Guys you think oneplus will release 7t pro along with regular 7t this autumn?
If yes this is ridiculous...

The Power of Oneplus 7 Pro be with you
Yes, it will probably be based off the phone with in screen front camera
Rumors, but looks like OnePlus keeps moving progressively forward. ?
This is good news. But looking more forward to the
8 pro though.
I think they'll give wireless charging & ip rating,Better Camera in the next release
Wish they could have made a version of the 7 Pro with a FLAT display.
I think they will give us 7t pro.
4 phones in 6 months??
The Power of Oneplus 7 Pro be with you
The 7T, 7T Pro, 7T Pro 5G rumors are getting stronger. A possibility of a Spetember end announcement looks tasty.
In comparison to OP7 Pro,
less curvy edges, less slippery back, way better front cam and better rear cams, official IP rating(by paying less to Robert. D. Junior :laugh: ) etc. are in my wishlist.

They said time after time no wireless charging.
7T to have 2k res, 90Hz RR, 6.55 inch screen, SD 855+, 3800 mAh battery as per this reliable tweet.
Interestingly it says 7T and not 7T Pro. This looks weird and exciting at the same time because personally I did not like the 7 Pro's size, weight, steep curves and the pop-up cam which will not be the case with the 7T while retaining all the good stuff if it turns out to be true.
This way users will have the choice of two different sizes with little compromises.(if at all).
If 7t will get 90 hz,7 Pro's value will decline drastically
7T & 7T Pro full specs:
(launchdate likely to be Oct. 10)
SOURCE
Edit:
OnePlus confirmed that the launchdate is September 26.(7T atleast)
This is amazing news because I think most of the new camera improvements maybe software and can be ported over to the 7 pro hopefully.
So nothing to write home about. Very minor upgrades. an 855 runs everything already with room to spare.

I think 90 hz in 7t & triple camera will definitely hurt 7 pro.

Once the successor gets released, the predecessor's value decreases. This has always been like this.
Only difference is - first time it was of two sizes from OnePlus, hence now two respective successors.
Also, 7T would be a great choice who didn't like the 7 Pro's form factor, weight etc.

& New processor too
855+ is not an upgrade to regular 855. And why would OP make their last line moot?
This is a sucky move from OnePlus tbh. The 7t pro is a useless upgrade . And the 7t will basically be the same as the 7 pro. ?

It's not about offering a new revolutionary product. It's about staying on headlines and maintain their popularity. They can't go a whole year with a drought of releases just cause 7 PRO owners wont be tempted to buy, we are not the target, but if you needed a new phone, it would be smarter to wait 1 month.

so ive been looking to move from my Pixel 3 to a oneplus and.
1- Size:im not into big phones, ive had big ones before and i dont want to go back:
the OP7 is a bit smaller, isnt any noticable on use, or is it just shorte ?
2-Notch:id rather had a teardrop than frankenstein (pop-up)
3- Screen style: straight bezzel is better than curved for me
many complain and i dont think im going to be into the curve
4-Warp charge: would be nice, but not having it aint the end of the world for me
5-Battery: the Non-Pro probably lasts a little more on its 3700 than the 4000 on the pro version taking into consideration the screen ?
6-Resolution and refresh rate: i know ill love it if i see it, but well i can let myself not get used to it, aint that a solution ?
7- MOST IMPORTANT is the camera.... i love my pixel 3 camera and im sad im "downgrading?" but is the OP7 even more of the downgrade from the OP7 pro when it comes to the main shooter if we forget about the wide angle ?
thanks a lot for your time, please weight in
main reason im leaving pixel is that it aint really supported in Norway, so i have problems sometime, no support for 4g calling and wifi-calling which i kinda a killer for me, because im a professional translator and need the call quality
the price difference of 200 euros between OP7 6gb 128gb and OP7P 8gb 256 is not much for me at all, but i just dont want a bigger more expensive phone that i dont really long for currently
If you can buy the op7 pro then go for it.Battery life is better on 7 mainly because of small screen and lower refresh rate and the main shooter performs the same as 7 pro.I personally use op7 and I don't have any complaints
In your case I would by the OP7 (non pro)
I was in the same situation before I bought the standard op7. I also doesn't like the bigger size and the elevator camera. And the curved display is also a con for me.
Camera quality is almost the same if you take normal pictures and nothing special.
Probably the OP7 would work out well...
Camera not great on OnePlus 7 or any other non 7 pro Oneplus,
Maybe go for a Mi 9T or K20 pro or indeed mi 9 which has teardrop notch but good camera,
I would personally get a 7 pro if I didn't already have a 6t.coincidently, I'm thinking of swapping my 6T for a Mi 9T for the greater number of features,better cameras and battery,though am hesitant because I do enjoy quick updates on Oneplus but am realizing a lot of updates are useless updates to weather and other Oneplus apps that you don't need

So you didn't have a OP7 and say camera is bad? Makes sense.
I switched from Mi9 to OP7 and I tell you Camera isn't better if you take standard pictures and nothing special. It's almost the same because the main sensor is the same. (48MP Sony IMX 586)

Believe it or not. OP7 Camera setup isn't the best, that's right but "better" always depends on point of view. It's not right if you say "OP7 is not great". That's absolutely bullsh.. You can take great Pictures even with one less lense.
Btw... I would never trust paid YouTuber...

