![]() Storage starts at a generous 128GB too, but you can splurge for the beefier 256GB if you prefer. OnePlus has always ensured that its phones have felt as snappy as possible, and that’s most certainly the case here. The result is a phone that in my testing, came out near the very top of our current benchmarking tests, vying for the lead against the likes of the Black Shark 2, iPhone XS and, unsurprisingly, the OnePlus 7 Pro.Īs you’d expect from a phone running this chipset, it’s very fast. The OnePlus 7 packs the same Snapdragon 855 processor, paired to either 6GB or 8GB of RAM. ![]() Numbered OnePlus phones have always been powered by the latest silicon from Qualcomm, and while the continuation of this trend was never in doubt for the top-end Pro, there was a chance that we could have seen the cheaper 7 ship with a mid-range CPU instead. ![]() The OnePlus 7 packs the latest processor, lots of memory and a big batteryĭespite its slightly lesser standing compared to its bigger brother, make no mistake, the OnePlus 7 is equipped just as well as any other top-tier flagship. The depth effect – or bokeh – looks pleasingly natural, I just wish I had to option to adjust how strong the effect was, either at the point of capture or after the fact, a common ability among many competitors. There’s definite smoothing when flipping the mode on, even without virtual beauty mode activated, while dynamic range appears a touch wider, with more colour variation and higher saturation, especially across the face. It’s not going to give Google’s Night Sight cause for concern but in its own right, it’s a great boon when taking snaps under tricky lighting conditions. Things, for the most part, get even better when you activate the phone’s Nightscape mode. There’s still noise and grain in the darkest of areas but it’s far less invasive, while fine detail retention is surprisingly good. Shots pack in plenty of detail, impressive dynamic range and pleasingly rich colour.Īs for low light shooting, the OnePlus 7’s capture capabilities have unquestionably been improved (presumably via software tweaks) since the OnePlus 7 Pro’s initial launch, where the 48-megapixel camera left a lot to be desired. Its a definite improvement over the 6 and 6T, which themselves already demonstrated more competent image handling from OnePlus’ photography team. Overall, picture quality holds promise, and provided you’re OK with the lack of versatility compared to the Pro model, it makes for a decent all-round cameraphone. ![]() Of course, a keen eye will spot that the back of the 7 lacks at least one member of the 7 Pro’s camera setup, but it takes things further, with only a 5-megapixel depth sensor accompanying that main 48-meg snapper – in place of the Pro’s ultra-wide and telephoto sensors. Basically, it treats four standard pixels as one large pixel, allowing more light in for use in the resultant 12-megapixel shots that it captures. It’s become a wildly popular component on many current mid-to-high-end phones, meaning its capabilities hinge on OnePlus’ ability to deliver competent software to complement the hardware at play.ĭespite the megapixel count, the OnePlus 7 takes 12-megapixel stills by default through a process called ‘pixel binning’. That main camera on the back of the 7 is fronted by a 48-megapixel Sony IMX586 sensor. The OnePlus 7’s camera is still a big upgrade On the one hand, this means it lacks features that help it stand out quite as much, on the other, it starts at £150 less than the beefier OnePlus 7 Pro. While the 7 still aims to offer a flagship experience at a fiercely competitive price, unlike previous OnePlus phones, it doesn’t try quite as hard as the ‘Pro’ model. Read our reviews of the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro The OnePlus 7 bridges the gap between last year’s OnePlus 6T and this year’s 7 Pro, utilising different bits from the two devices to create a handset that takes on the likes of this year’s Xiaomi Mi 9 and Asus ZenFone 6. The standard OnePlus 7 is also here, looking to entice those with tighter purse strings to the latest generation of the company’s phones. The OnePlus 7 Pro might be the company’s headline-grabbing handset this year but it wasn’t alone at launch.
