Apart from announcing OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7 Pro smartphones, OnePlus also announced the arrival of OnePlus 7 Pro 5G edition at the launch event that was held at the U.K. The company confirmed that it will be releasing the OnePlus 7 Pro 5G in the UK later this year. It did not go into details of revealing the tech specs of the phone. Hence, more information on the OnePlus 7 Pro 5G is expected to appear as its market release draws near.
The OnePlus 7 Pro 5G comes with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X50 LTE modem which enables 5G capabilities on the device. The announcement of the 5G edition of the OnePlus 7 Pro was actually a teaser. The X50 LTE modem does not carry support mmWave bands available in Europe. Hence, it appears the OP7 Pro 5G will be arriving with sub-6GHz support in the U.K.
Because of antennas and related components, 5G phones are expected to arrive with larger form factor. However, OnePlus 7 Pro 5G has the same size as its 4G variant. The probable reason behind it is that it is a sub-6GHz device which helps in simplifying its design. OnePlus 7 Pro 5G will be exclusively through EE carrier in the UK. However, the carrier is yet to confirm on when it will be making the 5G network live in the U.K. The handset is expected to be available in Belfast, Birmingham, Cardiff, Edinburgh and Manchester.
The OnePlus 7 Pro 5G is expected to feature identical specs as its non-5G edition. The OnePlus 7 Pro features a 6.67-inch AMOLED display that supports quad HD+ resolution along with 90Hz refresh rate. The Snapdragon 855 SoC powers the phone with up to 12 GB of RAM. It comes with a maximum storage option of 256 GB UFS 3.0 storage.
The pop-up selfie camera includes a 16-megapixel selfie snapper. The triple camera setup includes a 48-megapixel primary sensor, an 8-megapixel telephoto lens and a 16-megapixel ultrawide sensor. The device is backed by a 4,000mAh battery that carries support for 30W Warp Charge technology. The OnePlus 7 Pro has arrived in three variants such as 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage (Mirror Gray), 8 GB RAM + 256 GB storage (Mirror Gray and Nebula Blue) and 12 GB RAM + 256 GB storage. These models are respectively priced at £649, £699 and £799 in U.K. In the European markets, these models are respectively priced at 699 euros, 749 euros and 819 euros.
