OnePlus 7T Pro presented: Small changes at a high level
Two weeks after the OnePlus 7T comes the OnePlus 7T Pro. The changes compared to the OnePlus 7 Pro are minor, but the new smartphone is also intended to replace older models and retains its display without holes.
The retractable front camera is the most important feature of the 7T Pro. As a result, the display does not have any cut-outs, but 90 Hertz is now also available on the OnePlus 7T.
Better photos and faster charging
The front camera remains unchanged compared to the OnePlus 7 Pro and there are no technical changes to the triple camera either. But there are changes to the software. There are the same innovations as the OnePlus 7T. This means that night mode has found its way into the wide-angle camera on the OnePlus 7T Pro and you can get up to 2.5 centimetres closer to the subject with the new macro mode. Portrait mode now uses the main camera and no longer the telephoto lens, and backlit shots should have more depth and more contours. Electronic stabilisation is now available for videos with the wide-angle camera. However, these are all things that could also come to older models via a software update.
With the Snapdragon 855 Plus, the OnePlus 7T Pro features the fastest chipset currently available from Qualcomm. It is supported by eight gigabytes of RAM and has 256 gigabytes of internal memory. The manufacturer is not offering any other storage variants this time. You also only have one choice of colour, "Haze Blue".
The battery of the OnePlus 7T Pro is slightly larger at 4085 mAh. However, the new WarpCharge 30T fast charging technology is likely to be more important. It is designed to charge the battery faster than before, especially at the beginning, so that your smartphone can top up as much energy as possible in the first few minutes.
The retractable camera ensures that the display of the OnePlus 7T Pro does not have a notch or holes. At 6.67 inches, it takes up almost the entire front and still looks very nice. The refresh rate of 90 hertz also contributes to this - 60 hertz is usually the norm. The higher number makes many animations look even smoother. The reflections on the rounded edges of the OnePlus 7 Pro were extremely annoying. This is no longer the case with the 7T Pro despite the identical display.
The OnePlus 7T Pro will be available from 17 October. The manufacturer's recommended retail price is 759 euros. On the same day, sales of the OnePlus 7T will also start, which is a lot cheaper at 599 euros.
McLaren Edition at the launch
There is another McLaren Edition of the OnePlus 7T Pro, for which OnePlus has once again collaborated with the car manufacturer - albeit no longer with the Formula 1 but with the automotive sector. It is characterised by a different design, a different material for the housing and more memory.
The OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren Edition has 12 gigabytes of RAM. The rest of the technical features are identical to the conventional OnePlus 7T Pro. However, its casing is not made of glass but of carbon and has a special design including accents in "Papaya Orange", the colour of McLaren. The scope of delivery also includes a special Alcantara cover and you can select a McLaren theme for Android on the device.
The OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren Edition will be available from 5 November and costs 859 euros.
When I was but a young student, I'd sit in my friend's living room with all my classmates and play on his SuperNES. Since then I've had the opportunity to test out all the newest technology for you. I've done reviews at Curved, Computer Bild and Netzwelt, and have now arrived at Galaxus.de.
