Recently, there were speculations that OnePlus’ partnership with McLaren might be at its endpoint as the premium smartphone manufacturer was noticed to have been delisted as a 2020 F1 partner on the McLaren website. Android Authority has now received an official confirmation from the British sports car manufacturer that it is no longer in partnership with OnePlus.

Android Authority quotes a McLaren spokesperson to have hinted in an email statement that both company’s partnership came to its scheduled conclusion recently. This clearly indicates that there wasn’t any acrimony but the partnership has run its full course.

OnePlus announced its partnership with McLaren in November 2018. The first product released after both innovative firms signed the dotted lines was the OnePus 6T McLaren Edition. Last year, OnePlus also launch McLaren edition for the OnePlus 7T Pro. The company even announced an OP7T Pro 5G McLaren Edition sold exclusively on T-Mobile.

The McLaren special editions released by OnePlus were known for their souped-up specs and exclusive designs. While fans were expecting a McLaren edition for the OnePlus 8 series, that may never happen except both companies enter into a fresh partnership.

This week we learned the OnePlus 7T will be coming with significant upgrades when compared to the OnePlus 7. Today, it is the turn of the OnePlus 7T Pro and it is a double dose of leaks as we not only have specs but also renders. The leaks also include the OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren Edition, a successor to last year’s OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition.

Starting with the renders which are from OnLeaks in collaboration with 91Mobiles, we can see OnePlus is keeping the design of the OnePlus 7 Pro. We have a display that nearly covers the whole of the front of the phone, a motorized pop-up selfie camera, and triple rear cameras arranged vertically in the middle.

The OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren Edition will also have the same design in addition to a textured-pattern underneath the rear glass, the McLaren orange accent, and the McLaren logo at the bottom.

The OnePlus 7T Pro will come in a new Haze Blue color variant shown above. Other than the color change, OnLeaks says the OnePlus 7T Pro and the OnePlus 7T are identical on the outside. What about on the inside?

Both phones will have triple rear cameras – a 48MP primary sensor, a 16MP ultrawide angle camera, and an 8MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom. The camera software will be improved, so expect better quality photos. Ishan Agarwal adds in his own OnePlus 7T leak that the Pro will feature a new Macro mode, HEVC, and hybrid image stabilization. It will also have a new Nightscape mode that supports the wide-angle camera.

The OnePlus 7T Pro and OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren Edition will each have a 4085mAh battery, a slight bump over that of the OnePlus 7 Pro. There will also be support for what he calls Warp Charge 30T (no not an error, more info on this below). Both phones will run Android 10 out of the box.

He also revealed the specs of the OnePlus 7T. We already know this as Ishan Agarwal leaked them earlier this week, but there are some new details. For example, the OnePlus 7T will come with a 48MP primary camera paired with a 16MP ultrawide angle camera and a 12MP telephoto zoom camera with 2x optical zoom. The phone will have support for 960fps slow-motion recording at 720p for a duration of 10 seconds). There is also Nightscape 2.

Indeed, #OnePlus7TPro looks similar to the 7 Pro. Most updates on software side, hardware remains same with SD855+ addition. Android 10, 4080mAH Battery.

Most interesting was obviously the normal #OnePlus7T which I told about already a day ago! BTW, Slow motion supports 240 , 480 and 960FPS (for 10 sec., not a 4 sec. gimmick like Samsung phones). Nightscape is getting improved as I told already, with support for Wide Angle Cam. https://t.co/hH8B49Nxaz

Max J confirms the OnePlus 7T will have a 3800mAh battery and will support Warp Charge 30T. It will also run Android 10 out of the box. Ishan Agarwal adds that Warp Charge 30T charges at 5V 6A and will charge the OnePlus 7T Pro from 0 to 50% in 20 minutes and 0 to 100% in 65 minutes.