Sorry for commenting on your new phone dude, your obviously very protective of that bad boy.But having had OnePlus 3,6,and 6T,I still believe OnePlus software is not good enough in the camera department. My 6T sucks without google cam. Xaoimi does it better IMOPO

Hi guys! Bought OnePlus 7 last week and have been playing with it for the past few days.
I have had my usage of flagships and budget phone, as my previous smartphones have been Galaxy S1, HTC One X, Motorola Droid RAZR, Xiaomi Mi3, Nexus 6P, Nokia 7 Plus and now OnePlus 7.
I was also very skeptical about the mixed reviews that this phone received for its camera and picture quality but after buying and using it for a brief time period, I am sure of one thing that it certainly is not "GOD level" aka Pixel Camera but the phone is pretty good for the price that is being offered.
With the OnePlus 7T Pro coming soon.
Our device was released 6 months ago and to me it seems insane, for just a minor update.
But I wonder if some people do upgrade every six months.
I know it is a little sad and irritating not to have latest device, but really even if I had an extra $500 because every six months I doubt I notice any difference.
It would be a net $500 because I can sell my current device even still with such a minor update I can wait.
Smart phones you can never have that new device feeling long.... next week there will be something just a bit newer and faster.
I probably won't get the 7T but I'll definitely be keeping an eye out on the Pixel 4. Soli aside, the device looks promising (thank goodness that notch is gone)
It's bad enough that we have to deal with Google because of Android and services... Would never buy a Google piece of hardware.

I upgrade from the OP6 to the 6T then to the 7 Pro. I will skip the 7T pro since the update is just too small.
Not really much of a update. My 7Pro still Rock's!
Saw the new OnePlus 7T Pro specs, if they're true, the only difference is the new Snapdragon 855+, which is just minor overclocked version. So no reason to upgrade. They say the camera has an improved macro mode but I doubt that that is more than a small software gimmick.
I'll wait to see what the OP8 brings and maybe the pixel 4 xl. That chin though in 2019
Pretty much the only let down with the OP7 Pro is the wide angle and telephoto lenses are ****. I'll wait for the OP8 Pro. Hopefully we will get periscope zoom lens and 4k 60fps video capture on the wide angle. I actually like the pop up camera on the OP7 Pro, I hope they keep it for next year... If they follow Oppo's shoes then they will try adopt an In display camera..Which will suck.
OPPO unveiled the 65w charging tech. And charged a 4000mah phone in 25 minutes. Hopefully OP inherit that on the Oneplus 8
Went from pixel 2 xl to 7 pro. Only thing I miss is the camera.

Doesnt matter if the notch is gone when it has a whole airport at the top lol! IT just looks like the non 3 XL and Google should really hire a different design team. We're in 2019 and not 2017 lol

Yeah the design still isn't going to win any awards, but I'd still way rather have a bezel than a notch. I hate notches lol
I only buy the regular OnePlus phones... OP5, OP6 now the OP7 Pro. The reason is simple, when I get the phone in May I have the latest SoC (SD855 in this case) for the next year. The T varients are minor tweaks to the regular phones launched in the first half of the year. Why would I buy a phone when in 6 months will have an outdated SoC? This way I buy the phone in May and have the latest for a years time and not 6 months.
And don't go try spouting off about the 7T Pro will have the SD855+. That is just an overclocked 855. You will not see ANY real life performance increases.
If they would flatten out the curve screen more on the Tpro then, I'll go for it. The light reflection on the sides on the 7pro is very annoying.

I went from an Essential PH1 to the 6T then to the 7 Pro.
No point for the 7T to 7T Pro for me.
I'll wait for the 8 pro or 8T Pro. SD865 and other updates.
I upgrade phone on processor cycles.
So the SD855+ in the newer devices is nothing more than a SD855 clocked faster than the current device.
Hello everyone, I want to buy a OnePlus phone & have to choose between OnePlus 7 Pro vs OnePlus 7T which should I pick? Please help me decide.
It all comes down to your personal preference.
Do you prefer a curved display or a flat one.
You want more battery capacity or you think the new warp 30t charging tech can make up for having a smaller battery..
Do you prefer a notch or you want to wow people with a pop up selfie camera.
Do you feel the slight improvement that the 855+ has is better for you..
Other than those things. Battery capacity, display, notch/pop up.. and charging tech the phones are almost the same and yeah that macro lens..
I'm on the fence on which to buy myself..

