As with the 6T, they’re mounted vertically with
a slight bump, and set against a back panel
that’s clad in a gorgeous matte-blue-, gray-, or
almond-colored glass.
The button and port layout is also the
same as the 6T’s, which has its pros and cons:
You get the awesome alert slider, but
unfortunately that also
means the headphone
jack is missing.
Theoretically, OnePlus
could have used the 7
Pro’s extra thickness
(8.8mm, versus 8.2mm
on the 6T) to bring back
the audio jack. Alas,
you’ll need to use
Bluetooth headphones or
buy an adapter—OnePlus
isn’t supplying one in the
box anymore.

AMAZING SCREEN, SO-SO

One aspect of the OnePlus 7 Pro that might

be a deal-breaker for some: It’s big and

heavy. With a whopping 6.67-inch display

and a 162.6 × 75.9mm frame weighing 206

grams, it’s easily a contender for biggest

smartphone of the year, topping the iPhone

XS Max and just a hair smaller than the

6.7-inch Galaxy S10 5G (which starts at

$1,299, but who’s counting).

Assuming you don’t mind the size, you’ll

have a hard time finding a better display.

OnePlus calls it Fluid AMOLED, and it’s just as

dazzling as Samsung’s Dynamic AMOLED. It

offers a crisp QHD+ (3120x1440) resolution

at 516ppi, remarkable brightness, and a 90Hz

refresh rate for impeccable animations and

gestures. In lay terms, it’s an absolute joy to

use. The only thing I missed was an always-on

OnePlus solves the notch with a pop-up camera.

The in-display fingerprint scanner still isn’t as good as a physical scanner.
