OnePlus 7: All we know so far
--The biggest change OnePlus will bring with its next-generation flagship smartphone is the inclusion of a fullscreen display with no notch on the top. OnePlus 7 is expected to sport a 6.5-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display with curved corners. It is even speculated that OnePlus 7 could get curve edges similar to Samsung's flagship phones.
-Similar to the OnePlus 6T, the OnePlus 7 will come with an optical in-display fingerprint sensor. However, OnePlus could also offer an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor from Qualcomm recently seen on the Samsung Galaxy S10.
--To achieve the fullscreen display, the OnePlus 7 will rely on a motorised pop-up selfie camera. Oppo and Vivo have introduced the pop-up selfie camera on their mainstream models and it was only a matter of time before OnePlus would follow suit.
--Another feature OnePlus 7 will sport is a new triple camera setup. Similar to Vivo's current flagship offering, OnePlus 7 is speculated to sport a 48-megapixel primary camera along with a 20-megapixel secondary camera meant for low light photography. The third camera will be a 5-megapixel depth sensor meant for bokeh effects.
--OnePlus 7 will also get the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 chipset, which is the same one used on the Xiaomi Mi 9 and Samsung Galaxy S10. However, OnePlus could offer it with the Snapdragon X50 5G modem for 5G-equipped markets whereas India could get the 4G LTE variant. The base variant is expected to come with 6GB RAM and at least 128GB storage. OnePlus could also offer a variant with 10GB RAM and 256GB storage.
--The OnePlus 7 could also sport a faster 30W Warp Charging. The OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition already has the 30W Warp charging and OnePlus could offer it as standard on the OnePlus 7. No news of wireless charging has made it to the rumour belt so far.
--In keeping with the trends, OnePlus could also offer a bigger 4000mAh battery that could help OnePlus extend the battery life over the OnePlus 6T.
--OnePlus recently offered its community members to design the next feature of Oxygen OS. OnePlus has elected Its. Leandrooas the winner who suggests a cleaner UI overhaul for Oxygen OS. Therefore, Oxygen OS is expected to adorn Samsung's OneUI-inspired interface with more customisation options.
