I have recently sold my Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus to get the Oneplus 7 pro, which I haven't bought it yet, however passing through comments and reviews on YouTube, some say that the 7T will be released really soon, but it will be focused on 5G capability.
I really don't care about 5G, but what about the processor? SD855+ which is slightly overclocked.
While now the 7 is cheaper than it was when it's first released... Should I wait?
Any comments and advices are welcome!
you will get a slightly faster cpu which our phones max out every game out there already. They might use an under screen camera. What else can you do to a phone? Phones have tapped out. All they can do now is add gimmicky ****.
They said they are keeping the same design of the oneplus 7 pro. Probably 855+ which 100% of people will not see a different just a few numbers higher in benchmarks. Add water resistant ip rating and wireless charging. Maybe a new faster charger since oneplus is now beat by the note 10+ with only their 25w charger. Maybe screen push to 120hz. But who knows. All this are my thought. But they definitly keep the same pop up camera design
7 T will release in october or november, depends when it will be ready.
5G network it's a joke now !
7 pro T can't have too much new hardware/options.
Could be More Expensive than 7 pro...
Wait for the pixel 4. Camera is still better. While we use gcam to get a better photo. Pixels just use the original gcam without a mess
I don't even buy a pone in the fall as you're getting a phone with an SoC (SD855) that will be replaced with a new SoC in just 3 months or so. I'm not paying full price for a phone that will be outdated so soon after buying it. Buying the phones in the spring lets you have the latest tech for a year before anything new comes out. I've bought 3 OP phones now, OP5, OP6, and the OP 7pro. I would never spend my money on a T version. When I buy the regular version nothing the whole rest of the year will have a better SoC sooo!?
It's like buying a car in August, you wouldn't want to pay new car price when it's about to be a leftover as the new models are coming out.
OnePlus 7 Pro for the win now! You could always sell it later if you see something better...
Do wish they would flatten out the screen a little more....the curve screen on the 7pro is difficult to view under light because of the reflection on the sides.

Yes buy overclocking if you wanna keep divice for 1 year. After one year you have higher chance of dying cpu.

The SD855+ is a newer version of the SD855 that increases the speed of the core.
People just callout overclocked, but Qualcomm has increased the clock and certified functionality and longevity at that new increase in. speed.
They will essentially be the same thing. I'd get the 7pro now, but if you can wait and can spend the extra ~$200 the 7Tpro will be great too.
I can upgrade my phone in like a month or so and TMobile just got the 7pro McLaren edition I was thinking of upgrading and wanted to ask if I should pull the trigger or not.
Wait for 8 pro
If you can't wait for the 8pro around June 2020, then 7pro for now...
8 Pro would be a downgrade for me, going from all screen to punch hole for camera

If the leaks are true I'm not looking forward to the hole punch display. But then it's do I deal with it for the 865 or just go with a one gen old processor with a bezeless design.

I could wait but I'm not sure if TMobile is going to axe it due to lack of sales like they did with the 7 pro.

I'm not American but from what I've read they only did that due to the Oneplus 7T because the 7T pro isn't for sale there

They have a deal with OnePlus to sell them in the states originally it was because of lack of sales of the 7 Pro but I think it was because they wound up carrying the McLaren edition.
Nooo, wait for 10 pro.. :laugh: seriously what are you guys saying to him, wait for 8 pro wait for that, i mean he wanna change device now, and you are telling him to wait anyway mr OP in my opinion 6t is a great for now, but if you really wanna update device, then go for 7pro (not for 7t pro or Any McLaren) enjoy the whatever current device you have, and change it to Upgrade when you feel bored.. peace
I like curved screens, if they produce an 8 Pro 6.7" curved with 865 processor, 120hz, battery life and finally gives us AOD and proper Samsung features in the OS like edge lighting as well, it would be worth it, because you can botloader unlock and root as well.
Otherwise, will just be another Apple trick on users, minimal upgrade for a lot more money. Also, they need to get their camera game elevated up higher for $900 phones.
McLaren edition? Unless you can only find the 7T pro McLaren edition, then I'd just go with a vanilla 7 Pro(if that's what OnePlus is selling in your country) or vanilla 7T pro from their website. The biggest difference at least state-side is that the McLaren edition through T-Mobile has their implementation of 5G on it and depending on the variant of 7 Pro, it has more RAM. you won't get a massive performance boost coming from the 6T, but that's the phone my wife has, and the screen is a night and day difference( I just came from a 3T, so I can't really comment too much on performance, but her phone performs just fine compared to the 7 Pro) but it's worth it for the notchless display and that buttery smooth 90 Hz 1440p+ screen alone!
Lol everyone saying to wait... Might as well wait til we're on Mars, then you can get the Mars edition...
In all seriousness, upgrade. I picked up my 7t pro mclaren edition from T-Mobile couple of days ago and don't regret it one bit. The phone is amazing. I upgraded from the galaxy s8 plus. T mobile is running an up to $300 off trade in promotion.

