BOTTOM LINE
Ask yourself these three questions before
buying a OnePlus 7 Pro: Do you hate plugging
in your phone in to charge it? Do you want to
take your phone swimming? Does a top-notch
camera matter more than anything else? If you
answer yes to any of them, then the OnePlus 7
Pro probably isn’t right for you.
Otherwise, it’s hard to recommend any
other phone. Even if you buy the top-of-the-
line 7 Pro with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of
storage, it’ll only cost you $750, the same
price as the iPhone XR and the Galaxy S10e.
The OnePlus 7 Pro is superior to those
phones in just about every way. The display is
remarkable, the design is nearly perfect, and
the speed is simply mind-blowing. TheThe Nebula Blue color of the OnePlus 7 Pro is a beauty.
camera, while not among the
best, is definitely solid.
T-Mobile is again the
exclusive U.S. carrier for the
OnePlus 7 Pro, but it’ll work
with any network. I’m a
Verizon subscriber and for the
first time, I was able to pop in
my SIM into a OnePlus phone
and immediately start using it
without any hiccups or
workarounds. That’s
something that can’t be said
for most international phones:
Anyone can buy an unlocked
OnePlus 7 Pro without
worrying whether it’ll work
with their network. And unless they either
hate wires or love water, I suspect a lot of
would-be Pixel 3 XL and Galaxy S10+ buyers
are going to do just that.
