OnePlus 7 Pro flagship phone product review

Although OnePlus does not officially say that it is a flagship killer, it has always given people the impression that it is, especially in overseas markets. When the OnePlus 7 Pro was launched, the major Android flagships were overwhelmed, because the OnePlus 7 Pro really combined "flagship" and "cost performance". It can be said that OnePlus 7 Pro will sit firmly on the throne of the machine for a long time in the camp of domestic Android.
 
There is no obvious difference between the appearance of the OnePlus 7 and the OnePlus 6T, and there are not many opportunities to appear at the press conference, and it is only sold overseas as an upgraded version of the OnePlus 6T, while the OnePlus 7 Pro is a new independent design and has nothing to do with OPPO's existing models.
 
The OnePlus 7 Pro uses a dual-sided 3D glass solution, which is common on flagship models, and there are several main benefits to doing so: it improves the fit of the phone to the hand, visually reduces the edge of the screen when viewed head-on, and creates an aesthetic that the designer feels will have. However, the drawbacks are also obvious, such as the OnePlus 7 Pro, which reduces the curvature and increases the curved surface, which will be significantly reflective when placed flat on the table. Anti-mistouch is better than the Samsung S10, but it can't avoid the occurrence of mistouch; When downloading a third-party input method, both sides of the keyboard will extend to the edge of the surface, reducing the typing experience; The most important point is that the mobile phone film of this screen is very difficult to do, in addition to the factory with the film, the official film has not been sold, and there is no particularly good substitute for the third party.
 
The back of the fuselage is a central vertical row of three cameras, which can also be done thanks to the large size of 162.6×75.9mm, of course, the weight has also reached 206g. OnePlus places the 4000mAh battery in the lower half, so the upper half can be placed with a triple camera module and a lifting front camera, which is not possible with a small body like the Meizu 16S. The back glass is frosted, not easy to stain fingerprints, and it will not be as slippery as the P30 Pro, and the overall grip is very good. In addition, OnePlus 7 Pro retains a three-stage switch, cancels the 3.5mm headphone jack, no infrared, and although it is IP-level waterproof, it does not certify the waterproof level, and the official does not advertise this, because there is no warranty for water ingress, and consumers do not want to take risks.
 
OnePlus 7 Pro This screen is customized Samsung Fluid AMOLED, 6.67 inches, with a resolution of 3120×1440, reaching the QHD level, Pentile arrangement, PPI is 516, converted to RGB standard arrangement is 415, screen refresh rate is 90Hz, supports DC dimming, supports HDR10, and has obtained a DisplayMate A rating, which is at the same level as iPhone XS Max and Samsung S10. It is one of the best mobile phone OLED screens on the market.
 
The 90Hz refresh rate makes browsing smoother, and in slow motion, the OnePlus 7 Pro does noticeably smoother than the Samsung S10 when swiping the page, but it's less noticeable compared to the iPhone Xs Max, possibly due to better iOS optimization. Switching from 60Hz to 90Hz will result in a significant improvement in smoothness, and going back to 60Hz may not be easy to accept.
 
90HzRefresh rate itself is a good thing,But just like the lack of HDR film source in China,At present, mobile games that require the number of frames are mainly 60fps,Only a few have achieved a higher frame rate,This leads to HDR and high refresh rate are not much use in China,High refresh rate can only be used in daily browsing the web or brushing Weibo has a more obvious feeling。
 
When playing HDR videos, OnePlus 7 Pro's color performance is closer to that of the S10, but there is a bit of a gap between the two in the dark details, which is difficult to find if you don't look carefully, and the style is completely different from that of the iPhone XS Max, because the Xs Max has Dolby Vision, the colors are more vibrant, and the overall look will be better.
 
The OnePlus 7 Pro's under-display fingerprint recognition is also the latest generation solution, and there is no animation dragging, and the unlocking speed is very fast, which is one of the best in the flagship. In addition to the screen fingerprint, the OnePlus 7 Pro also supports less secure face recognition, but every time you have to wait for the camera to rise, it is better to unlock it directly with your fingerprint. The OnePlus 7 Pro's lifting camera can also be used for 5 years if it is raised and lowered 150 times a day, and many male users will not turn on the front camera several times a day, let alone it. In the case of the camera rising, with a slight throw, the body senses a change in gravity, and the camera will retract by itself, which is very safe.
 
