OnePlus 7

The OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7 Pro (stylized as “OnePlus 7^Pro”) are Android smartphones manufactured by OnePlus. They were unveiled on 14 May 2019.

Specifications

Design

Both phones have a metal/glass construction, with an anodized aluminium frame and Gorilla Glass 5 on both the front and back. The OnePlus 7 opts for a more conservative design with a notch, resembling the 6T, while the OnePlus 7 Pro has a near-full screen curved display with an 88.1% screen-to-body ratio. Both are available in Mirror Gray; Mirror Red and Mirror Blue are exclusive to the 7 while Almond and Nebula Blue are exclusive to the 7 Pro.

Hardware

Internally, both phones use the Snapdragon 855 processor with the Adreno 640 GPU. Both phones are available with either 128 or 256 GB of storage, although the 7 Pro is available with 12 GB of RAM in addition to the 6 and 8 GB variants on the 7. A version of the OnePlus 7 with 12 GB of RAM is available in China. Both phones have an AMOLED display, but the 7 Pro has a slightly larger 1440p screen as opposed to the 7's 1080p screen. The 7 Pro also has a faster 90 Hz refresh rate, rivaling gaming phones such as the ROG Phone and the Razer Phone. Both phones have stereo speakers with active noise cancellation as well. Due to the larger screen, the 7 Pro is also physically larger and has a 4000 mAh battery, the largest in a OnePlus phone. The 7 uses a 3700 mAh battery, which is the same capacity as the 6T's. Power and data connections are provided through the USB-C port; both support fast charging with the 7 rated at 20W and the 7 Pro rated at 30W. Biometric options include an optical (under-screen) fingerprint sensor and facial recognition.

Camera

The 7 Pro's all-screen design is enabled by a motorized pop-up selfie camera. The motor is rated as being capable of surviving up to 300,000 actuations. The phone will warn users if they are using the camera too often, and has fall detection which automatically retracts the camera. A warning will also be displayed if the camera is pushed back in manually. Both phones have a 16 MP sensor for the front camera, but the 7 Pro's rear cameras are noticeably upgraded. The primary sensor is 48 MP with OIS; the 7 has a 5 MP depth sensor, while the 7 Pro has a 16 MP wide-angle sensor and an S5K3M3 8 MP telephoto sensor.

Software

OnePlus released OxygenOS 12 H.41 for the 7 and 7 Pro, based on Android 12, but not the OnePlus 7 Pro 5G, which remains on OxygenOS 10.

Although the software maintenance schedule given by OnePlus mentions only two Android upgrades, the devices without 5G received these 2 upgrades to OxygenOS 10 and OxygenOS 11, and then OnePlus delivered a final upgrade to OxygenOS 12 to match the OnePlus 7T and 7T Pro, which each received only 2 upgrades, ending on the same version of OxygenOS.

The screen, performance, cameras and design were all praised, but it received some criticism for the lack of an IP Rating, wireless charging and a headphone jack.
