7 Reasons to Wait for the OnePlus 7T & 4 Reasons Not to

Devices like the OnePlus 7 Pro and Galaxy S10 are great smartphones, but some of you might be better off waiting for the OnePlus 7T or OnePlus 7T Pro. Even better versions of the already great OnePlus 7 Pro that are coming next week.

And now that the Galaxy Note 10 and iPhone 11 are here, those in the market for a new phone have several options, including Google’s upcoming Pixel 4. That said, the OnePlus 7 Pro really impressed a lot of people earlier this year, and we’re expecting even more from its replacement, the T upgrade.

While we’ve received several leaks of these phones, the company CEO himself recently shared the image you see above. Essentially confirming the new phone ahead of its release. Keep in mind that’s the regular OnePlus 7T and not the 7T Pro. We’re hearing the 7T Pro will stick to the same design as earlier this year.

The company uses the “T” variant to compete with the iPhone, Galaxy Note, and Google Pixel as the year comes to a close. Not to mention keep its devices up to date with the latest technology. And this year it’ll get announced in September and released in October, instead of November like previous years.

That’s where things get tough for the OnePlus 7T too though because it’s already ahead of the competition in several areas, so how will they improve what’s an already great phone? Well, that’s where we come in. This post will go over a few early rumors, what we’re expecting, then talk about what we want to see next with the OnePlus 7T and the OnePlus 7T Pro.

Wait For An Even Better Screen

1 / 11

Honestly, we're not really sure what OnePlus has planned for the OnePlus 7T and 7T Pro. The companies current phone is already better than most phones available now, OR the ones coming soon. It doesn't have a notch, there's a pop-up camera, and it has a huge beautiful 90 Hz display that's arguably better than everything else it competes with.

Neither Samsung or Apple offer 90 Hz displays, at least not yet.

Personally, I think the way OnePlus will make the 7T better is by giving it a 90 Hz display too, like the Pro model. At first we thought that meant the 7T Pro could go up to 120 Hz, but that's doubtful.

The OnePlus 7 Pro is a big and heavy phone. Personally, if they lowered it back down to 6.4 or even 6.5-inches, shrunk the already small bezels, and improved the screen, it'd make it even more difficult for Samsung to beat. Even with the Galaxy S11 in early 2020.

Either way, the screen will somehow be better. It always is with the "T" release later in the year. Maybe part of that is an under-display front-facing camera so they can ditch the popup, or maybe that's just a better in-display fingerprint sensor. We'll have to wait and see.
