Design: round versus classic

Compared to the OnePlus 7 the design has changed a bit. For example, the OnePlus 7T has a round camera module in which the lenses sit side by side.

Another new feature is that the AMOLED display of the OnePlus 7T offers a refresh rate of 90 Hz. You won't notice the difference right away, but in the long run you get used to the refresh rate and displays with less feel strange.

On the Pro model, OnePlus holds on to the edge display, so the sides are rounded. The OnePlus 7T, on the other hand, has a flat display. The display is protected by Gorilla Glass.

Camera: more Pro for the 7T

While OnePlus leaves the 7T Pro camera unchanged from the OnePlus 7 Pro, the manufacturer is now giving the 7T the same camera. Although the back is arranged in a round element. Technically, however, the two models do not differ much in this area. However, the Pro variant has a laser focus. There is also a difference in the zoom. Both smartphones use the same 13-megapixel sensor. For the enlargement, however, OnePlus trims the photos. This results in a resolution of 12 megapixels for the OnePlus 7T and 8 megapixels for the OnePlus 7T Pro.

The software is intended to provide real improvements to the camera. The camera shoots portraits with either the telephoto lens or the main camera. The night mode can now also be used in ultrawide-angle mode. The new super macro mode allows objects to be sharply photographed at a distance of 2.5 cm. The software should also improve backlight photography.

With super stabilization, OnePlus is also entering the field of action cameras. Full-HD video recordings should become even more stable and free of camera shake.

As these are software optimizations, older OnePlus models will also receive these features with the update to Oxygen OS 10, including OnePlus 7 Pro.
