OnePlus officially announced the latest OnePlus 7T during a global unveiling event from India. The successor to the OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7 Pro, the latest OnePlus 7T gets its fair share of upgrades across the board.
Some of the handset’s highlights include a frost mist matte glass build, triple rear cameras on the back, as well as a 90Hz AMOLED screen – all for less than $600. Here’s what’s new in the OnePlus 7T.
Display
The OnePlus 7T packs a 6.55-inch Full HD AMOLED display with a resolution of 1920×1080 pixels. Besides, the OnePlus 7T offers a screen refresh rate of 90Hz, along with a taller aspect ratio of 20:9 giving it a more compact form factor. The 90Hz refresh rate allows the screen to refresh itself within just milliseconds – 40 milliseconds, to be exact – which is a boon when playing high-end games or binge-watching TV shows.
Elsewhere, the waterdrop notch gets reduced by 31 percent which would make watching movies or playing games even more immersive. It also offers other useful features such as HDR10+ compatibility along with a high peak brightness of 1000 nits.
More power
Under the hood, the OnePlus 7T gets powered by the latest Snapdragon 855 chipset clocked at 2.9Ghz bundled with 8GB of RAM. Besides, Qualcomm claims a 15 percent performance improvement on the Adreno 640.
Storage
The handset is offered in two choices when it comes to storage – 128GB and 256GB. However, it’ll be offered in 128GB storage in most markets. Besides, the Chinese manufacturer is also offering 5GB of cloud storage for free. Also, there’ll be an additional 50GB of cloud storage for free, though the offer is only valid for the first year.
Software
Elsewhere, the OnePlus 7T will be the first smartphone to ship with the latest Android 10 OS out-of-the-box. The company’s proprietary OxygenOS 10 runs on top.
Camera
In the photography department, the OnePlus 7T packs a triple-camera system on the back with a 48MP primary sensor, 12MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom, and a 16MP ultra-wide sensor with a 117-degree field of view. For selfies, there’s a 16MP front-facing shooter.
Bigger battery and faster charging
Juicing up the handset would be a 3800mAh battery with support for fast charging with the bundled 30W Warp charger. Boasting about the handset’s fast charging ability, OnePlus claims it’s 23 percent faster than the previous-gen Warp charging facility. Other key features on the OnePlus 7T include UFS 3.0, an in-display fingerprint scanner, as well as face detection feature.
Pricing and Availability
The OnePlus 7T will be available in the US starting October 18 for $599 via OnePlus.com, T-Mobile.com, and in T-Mobile stores. The handset will be offered in a choice of Frosted Silver and Glacier Blue color variants.
