PACKED CHARMER

OnePlus 7 Pro

The OnePlus 7 Pro is a phone of many firsts. It’s the first true full-screen OnePlus phone without a notch or cutout for

its front cam; it’s the first OnePlus phone to have screen resolution higher than 1080p; and it’s the first OnePlus phone

equipped with three cameras on the back.

The phone has a 6.67-inch, QHD+ bezel-free Fluid AMOLED screen that runs at a buttery 90Hz. Under the hood, it is

powered by an octa-core Snapdragon 855 with Qualcomm AI engine, and an Adreno 640 GPU. The phone is available with

128/256GB of storage, and 6GB/8GB/12GB of RAM.

The aforementioned cameras include a 48MP main sensor, a 16MP ultra-wide camera, and an 8MP telephoto camera.

Meanwhile, the selfie shooter is a pop-up 16MP unit that OnePlus claims is built to last; you could take over 150 selfies

every day for five-and-a-half years without wearing down the camera. Price is P38,990 for the 6GB RAM + 128GB ROM

variant and P42,990 for the 8GB RAM + 256GB ROM model.

A MORE POCKETABLE MI 9

Xiaomi Mi 9 SE

It may not have the range-topping

Snapdragon 855 chipset of its

bigger brother, but the P15,990

Xiaomi Mi 9 SE does come with

the same flagship features that

make up the Mi 9: the Samsung

AMOLED display, an improved

in-screen fingerprint sensor, and

a 48MP main camera.

The Mi 9 SE is equipped with

a Snapdragon 712 processor,

an Adreno 616 GPU, 6GB RAM,

64GB storage, 3,070mAh battery,

and a 5.97-inch display with a

dewdrop-style notch where the

20MP front camera lives.

Like the Mi 9, the SE version has

three rear cameras: 13MP ultra-

wide angle, 48MP wide-angle,

and 8MP telephoto.
