102 ANDROID ADVISOR • ISSUE 68
decided to turn it up a notch with Super Stabilization,
a new feature you can toggle via the video section
of the camera app to provide a super stabilized video
akin to that produced by the GoPro Hero7 Black. The
mode works well, producing impressively stabilized
wide-angle footage even when we were intentionally
shaking while walking, but there’s a bug in the pre-
release software that renders the videos useless.
In our video test, we noticed a weird central
distortion to all Super Stabilized videos. We hope
that OnePlus fixes this issue before launch as it ruins
the overall professional look of the footage. Another
issue with the video aspect of the 7T is the omission
of the ultra-wide-angle lens. While you’re free to
shoot video with either the main or telephoto lens, we
can’t currently find any way to record video using the
ultra-wide angle camera aside from using the heavily-
cropped (and currently broken) Super Stabilization
mode. We hope that like the Super Stabilization
issue, this is a bug that’ll be fixed prior to launch.
Flipping over the OnePlus 7T, you’ll find a front-
facing 16Mp fixed-focus selfie camera capable of
recording 1080p at 30fps with EIS. It offers support
for the built-in Portrait mode, although you won’t

snapper that will suffice for the likes of selfie-taking,

Moving beyond the display and cameras, the OnePlus
7T, like all iterative ‘T’ upgrades before it, offers a
