More and more smartphone manufacturers are now adopting the full-screen display design and in order to achieve the same, the concept of a pop-up front-facing camera, punch-hole design as well as flip mechanism have come up.
Recently, OnePlus launched its all-new flagship lineup — OnePlus 7 (specs here!) and OnePlus 7 Pro. The Pro model of the device features a pop-up selfie camera mechanism. Unlike Samsung’s flagship smartphones, the phone doesn’t come with a punch-hole design.
Now, Pete Lau, co-founder and CEO of OnePlus has explained why the company didn’t opt for the punch-hole design for the front-facing camera sensor. He explains that the major issue was the size of the hole in the display. He also said that if the hole can be made smaller, the company would consider the cut-out display. Huang Zhang, founder, chairman, and CEO of Meizu Group also shares similar views.
The OnePlus 7 Pro (full specs here) comes with 6.67-inch Quad HD+ Fluid AMOLED curved display with a 90Hz refresh rate and HDR10+ support. It also comes with a third generation in-display fingerprint scanner that is faster and unlocks in 0.21 seconds.
The phone is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 855 octa-core chipset and comes with up to 12GB RAM and up to 256GB storage. For storage, the company is using UFS 3.0 technology which is said to be 79% faster than UFS 2.1 technology.
The OnePlus 7 Pro comes with a 48MP f/1.6 Sony IMX586 camera has OIS and EIS, which is paired with an 8MP telephoto camera with 3x zoom and its own OIS and a 16MP 117° ultra-wide angle camera. On the front side, the smartphone comes with a pop-up front-facing mechanism featuring a 16MP snapper.
Other features on the device include Stereo Speakers with Dolby Atmos sound, Bluetooth 5.0, and support for aptX and aptXHD, LDAC, and AAC. There is NFC, dual-frequency GPS, dual-band Wi-Fi, dual SIM support, and a USB Type-C port.
