![]() ![]() The same 16-MP front-facing camera originally featured in the OnePlus 7 series looks back at you from a notch, rather than a motorized, pop-out mechanism like on the Pro model.īut, of course, these days it's never just a matter of optics. A 12-MP telephoto, capable of 2x zoom, rounds out the repertoire on the back. The OnePlus 7T inherits the OnePlus 7 Pro’s primary, Sony-sourced, 48-MP sensor, as well as its 16-MP, 117° ultrawide shooter. OnePlus 7T camera: Better, but not the best And OnePlus’ 155.1% coverage of the sRGB color space shattered the iPhone 11 Pro’s 117.1%, which at least means you’ll get slightly more saturated colors out of the box with the 7T. When it comes to color accuracy, the 7T, set to its default Vivid color profile, delivered the same Delta-E score of 0.27 as the iPhone 11 Pro that we tested - indicating lifelike hues. You could probably use that extra luminosity outside on the sunniest day, though in most circumstances, you’re not missing much. I can live with the 7T’s peak 474 nits of full-screen brightness, which is admittedly far below the 652 nits of the Liquid Retina LCD-powered iPhone 11, as well as the Galaxy S10’s 611 nits. But it truly feels like it is, thanks to the phone’s 90Hz panel. It’s not like the OnePlus 7T is really any faster to use than most other flagship phones that you can buy today. There’s even a new chromatic Reading Mode that dulls colors for comfort, yet stops short of being complete grayscale. Whether you prefer a more realistic DCI-P3 look or ultra-saturated hues emblematic of older OLED-powered phones, the 7T can be customized to suit your preference. And that’s to say nothing of the 7T’s impressive HDR10+ color reproduction and the breadth of the choices it offers. So too is gaming, for the few Android titles out there that can deliver higher frame rates. Thumbing around Android is simply a livelier experience at 90Hz. But it truly feels like it is, thanks to that 90Hz panel. ![]() Technically, at a physical level, it’s not like the 7T is really any faster to use than most other flagships you can buy today. ![]() It’s hard to overstate the role animation plays in how our eyes and brains process responsiveness. However, it’s easily my favorite I’ve used all year - and that includes the iPhone 11 Pro’s own Super Retina XDR panel - because of that silky-smooth refresh rate. The 6.55-inch, full-HD+ panel inside the OnePlus 7T is not the brightest we’ve come across, nor the sharpest. While I typically dismiss catchy marketing mottos, here’s the thing - this particular boast is absolutely right. I ask any OnePlus representatives reading this review to forgive any inaccuracies on my part, but it goes something like this: “Once you go 90Hz, you can’t go back.” OnePlus has a familiar refrain for the Fluid AMOLED display it introduced in the OnePlus 7 Pro earlier this year. OnePlus 7T display: Everything should be 90Hz That said, you can’t put a price on peace of mind, and that’s exactly what IP ratings offer. One one hand, I kind of understand the rationale - IP testing drives up prices and besides, it’s not like IP-rated phones have water damage covered in their warranties. OnePlus is taking a familiar stance with the 7T’s water resistance in that it technically isn’t IP-certified, even though the company assures buyers it will stand up to an impromptu dunk or splash. The 7T might not be the largest phone in the world, but if you’re coming from an iPhone XS, Galaxy S9, S10 or Pixel 3, it will feel a bit unwieldy. If the company has truly committed to a two-phone strategy, a cheaper device that is also more compact would make a lot of sense, and may broaden the range of appeal. The 7T’s 6.55-inch display is just two-tenths of an inch smaller than the 7 Pro’s. Yet again, I also find myself wishing that OnePlus would make a smaller phone for a change.
