frills clear plastic case in the box. Colors for the OnePlus 7 Pro are glossy mirror gray and the more attractive nebula blue gradient in a matte finish, though as mentioned your choice of color depends on which storage/RAM combination you go for. Later this year, the company will also be showcasing a shimmering golden almond color that also looked like an exceptional shade when we saw it. Not everything reflects Samsung's design, and that's good news and bad news. We love the psychic alert slider on the right side: why the iPhone remains the only other line of smartphones with an easily accessible blind mute switch that beats us. There's also no Bixby button to confuse with a volume down button on the left side; OnePlus sticks a Google Assistant shortcut to the screen in the bottom left corner of the lock screen, and that's great for us. What's missing from the OnePlus 7 Pro is a 3.5mm headphone port - the company removed it from last year's 6T, and wasn't going to bring it back with functionality when it upgraded the Bullet Wireless Headphones 2 to sell you. There's also 0 for 10 when adding wireless charging and a microSD card slot. And it's not officially IP-certified waterproof, though the theory is that it's just a way to save money and you'll be fine with a normal dunk. These omissions are very important to you, or they're not: we think the internal storage options are generous enough for most people.

Pop-up selfie camera

We don't know if pop-up selfie cameras are the future of our self-indulgent smartphone photos, but it's a mind-boggling idea for 2019, and it leaves your phone screen perfectly flawless. The camera comes out of the top of the OnePlus 7 Pro body in a slight mechanical vortex, but only when the camera app is active and in selfie mode. Otherwise, it remains hidden. Worried that the introduction of new mechanical parts could leave this phone subject to damage? We also. The nice thing is that if you drop it, or fake drop it like we did to trigger the gyro sensor, the pop-up camera retreats into its free-fall protective shell. It's always a part that can break, but it's a well-thought-out safety measure to minimize risks. However, in an effort to give customers some reassurance as to the durability of its pop-up camera, OnePlus has released a 12-hour selfie video stress test. If you literally have nothing to do today, you can check it out below. The actual quality of the photo sometimes matches the sophistication of the camera. It thrives in brightly lit settings, softens skin too aggressively in dim lighting, and generally has a higher HDR camera than other phones in this price range, though the Google Pixel 3 and Huawei P30 Pro took selfies a lot. better in our parallel tests.

It's a step up from the more ghostly and often busted selfie photos we got with the OnePlus 6T and its teardrop front-facing camera, but be aware that the OnePlus 7 Pro pop-up camera has some barrel distortion from its wide field of view. vision. You may have a long face for more than one reason if you hold this phone under your chin.

Triple camera

This main camera has always been OnePlus' biggest weakness. The good news is that the OnePlus 7 Pro's triple-lens rear camera captures much better photos than its predecessors, even if it's not always close to being the best phone camera. Its 48-megapixel camera with an f/1.6 aperture leads the charge, featuring more texture, less shadow, and slightly warmer colors than last year's OnePlus phones. No more ghostly and often cloudy images in favor of brighter, sharper images, especially in bright light. Image 1 of 9

Here's why it's still not the best: In dim light, it's often too hot, and it amplifies the smoothness of the skin to make up for the noise—no one wants an airbrushed face with a red glow in restaurant photos. Side-by-side comparisons show the Pixel 3 (and Pixel 3a) have more color bursts where appropriate, and better portrait bokeh. Portrait mode here is uncomfortably tight, much more so than the OnePlus 6T, and it lacks clarity in low light. Night Sight mode is back for low-light photos, and it's been improved. More precisely, it is tempered so as not to turn off the white lights in night shots with mixed flashes. But you'll have to put the OnePlus 7 Pro on a tripod to do this mode justice; Even a slightly shaky hand on a cold night gives the impression that a scene is melting around you, and any movement causes slight streaking and blurring. The 8 MP f/2.4 telephoto lens offers a 3x zoom with optical image stabilization (OIS), capturing distant subjects. Note: It's really a 13MP lens with 2.2x optical zoom, according to a Reddit detective, and a delicate crop to hit the 3x finish line. It always gets you closer without digital distortion, although the Huawei P30 Pro 5x telephoto reigns supreme. The OnePlus 7 Pro 16MP f/2.2 ultra-wide lens does the opposite with a 117-degree field of view that we found ideal for landscape shots, but with soft edges. With the OnePlus 7 Pro, we have a good smartphone camera, but not a perfect one. Its triple-lens setup offers a variety of shots, but its main attribute is the fact that it solves the problems found with last year's OnePlus devices. The best budget camera phone is the Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL, but it does an admirable job in most conditions.

OnePlus 7 Pro To fully understand how good the OnePlus 7 Pro camera is, we put it head-to-head with the Huawei P30 - read our full review of the two smartphones and how they compare in our camera comparison article here.

