#LeakPeek: Would OnePlus 7 look like this?
Thanks to a barrage of leaks, we know OnePlus 7 will be a major upgrade over the OnePlus 6T. In fact, there's a new, all-screen design (due to a pop-up selfie snapper), triple rear-cameras, and flagship internals. Interestingly, going by the latest case renders, there are several notable design changes on OnePlus 7 than just the notch-less, hole-less display. Take a look!
An all-screen design for increased screen real-estate
The renders show the phone from all sides, highlighting the new all-screen design achieved by opting for a pop-up camera. This radical design change will offer a significantly higher screen-to-body ratio of over 90% as against nearly 86% on OnePlus 6T. Further, OnePlus 7 will feature a vertically-stacked triple camera module along with OnePlus 6T-like curved glass back and a metal frame.
What else is changing on the OnePlus 7?
Alongside the new design, these OnePlus 7 renders reveal a bigger earpiece grille than OnePlus 6T's, possibly for packing a secondary speaker. The alert slider is also repositioned closer to the power button while the SIM card tray has been moved from the left side to the bottom of the frame. Lastly, there is a Type-C port, bottom speaker, but a missing headphone jack.
OnePlus 7's triple rear camera setup to include 48MP sensor
OnePlus 7 will also see an upgrade from 6T's dual-lens setup to a triple camera array. Reportedly, it will be a 48MP+20MP+5MP setup. Up front, it will offer a 16MP (f/1.9) camera. The latest renders also show a couple of dots on the rear camera unit, suggesting support for laser autofocus. Moreover, the LED flash is now circular and not like 6T's pill-shaped unit.
Under the hood
According to previous leaks, OnePlus 7 will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 chipset, paired with upto 12GB RAM option. Further, it is also expected to house a bigger 4,000mAh battery and support faster 44W Dash Charging - another major upgrade over OnePlus 6T's 3,700mAh battery and 20W fast-charging. Lastly, it's already confirmed that the phone won't support wireless charging and 5G network.
Pricing: Expect an uptick over OnePlus 6T's price tag
OnePlus 6T has outshined competitors with its successful mix of premium design, flagship performance, and an affordable price tag. But given the design makeover, camera upgrade, and internal increment, OnePlus 7 might see an uptick of $50-100 over OnePlus 6T. That said, the phone is sure to attract masses as it will still cost $300-400 less than a $1,000 Galaxy S10 or iPhone 11.
