When a manufacturer announces a new phone with a Pro or Plus model, the standard variant usually gets very little attention. This is what happened today during the OnePlus event. The OnePlus 7 Pro got all the attention while the OnePlus 7 got only a brief mention.

The OnePlus 7 is for those on a budget. Those who don’t fancy a 90Hz display, are fine with dual rear cameras and don’t mind having a notch in their phone’s display. These are the features of the OnePlus 7.

The screen is a 6.41-inch Optic AMOLED display with an FHD+ resolution. There is a waterdrop notch at the top of the screen for the selfie camera and it has the same third-generation in-display fingerprint scanner as the Pro version. Performance should be the same on both devices. It is powered by the Snapdragon 855 with 6GB/8GB of RAM and 128GB/256GB of UFS 3.0 storage.

The camera is another place where both phones differ. The primary camera on the OnePlus 7 is the same Sony IMX586 sensor but with a slightly smaller f/1.7 aperture (f/1.6 on the Pro). There is OIS and EIS on the main camera and it is paired with a 5MP f/2.4 depth sensor. The camera modes include Nightscape, Portrait,  Studio Lighting, UltraShot, and Super Resolution.

The selfie camera is a 16MP Sony IMX471 f/2.0 sensor with support for face Unlock, Screen Flash, and Face Retouching. The front camera can record 1080p videos at 30fps and also time-lapse videos.

The OnePlus 7 packs a smaller 3700mAh battery with 20W fast charging like the regular OnePlus 6T. It has stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos, 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.

The OnePlus 7 runs OxygenOS 9.5 based on Android Pie with Fnatic Mode (available via an OTA), RAM Boost, Video Enhancer, Screen Recorder, Zen Mode and Full-Screen gestures.
