Oneplus 7 Pro Vs Oneplus 7t

Given the like naming conventions of theOnePlus 7T,OnePlus 7T Pro andOnePlus 7T Pro McLaren Edition, it's easy to be dislocated well-nigh OnePlus' line of 7T phones. Released in the latter one-half of concluding twelvemonth, the OnePlus 7T was the phone-maker'southward flagship phone (until this past April when the Oneplus viii and Oneplus 8 Pro were revealed). OnePlus then followed it up with a handful of other variants.

The reality is that these variantsare like, but there are some important differences to note in their specs, design, availability and, of course, price. I've broken down the primary points below and you'll also detect a total spec comparison tabular array at the end.

OnePlus 7T serial design differences

The 7T and 7T Pro are unmistakably cut from the OnePlus cloth with their soft bluish colours and frosted glass backs. The major difference you'll run into is the cameras on the dorsum -- the 7T's cameras are encased in a circular unit of measurement while the 7T Pro'southward cameras are arranged in a vertical strip. All 3 phones accept fingerprint scanners built into their displays.

The 7T Pro McLaren's pattern veers off even further. It's physically identical to the standard 7T Pro in terms of camera layout, but the blueish colour has been replaced with a glossy black finish, with a subtle Damascus Steel effect that shimmers but under the surface. There are McLaren Papaya Orangish furnishings dotted all over, including a metal strip around the cameras, an orange function slider on the side and an orange stripe around the bottom half of the phone.

Screen sizes?

The 7T has a 6.55-inch brandish with a 2,400x1,080-pixel resolution. Both Pro models accept larger half-dozen.67-inch displays with 3,120x1,440-pixel resolutions. That gives the Pros a pixel density of 516ppi, which is sharper than the 7T'due south 402ppi. You may not really notice the marginal 0.12-inch size increase in twenty-four hour period-to-twenty-four hours utilize, but the extra resolution bump should help make those loftier-res photos and videos popular a fleck more.

Keep in heed that the 7T has a teardrop-shaped notch that cuts into the top of the display to house the front-facing camera. The Pro models don't have this as their selfie cameras mechanically slide out from the elevation border of the phone when needed. As a result, their displays stretch from edge to edge and remain entirely unbroken by notches.

What about processor power?

All three phones pack Qualcomm's latest octa-core Snapdragon 855 Plus processor, clocked at 2.9GHz. The 7T and 7T Pro both pair that with 8GB of RAM, while the McLaren version comes with a meaty 12GB. Information technology's odd then that on criterion tests, information technology's the standard 7T that delivered the best scores.

On the Geekbench five processor test, the 7T scored two,911 (multi-core), beating out the 7T Pro McLaren'south 2,854 and the standard 7T Pro's 2,883. Similarly, on the 3DMark Sling Shot Unlimited graphics examination, the 7T achieved an overall score of 8,782, chirapsia the 7T Pro's viii,720 and the McLaren'due south 8,725. Admittedly, these differences are razor thin and barely qualify every bit differences at all. It is a little surprising though that the McLaren edition, with its RAM boost, didn't produce ameliorate scores than its siblings.

These phones are more than capable of treatment any of your everyday tasks, including video streaming and photo editing. Gaming was a breeze too, fifty-fifty with the graphically demanding game Cobblestone 9: Legends, which played smoothly and had no discernible drib in frame rates.

They all run Android 10 software, but the McLaren's software has had some visual tweaks. It'due south more often than not just a darker colour scheme, with lots of orangish thrown around to friction match the look of the outside of the telephone.

Is the storage the same?

This is where you get more for that "Pro" proper noun. The standard OnePlus 7T comes with 128GB of storage, while both Pro models double that with 256GB. That's worth keeping in mind, given that none of the phones have expandable storage. If you shoot a lot of video and store a lot of files locally, opting for a higher-capacity model is a smart investment.

Are the cameras the same?

They all have a triple-camera setup on the back, consisting of a 48-megapixel chief camera, a 16-megapixel super broad angle camera and a telephoto camera. The 7T, however, has a 12-megapixel telephoto camera, while both Pros take 8-megapixel telephoto cameras. It may seem odd that the telephoto resolution on the Pro models is lower, but they exercise offer 3x zoom, instead of merely 2x.

In my testing, images from all three phones are abrupt, with decent exposure and accurate colours. They all have a dedicated macro mode too, which lets you focus on objects close to the lens. It'southward dandy if you desire to take upwards-close shots of, say, insects and flowers, when you lot're out and nearly. The overall camera quality is skillful, but it'south not quite up there with tiptop models similar the Pixel 4, iPhone xi Pro or Galaxy Note xx Ultra. If photography is of the utmost importance to you, it's worth considering spending more than greenbacks. (The Pixel 4A camera is an excellent option equally well, for photography fans on a budget.)

Do they employ the same batteries?

The OnePlus 7T has a 3,800-mAh bombardment, which survived an impressive 16 hours on our battery drain test. The Pro models have slightly larger 4,085-mAh batteries, which isn't a huge pace upwardly. I don't wait much departure in battery life, especially when you demand to take into business relationship the slightly larger displays that suck upward more bombardment.

Anecdotally, I was able to get a solar day of mixed-use from the phones before they needed a pinnacle up. Like all smartphones, I'd want to give them a full recharge overnight. All phones support OnePlus' ultra fast charging, which can take the phone from 0% to over 60% charged in 30 minutes. This is slap-up if you lot forgot to give your phone a boost before heading on a night out.

Do they have 5G?

Currently, these three phones practise not have a 5G version. If you lot want to employ a OnePlus phone on a fast 5G network, you'll need to go for the OnePlus 7 Pro 5G -- which is available in the Great britain and the The states carrier Sprint. The OnePlus viii, 8 Pro and new OnePlus Nord besides characteristic 5G.

Price and availability

Unsurprisingly, given its fancy branding and extra RAM, the OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren edition is the about expensive of the three phones, coming in at £799. Information technology'southward only available in the UK and Europe for now, but for reference that price converts to about $one,010 or AU$ane,515.

The regular 7T Pro currently has a Great britain price of £569, and the standard OnePlus 7T will set yous back £469.

OnePlus 7 vs. Oneplus 7 Pro vs. Oneplus 7 Pro 5G.

The 7T serial isn't the but phone range the company launched last twelvemonth. Back in May, 2019, it launched the OnePlus seven, 7 Pro and 7 Pro 5G.

The OnePlus 7 has a smaller vi.44-inch display, Qualcomm'southward Snapdragon 855 (but not the faster Plus version), and either 6 or 8GB of RAM, depending on where you lot purchase it. It also has a screen notch to firm the front-facing camera and a dual camera on the back with a standard and telephoto lens.

The OnePlus seven Pro meanwhile has a half-dozen.67-inch display, the aforementioned Snapdragon 855 scrap, a triple rear-camera setup on the back (normal, telephoto and superwide) and it has the pop-up selfie photographic camera found on the 7T Pros.

Finally, we have the OnePlus 7 Pro 5G, which, every bit mentioned before is simply a 5G-enabled version of the vii Pro.
