ISSUE 68 • ANDROID ADVISOR 95The OnePlus 7T comes with an upgraded 6.5in
Fluid AMOLED display – up from 6.41in on the
OnePlus 7 – and ships with a new 20:9 aspect ratio
too. It’s detailed, boasting a resolution of 2,400x1,080
(402ppi), and with a claimed 1000 nits max brightness,
we’ve found that it’s more than bright enough to be
used in sunny environments without issue.
You’ll also find HDR10 certification, another feature
of the OnePlus 7T Pro, which provides improved
contrast ratio when watching HDR content on Netflix
and YouTube. Combine that with a new-generation
display panel which OnePlus claims cuts blue light
by 40 percent and you’ve got a comfortable mobile
viewing experience.
But, of course, it’s the upgraded refresh rate of
the OnePlus 7T that has everybody talking. The 90Hz
refresh rate makes the 7T feel more responsive in
use, even if you’re just swiping through Twitter or
reading your favourite websites in Chrome. Everything
seems smoother, and it provides a premium mobile
experience when compared to most smartphones
on the market at the moment.
The in-display fingerprint reader is back with the 7T,
and it’s faster than ever. That’s mainly due to enhanced
algorithms powering the technology, but whatever
the reason, the end result is that fingerprint scanning
now takes less than a second and hardly ever rejects
a registered fingerprint. In fact, we’d go as far as to
say that it’s among the fastest and most responsive
in-display fingerprint scanners we’ve seen to date.
Display tech-aside, the display is as near to bezel-
less as you’ll get without ditching the front-facing
