If you’re ready to bite on one of the latest smartphones from OnePlus, but you’re not sure whether the OnePlus 7 or the 7 Pro will serve you better, then we’re here for you with a spec breakdown that will reveal exactly how these phones differ. Find out whether the OnePlus 7 Pro is worth the extra money.
We’re used to getting a new OnePlus phone every six months, but this time around there are two options (three if you count the forthcoming OnePlus 7 Pro 5G). The OnePlus 7 Pro is the new headliner, and it’s the most expensive “flagship killer” yet, but you may prefer to go for the plain, old OnePlus 7, which is a straight upgrade of the OnePlus 6T. We’re here to compare the 7 and 7 Pro and break down all the differences between them.
Before we get started it’s important to note that only the OnePlus 7 Pro will be offered in the United States. The OnePlus 7 is only going to be available in select markets including the U. K.
Both of these phones boast the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor backed by either 6GB or 8GB of RAM. That means lightning-fast performance and plenty of multitasking talent. You can get a version of the OnePlus 7 Pro with 12GB of RAM, but that’s more than you really need. The 7 Pro has a larger, higher-resolution screen, so the OnePlus 7 may have more spare processing power, but we don’t think you’ll see much difference between them.
The OnePlus 7 Pro has a 4,000mAh battery, which sounds big, but we have found it generally lasts about a day and needs to be charged nightly. The OnePlus 7 has a smaller, 3,700mAh battery, but may actually last a bit longer because of the smaller, lower-resolution screen. Both support fast charging, but not wireless charging.
Winner: Tie
With an all-screen front and a pop-up selfie camera, the OnePlus 7 Pro is a minimalist dream.
