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.

I remember those days when people used to laugh if someone had a OnePlus device. Most of them considered it to be just another Chinese crap. And today, owning a OnePlus device means you are using one of the best devices in the world. How time changes people's mindset.
Let us know what is your story/memory with your OnePlus device.
(Since the forum was opened in advance and we don't have anything to do for now, let's have some fun.)
Well.. I was always a Samsung/Apple user before OnePlus and I had almost every Galaxy Note, I used to upgrade every year. When Samsung messed up with Note8 I decided to try another brand and I was kinda scared at first but now I'm in love with my OnePlus phone. It has TONS of amazing roms unlike Samsung devices (especially ones with Exynos) and bootloader is easy to unlock, battery life is great, charging is.. unbelievable and OOS is the fastest rom ever. I love OOS gestures too. It's a device that You can easily keep for years.
Now when all these OP7 Pro leaks come out it makes me want to upgrade lol. The only things that are keeping me away from upgrading are:
1. No money.
2. If I'll sell OP6 I won't be able to keep my OP6 roms up to date and I can't do that to people.. so I don't know..
But we will see. Maybe I'll somehow get the money and get that OP7 Pro beast :laugh:
I have no memory of the Oneplus?, but the 7Pro has my attention...
I am the one who first bricked OnePlus One in the world
Then again the first who unbricked it.
heres hoping the oneplus 7 can hold its own against the pixel 3 camera... once oneplus can match or beat pixel cameras, good bye google.
I remember the Oneplus One was a flagship device at a very reasonable price, and I thought "Wow these people are really doing things differently". I also fell in love with the design, the openness, well the overall personality of the company.
Now the price has become the same as similar devices, the design is boring, they use proprietary drivers and even the packaging is... meh. I got the 6T and for my next one I'll look at other brands. They've become another Samsung, which is great for them but not what I came for.
I'm using an OP 5T. I like the performance and the OS experience, definetly will go with OP 7 pro.

yes but the oneplus 7 looks promising
the Oppo Reno has a 48MP primary shooter - the Oneplus 7 will take after the Reno - with a 10x optical zoom.
the sensor is a sony IMX587

QHD, 48MP, 3D Front facing camera, UFS 3.1, USB 4.1, inbuilt FP, and some leaks suggests Stereo Speakers, wireless charging is a gimmick IMO. and its 44W charge on the 7 pro
My friend told me about the OnePlus One when it came out but with the invitation scheme and it being "another Chinese manufacturer", I didn't think much about their chances and didn't bother buying one.
Then I started reading a LOT of glowing recommendations and reviews, unfortunately I already had another phone (Nexus 4 at the time) so didn't bother with it.
When it came time to buy a new phone, the OnePlus 2 was out so I bought that, then the 3T, then the OP5 and next it'll be the OP7Pro
Yes l love my oneplus 5 for it's notification led and the headphone jack?

