OnePlus 7T Pro First Impressions: Class And Power Written All Over It

OnePlus 7T Pro

OnePlus 7T Pro was just launched amid much fanfare in London just sometime ago. The device is a successor to the OnePlus 7 Pro that helped OnePlus move into serious flagship zone. This device packs a lot of class and power. Here are my first impressions of this new offering from OnePlus

Smooth, responsive, and vivid, the OnePlus 7T Pro’s 6.67” Fluid  AMOLED features a 90 Hz refresh rate, QHD+ resolution, and HDR10+ technology.  A layer of gently-curved glass extends from edge to edge for an incredibly immersive viewing experience and a remarkably  premium look and feel.

The cutting-edge 90 Hz refresh rate introduced on the OnePlus 7 Pro makes its return on the OnePlus 7T Pro, with an edge-to-edge display for seamless viewing.  Whether you’re browsing the web or scrolling through photos, experience it all in smooth, responsive, borderless 90 Hz. The OnePlus 7T Pro’s spacious display isn’t just unbelievably smooth—it’s also unbelievably clear, boasting an impressive 3120×1440 resolution for 516 pixels per inch. Videos are crisp, images are sharp, and text is smooth, bold, and easy to read.

Reading Mode on the OnePlus 7T Pro now supports full-color content. Enable on any screen to optimize saturation, gamut, and contrast ratio for improved clarity, readability, and comfort. This is a very nice thing to have if you are a power user and want to safeguard your eyes and still be productive.

The OnePlus 7T Pro has a triple camera set up. Three independent cameras work in concert for exceptional versatility, stunning clarity, and true-to-life color reproduction.

Main Lens: Featuring the Sony 48 MP IMX586 sensor, the OnePlus 7T Pro’s main lens is ideal for everyday photography. It features a 7P lens structure, f/1.6 aperture, and optical image stabilization (OIS) for detailed photos and videos.

Ultra Wide Angle Lens: When you need to fit more in frame, switch over to the 16 MP ultra wide angle lens with an impressive 117° field of view, perfect for expansive landscapes, group photos, and cramped spaces.

Telephoto Lens: For long-range photography, the dedicated 8 MP telephoto lens produces 3x optical zoom at an aperture of f/2.4.  It also boasts OIS for clear shots at a distance.

The OnePlus 7T Pro’s intelligent photography optimizations automatically streamline settings and post-processing algorithms for more consistently impressive photos. UltraShot particularly focuses on optimizing images in difficult lighting, allowing users to capture better sunrises, sunsets, and professional backlit portraits.

Utilizing both the telephoto lens and main lens in Portrait Mode, users can choose between two distinct focal lengths—each producing its own unique aesthetic. Dramatic portraits and professional headshots are bolder and more expressive than ever before.

New on the OnePlus 7T Pro, an all-new Macro Mode lets you shoot from as little as 2.5 centimeters away in full quality, capturing all details—ideal for small objects and intricate textures. Nightscape Mode combines information from multiple frames (with varying exposures) to produce a wider dynamic range. The result? Bright, clear, and dramatic photos—even in low-light environments. Available on both the main lens and the ultra wide angle lens.

Combining OIS and EIS technologies, the OnePlus 7T Pro’s new hybrid image stabilization (HIS) compensates for unwanted bumps, shakes, and jolts for remarkably smooth videos.

Tucked away when not in use, the 16 MP front camera instantly springs into action when needed. This innovative solution allows for an immersive edge-to-edge display without sacrificing a premium front-facing camera.

You get a full day’s power in just half an hour. Warp Charge 30T isn’t just faster. It’s smarter, too.

Pure, fast, and polished, OxygenOS enhances stock Android with powerful features and sophisticated design. It’s about smooth  performance, elegant visuals, and useful features. Like always, it is there and yet it is not in your face. The beauty of Oxygen OS is the fact that there are thoughtful customizations but they appear only when you need them. Android 10 out of the box adds more to the utility of Oxygen OS. It is blazing fast and butter smooth. A key factor in the OnePlus experience.

No detail is too small to be perfected. OxygenOS 10.0 delivers an incredibly fluid experience with over 370 powerful optimizations that improve overall performance, animations, visuals, gestures, and unlocking speed.

The OxygenOS gallery app packs new and exciting features for improved convenience and security. Safely store private photos in hidden albums, while the Smart Album feature automatically generates memorable video collages. You’ll also now be able to sort and search with ease, thanks to scene and facial recognition features. All this happens in-device.

Designed to encourage healthy screen-time balance, Zen Mode allows OnePlus 7T Pro users to temporarily disable certain notifications and apps. Now, Zen Mode features additional personalization options and flexibility, with the ability to adjust the time duration from 20 to 60 minutes. Very good if you are conscious about the quality of your life.

As far as first impressions go, the OnePlus 7T Pro is a device that has class and power written all over it. More in the full review coming soon. Watch this space.
