News

OnePlus has announced its new 7-series smartphones, including the OnePlus 7 Pro, which costs £ 649 and boasts a triple camera setup and a 3x zoom lens.

The three rear cameras on the OnePlus 7 Pro include a new 48-megapixel sensor with OIS, an 8-megapixel 78mm telephoto lens at f/2.4 and 1μm pixel size, which is also stabilised by OIS and a 16-megapixel 117° ultra-wide angle lens at f/2.2.

The 16-megapixel f/2.0 front selfie camera is covered in sapphire glass and opens via a mechanism that OnePlus says has been tested at more than 300,000 actuations.

As well as 48-megapixel JPEGs and 12-megapixel raw files, the OnePlus 7 Pro can show 4K video at 60 and 30fps. A Super Slow Motion mode can also record 240fps at 1080p or 480fps at 720p.

A newly developed AF system uses PDAF, CAF and Laser Focusing methods, while OnePlus’s Nightscape mode has also been revamped.

The OnePlus 7 Pro contains a Qualcomm® Snapdragon 855 chip, up to 12 GB of RAM, and the new OnePlus UltraShot engine.

The OnePlus 7 Pro also comes with UFS 3.0 storage for faster image saving from the camera. At the same time, RAM Boost learns from your usage habits and allocates available RAM to memory-intensive applications.

RAM Boost also promises to let you keep more applications open in the background without any compromises on overall performance.

Warp Charge 30 charges the OnePlus 7 Pro’s 4,000mAh battery from 0 to 50% in just 20 minutes.

In the UK, the OnePlus 7 Pro will be available at OnePlus.com, John Lewis and Partners and Three UK.

OnePlus 7 and 7 Pro 5G

OnePlus also announced the 7 and 7 5G. The OnePlus 7 offers a dual camera setup with a 48-megapixel, f/1.7 camera at its heart, which incorporates OIS and EIS. The second camera has a 5-megapixel sensor.

Based on the OnePlus 7 Pro, the OnePlus 7 Pro 5G represented a big design challenge, requiring OnePlus to create new designs for 5G antennae, and even redesign the NFC antenna.