This close I would probably wait for the 8 Pro or whatever it will be called.
I upgraded from the 6T to the 7 Pro as soon as it came out.
The 8 will have the SD865 and like the 7T McLaren, the x55 modem.
Presumably the 8 will be unlocked for all carriers. I'd wait.
Upgrade to the 7pro Bro and you wont regret it. After seeing that hole punch the Oneplus 8 lost all appeal for me. The design of the 7pro will stand the test of time with its "True" screen to body ratio. I still would get the 7pro over the McLaren because of the lack of any significant changes that would justify spending an extra $250-300 and the 7pro already has an established development platform.

TMobile dropped the 7 pro in favor of the 7T pro McLaren edition. I'm really not a fan of the hole punch display so I think I'll just grab the McLaren edition when I get the chance

Same lol............ I.... can't.... Stand.... Punch holes, tear drops, notches, and aggressively large bezel dimensions. It's why I didn't get pixel 3 & 4 XL's or any recent Samsungs. But to be fair the 4 XL only had the bulky bezel up top. But still it was one bulky bezel too many for my investment. Pleasing design is a pretty big deal for me ?.

I mean, there's nothing wrong with it. you'll get the added bonus of T-Mobile's implementation of 5g at least. I just know that they had a massive sale this month and I was able to get the original oneplus 7 pro through OnePlus for 550(8 GB, 256 GB model). I think they're practically sold out at this point though.
There's also that macro motor in the camera as well, that I would love to have, but hey, I'll save the money instead. it's also a personal choice too as I don't have any attachment toward the McLaren brand, so I don't really want the branding on my phone.
tl;dr. if you want a good solid upgrade, you won't go wrong with the 7t pro McLaren, it's just if you can find it, the 7 pro is likely cheaper, and about the same, minus the branding, the macro motor, and the RAM(depending on the model)
I've been planning to upgrade from my Lenovo Zuk Z2 Plus to a OnePlus phone for a few months because of OnePlus's wide development support. My first option was 6T because of my budget (~300 for pre-owned). But after these months now I can afford a 7 series. But the confusion is which one to choose.
The Z2 had and has a strong custom ROM support for past years so I can't go for any device without it. That's why I'm going for OP device and it's my wish to own one since it's first launch in 2014.
So far after reading the threads of all 7 series phones including the 7T series, I think 7 Pro is the device with wide range of development support with most custom ROMs. But for my budget I could afford a 7 or 7T maximum or a 7 Pro with 6GB 128. If I pick 7 Pro with 6GB RAM will it perform worse than 8GB one? I'm a casual user but play with rooting, modding and so on. I stopped playing games completely a few years ago so it doesn't matter.
Since the upcoming OP 8 series will most likely with punch hole display which I never like. So if I buy a 7 Pro with 6GB it should last at least the next two years without any issue.
Please help me if I can go with 7 Pro 6GB 128GB, or should pick any bigger spec, or any other series.
I complied the list of OnePlus 7 series ROMs. At present 7 Pro beats the rest in number of ROMs.
OnePlus 7 - Unofficial Lineage OS, Potato OS(Alpha), Kali NetHunter (overlay)
OnePlus 7 Pro - PE, xXX no limits, Evolution X, Havoc OS, BlissRoms, Paranoid Android Quartz (Beta), Unofficial Lineage OS, MIUI 11, crDroid, OmniRom, Elemental X, CarbonROM, Resurrection Remix, Kali NetHunter (overlay), AOSiP 9, and much more OOS based, Pixel based ROMs and many Pie ROMs
OnePlus 7T - OmniRom, AOSiP (Alpha)
OnePlus 7T Pro - OmniRom