OP7T, as today
I went from HTC One, to oneplus one, oneplus 3, and now oneplus 7
Not sure where I will go from here, Prices have spiraled up and out of control. Back 6 years ago, my needs dictated using aftermarket roms, but these days the stock roms got me covered for what I need to do, and to be honest, I grew tired of constantly messing with flashing etc...
Watch the video here:
I was lucky enough to attend the OnePlus 7 series launch and got to try out The OnePlus 7 and answer the question who is it for? Well lets take a look at the specs first starting with the screen, a 6.41 inch Optic Amoled sounds fantastic especially at a starting point of only £499 but it pales in comparison to the 90hz QHD behemoth of the 7 Pro, plus there’s a tear drop notch which slightly obscures the viewing experience. Very similar to the OnePlus 6T in fact, however it does have a newer snapdragon 855 chipset with up to 256gb of built in storage and 8gb of RAM meaning the Oneplus 7 is no slouch and will perform like a beast especially with Oxygen OS.
Another major change from the OnePlus 6T is finally finally dual speakers, an omission that OnePlus fans have been craving for a very long time and now OnePlus has made good but in all honesty do these changes really justify upgrading from your OnePlus 6T and I would have to say no. Hear me out for a minute, yes the OnePlus 7 is using LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 3.0 2-Lane storage, the same 3700mah battery, a very similar screen with an in display fingerprint sensor and dual rear cameras one being a 48mp Sony IMX 586 with an aperture of f1.7 and the secondary camera is a 5mp autofocus f 2.4 sensor, as opposed to the 6T’s 16 and 20mp cameras. But at least the 48mp front camera is an improvement over the 16mp front shooter of the 6T.
The build is first rate and feels premium with the glass back and aluminium frame sandwiched between the screen and back panel, the dimensions and weight are almost identical to the 6T, It will come in the mirror Gray which you can see in this video but also a red version specifically aimed at the Chinese and Indian market which gives a substantial hint at who the OnePlus 7 is aimed towards.
To be honest the OnePlus 7 feels super smooth and lightening fast, but then every device from OnePlus does, running android 9 out the box adds to the experience and should help gain some extra battery savings.
So the question is who is the OnePlus 7 aimed at? Ok well if you live in North America clearly not you as it is not being released there, It is however being released in the UK sometime in June. Which is an interesting choice not to launch it alongside the pro variant but my guess would be this decision is to start pushing the pro which lets be honest can no longer be called a flagship killer as it is a flagship. If you have a 6T then this is not really a viable upgrade for you as I feel the OnePlus 7 is really a OnePlus 6TS, If you are coming from an older OnePlus device or are on a tight budget then I conclude this is probably aimed at you. Great device overall but not ground breaking, what do you think?
OP appears to be pricing this around $400-$450 in China sui it really makes me wonder what their strategy. Also makes it more irritating that they're forcing the 6T on us here and charging us more for olderb tech.
Leaves a real sour taste in the mouth for OP.
I'm looking forward to some real reviews of OP7. Coming from OP3T I find the device interesting, but there is a lot of competition at this price point and a lot of more expensive phones have become cheaper since their launch.
I find the 7 Pro too big, I hate the curved screen and the price is too high, but that's debatable.
My shortlist so far are Zenfone 6, Samsung S10e and Xiaomi Mi 9.
Even Huawei p30 pro has come down in price from 1000 euros to 650 euros, making it only 100 euro more expensive than OP7.
The 7 is the same upgrade as usual. The 7 Pro is another phone made for a different customer.
As always the 6 month upgrade is not worth it. For 6T owners the 7T will be their next worthwhile upgrade.

Design wise the Oneplus 7 is same as the 6T. But it has a powerful chip and better fingerprint performance.

And stereo speakers.
I import the OP7 to the US and I love it. To me, it's a vast improvement over the 6T, even the screen seems slightly better, and I'm not sure if that was really touched on. Love the stereo speakers, fast FP reader, speed and even the camera over the 6T. Transferring multiple and large files to the computer is also much quicker.

No issues. Super easy, just download the official update for OOS and flash from the official updater in Hydrogen OS using the local upgrade option. The zip just has to be in the root directory. After flashing, and rebooting, I did a full wipe to clear any residuals, and began to use like normal. The easiest update to official international software ever.

Totally agree with you. I've been really happy with the 7. It's fast and I just love the stereo sound over the 6t. Most 6t cases can be made to fit too. Just had to do a little trimming around the alert slider with some or around the camera LED on others with a xacto razor. I used the official 6T tempered glass on mine too because I could order here from OnePlus directly. That was a direct fit needing no modifications.

Good to hear, I've got some cases and tgsp leftover from the 6t. I've been excited about stereo speakers (without the mod) and ufs 3.0 storage speeds. Can you comment on any difference in speed vs earlier OP phones? Funny question cuz they've always been the fastest and smoothest phones in the biz, I know!
Have you rooted with booting twrp or fully installing twrp?

I didn't bother rooting because I liked the official software just fine because it didn't have any bloat. I just flashed the software from the official OP page in the Hydrogen updater. I did hear that some resellers are installing international for people though, mine had hydrogen os. https://support.oneplus.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4360
The phone is certainly faster, but it's not going to floor you over a 6t. It is much smoother than a 6 and a 5t which I still own. The UFS 3.0 however was much faster when transferring files to and from the device, I noticed that immediately. On the current update, I'm really happy with the camera too. They fixed a lot of the low light issued and sharpness issues in regular lighting. I think the screen is slightly better than the 6t. I know it wasn't advertised really, and I can't quite put my finger on it, but it looks and feels a little better. It's not night and day difference or anything, just a little better IMO. Maybee you'll recognize the same thing since you will have used both phones.

I had trouble with the fps on the 6t but I live in a dry high altitude environment in Colorado so dry rough fingers. Reports say the 7 is much improved. Thoughts?
Did your model come with standard US charging brick? What model number? From where did you order?

The fingerprint scanner really is more accurate. The only time I still have trouble is if my hands are slightly wet. I got the regular US type plug charger with mine. Mine was brand new and sealed from Oppomart. Mine is GM1900. 8GB RAM and 256GB storage.

