This is the brand new OnePlus 7 Pro.

and the question as always, is it worth it?

So this is the first time that OnePlus has brought out

a Pro version of their phone

and there's a lot to like here.

Unlike the standard OnePlus 7,

which we actually haven't even seen yet,

although by the time you watch this video

they will most likely have it announced.

The Pro version brings a brand new,

completely bezel-less display,

and we have a new triple camera design,

with some really nice features

including an incredibly fast display.

This is a full 90 hertz and it looks awesome.

It should be no surprise that OnePlus

is opting to go for multiple versions of their flagship.

I mean you look around

and pretty much everyone else is doing the same thing.

There are like four different versions of the Galaxy S10,

and of course with the iPhone we have the XR, the XS,

as well as the XS Max.

And by going up a little bit on the budget,

it means that we get a lot of extra features

on the OnePlus 7 Pro.

So one of the most noticeable ones is the lack of a notch.

Instead we have a motorized pop-up selfie camera,

which actually is a pretty good way of doing it.

If you get rid of the selfie camera,

you'll see there's very, very little bezel,

just a tiny little bit of a chin on the bottom,

but as soon as you open up that camera,

the selfie pops right up.

And this is supposedly pretty durable.

It's rated for something like 100 or 150,000 operations

and if it detects that you're dropping it,

it should automatically pull the camera in

to avoid any kind of damage.

But it seems to be pretty sturdy.

I mean I'm not gonna destroy it or something, but.

Speaking of, the screen has also seen a major improvement.

Now first of all, it's big.

This is a 6.7 inch panel,

which makes the OnePlus 7 Pro even bigger

than something like the Galaxy S10 Plus.

One of the most noticeable things here, though,

is that not only is it a higher resolution,

but it also runs at a higher frame rate at a full 90 hertz.

Now we've seen this a couple times

with some gaming phones such as the ROG Phone,

even a faster display with the Razer Phone.

And this really does make a huge difference.

Everything is so much more smooth.

And of course that's been one of the major advantages

of OnePlus for years.

They have a very, very well-optimized software stack,

on top of the latest and greatest on the silicon side,

which means that this straight up flies.

OnePlus has also taken a page out of Samsung's book

and curved the glass both on front and back.

I mean, if you close your eyes,

this basically feels like a Galaxy S10,

but that's certainly not a bad thing.

Not only does it mean that the OnePlus 7

feels a little bit thinner,

but importantly it also means

that it just sort of feels nice when you're scrolling,

especially when you're swiping in from the side.

I know that some people don't love this,

especially if you're watching a video,

it does distort a little bit on the edges,

but I'm a huge fan of this.

And honestly, this is some of the nicest hardware

that OnePlus has ever put out.

It's Gorilla Glass, it's aluminum,

and of course you've got to talk about that color.

So it's, actually I forget what it's called, it's.

- Nebula blue. - Nebula blue, thank you.

So nebula blue is sort of an interesting textured finish

that sort of, very much changes based on the light.

Man, I like it.

Like I really, really feel like this is a super,

super tight-looking phone.

Sadly we don't have a headphone jack,

but the hardware is absolutely on point.

One of the nice things that I feel like

I always appreciate on OnePlus phones

is that you have the alert slider.

So just like on an iPhone,

you can very easily switch between vibrate, silent, ring,

whatever the case is.

And I just don't understand why more people don't do this.

Something that returned from the OnePlus 6T

is the in-display fingerprint sensor.

Now generally speaking, it actually is pretty quick,

but my main issue, just like with the 6T,

is it's just not quite as accurate as I'd like.

So when you compare it to something like the Pixel

or even the Galaxy S10e

which has the side-mounted fingerprint sensor,

both of those are not only quicker

but more importantly, they seem to be very, very accurate.

This works most of the time,

and as always if I'm on camera, it works 100% of the time,

'cause that's just the way it works,

but in normal use, I feel like one out of maybe 10 times,

it doesn't pick up my finger,

and that's just not something that I really deal with

with pretty much any other fingerprint unlock.

So the speakers aren't amazing.

So it does have a bottom-firing speaker

as well as ones built up to the tiny little earpiece.

It's fine, I mean it's certainly not bad.

But it does not compare to phones such as the iPhone,

such as the Pixel.

It's just decent.

And of course we still don't have a headphone jack,

which after taking a look at the Pixel 3a,

kinda it's got me nostalgic,

it's got me wishing for that headphone jack back.

One of the main reasons OnePlus has been popular

is they put very high performance specs

and very well optimized software

in a package which generally speaking doesn't cost a ton.

So inside here we have the absolute top of the line

as far as Android goes right now.

So you have a Snapdragon 855,

anywhere between six, eight or even 12 gigs of RAM.

Now 12 gigs of RAM might seem excessive.

I mean it's on, that's more than most laptops have.

But realistically, it actually makes a lot of sense,

specifically on the OnePlus 7 Pro.

If you look at the price difference to go from

six gigs to 12 gigs and to double the storage,

it's less than $100.

That, that is an incredibly good deal.

I know some people might be upset

that, oh, the OnePlus is more expensive now.

Considering that you're getting a 12 gig of RAM,

a Snapdragon 855 flagship for less than $800.

I mean, yeah.

- [Ken] For less than $1000.

- That's actually a great point, even less than $1000, yeah.

It is so hard to argue

with the value proposition on this phone, right?

I mean sure, if you wanna go

and make sure that you save every penny you can,

you can drop the nice display

and go down to something like the OnePlus 7,

but considering that you get

the awesome screen with 90 hertz,

again, I can't really emphasize that enough,

just how smooth that is,

paired with these super, super reasonable upgrades, right?

I mean as long as you're okay with the blue color,

because I think, like previous years,

the blue color is the only way

to get the maxed out version like I have here,

but I mean, it's only $90 to go from the bottom spec,

to double every single aspect of the phone.

RAM, SSD, everything.

I mean that's, that's pretty killer.

I'm legitimately impressed.

Take a look around back,

and the OnePlus 7 Pro now has a new triple-camera array.

So very much like some other 2019 flagships,

this gives you a ultra wide-angle lens

with a 17 millimeter equivalent.

You have a 48 megapixel standard shooter,

and there's also now a new triple optical zoom,

which will give you roughly a 78 millimeter lens,

or again three times the optical zoom