I doubt you'll lose a significant amount of performance going with the cheaper model. If it's any consolation, my OnePlus 3T has the same RAM configuration, and while yes it's slower due to the snapdragon 821, it is still a very solid performer. I believe the Pixel 4 does as well, and OOS is not super bloated or anything like that. If you can swing it, I'd go for one of the 8 GB or 12 GB models, but those seem to be a bit difficult to come across new at this point. It seems like OnePlus may be clearing out their inventory as they had a sale on all of the 7 pro models, and the only one that's left in stock was the 6 GB/128 GB model, but that's pure speculation on my part lol
TL;DR If you can, get the higher RAM model of the 7 Pro, if not, then the 6 GB model should be okay, but that's entirely up to you. You pretty much only lose some multitasking capacity
I just tried my friend's OP 7 Pro for the first time, but unfortunately it's too uncomfortable for my (small) hands. I tried with and without the back cover I found too much difficult to perform daily using apps. The curved screen is very great to look but it isn't user friendly (in my case). My friend has bigger hands he can use the phone very easily.
Everything is great, the 90Hz display, camera, and of course the speakers. It's just a few mm longer in all sides and about some grams heavier than 6T (which too he has) but I found it very difficult to use. I'm very sad that I didn't expect this kinda thing. Don't know what to do ?

Thank you so much for the detailed response but I can't decide if I should buy it or not because I think it won't be comfortable for my usage.
I think I better go for Redmi K20 Pro (Mi 9T Pro). I can get the highest end version 8GB 256GB for $340 with 1 year protection plan. For OnePlus 7 Pro with that spec it costs $600 without any protection plan. Redmi K20 Pro also has a wide range of development support, that's why I chose that. Please let me know your comments.
I am in the market for an upgrade for my 3 year old Oneplus 3T. And while I love my current device the constant usage and drops has meant the phone has taken damage. More than a month ago the power button broke and I couldn't operate the phone. That time the only available Oneplus model was Oneplus 7T so decided to go for it. But during my researching I came to know about Oneplus 8 and the pending release of Nord. And as I waited for the release of these phones Oneplus 7T has started disappearing. Now with OnePlus nord finally into the hands of people who are using it as a daily driver, I am wondering how does it compare to the last year flagship? (the missing 5G notwithstanding. And I think 5G is going to take ~3 yrs in India which might be the time to change my phone again).

I think the mid-end procesor is best for performance/power cosumption and heat generator. You don't need more benchmark power to daily use. No freezes, no sharpness. Best battery performance with one plus 8 screen like. Imho nord is better than even one plus 8 and better than one plus 8 pro if u prefere not so big (6.8 inch.) phones. They need to workaround software little more. This is just new phone so they will
Nord:
- better battery (SOT)
- 5G
- newer phone
- dev support probably better here on xda, not sure.
7T:
- more power (CPU/GPU)
- better camera setup (main sensor is same)
- stereo sound
I have both phones and the performance is great on both!
If you wanna play games on ultra graphics blabla, you will notice the 7T runs much better. But for daily non gaming usage the Nord is more than enough. It's up to you.
Thank you guys for the inputs. I am going ahead with Oneplus Nord.
I'm at the point where i want to switch from my OP7T Pro to the Nord.
765 is more then good enough, 8 series cpu isn't necessary for most people.
Main cam is the same.. the only thing i would probably miss are the stereo speakers.
I would prefer the Nord because off it's smaller size, it's not as heavy, no edge screen, better battery consumption and dual front cam which i like for taking family selfies.
And i think and hope that because of it's price the custom rom community will be very active.
Are you willing to spend as much or a little more on the new Google Pixel 7 Pro, which seems to be a best of smartphone?

It turns out that the Pixel 6 Pro uses the Shannon A5123 5G modem made by Samsung, the Shannon 5511 sub-6GHz FR1 transceiver box, and the Shannon 5710 FR2 mmWave transceiver. The latter is missing from the non-US versions of the Pixel 6 Pro.
Subject to confirmation, the Pixel 7 Pro is said to use Samsung's Exynos 5300 modem
We'll just have to wait and see what modem Google uses for the 7 series and the 7 Pro in particular

From what I've heard, it will have a new modem. That's why I nearly surely will get the 7 Pro.