Yes I've noticed the wet or recently wet hand thing on the fps of the 6t, like if I washed them and my thumb skin is hydrated for a short time before drying it throws the sensor.
I also have the GM1900 on order (eBay US seller never_msrp $539 8/256) and hope to receive a US style plug. Reportedly the Chinese version vs Indian or EU version which would include the different plug type.

My friend has 6T hence I just compared it. FP Radius is much improved. (Approx. 6T - 0.5cm and 7 is 0.7cm),
Also Sensor is damn faster. I bet it's equivalent to my previous OP5 front hardware scanner. 6T is much slow
I'm happy to see a lot of OP7 GM1900 users here. This is my first Oneplus phone and i really enjoy using. Bought mine from a seller in Macau for MOP3550($441) 8+256. No complaints so far about performance
Same here! GM1900 as well - got it for ~$482 though mine was already flashed to Oxygen. Noticed the OP7 forums much quieter than usual, I guess most of the attention is on the more expensive and flashier OP7pro which is warranted, but to me this phone is like "crouching tiger, hidden dragon" !
Hopefully more dev's jump on the bandwagon and start showing it some much needed love.
All I need now is Magisk + root + adblock!
Got mine for the same cost. Yes strangely quiet in here. Some confusion I think pre release before people knew there would be a Pro model. We definitely need more activity on this forum as this is clearly the superior phone
I realize this is kind of a ridiculous threat because that phone is at least 4 months away, although I'm going to be in the market for a new phone, and as far as I can deal there are only two options for unlocked phones on Verizon.
seems like this phone has been getting fantastic reviews. Harvard do you think that the OnePlus will be able to match the hardware? Google seems to have always skimped on the hardware. I'm hoping for at least 8 gig of RAM on the Pixel 4. That being said do you think it is worth waiting for that phone or should I just pull the trigger? Currently have 2 XL and it is running great, I'm just getting bored with it
I assume the pixel 4 will be like the pixel 2 but with hardware upgrades. If you're bored with the pixel OnePlus is a good alternative.
The camera will be a downgrade if you do get the 7pro
I still think there will be a notch or a cut out but it will be a much improved over the 3 XL design.
At least 6gb of ram and better battery life is a must .
The screen on the 3 XL was very good and I'm sure the 4 will be the same but I can't see Google going for the 90hz.
Considering the pixel 3 is still the best cam with an older sensor. I could only imagine what Google could do with updated lens. Maybe wide or telephoto too.
Will be released with Q as well which is looking promising
Thanks for the messages. I assume processor will still be the same? I really don't care about the camera as much. And mainly concerned about speed and performance
Have you seen the proposed apple and Google handset forms. Expect a move back to big square camera mods, and big square panels. Yikes.

Well from what I heard about the pixel3's, OnePlus might have the pixel4xl beat in speed and performance. The OP7P has UFS3.0 and we have a RAM boost, not to mention other variables that contribute to a faster device like almost stock android with OOS. But that is comparing it to an older model... I guess for a final answer we will have to wait until the pixel4xl is released. I'll say the price gap might be significant enough to lean towards the OP7P though.
Pixel 4 needs major changes. Pixel 3 was a step back from pixel 2xl for me personally. 4gb ram with poor ram management made for a frustrating device. Pixel 2xl was one of my favorite phones ever. OP7 pro is very smooth like I was accustomed to with pixel 2xl. Yes camera is not as good but with some patience you can still get quality shots.
It's hard to tell, I would say the 7 pro will be faster but pixel will have better cameras.
It's easy for Google this year though, make a phone with the specs of the 7 pro, no notch and put their camera on it. Even with a 60hz screen I would be tempted. If they do something different I'm not sure what they are up to.
With a once a year concervative release, the Pixel line had always been behind. Except if you want a camera phone...
Google didn't have a good smartphone since Motorola Nexus 6. Before that, Google's (Samsung) Galaxy was a great phone. Except Google pays Samsung or OnePlus to make a new Google phone, I wouldn't bother. They are 2 years behind OnePlus and they are focused on ai and ar, not how to make good smartphone. Also, Google charges too much for crappy phones.
Next great phone will probably be new Samsung Note. The only thing missing on 7 pro would be lack of DeX (hopefully we get that with new iteration of Android OS), and 5x+ "periscope" optical zoom.
Pixel phones have never had particularly exciting hardware, especially if you consider how late in the year it launches. Once again, it seems like it will have a slightly dated look with semi-large bezels for a flagship. Their only redeeming quality is the software and the camera (which we know is also mostly about awesome software).

