I prefer this slow narration and video quality rather than the usual gsm style video

The camera ring is better than the 3 burner stove on the iPhone.

I picked up my Oneplus 7T earlier today and I absolutely love it. It's a nice upgrade for me considering I've been using the 3T for just over 3 years and that still works really well considering it's age. I'm proud to be a loyal Oneplus customer in the UK 👍

An iPhone 6s user here who upgraded (?) to OnePlus 7T. I've been an apple fanboy but didn't go for the iPhone 11 because the price difference is pretty high and I thought of giving a high end Android phone a chance. FYI, I also use a MacBook air 2016. Here's my review after using OnePlus 7T and android after 3 weeks. Note - It's a review of the OS and the phone together.
Pros:
1. The OS is pretty versatile and you can install loads of apps onto your phone
2. You can use Bluetooth! It's a boon
3. The OS can multitask. You can open maps in a small window while watching Netflix or reply to WhatsApp texts while watching your favourite movie
4. You can search an app or a setting, which is great
5. Google assistant is smarter
6. Coming to the phone, the phone feels good in hand and watching videos or movies is a treat
7. Photos in daytime are of good quality
8. The phone speakers are great, loud and clear
9. I love the frosted silver color
Cons:
1. Google assistant is too sensitive and opens on its own if a word remotely similar is uttered
2. The typing experience is not remotely close to ios, ios keyboard does a far better job in autocorrecting texts. I find it immensely difficult to type 5-6 correct words at a stretch
3. The adaptive screen brightness works weirdly and at times, the screen brightness reduces to minimum even if the room is lit and then you've to manually adjust the brightness
4. There's a setting to goddamn everything and you need to setup every app to make it work your way
5. The dark mode doesn't work seamlessly across apps and to be honest, few apps look pretty ugly
6. Oneplus has advertised the night mode in 7T pretty much but let me tell you, it does a very average job. First, you have to hold your phone as steady as you can but even after that, the photo that it captures has lot of grains and is blurry if you zoom in, which looks very artificial
7. My iphone 6s used to take sharp photos in motion including post evening light, but the OnePlus camera photos in motion are blurry even during daylight. Photos in motion with low light conditions are very very average
8. There seems to be loss in photo quality if you take the photo in wide angle mode. So I try to stick to 1x while taking photos
9. The 90 hz screen in my opinion is overhyped. It does feel great, the icons are sharper and the movie watchinf experience is great, but trust me, you wont be able to make out the difference of the iPhone LCD screen where the Apple hardware does a great job in the hardware and has a good pixel density
10. Battery drain is pretty fast! I thought OnePlus phones are battery monsters and I was wrong. It sure takes you through the day, but that's it. The only boon is the warp charger which lessens the pain
11. I really miss the integration with my MacBook air to a great extent and life was so much easier with an iphone. I could receive calls and texts on my MacBook air and could send documents back and forth through airdrop in a jiffy

Watched loads of videos on the OnePlus 7t as thinking of getting one and can I just say that this is the best I have seen. Very informative and I love the way you look at things from both sides. Not one sided at all which I love 👍 Congrats on earning a new sub!

The OnePlus 7T is a better value than the 7 Pro, hands down.

Whatever floats your boat bro

[Mad.Maxx.]

If I buy a phone, this year, it'll be the OP 7T.

The only thing I’m not into OnePlus is their camera software, they really need to step it up.. Overall they’re still a good buy!

[ramsogood]

Fantastic review... Locations in the photos are beautiful... Is it Miami??

[karans]

I hated the round camera module at first but iam slowly warming up to it now. Might pick one up.

[Kratos]

Is the camera better than the flat Mate 20 one's?

[leewu]

With BlackFriday coming in my country, S10+ and OP7T will be the same price. Which one would you recommend, if my main interests are gaming and nightmode pictures?

[hritwikranjan]

Guys, which one should I go for ?? OnePlus 7T or RoG phone 2 ?? I'm getting them at the same price. I want the focus to be on software support, battery life and overall user experience

[tatwo_]

Macro mode sounds like a awesome addition. Great review.

The round camera lens does not bother me esthetically.
However there are two setbacks.
1. Even if you use a protective back cover, you still have to install a lens protection glas.
I have tried several and all have a cutout hole for the flash that is too small. Resulting in light bleeding from the flash and disturbs the picture, rendering the use of the flash virtually useless.
I found one with a big enough hole, but that was plastic and scratched already by applying it.
2. Holding the phone it is unavoidable to touch the lens by accident. Makes it smeared easily and needs cleaning everytime before taking pictures.
