. Both have stereo speakers with active noise cancellation, although the audio jack is still omitted. The 7T uses a 3800 mAh battery, while the 7T Pro uses a 4085 mAh battery which is marginally larger than the 7 Pro's. Power and data connections are provided through the USB-C port; fast charging is supported at 30W. Warp Charge 30T is now supported, which is 23% faster than Warp Charge 30 which was used on the 7 Pro. Biometric options include an optical (under-screen) fingerprint sensor and facial recognition.

Camera

A 16 MP f/2.0 sensor is used for the front camera, while the rear has an upgraded triple camera setup. The 7T Pro uses a mechanized pop-up camera like on the 7 Pro. The array on both phones consists of a primary lens, a telephoto (zoom) lens, and an ultrawide lens. The primary wide lens has a 48 MP sensor, while a 16 MP sensor is used for the ultrawide lens and a 12 MP sensor is used for the telephoto lens. The 7T Pro's camera hardware is unchanged, with a 48 MP lens, a 16 MP ultrawide lens and an 8 MP telephoto lens, but it can now record ultra slow-motion 720p video at 960 fps (the 7T also receives the same upgraded slow-motion capabilities) and the laser autofocus has been relocated to the left of the camera. While the 7T's telephoto lens benefits from an increase in resolution and a wider f/2.2

opposed to the 7T Pro's 78 mm focal length. The ultrawide lens has also been upgraded; it is 17 mm compared to 13 mm on the 7T Pro. Additionally, both phones benefit from a new macro mode which allows users to take photos from as close as 2.5 cm away from the subject. A new Hybrid Image Stabilization for video is also available, and Portrait Mode and Night Scape can now be used on the wide and ultrawide lenses respectively.
