INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
range so could easily have replaced the expected late-year T update
chaseWhat is it? The next OnePlus phoneWhen is it out? Likely to be announced on October 10What will it cost? A lot - but less than most
flagshipsOnePlus 7T release date and priceThe main release date rumor so far for the OnePlus 7T points to a September 26 announcement, but
oddly only for India.That will apparently be followed up by an October 10 announcement for the US and Europe, and an October 15 sale date
(though the source doesn't specify whether that's a worldwide on-sale date or just for some regions)
We've since heard those two October dates put forward again.If that October 15 date sounds familiar it's because an earlier unclear tweet
from the same source also pointed to October 15.TheIndianSubcontinent later received confirmation from a source close to the matter that
this date was wrong, but at that time it was assumed that October 15 was being put forward as the announcement date, not the date the phone
would go on sale.These dates would also more or less line up with past releases
The OnePlus 6T was announced in October 2018 then hit stores in November, while the OnePlus 5T and OnePlus 3T were both announced and went
on sale in November of their respective years, so an October or November announcement looks very likely.The OnePlus 7 undercuts most
OnePlus 7T and a OnePlus 7T Pro
AU$990) for the OnePlus 7T Pro, assuming both phones launch
design and screenSince OnePlus CEO Pete Lau shared a picture of the OnePlus 7T rear, we know a lot about the design of the upcoming
device.The key take-away is its rear camera bump, which is a design choice we haven't seen on a previous OnePlus phone
We'd expected that, thanks to a series of leaks that suggested as such.It also looks set to be a little larger than the OnePlus 7, judging
on the shared picture, but we've no idea just how large it'll be.(Image credit: OnePlus)Two separate leaks have now possibly shown the
One set of images was shared on Weibo (a Chinese social network) and shows the alleged OnePlus 7T Pro from both the front and back.However,
includes a curved bezel-free screen, and three rear cameras in the same arrangement
The only possible difference is that the speaker grille above the screen looks as though it might be more prominent, which could suggest an
audio upgrade.The same design can also be seen in the leak below, albeit only the front of the phone this time
That said, IBTimes India claims to have received confirmation from OnePlus that this second set of images actually just shows the OnePlus 7
could just be the design of the case emphasizing it
In any case, it seems these images are likely fake, which also makes us seriously question the images further up in this article, since the
spec upgrades.Having said that, an alternate design has also been leaked
First seen in the photo above back in December 2018, and then more recently leaked in the render and sketches below.As for the screen specs,
a leak suggests that the standard OnePlus 7T will have a 6.55-inch 1080 x 2400 screen, while the OnePlus 7T Pro will have a 6.65-inch 1440 x
3100 one, but both apparently use AMOLED, have a 90Hz refresh rate and support HDR10+.OnePlus 7T specs and cameraOnePlus's CEO has
confirmed that a new OnePlus phone with 5G will be launching by the end of the year - so this will almost certainly be some version of the
OnePlus 7T.We know that the OnePlus 7T will have three rear cameras, thanks to the aforementioned picture shared by Pete Lau, but we don't
know what specs these snappers pack.We've also seen a huge info-dump in the form of leaked specs for both the OnePlus 7T and One Plus 7T Pro
It suggests both handsets will use the new Snapdragon 855 Plus chipset, have 8GB of RAM, an in-screen fingerprint scanner, and a 16MP front
camera.There are of course plenty of differences listed though
The OnePlus 7T Pro supposedly has a 4,085mAh battery, 256GB of storage, and a triple-lens rear camera, with a 48MP f/1.6 main lens, an 8MP
f/2.4 telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom, and a 16MP f/2.2 ultra-wide lens with a 120-degree field of view.The OnePlus 7T meanwhile is said
to have a 3,800mAh battery, and a choice of 128GB or 256GB of storage
It also has two of the same rear cameras, but the 7T Pro's telephoto one is apparently replaced by one with slightly different specs here,
namely a 12MP one with 2x optical zoom.Based on all the leaks so far, it sounds like the OnePlus 7T Pro will only be a very slight
improvement on the OnePlus 7 Pro, but that the OnePlus 7T could be a big upgrade on the OnePlus 7.OnePlus 7T battery and performanceHere's
something that isn't rumor - TheIndianSubcontinent heard it directly from OnePlus CEO Peter Lau himself: the OnePlus 7T will charge 23%
charged up from 0% to 100% in one hour 23 minutes, so we're excited to see how much faster the OnePlus 7T goes.What we want to seeThe
OnePlus 7 and especially the OnePlus 7 Pro were impressive phones, but they could be even better with these upgrades.1

An in-screen cameraThe OnePlus 7 Pro's pop-up camera is cool, but not without problems(Image credit: TheIndianSubcontinent)The standard
OnePlus 7 has a teardrop notch for its front-facing camera, which almost feels dated in 2019
The OnePlus 7 Pro meanwhile has a pop-up camera, which is more modern and allows for an all-screen design, but also makes the camera feel
more vulnerable.Not only that, it also makes facial recognition less appealing, since you have to wait for the camera to pop up, and since
should note that this is unlikely to happen

the OnePlus 7 Pro being more of a real flagship, rather than the usual more affordable alternatives that OnePlus offers.5
A slimmer, lighter, smaller buildThe OnePlus 7 Pro is a substantial handset(Image credit: TheIndianSubcontinent)The OnePlus 7 Pro in
will be limits to what can be done here while still offering a big screen and battery, but we reckon that refinements are possible
A bigger battery with better lifeThe OnePlus 7 has a 3,700mAh battery and the OnePlus 7 Pro has a 4,000mAh one
bigger battery in the OnePlus 7T, and beyond that possibly some software or hardware optimizations to help it last longer
Fast charging from third-party chargersThe OnePlus 7 range charges very fast, but only if you use an official OnePlus charger
from portable chargers/power banks
