1. OnePlus 7 will have a 5G variant
For the first time in the OnePlus’ history, the company will launch two variants of its flagship at the same time: the vanilla OnePlus 7 and the OnePlus 7 Pro. But this is not the only special thing: the OP7 Pro will not only be the first Pro variant of a OnePlus flagship, but it will also be the first 5G smartphone from the company. Alongside the Snapdragon 855 chipset, the handset will be equipped with the Snapdragon X50 modem which supports the 5G connectivity. So, as soon as a 5G network becomes available in your country, you will be able to take advantage of blazing speeds without changing your phone!
2. An amazing display
A lot of people complained about the fact that displays of OnePlus devices have never been at the same level as the most expensive flagships from Samsung and Apple. But OnePlus 7 Pro will sport the most impressive display ever seen on a OnePlus handset, and it will be able to compete with the best flagships out there. According to CEO Pete Lau, the phone will come with a display that is super smooth and very crisp. Besides being big-sized (6.67 inches), it will offer a high 90 Hz refresh ratio, a high Quad HD+ resolution with 1440 x 3120 pixels and even an outstanding color reproduction thanks to the DCI-P3 coverage and HDR10+ technology. At least on the paper, it has not so much to envy to the Galaxy S10 and the iPhone Xs Max which come with the most impressive AMOLED panels!
3. OnePlus joins the pop-up revolution
With the OP7 Pro, OnePlus has adopted a new and more innovative technology in order to get rid of bezels around the display. We are talking about the pop-up selfie camera which will come out through a futuristic motorized mechanism. A solution that was first adopted by Vivo, and now it is becoming a real trend. Unlike the notch, it does not hinder the display experience in any way, but at the same time, it helps to provide the highest screen-to-body ratio possible.
4. UFS 3.0 storage and up to 12 GB RAM
Speed was always among the most important advantages of OnePlus devices, and that will not change with the new line-up. A few days ago, CEO Pete Lau confirmed that the OnePlus 7 Pro will boast internal storage based on the UFS 3.0 technology, the fastest one ever seen on a phone. So, the phone will reach incredibly high data transfer speeds and, consequently, the overall performances will improve, especially when opening apps. Samsung Galaxy Fold should have been the first phone to hit the market with UFS 3.0 storage, but it was retired due to display problems and now OnePlus 7 Pro will be the first. The handset will even be equipped with 12 GB of RAM in its most expensive variant, so you can even expect an amazing multi-tasking experience!
5. 3x optical zoom
With the OnePlus 7 line-up, you will see huge improvements even in the camera department. Among them, on the Pro variant, there will be the support to 3x optical zoom thanks to an 8 MP telephoto sensor with OIS. It is not as high as the Huawei P30 Pro, but it is still amazing. The first camera sample with 3x optical zoom shared come out with plenty of detail and a way higher image quality if we compare it with previous OnePlus devices.
6. OxygenOS and the Android Q beta support
A few days ago, at Google I/O 2019, Big G unveiled Android Q, the next major version of its operating system. Two betas of the new operating system were already released until then, and during the event, Google officially announced the third beta. Unlike the previous betas which were only available on its Pixel devices, there will be plenty of phones which will get the third Android Q beta. And the OnePlus 7 will be among them! Further, let’s not forget how light, user-friendly and well optimized OxygenOS will be, and the blazing speeds it will deliver.
7. Finally a top-tier flagship for OnePlus!
Despite the prices of OnePlus devices constantly being raised over the years, the company always tried to cut down on areas where it could save some money. With the OP7 series the strategy changes. Now, we are finally going to see a true top-tier flagship from the company: the OnePlus 7 Pro. Finally, no more compromises (except for the IP certification): the company chose not to cut down anything and pushed most of the departments to their current limits!
So, what are your thoughts about the OnePlus 7 Pro? Are you excited for the event?
