OnePlus 7 specifications
OnePlus 7 features a 6.41-inch AMOLED display with a Full HD+ resolution, flush with a waterdrop notch. The display is topped with a layer of Gorilla Glass for added protection. OnePlus has improved the in-display fingerprint sensor for the OnePlus 7 series and it's faster than ever now with the third generation sensor. The stereo speakers have been fine-tuned by Dolby Atmos for an enhanced audio experience.
Both the OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7 Pro are powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 chipset with an octa-core CPU and Adreno 640 for graphic-intensive tasks. This is paired with upto 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. It runs on Android 9.0 Pie based OxygenOS and OnePlus promises Android updates for the next two years.
The dual camera setup on the back consists of a primary 48MP sensor and a secondary 5MP depth sensor. The cameras support HDR and can also record 4K videos at 60fps. On the front, there's a 16MP selfie camera which also doubles up as facial recognition system for the phone.
OnePlus 7 has a 3,700mAh battery and supports 20W fast charging.
OnePlus 7 Pro specifications
OnePlus 7 Pro sets a new benchmark for OnePlus in terms of design, display and cameras. The Pro variant features a 6.67-inch OLED panel with QHD+ (3440 x 1440 pixels) resolution and a refresh rate of 90Hz. There's no notch on the front which gives the phone a 19.5:9 aspect ratio. It is also topped with a 3D Gorilla Glass unlike the 2.5D glass on the regular variant.
The display on the OnePlus 7 Pro also supports HDR10+ which makes it one of the best screens to watch videos on. This, along with the 90Hz refresh rate should make for a delightful visual experience.
As there is no cutout for any kind of notch on the front, OnePlus has gone ahead and embedded the 16MP selfie camera in the body of the phone itself. Through a motorized mechanism, the front camera pops-up from the top edge. As far as the durability of the motor is considered, OnePlus claims to have tested it for around 300,000 cycles. In the event of slippage, the accelerometer detects the phone falling and closes the front camera to avoid damage automatically.
OnePlus 7 Pro is also the first OnePlus phone to come with three cameras on the back. These are- 48MP primary shooter with Sony IMX586 sensor and an aperture of f/1.6, an 8MP telephoto camera with 3x zoom and an ultra-wide 16MP snapper with 117-degree field-of-view. The primary and telephoto cameras are backed by Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) and supported by dual LED flash and PDAF (Phase Detection Auto Focus). The cameras can shoot upto 4K at 60fps just like the regular OnePlus 7 model.
OnePlus 7 Pro is also powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 and the RAM capacity goes upto 12GB for this one with 256GB of UFS 3.0 storage, making it the first phone in the world to use UFS3.0 based storage. In addition, the OnePlus 7 Pro has a 10-layer liquid cooling solution that helps dissipate heat more effectively through the body of the phone.
It has a 4,000mAh battery which supports the new Warp Charge 30 fast charging solution by OnePlus. This is upto 34% fast than the charging speeds on the OnePlus 6T.
OnePlus also announced Wireless Bullets 2 with Bluetooth 5.0 and aptX HD support. The Wireless Bullets 2 can last for over 14 hours on a single charge.
