ISSUE 68 • ANDROID ADVISOR 107experience. It’s not so far from stock Android that
you’re unsure of how to use it, but it certainly has its
own individual (and heavily customizable) style.
OxygenOS 10 utilizes AI like many smartphones
in 2019, but in a different way. Rather than using it
in gimmicky ways, OnePlus uses built-in AI to learn
which apps you use most and intelligently display
information from those apps on your lock screen.
This varies depending on the apps you use, but
we’ve seen calendar reminders and media playback
information appear without any prompt from us.
Zen Mode has also made a return in OxygenOS
10 allowing you to lock yourself out of your phone
(but still take photos or receive calls) if you need to
force yourself to have a break. However, you can
now extend the downtime in 10-minute increments
up to an hour at a time, perfect for situations where
you want to switch off and avoid the temptation
of mindlessly scrolling. Plus, OnePlus has a regular
update commitment with the 7T, offering two years
of OS upgrades and three years of security patches.
Verdict
The OnePlus 7T is a phenomenal smartphone that
bridges the gap between the company’s standard
and Pro lines, featuring a large 6.55in AMOLED
display with speedy 90Hz refresh rate and HDR10
support, a triple-camera setup on the rear consisting
of a wide, ultra-wide and telephoto lens and rapid
30-watt charging that boosts your phone to almost
50 percent in just 20 minutes. The design is eye-
catching without being too in-your-face, and the
