OnePlus 7T Pro: Release date, specs, rumours, news and features

OnePlus typically announces a couple of smartphones a year. This year was the first time it announced two options of the first smartphone - the OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7 Pro.

The company officially revealed the "T" version of the standard device in the OnePlus 7T on 26 September, but we're still expecting the OnePlus 7T Pro. This is everything we have heard so far about the OnePlus 7T Pro.

Release date

• 10 October 2019

OnePlus officially revealed the OnePlus 7T at an event on 26 September in India.

The India event was only first event of the 7T series though. There's also an event on 10 October in London where the OnePlus 7T Pro is expected to be announced.

Price

• Around $670/£650

The OnePlus 7 Pro starts at $669 or £649. We expect the OnePlus 7T Pro to stay around the same price point.

Design

• 7T Pro expected to be same as OnePlus 7 Pro
• Full screen, pop up camera

Based on the leaks, it looks like the OnePlus 7T Pro will offer a very similar design to the OnePlus 7 Pro with a full, uninterrupted display, a triple camera on the rear in a slim vertical housing and a pop up front camera.

Display

• OnePlus 7T Pro expected to increase resolution
• In-display fingerprint sensor

The OnePlus 7 Pro comes with a 6.67-inch Quad HD+ display, though the OnePlus 7T Pro is said to adopt a similar size but higher resolution. There's a 19.5:9 aspect ratio, an AMOLED panel, 3D Corning Gorilla Glass, a 90Hz refresh rate, and HDR10+, all of which we expect on the OnePlus 7T Pro.

An under-display fingerprint sensor is also expected to appear on the 7T Pro, like the 7 Pro.

Hardware

• Updated hardware likely
• 5G enabled for Pro
• Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 Plus

Hardware is where the OnePlus 7T Pro is likely to differ from its predecessor. The OnePlus 7 Pro offers the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 chipset under its hood, which leads us to believe 7T Pro will feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 Plus platform.

It's also been claimed the Pro model might offer 5G capabilities like the OnePlus 7 Pro 5G, especially after Pete Lau, OnePlus CEO said the company would release a new 5G handset in Q4 of 2019.

RAM options on the current Pro device are 6GB, 8GB and 12GB, while storage options are 128GB and 256GB for the OnePlus 7 Pro. Rumours suggest the 7T Pro will have 8GB RAM and come in a 256GB storage option.

A 4000mAh battery is on board the OnePlus 7 Pro with Warp Charge 30 Fast Charging. Rumours suggest we will see a 4085mAh battery on the OnePlus 7T Pro, which is pretty much the same.

Cameras

• Same setup as OnePlus 7 Pro
• Possible software improvements

The OnePlus 7 Pro has a triple rear camera comprised of a 48-megapixel main camera, a 16-megapixel ultra-wide camera and an 8-megapixel telephoto camera. There's also a 16-megapixel pop up front camera.

We're expecting the same setup for the OnePlus 7T Pro but it wouldn't be too surprising to see some improvements, even if just software, allowing for the potential of better results in the "T" model.

Software

• Android 10

OnePlus confirmed the OnePlus 7T will launch on Android 10, so we're expecting the same treatment for the OnePlus 7T Pro.

Evan Blass shared some sketches on Twitter showing a OnePlus device with a circular camera housing on the rear. The sketches appear to resemble a presentation slide leak from December 2018 but it's not clear what OnePlus device they refer to.

Max.J then followed up his initial tweet with some more information. The 15 October date is still detailed but as the on sale date, rather than the event date. The leaker claims the OnePlus 7T Pro launch in India on 26 September, followed by the US and EU on 10 October.

OnePlus' CEO, Pete Lau, has said the company's already planning a second 5G handset.

"If you want to be a premium phone in 2020, you have to be equipped with 5G technology," he said.

9 August 2019: OnePlus 7T Pro photos show up again, this time not just the front

Further images have emerged showing more details of the upcoming OnePlus 7T Pro. It's still stuck in its protective camouflaging case, but very little - if anything - appears to have changed in terms of design and build compared to the OnePlus 7 Pro. It would seem even the Nebula Blue colour is sticking around for another generation. 

On the back, the triple camera system and LED flash also appears to be identical to the current OnePlus 7 Pro. It's possible the sensors and lenses are improved, but that's not something a picture can show easily.

The network didn't reveal which 5G device it would be getting from OnePlus, meaning it could be the current OnePlus 7 Pro 5G, but with the 7T Pro expected to arrive soon, speculation has suggested it might be this model instead.

5 August 2019: OnePlus 7T Pro real images allegedly leak online

Images appeared on SlashLeaks and Weibo showing a couple of real-life images of what's said to be the OnePlus 7T Pro. 

Both were in a protective casing, covering most of the design except the screen. One image shows an Android Beta Program screen, while the other shows a pixellated home screen to obscure some of the details but neither give away much.
