The screen also has the in-display fingerprint scanner, support for HDR10+, and 3D Corning Gorilla Glass protection. The handset is powered by 2.96GHz Snapdragon 855 Plus SoC, which is said to offer better graphics performance than the Snapdragon 855 SoC that its predecessor runs on. The phonemaker ships the new smartphone with 8GB RAM and 128GB/ 256GB USB 3.0 storage. Like previous models by the company, there is no expandable storage option on the phone but this time around buyers will get free 55GB cloud storage for a year and 5GB beyond that (for the Gallery only).

The rear panel of the OnePlus 7T has frosted glass and triple-rear camera setup arranged in a circular camera module. The setup includes 48-megapixel Sony IMX586 with f/1.6 aperture, OIS, and EIS + 12-megapixel telephoto lens with 2x zoom + 16-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens with f/2.2 aperture and 117-degree field-of-view. The cameras are backed by dual-LED flash, 2x optical zoom, PDAF, 4K videos at up to 60fps, slo-mo video at 240fps, and features such as UltraShot, Nightscape, and HDR.

As for selfies, there is a 16-megapixel Sony IMX471 sensor with f/2.0, EIS, screen flash, and more on the front. The front camera doubles up as for face unlock. The handset will be driven by a 3,700mAh battery with 30W Warp Charge 30T, which is rated to add 70 percent juice in just half an hour. In terms of connectivity, OnePlus 7T features dual SIM slots, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, and NFC. Of course, the 3.5mm headphone jack is thing of the past on OnePlus devices so you will have to use the Type-C port for charging as well as wired earphones.
