OnePlus 7 Pro review

14 May 2019
OnePlus has always sort of been a niche enthusiast's smartphone brand which may not be as popular as the majors, but it's carved a pretty nice niche for itself by delivering great smartphone hardware at equally great price points.

WillNonya, 19 May 2019I really don’t understand some of the comments being made. ... moreYou do realize that wireless charging does not mean no fast charging, right? it is possible to have both, and not all wireless charging is as slow as say on iphone (7.5W?), you can charge in up to 18W wirelessly, last time I checked.

I have wireless charging pads at my office and at home. It's very convenient to have and to use. Phone still supports QuickCharge 4.0+ as well.

It really is not an expensive component, so leaving it out of the oneplus 7 (pro) was a strange decision.

    I really don’t understand some of the comments being made. They read like a list of thing I wish my phone had that I’ll never really use.

    I remember wireless charging from my Nokia Lumia days. It has a cool factor but fast charging is much more practical. The convenience factor of wireless charging is laughably small. Being able to plug in a quick charger after a flight, between meetings or when I bet back to my office after a day of bouncing between worksites is much more useful. Like removing the headphone jack wireless charging is mostly just a way to sell overpriced accessories while saying you have the latest and greatest.

    Would I like to have the option of an SD card? Yes, definitely. Not at the expense of the second sim though like the Samsungs. Having seen the performance hit S9’s took from SD cards and living without one for years has shown me this really isn’t a problem. Without an SD card I have offline maps for a dozen countries, tens of gb of mucic, tens of gb more of videos and more than enough room for all the pictures of my kid he can stand for me to take. It would be nice to have but no practical downside.

    The 3.5mm jack is another “would be nice to have” but I honestly don’t use the one I have unless I’m on a very long flight while the wireless buds are recharging.
    The alert slider is something I find surprising useful but not something you find on my Android phones.

    One plus cameras have always been good but admittedly not great. Better than other lower priced phones but not top tier. Historically that’s been offset by their lower price. While they still have a price advantage it’s been narrowing significantly. For the way I use a phone’s camera Oneplus have performed well. Since I can’t remember which year I last used the front camera on my phone I’ll gladly take the pop up camera over the senseless notch designs.


    When you buy a OnePlus what you end up with is a good phone that is faster and more fluid than the S10’s, offers a more well thought out user experience than the pixel 3’s (and galaxies) and leaves a few hundred dollars in your pocket while it does it.

            good review, truth one plus has a useless camera when compared to the competition. No flagship killer.

                  No video recording with wide angle = no bueno

                  Even my LG G6 can do that, and switch on the fly, that is a huge dropped ball OnePlus, and a dealbreaker for me.

                      You enjoyed 6T rubbish camera? it's probably the worse algorithm quality in history. Full of noise and grainy. Pocophone F1 camera is better than that crap!

                      Take a look at blue sky in the photos you posted! they are super grainy! how can you say that is a good camera?

                        Overall an expensive garbage phone. Too big and small battery! space taken by rubbish selfie camera which takes alot of useful space. And the camera, as expected it sucks!

                        You must be a braindead fanboy to buy this...i just bought a Samsung Galaxy S10+ for $800 on sale.

                          Does anyone know who the screen is by, Samsung?
