The flagship smartphone from China-based OnePlus — OnePlus 7 Pro got launched just a few hours ago and Zack from JerryRigEverything has already put the smartphone through extensive physical tests to check the device’s durability.
It all starts with the scratch test and since the phone uses Gorilla Glass build, it starts getting scratched at a level 6 on the Mohs hardness scale. With level 7, you can start seeing deeper grooves.
The pop-up front-facing camera is also protected by glass which won’t get scratched easily but the area surrounding it is made up of plastic, which is more prone to scratches. The phone’s sides are made up of metal, including the SIM card tray, volume rocker, power button, and the alert slider.
The back panel of the OnePlus 7 Pro also comes with Gorilla Glass 5 for protecting it from scratches. The OnePlus branding and wordmark are both placed under the glass so they can’t come off easily.
Now, coming to the burn test, the smartphone’s display performed quite impressively. It didn’t show any dead pixels after around a minute of having an open flame directly applied to it. In comparison, other AMOLED display panels usually last only about 20 seconds until unrecoverable pixel damage occurs.
Even when the glass on top of the display gets damaged by level 7 Mohs, the in-display fingerprint sensor of the OnePlus 7 Pro still keeps working. The phone also performed very well in the bend test, without showing any separation or kinks.
Coming to the specifications, the OnePlus 7 Pro features a 6.67-inch QHD+ Fluid AMOLED curved display with a 90Hz refresh rate and HDR10+ support. It comes with a third generation in-display fingerprint scanner as well as support for Face Unlock feature.
Under the hood, it is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 855 chipset with up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.0 storage. As for the rear camera setup, there’s a 48MP f/1.6 Sony IMX586 sensor with OIS and EIS. It is paired with an 8MP telephoto camera with 3x zoom and its own OIS and a 16MP 117° ultra-wide angle camera.
The phone comes with a 16MP pop-up selfie camera. OnePlus says the camera has been tested 300,000 times for durability. It is also the first OnePlus phone with stereo speakers and Dolby Atmos sound.
The OnePlus 7 pro runs OxygenOS 9.5 based on Android 9 Pie operating system with features like Game Mode and Zen Mode. It packs a 4000mAh battery with support for 30W Warp Charge which lets users charge phone up to 50% in just 20 minutes.
