The OnePlus 7 is a dependable, affordable flagship smartphone, but if you're looking for fancy 2019 features you won't find them here. It's got high-end power and in-display fingerprint scanner, but borrows a lot from its predecessor.

The OnePlus 7 is a cautious upgrade from the 6T: the same design and the same display with beefed up specs, a new camera, and a few small software tweaks. It’s not a game-changer by any means, but it is a confident, ridiculously fast mid-range device that should appeal to anyone who’s been tempted by a OnePlus device before.
Those that want a true upgrade should consider the OnePlus 7T, boasting many of the headline specs of the 7 Pro.

El OnePlus 7 es una cuidadosa actualización del 6T: el mismo diseño y la misma pantalla con especificaciones mejoradas, una nueva cámara y algunos pequeños ajustes de software.
No lo hemos percibido como un cambio radical de ninguna manera, pero parece un dispositivo de gama media seguro y competitivo que debería atraer a cualquiera que ya haya sido tentado antes por un dispositivo OnePlus.

OnePlus 7 is the most balanced phone you will probably hold in your hands this year. It's got a design that works with some minor touch-ups, a great viewing experience, sheer power under the hood and decent pair of cameras that won't let you miss any moment. On combining these elements with OxygenOS optimizations, we have a great flagship phone that does the basics right and then some.

This is a steady, slightly predictable update to the OnePlus 6T that is clearly trying to entice those who haven’t updated in a few years. If you’re coming from a OnePlus 3T or even a 5 or 5T, then the difference should feel significant. This is a great value phone that’s a strong competitor to the excellent Xiaomi Mi 9.

One of the most obvious differences between the OnePlus 7 and its more professional (if only in name) sibling, is the assortment of cameras on each phone’s back. Both lead with the 48-megapixel Sony IMX586 sensor that a number of other phones have employed this year (everything from likes of the

Without close inspection, it isn’t easy to tell the OnePlus 6T and OnePlus 7 apart; they look remarkably similar in both design and (more importantly) size. As such, it’s not all that surprising that the newer 7 comes with an identically-sized battery to its predecessor.
