![]() ![]() (Image credit: Future) OnePlus 7 review: Verdict That said, the results from the OnePlus 7 fall well short of the similarly priced Google Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL, which offers crisper details, better bokeh-blur, and deeper shadows for more interesting, contrast-y shots. OnePlus has had a bit of a shaky reputation on this front for a while, but this is definitely a step-up from the shots produced by the OnePlus 5 launched two years ago by the company. However, that's an issue that still plagues the likes of the £1,000+ flagship smartphones with this feature, so it's not something that shelling out more cash for your next phone will solve.Įlsewhere, still images and videos are generally pretty good. The Portrait Mode shots are pretty decent and will help things pop on your social media account, but scrutinising the images up-close too much will reveal a few weird patches where the bokeh failed to take. This main shooter is coupled with a 5MP secondary telephoto camera, which is used to shoot Portrait Mode photos with artificial bokeh blur behind the subject, and offers 2x optical zoom. OnePlus 7 has a dual camera set-up consisting of a 48MP 1⁄2 inch super-sized sensor with an aperture of f/1.7 and built-in Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS) and Electronic Image Stabilisation (EIS) to keep things steady when you're nervous, moving, or shooting in tough low-light conditions. (Image credit: Future) OnePlus 7 review: Camera The OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition enjoyed these 30W Warp Charging speeds, so it’s omission is a little baffling. Don’t get us wrong, it’s still mightily fast, refilling the battery to 50% in a half hour… but that’s slower than the 20 minute top-up available on the 7 Pro. One disappointment with the OnePlus 7 is that it still uses the Fast Charging solution seen in the OnePlus 6T to replenish its 3,700mAh cell. There’s also a gaming mode that pushes the phone to its limit to ensure you get the best possible performance – and stops notifications interrupting your play-through. The latest update includes ability to record your screen, as well as edit and share the videos direct from the Gallery app. Given how good Android OS looks these days, that's a massive compliment to the OnePlus team for having some restraint and not tweaking anything for the sake of it. Unlike the heavily skinned crimes-against-software-design you’ll find running on similar priced handsets from the likes of Honor, Huawei, and LG, OxygenOS is almost indistinguishable from the stock version of Android you’ll find on the Google Pixel series. Like, blink-and-you’ll-miss-it fast.īut it’s not just what’s under the bonnet that brings the speed, the OxygenOS operating system on the OnePlus 7 offers an incredibly streamlined and zippy experience. OnePlus 7 has an upgraded in-screen fingerprint sensor which is 36% larger and feels faster and much more accurate than its predecessor, which was a little finicky.įor our money, we've always preferred front-facing fingerprint scanners – not least because it means you can unlock the phone and authenticate secure apps when the handset is resting on your desk without picking it up. So, this new and improved in-display sensor ticks all the boxes.īut if it’s not quite fast enough for you, OnePlus 7 boasts the Shenzhen-based company’s hugely impressive Face Unlock technology, which isn’t as secure as your fingerprint, but is impossibly fast. And the dewdrop notch for the selfie camera is much, much more elegant than the pop-up camera found on the costlier OnePlus 7 Pro, which noisily emerges from the phone like a miniature periscope each time you take a selfie. The display isn’t the brightest, but it is colourful and feels incredibly responsive. Hell, Apple only bothers every 24 months or so. Don't forget, a little over six months passed between the 6T and 7 – no other smartphone manufacturer overhauls the industrial design of its flagship phone in that time. In fact, it's only when compared side-by-side with the OnePlus 7 Pro that the OnePlus 7's shell starts to look dated at all. ![]() That's not much of a criticism, since the OnePlus 6T looked stunning at launch just a few months ago.