Performance

The OnePlus 7 Pro tagline "Go beyond speed" means this phone focuses on more than just clock speed, but raw performance is certainly not overlooked. It's one of the fastest Android phones we've tested, on par with the LG G8 and almost as fast as the Samsung Galaxy S10 series. It's the powerful Snapdragon 855 chipset that offers a nice boost in clock speed, and up to 12GB of RAM that offers a high ceiling. We had no problem running apps, downloading games, and watching a video at the same time. That being said, most people should be fine with the 8GB version of this phone. OnePlus 7 Pro is built for performance. Extending its power, there's a 10-layer liquid cooling system under the glass cover to keep the phone from getting too hot, while there's also a new haptic vibration motor to provide instant feedback with new ones. levels of granularity Increased RAM, cooling system, and improved vibration combine to make it a solid gaming phone. There's another secret weapon in the OnePlus 7 Pro's specs: it's the world's first phone with UFS 3.0 storage. This means it has faster read and write speeds, so while OnePlus still doesn't include a microSD slot, the transfer speeds of the beefy internal storage options are 20 times faster than the external card format popular with other phones. android.

OnePlus 7 Pro

Oxygen OS is the OnePlus software skin that runs on Android 9.0 Pie. It offers a small number of changes to the ethos of Google's operating system, with a minimalistic flat design, and the extras that are here are really nice changes. New with the OnePlus 7 Pro software suite is an integrated screen recorder. You can capture everything that happens on your screen if you want to, for example, create a play-by-play walkthrough video. You can even choose to record internal or external audio. Google thinks full screenshots are 'impractical' for stock Android, but OnePlus has covered that with its extended screenshot tool and is reintroduced with smoother screen scrolling thanks to the 90 refresh rate. OnePlus 7 Pro Hz: Gone is the jerky motion of assembling and descending a long web page. Zen mode is a new software benefit similar to Google's Digital Wellbeing, which encourages you to turn off your phone more often. Entering this mode limits the use of your phone for 20 minutes: no SMS, no news check, and no social media. You can still make and receive calls and take photos, but the goal is to give you a 20-minute digital break. The OnePlus 7 Pro is close to pure Android, has fun software extras, and is easy to use. Even better, the company was quick to update to new versions of Android — it even tests the OnePlus 6T running Android 10 Q, while Samsung takes forever to update.

Drums

There's a heavy 4000mAh battery inside the OnePlus 7 Pro, and it's been strong enough to get us through a full day of normal use. This matched our experience with the OnePlus 6T, which has a slightly smaller 3700mAh battery, but also a less impressive 60Hz display. We never found ourselves frantically searching for a power outlet in a day, but we had to. making sure we had the Warp Charge 30 with us overnight, and that's where it's at. The real news about the OnePlus 7 Pro, in terms of battery life: It's the fastest phone we've ever tested, reaching over 90% after an hour of charging in various tests. The oversized Warp Charge 30 adapter and cable included in the box got us from 0% to 34% in just 15 minutes, then to 60% after 30 minutes, and to 100% in 1 hour 23 minutes. We found that standard USB-C adapters offered much less impressive speeds. WarpCharge 30 is significantly faster than Samsung's aging Adaptive Fast Charge technology; however, with no wireless charging and slower speeds with USB-C adapters, be sure to take this specific charger with you when you travel.

OnePlus 6T

This phone offers the best value if you don't need the wow factors of the OnePlus 7 Pro. It's still pretty good, it has a big 6.4-inch display with a teardrop notch and long battery life, and it's also running Android 10 Q beta on this moment. Given the increase in prices between the 6T and 7 Pro, it's a good option if you don't mind skipping the extra costs and camera quality. • Read our OnePlus 6T review

samsung galaxy s10e

Samsung's entry-level Galaxy S phone for 2019 has a smaller 5.8-inch display and punch-hole, but it's still a frenzy for its main camera and overall performance. And if you're looking for a premium glass phone with narrower dimensions, this one is priced very close to the OnePlus 7 Pro. • Read our Samsung Galaxy 10e review

Huawei Mate 20 Pro

If you're looking for a big screen, lots of power, and multiple high-performance rear cameras, you should seriously consider the Huawei Mate 20 Pro.

There's an equally massive 6.39-inch QHD + screen at stake here, plus plenty of power under the hood and a trio of versatile cameras on the rear. Additionally, there is an in-display fingerprint scanner, although its notch is larger than the S10 Plus.

The real kick here, however, is the price. As the Mate 20 Pro is now six months old, its price has dropped and you can now buy much less than the Galaxy S10 Plus.
