highlighting it, others seem to think it’s a little too big.
We don’t imagine it being a deal-breaker if you’re not a
huge fan though, especially with the range of high-end
features on offer from the 7T.
The phone is also covered in OnePlus’ anti-glare
glass and sports the company’s fourth-gen frosted
matte glass finish, providing a rather unique look. You
might want a OnePlus 7T case, though.
The new Glacier Blue colour option is great at
catching the light, but it’s not as reflective and in-your-
face as the mirror-finish smartphones on the market.
That subtlety is appreciated by us, and it also means
that it’s not as much of a fingerprint magnet as its
mirrored counterparts either.
It’s also impressively thin at only 8.1mm – down
from 8.2mm of the standard OnePlus 7 – and feels
relatively lightweight in the hand too, measuring in at
190g. Fans will also be glad to know that the much-
adored Alert Slider is back too.

As mentioned above, the OnePlus 7T features a triple
rear-camera setup, up from the dual-camera setup
of the standard OnePlus 7. The OnePlus 7T’s main
sensor is actually the same as that of the OnePlus 7
Pro – it’s 48Mp, with an f/1.6 aperture, Optical Image
Stabilization and a seven-element lens to provide a
high-end mobile shooting experience.
As you’d expect with a camera boasting those
specs, the performance is impressive – images are
generally detailed, well-balanced and avoid unnatural
contrast levels. There’s also pixel-binning tech at work