There are no sources so no Kernel/Rom, lenses are blocked so no gcam, and there is no msm download tool anymore,
Soo OP 10 pro is trash.
I want to like the P7P, I want to get one, but the more I look at it, the more I lean towards jumping ship for Samsung or most likely Apple. It would be my first apple mobile device, but aside from the eSIM all seems well.
The P6 is dreaded, and it took them way too long to offer software fixes.
I'm worried about the modem and don't understand why they're not going with Qualcomm.
It doesn't look like we'll be getting much in terms of camera improvement.
The battery will most likely be similar to the P6.
To answer your question plainly, I don't think there is any price point that justifies the risk of another failed device. I plan on waiting for the reviews. If the modem ain't stellar, it will be an automatic no from me because of my remote usage. If the modem works as well as the competition, then I'll have a hard time choosing.
Not interested at this time, but will be watching hand's on reports and reviews....
After hearing that it still has A55 cores, it's a no for me. I have not decided if I'm sticking with my OnePlus 9 or switching back to iPhone (I was on the 12 Pro Max for the last two weeks but the OOS13 beta dropped on the OnePlus 9 today and I kind of like it so I'm back on the OnePlus for now) but most relevant to this thread, I'm *not* going back to Pixel.
I'm writing this from a pixel 2 XL. Was previously using a One Plus 9 Pro. Had to switch back after the hyped up Hasselblad camera stopped focusing. In hindsight, it was a mistake to go with the one plus brand. My old pixel 2 it's working much better, and I will certainly be getting the 7 Pro
Will depend on modem. The modem on Pixel 6 Pro is absolute dog**** worst I have used.
But I will be getting rid of the Pixel 6 Pro, this is by far the worst phone I have ever used.
I am very happy with the 6 pro, but I like the look of the new minimal curve on the 7 pro. if there is also a higher peak brightness i'll be tempted, depending on trade in deals.
I did not plan on buying the P7 Pro, but since it does bring in a couple serious improvements, I made my pre-order today
- finally we get decent 10 bit HDR recording
- Faceunlock (as far as the presentation went, it's only for unlocking the phone and will not work as a biometric in-app or to make a payment)
- finally a decent peak brightness to work in the sun (1500 nits)
- 20 vs 30 res zoom with new nifty features
- macro mode (missed that since my ancient Samsung Galaxy alpha days), guided frame also looks promising for making videos
- better modem (this one needs reviews of course to validate any improvements; the P6 Pro modem is terrible)
- Tensor 2 should bring, if we look at the node and Googles claims, a 20% improvement in efficiency = better battery life
- and last but not least, the deciding factor that made me get the P7 Pro... European Google store offer the Pixel Watch LTE, valued at 429 €, for free when pre-ordering the 899 € P7 Pro. If I couple that with Rakuten and a Google Store cashback of 10% (Google One, 2 TB), sell the watch and my old phone, I get a new shiny phone and will actually have more money than I started out with. That's great of course.
In July, I had planned to buy the Nothing Phone(1) which looked interesting, and which is despite its setbacks the 1st smartphone produced by Nothing. Then, for personal reasons, I didn't buy it, and I turned to the Pixel 7 series that was supposed to arrive.
Very tempted by the 7Pro in 256GB, I hesitated for a long time and changed my mind again.
Looking at the specs, even if Google has improved this 7 series, I'll try to wait for the 8 series, which should arrive with a new processor and finally a non-curved screen and maybe a significantly reduced size for the 8Pro 256GB.
I'm staying with my OP 7T 256GB which I'll soon upgrade to custom rom, as OnePlus is not in a hurry to upgrade it to OOS12.
I wish you good time for the owners Pixel 7 serie

I'm not sure if that hope of yours will result in reality. Google has made it clear that they are all about design and how it looks, and less about function. Just listen to the people presenting Pixel products, look at the Pixel watch (little screen real estate (square smartwatches have great advantage) and continental sized bezels are okay, as long as it looks good): the aesthetic is of greater importance to Google than practicality.
There is simply nothing to indicate that Google would steer away from that path. They consider a curved display to look nice.
Ergo I highly doubt that Google would dramatically change that business strategy for the next iteration of this phone. People like you and me, who would enjoy an even panel more, are simply not in the targeting group of Googles marketing.
The Pixel 7 Pro is almost perfect but the Pixel 6 has the worst connectivity and reception of any phone I've used, even behind the Galaxy devices.
No reviews means it would be just great on paper.
it's time to retire my oneplus 7 pro and get pixel 7 pro
I really wish google would get into the charging game like the oneplus 10 plus... That thing charges from 20% to 80% in 10 minutes
