Oneplus 7 & 7 Pro

Anyone got their eyes on one of these?

I've been delighted with my oneplus 3t (which oneplus are updating to pie!) and wanna stay on brand.

I have been looking at the oneplus 6t but waiting to see the 'official' info and prices on the new one on Tuesday.

I will post links once the info is out.

I follow OnePlus on Instagram and have been keeping an eye on their 7 teasers. It sounds like an interesting device, but I'm in no hurry to part ways with my 3T yet. I've got a 5 as well, but the 3T is my daily driver.

OnePlus on Instagram: “Just a better phone. #OnePlus7Pro launching May 14.”

Out of interest marky, why is the older device the daily driver?

Live at 4pm today - 7 Pro is an almost certain purchase for me. My OP5 has been excellent but time for an upgrade after 2 years of solid use.

Looks fantastic, but not sure how I feel about a pop up selfie camera

hardly use selfie camera so no big issue for me.

£699 for the 8gb/256gb version is a buy for me

Whilst the 5 is a bit more powerful and I like using it, even with the jelly scrolling, the 3T is no slouch and still has the factory fitted screen protector for added peace of mind, whilst the curved edges of the 5 has made it difficult getting a screen protector, but the main reason is the camera. I'm not keen on the 5's output with the OnePlus camera app and the 3T can use the ported Google Camera without root or installing anything extra to make it work, unlike the 5. I also like that I can set the Google Camera to capture at a lower res, which you can't do with the OnePlus camera app. I really don't need to be wasting device and backup storage on full res photos for my needs.

I got the 5 to replace the 3T, but I kept going back to the 3T's camera, particularly for trips away, and found myself sticking to the 3T. I should probably sell the 5 to be honest, before its value drops too much.

I see on YouTube the demo of how the selfie camera will retract if the sensors detect the handset is falling. Good for OP to think of it. Wonder how long for someone in the real world to still break the selfie camera

Is the 8gb version £699?

Most sites saying it is but seen £749 somewhere

I am on sim only with sky so ideally wanting to find a way of financing it over a few years interest free.

I wonder if you can take a device plan with 02 etc without a phone tarriff?

Worse case scenario it's paypal over 4 skint months

Answering my own question here lol

It is indeed £699

Very reasonable with all the extra spec/features IMO considering it's only £170 more than the 6t