7 pro's display is hands down one of the best display in the market right now.
If you want 256GB of storage you have to get a Pro. 7T maxes out at 128GB. Also the 7 Pro can be had with 12GB of RAM.
I would also add aesthetics...for me anyway...that back camera circle thing is just plain-ol-UGLY! The 855+ is a non-issue as I highly doubt you will ever see, or experience anything that shows one over the other. All the other arguments previously mentioned may be valid.
P.S. I have the 7 Pro and despite many who disagree with me online...I have tried both screen resolutions, as well as 90 vs 60 refresh rate....and there is just NO difference to me at all! (Let me get my flame suit zipped up here...) I am running all the latest software updates, I have had the phone for several weeks now, I have swapped the various screen settings many times with different apps....and...NO discernible difference!
I have wondered if by some chance the settings do nothing??? Maybe the screen is set to its highest available DPI and refresh rate and switching to the lower settings is not doing anything???
Or, maybe it is the other way around??? That the screen is set on the lowest settings and switching it to the higher settings does not really change anything??? YMMV
But I am telling you that the 7 Pro flies through anything and everything I throw at it. (I do not play games though) So, it is up to you! Boy it sure is getting warm in here.
Also, according to jerryrigeverything, the 7T suffers structural weakness for that ugly camera circle, the 7t he was testing cracked on the first stress test. While i am in no way a fan of the curved screen, i do appreciate a notchless QHD display.
One more thing which may, or may not be an issue for some...the notification slider button is smaller on the 7T than on the 7 Pro.
I would say for now the OnePlus 7 Pro for the win!
I have both. Right now I'm using the 7T as my daily driver. I like the flat edges but the notch is a little annoying since the apps cant use that space.
I would get the 7 pro. The curved edges and bezel less screen is amazing. 7t has an ugly back.
7 Pro also has a better display in terms of resolution.
I bought the 7 Pro about a month ago coming from a pixel 2 XL. The phone is great in every respect. The only thing that bothers me is the weight. This thing weighs a lot. ?

I honestly cannot believe that in 2020 we are going backwards to a teardrop or hole punch designs in flagship phones. I'm stunned that OnePlus views this is an upgrade. Is there any flagship that is full screen ala the 7 Pro? I keep looking for one and haven't seen anything but hope there is a design I missed from any phone maker.

Yes I find a hole in the display quiet a backstep. I have 0 issue with the movable camera. I will anyways stick to the op7pro its still a beast of a phone. I will upgrade to the op9pro.
sadly i don't see the pop-up trend coming back.
It'll be with in-display camera when we'll see a full screen front and that too with 2nd gen in-display camera.s I think the first gen will surely have some visible hole/s.
After I sold my p20 pro I was going to get oneplus 8 pro but after I read about its screen green tint issues I decided to....go for 7 pro instead
I realised I don't wanna pay that much for gimmicks I don't really care about. the deal was great so if the camera is satisfactiory I'll keep it for another 2 years.

I'll wait until they have camera under display with no hole punch.
My 7 Pro works just fine. I got the 12/256GB version at launch so no motivation for the SD865 or 5G.
SD865 doesn't offer enough performance boost (10-15%). I'm not seeing any issues with what I have.
5G is overrated right now.
I’m struggling with this one, as far as I can tell the reason to go 8 rather than 7t pro is 5g and the newer chip and maybe smaller footprint, whereas on the side of the 7t pro is the larger higher res display and arguably nicer design.
I believe the main cameras are the same?
Is there anything else to consider that I have missed?
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Well I came from the 7t regular and I can say that it is a much hardier phone than the 8 regular. I despise curved screens but they aren't really that much of an issue for me as I thought it would be. Display wins on the 7t for that reason.
I upgraded solely for 5g. Let me tell you, TMobile 5g is complete trash. I got 90+Mbps on the 7t on lte yet using 5g I am LUCKY to break 25mbps!
Everything else is about the same.
Stick with the 7t pro until the 8t comes out is my humble opinion here.