OnePlus 7 Pro also uses a horizontal linear motor that is not common in flagship models, called Haptic Engine, officially said to be the largest one in the Android camp, the actual experience is really excellent, the vibration intensity is adjustable in 9 gears, and the vibration feedback is very timely and crisp.
 
Compared with the screen improvement, there are no bright spots in the SoC, because the same Snapdragon 855, OnePlus 7 Pro's Geekbench single-core score is 3402, and the multi-core score is 10943, which is in line with the mainstream performance as a whole. The 855 flagship model will not be too far behind as long as it does not roll over in terms of running scores.
 
The point is, why does the OnePlus 7 Pro feel much faster in daily use under the premise of being the same Snapdragon 855? One of the reasons for this is UFS 3.0, which has a 79% faster read and write speed than UFS 2.1, and can load faster than UFS 2.1 when opening large games on a daily basis. Another reason is the optimization of hydrogen OS, because hydrogen OS itself is very close to Android native OS, and OnePlus simplifies animation as much as possible, in scenes that do not require animation, such as unlocking, there is no need for animation, and when animation is needed, such as switching between the main screen and the negative screen, calling out multitasking, it will be made as fast as possible, not fancy at all, just plain fast.
 
On previous OnePlus models, taking photos has never been a selling point, but when it comes to the OnePlus 7 Pro, taking photos has suddenly become a selling point, and even scored 111 points in the DxO Mark, ranking behind the Huawei P30 Pro and Samsung S10 5G with only 1 point difference, and the still photo part is 118 points, only one point less than the Huawei P30 Pro, and one point higher than the Samsung S10 5G.
 
The triple camera module of the OnePlus 7 Pro is the main camera IMX586 (with optical image stabilization), the telephoto S5K3M5 (with optical image stabilization), and the ultra-wide-angle IMX481. Within 3x optical zoom, the OnePlus 7 Pro can show very good picture detail, excellent dynamic range, and excellent white balance, which is fully in line with the requirements of the first echelon. The color adjustment is more vivid, and it will be more eye-catching at first glance, but if you look closely, the Samsung S10 is more natural, but it is much better than the P30 Pro, and there will be no reddish or yellowish cast. Once it exceeds 3x zoom, the 8 million pixel telephoto will be held back, and the word "detail" is basically missing, which is more chicken.
 
The night scene part is not a part that the OnePlus 7 Pro is particularly good at, and the DxO Mark has not tested the night scene shooting project, but it is still at the level of the first echelon. When using video mode, the OnePlus 7 Pro and the Huawei P30 Pro don't have a very noticeable gap, and the 7 Pro has even sharper detail than the P30 Pro in some parts of the reddish and yellow light. With night mode enabled, the P30 Pro has more light intake and is able to fully express the details of the dark parts, but this is also the reason why the highlights are easily overexposed, while the OnePlus 7 Pro and Samsung S10 have more layered images and are closer to real night images.
 
It is difficult to unify the two directions to retain the layering of the night scene, which is closer to the real perception, or to shoot the night scene as daytime and provide more details, so consumers can only make their own choices.
 
OnePlus 7 Pro's system is based on Android 9.0 Hydrogen OS, the system itself is very close to Android's native system, clean, light and brisk, don't worry about advertising. The full-screen gesture has been optimized on the basis of Pixel, but there is no full-screen gesture that swipes back left and right, and it is said that it will be updated through OTA in the future. Not everyone is suitable for this system, native means that many functions need to be set up by themselves, for people who like to play mobile phones, the degree of freedom is very high, but for ordinary users, it will lack convenience.
 
In terms of charging range, OnePlus 7 Pro is equipped with a 4000mAh battery, supports Warp 30W fast charging, with a peak power of 25W, it only takes 20 minutes to charge from 0-50%, and 1 hour and 16 minutes from 0-100%, and it is compatible with PD fast charging, and the screen-off power is also 15W. OnePlus 7 Pro's battery life is not outstanding, because the resolution power consumption of 2K is still higher than that of 1080P, and people who use it should not abandon the advantage of 2K, but on the contrary, there is not much difference in power consumption between 60Hz and 90Hz, and it is recommended to keep it at 90Hz. The background management is more conservative,Basically, it won't kill the background,You won't miss the notification of the communication APP,It's better than HuaweiP30 Pro's radical practice of killing the background in exchange for battery life。
