Review | OnePlus 7 Pro full review: so fast, you won’t want to go back to another phone
- Its screen refresh rate is a game-changer, it has top-notch resolution and a great Android OS – all adding up to a fast, fluid phone
- There are a few downsides, including camera niggles, a bland-looking case and battery life, but they are minor
OnePlus phones have the reputation of being the fastest mobile devices around. This has mostly been achieved through lean software with copious amounts of memory.
This year’s OnePlus 7 Pro ups the speed to another level. And it’s a game-changer.
There is a standard, non-Pro version of the OnePlus 7 without the special display tech.
This review is of the Pro version.
Design and hardware
Most smartphones on the market have 60Hz displays, meaning they refresh animations 60 times per second. The OnePlus 7 Pro’s screen is 1½ times faster at 90Hz. OnePlus has added extra animation to its software so everyday UI movements, from swiping away an app to bringing down the notification panel to scrolling on a webpage, appear smoother because there are more frames moving and doing so faster.