Pixel might not beat OnePlus 7 Pro in terms of smoothness and speed.. but camera is a different story.. I have 7 Pro and planning to buy Pixel 4.. if the performance degradation is really noticeable, I will return Pixel 4 and keep OnePlus 7 Pro
I think Pixel 4/4XL will be far superior to OnePlus 7 Pro in the camera department only at a guess.

agreed, I think Camera is the one area that pixel is always king.
although that aside, I was disappointed to see that it is only rumored to have six gig of RAM. I can't really see any of the other specs being better than what we currently have. Honestly I'm debating between the 7 plus, before XL, or the next one plus. All I really care about is performance and speed. I'm not a huge photographer

If thats the case then OnePlus 7 Pro is definitely the phone to get.
Don't forget that by when Pixel 4 releases, Oneplus will have a successor to this phone a month later
Big Nexus / Pixel fan here, having owned almost all Nexus phones, and the Pixel 2 XL and now the 3 XL, and only owned the original OnePlus One, but I have to say, that beast had a long life, with ROM's it performed very well for several years, a good 3+ years the OPO was still fast and smooth. But the stock Android experience doesn't seems as cool as it used to, seems a little laggy sometimes, or not as warp speed smooth.
Whereas Oxygen OS is super fast, extreme smooth, and has extra tweaks and more customization baked in. OnePlus phones is sort of like a Pixel that's running a custom ROM and customer tweaked kernel.
So this is how I see it playing out;
- Pixel 4 XL wins in the camera department, and of course first for updates direct from Google. And the little things like wireless charging and official IP68 rating.
- OnePlus 7 Pro wins other areas; smoother faster OS experience. Maybe better display screen. Faster charging. More customization baked in.

Good point. At the very least, night as well wait until the 4 comes out. Will force down prices of the 7, and the 8 will hopefully be released soon after
Which starts another argument- why would someone ever buy a phone with an old outdated processor when a new one was coming out a few months later

Good point. At the very least, night as well wait until the 4 comes out. Will force down prices of the 7, and the 8 will hopefully be released soon after

You buy a phone when you need it, simple as that. Something new is always around the corner, but if you wait for that you will be waiting forever.
Does anyone have any regrets? I was really wanting to pick up a pixel XL when TMO started carrying them but for some foresaken reason it's not a JOD device. Trying to decide if worth it to get 7 pro or wait for pixel devices to be available for JOD..
Close your eyes and let OnePlus take your money. Get the OP7P and forget it!
You ordered it yet?
Only you know whether or not it's worth it. Myself personally, I switched from the OnePlus 6t to the Galaxy s10+ and then to the 7pro and this is the smoothest, beat device I've ever owned. The camera is a lot worse than the Galaxy but holy cow 256gb memory and 90hz is truly epic

I'd keep the s10 for when I was going to take pictures
not the best camera. but everything else is killer.

Yeah with the 6T camera is good enough but not great
OSS v9.5.7 improved the camera greatly.
Go Pro and then enjoy Bro...
Install gcam, no regrets...
No ragrets on my end. Still keeping my 6T as an emergency backup phone. 7 Pro cameras are a big improvement from the 6T IMO, but with the Gcam apk I'm using, I'm getting stellar images for when I need to. The refresh rate on this display is one of the top reasons I got it and no notch/punchole too. I never use my selfie camera so this is perfect for me. I still with this had a headphone jack and Micro SD support but I know that OnePlus will never give us that.
Only mistake is I didn't think OnePlus could get better than the 6t... 7 pro so damn smooth.. Not choppy smooth... And that alone got me here
Using the 6T right now going to wait another year for the next year's oneplus model, may be in display camera/Fingerprint scanner that would be cool.
I've been enjoying mine over the 6T although that's not to knock the 6T in any way, it's still an amazing phone.
However, having an all screen display, symmetrical borders and QHD with a 90Hz refresh rate is enough to upgrade for me.
I picked one up today. So far I do believe it's a definite upgrade.
Any of you using the oneplus switch? If so, does it copy over the data with the apps too?
I updated from the op6 and it's a significant upgrade. The 9.5.7 camera improvements have it basically on par with the pixel phone hard on the camera comparisons I've seen on YouTube between the pixel and 7pro..
The ghost touches some were reporting (I tried and couldn't produce them) have been fixed and eliminated.
Just buy the phone and you'll not regret it.
Picked up the 7 pro from T-Mobile today. Used it out of box for a few hours and when I got home with it finally got to play around with it some more. It's now SIM unlocked and converted to international. Will wait a while before twrp and magisk. Overall happy with phone
No regrets whatsoever, love this phone.
People who dont like the pro are usually those who don't have it. Here it's a camera comparison with the pixel. you decide if it's an issue https://youtu.be/UA_CQ4UBgtg
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.
