Several leaks suggest that the upcoming OnePlus 7 will pack a couple of surprises. Moreover, many reports have ‘leaked’ various details about the upcoming OnePlus phone, here’s a look at everything we know so far about the upcoming OnePlus phone.
OnePlus 7: All We Know So Far
Specs
The OnePlus 7 is already confirmed to come with Qualcomm’s new and powerful Snapdragon 855 processor. Currently, this processor is powering the Xiaomi Mi 9 and Samsung Galaxy S10. However, OnePlus could offer it with the Snapdragon X50 5G modem for 5G-equipped markets whereas India could get the 4G LTE variant.
Reportedly, RAM and memory configurations will be 6GB/128GB and 10GB/256GB. Lastly, the OnePlus 7 will most likely run on Android 9 out of the box.

Display and Design
Recent reports have revealed that the OnePlus 7 will be offering a very high screen-to-body ratio since it will be featuring a notch-less full-screen display with a pop-up selfie camera. The smartphone was recently seen in the renders, which confirmed that the OnePlus 7 will be indeed sporting a pop-up selfie camera.
Cameras
As we mentioned, one of the biggest highlights of OnePlus 7 is that it will be the first OnePlus phone with a pop-up selfie camera. OnePlus 7 is expected to come equipped with a 48-megapixel primary camera along with a 20-megapixel secondary camera. The third camera will be a 5-megapixel depth sensor for bokeh effects.

In-display Fingerprint Scanner
Looking closely at the previous renders, it is confirmed that OnePlus 7 smartphones don’t house any fingerprint scanners on the rear. So, the device will have an in-display fingerprint sensor technology like with the OnePlus 6T.
Battery and Charging
Upcoming OnePlus 7 could house a massive 4,000mAh battery, which would be bigger than both the OnePlus 6 and the OnePlus 6T. The device might sport faster 30W Warp Charging, but OnePlus is yet to reveal anything on this yet.
OnePlus 7 Launch Date
Reports suggest that OnePlus might be introducing the OnePlus 7 smartphone during around May. Given that the predecessor OnePlus 6 was announced on the May 2018, we can expect the OnePlus 7 to launch in May this year.
OnePlus 7 Price
As for the pricing, since the OnePlus 6 and OnePlus 6T devices were launched in India at starting price of Rs 34,999 and Rs 37,999, respectively, the OnePlus 7 would probably be similar or be priced higher than that. But, till now the company had launched ten smartphones and each of them has arrived with a price tag that is slightly more than the phone it replaced. So, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see OnePlus 7 launching at a high price. The OnePlus 7 will replace the existing OnePlus 6 and OnePlus 6T that is currently sold in the country.