As @Josh McGrath stated,he pretty much nailed it.
ATM I have both,so,no "grass is greener" bias here.
The OP8 has a less exaggerated curve on the sides.
Whether that's an asset is entirely up to you.
The OnePlus 7 Pro gets a big win with the pop-up camera, maximum display & no hole punch to hide.
The OP8 gets a slight nod for performance & battery life,but,not enough to make that the sole factor,if all other things are equal to you.
The OnePlus 8 also gets the nod for feel in hand, noticeably lighter & narrower grip,IMHO a major plus vs the OnePlus 7 Pro.
The OnePlus 7 Pro still has the older swipe navigation,the back action a swipe up on the left or right bottom vs the OnePlus 8's newer gestures,a side swipe from the side being the back action.
I prefer the OnePlus 7 Pro on this point,but,I added the app Fluid Navigation Gestures to add the side swipe action (no root/ADB required),so,best of both worlds.
As for cameras, I can't say, I'm a point & shoot guy,not very demanding on cameras in general. If cameras are of the utmost importance, either check the ROMs/mods section for camera tweaks,or, possibly consider a Pixel device.
So,if push comes to shove,I'd say it comes down to how much you need 5G.
Toss that aside,& by the narrowest of margins, I'd pick the OnePlus 7 Pro.
If you don't mind the hole punch (hiding it is an option) & need 5G , grab the OnePlus 8.
Honestly,you can't lose with either,5G being the biggest major difference.
If you're on T-Mobile, perhaps split the difference & get the OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Edition.

Does the 7t Pro really still not have the android 10 gestures? Having worked around this issue on a Samsung before it is an annoyance for sure.
I would buy another 8 Pro but I am convinced that the screen has flaws that software can only try and cover up so am not going there again. It is a shame that they did not put a better main camera in the 8 as I think there are enough other differentiators to justify the pro. Google and Apple are now offering very good main cameras in their budget offerings.
I have a Pixel 4 XL, the phone itself is really quite unremarkable, dull even but that camera when used as a P&S just nails it most of the time, only the iPhone 11 pro comes close IMO. I'd settle for not quite as good as that providing that results are better than the blurry mess Samsungs put out if the subject even thinks about moving slightly.

I take that back on the navigation gestures,there is a choice between the Android 10 gestures & the ones that shipped with the phone on Android 9 (along with the nav buttons,of course).
The OnePlus 8 does not have the choice of the old style navigation gestures,just the Android 10 style & the navigation buttons.
Sorry'bout that, I swear I didn't see that a day ago, perhaps it was included on the update (for the T-Mobile version) that just went live yesterday.
Perhaps others will chime in on the cameras, I'm definitely sitting that one out,above my pay grade & as far as picture quality, I'm not too picky ,as long as it's quick to focus, I'm good.
@Arsenal
I also owned the OP7T Pro 5G McLaren Edition for several months, as recently as late April/early May & it did have the Android 10 gestures, so, nothing to worry about there.
One area worth mentioning again is the feel in hand:
The OnePlus 8 is noticeably lighter,with the OP7 Pro feeling a bit top heavy.
The OnePlus 8 is also narrower in grip.While the difference doesn't look like much on paper, the phones couldn't feel more different, big advantage to the OnePlus 8.
Just want to iterate, if 5G is not all that important, the nod,by the narrowest of all margins, goes to the OP7 Pro/7T Pro vs the OnePlus 8.
I wonder how good GCAM is on the 7t pro or 8?
It has been a long while since I have used GCAM on a SD enabled device but the last time I did the results were impressive

GCAM is always better than the default camera.
John Lewis had a cracking deal on the 7 pro so I got one.
Having recently had the 8 pro what jumps out is maybe this is the first year that last years phone does not look and feel inferior or dated vs the this years. Not just Oneplus too, arguably the S10 and P30 pro are no real step down either.

The reason is that despite the price drop the OnePlus 7T and 7T PRO it still is not worth it when compared to the 8.
If you have the OnePlus 7 there is no reason to be in the market to buy a new smartphone. If you buy smartphones every year then you are part of the tech enthusiast minority and my reply is not for you
The reason why the OnePlus 8 makes more sense for most people is:
- OS Updates. The OnePlus 7 is older and will reach its end of support sooner than the OnePlus 8.
- Battery life. No other factor limits your device lifespan than battery life. The OnePlus 8 has a larger battery resulting in higher SOT according to most tests.
- Performance. Both the OnePlus 8 and 8 PRO surpass last year models benchmarks.
- Price. At $700 the OnePlus 8 is not cheap. But if you are on the market to buy a new phone, then you do your homework and search for the best deals. The OnePlus 8 can be found for $550-$600 if you search for deals.
If you still think the OnePlus 8 at $600 is too expensive, then why consider the $500 OnePlus 7? That´s expensive as well. If for instance price is more important for you then OxygenOS and fast OS upgrades, then go for the POCO F2 PRO. It´s pretty close to the OnePlus 8 specs at a OnePlus 7 price.
If you don't care about future proof performance, battery life and other aspects and just want a cheaper device that gets the latest updates, go for the Pixel.
Now if you want a well balanced device, that will get the latest updates just a bit latter then Google releases them to the Pixel but also offers better specs in terms of performance, battery and screen, than the OnePlus 8 is a good choice.
