Oneplus 7 launching on June 4
ONEPLUS 7
A few weeks ago, OnePlus released its most extravagant phone yet, the OnePlus 7 Pro. Now, it’s time for its more vanilla variant, the OnePlus 7. While OnePlus blew us off with the new design and a stunning screen with the Pro version, this one’s just an iterative update to the OnePlus 6T, and you might think they’re the same phone when you first look at them. But, more on that later.
First, let’s look at the specifications:
Specifications
Screen: 6.41-inch FullHD AMOLED at 1080×2340 resolution
Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 855, octa-core, up to 2.84 GHz
Memory: 6GB/8GB
Rear camera: 48–megapixel sensor with f/1.7 aperture + 8-megapixel depth sensor with f/2.4 aperture
Front camera: 16-megapixel with f/2.0
Battery: 3,700mAh
Charging: Warp charging at 20W
Software: Android 9.0 Pie with OxygenOS
Internal storage: 128/256GB UFS 3.0 (that means data read/write operations are twice as fast as the previous generation of storage)
Biometric security: Under the display fingerprint sensor, face unlock
If you compare this device to the OnePlus 6T, you’ll find that apart from the obvious processor bump (from Snapdragon 845 to Snapdragon 855) little has changed. The company has added UFS 3.0 storage for faster read and write operations, and included a pair of stereo speakers (finally!).
There are still two cameras on the phone, but there’s a change in sensors. The OnePlus 7 uses this year’s go-to 48-megapixel (Sony IMX 586) sensor for its primary camera; paired up with a 5-megapixel depth sensor. Also, the phone has a very prominent camera bump that may irk some users. The front camera still uses a 16-megapixel sensor from the last year.
PRICE -
, the phone won’t be available in the US. But, given the starting price point of £499/ Rs 32,999 (for UK/India) for the 6GB+128GB model, a lot of people might be tempted to get their hands on it. Of course, there’s the Pixel 3aand its almighty camera in the competition, and there’s the lure of buying the stupidly beautiful the OnePlus 7 Pro. It’s a sweet confusion for phone buyers looking to get a flagship experience without burning a hole in their pockets.
