OnePlus 7, OnePlus 7 Pro specificationsWith such prolific tipsters and sources of leaks, it’s not surprising that almost everything about the OnePlus 7 phones is already reported. However, the company itself has been revealing tidbits of information about the upcoming phones, with a key focus on the OnePlus 7 Pro. The company’s CEO, Pete Lau, revealed that the OnePlus 7 Pro would come equipped with a “super-smooth” display and a report leaked the information that the handset could be equipped with a Super AMOLED display with a 90Hz screen refresh rate. The two phones are expected to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 SoC.
Recently, the entire spec sheet of the OnePlus 7 Pro leaked online, which hinted at a 6.67-inch display panel. The phone’s display was recently confirmed by OnePlus to be HDR10+ compliant and support Netflix HDR streaming. The upcoming handset will also feature a new vibration motor that is touted to be 200 percent more powerful than the one used previously and it is also confirmed to feature a triple rear camera setup.
Multiple previous reports suggest that the OnePlus 7 Pro might be equipped with a 48MP Sony IMX586 sensor with f/1.6 aperture. Then, there could be a 16MP secondary wide-angle sensor with an f/2.2 aperture and a tertiary 8MP sensor with f/2.4 aperture, 3x optical zoom and 78mm focal length. The handset might feature stereo speakers and might be backed by a 4000mAh battery that supports Warp Charge 30 (5V/6A). The OnePlus 7 Pro might also feature a pop-up module on the top edge, which is rumoured to feature a 16MP Sony IMX471 sensor.
Coming to the OnePlus 7, leaked renders of the smartphone hint at a design akin to the OnePlus 6T. The phone might feature a waterdrop notch on a 6.2-inch AMOLED display with a 60Hz refresh rate. The smartphone is speculated to feature dual rear cameras with a 48MP main sensor. The OnePlus 7 could be equipped with a smaller 3,700mAh battery but both the phones are expected to sport an in-display fingerprint sensor.
