OnePlus 7T
PROS Good price for
fast, smooth
performance.
Excellent wireless
capabilities. Fast
charging.
CONS Poor low-light
camera performance.
Less storage and
shorter battery life
than the OnePlus 7
Pro.
BOTTOM LINE The
OnePlus 7T for
T-Mobile has terrific
performance for its
price, but it occupies
an uncomfortable
place in the
company’s phone
lineup.
