OnePlus 7T Pro 8 GB RAM 256 GB SIM-Free Smartphone - Haze Blue (2 Year Manufacturer Warranty) – United Kingdom

I have had iphones on contracts for 10 years. I also have a Mac as my only computer, so was reluctant to try anything else.However, I decided that I needed to break away from the contract loop, and buy a phone outright to use with a sim only deal. This phone blew away the competition at the same pricepoint.I LOVED my iPhones. My last one was the iphone 8, which was coming up to 2 years old. This phone absolutely destroys it in every way.The screen! OMG - no cut outs, no notches, just fills the entire face of the phone with 90htz, OLED goodness. Seriously this is the greatest screen ever fitted to a mobile phone.The speed! It charges SO fast! If I'm going out and my phone is on 15%, I can plug it in while I get ready. 20 minutes later it's at 80+%! Every task you do on the phone is SO FAST! it makes my iphone look like a toy.The battery - I use it in a morning before work, as a sat nav for an hour, on and off during my 8 hour day at work, and as a sat nav on the way home again. It's never dropped below 55% by the time I get home. My iphone would have needed a good charge half way through the dayOxygen - The optimisations that Oneplus have put into this phone are incredible. It's Stock Android, only better!Compared to the Apple experience. OK - it doesn't natively play nicely with a Mac. But I can now do everything that I did with my iPhone, plus a whole lot more. A bit of research gave me a great mail app, a great messaging app (that I can also use from my Mac), screen mirroring and phone control from my Mac etc etc. In short it's not as 'plug and play' as using an iphone within apple's ecosystem - but everything is possible.Seriously if you are considering this phone, just buy it - it is completely and utterly fantastic. The best phone I have ever seen or used, by some margin.

Watch reviews and comparison videos for the details as they tend to hit the key points on what makes this phone a joy to use, but the difference makers for me is the Oneplus software and that notchless display (I bought the 7T Pro).Coming from the 3T, using googles backing up services for your phone (all automatic on setup) and the Oneplus transfer app, moving from my previous device to this was unbelievably easy. It grabbed every media file, remembered info (wifi passwords etc.) and settings option, and transferred it through a local wifi hotspot connection. All automatically setup once the app was installed on my old device from the Playstore (you will have to re-sign in playstore apps where relevant).That notchless display is spectacular; the refresh rate, software and high resolution makes using the phone lightning quick. I also tend to enjoy a lot of media through my device and it's never looked more GLORIOUS. I could gush about this screen all damned day. It's sad they've moved to the hole-punch for the 8 series, but grab this device instead, only gonna become cheaper with time!Some downsides; it's a bar of soap, OnePlus thankfully includes a decent enough case in-box which helps this, but out of a case, this thing is WAITING to slide out of your hands (though it's pretty durable looking at vids online).It's also a bit of a chunky boi, while I personally don't mind the size, cases can easily increase it's already large footprint very quickly. I've found a slim fit case with a flip cover for the screen as a happy middle between size and protection (the Nilkin one on here for 7t pro), but bear in mind the thicker armoured cases might make this quite unweildly for some who want a slimmer feel in hand when using or carrying the phone around.Overall still a 5/5 from me however, found a case which hits my protection-to-size sweet spot, the phone is damn near perfect for all of my purposes and over-delivers like a champ in it's screen and software features. Phenomenal device.

The speed at which this phone charges is amazing.There is nothing more annoying than knowing that you have to leave the hose in 20 mins or so for an all day event/work, knowing that your phone is at 5% or so due to forgetting to charge it. In just 10-20 mins of charging, the phones battery will go from 5% (in my example) to 50% plus easily. For peace-of-mind alone, it's one of the features I love the most.The 90Hz refresh rate on the screen is also fantastic, and really doesn't dent the battery life all that much. I'm not a heavy user, but do spend a lot of time on Twitter and Reddit when commuting to and from work.I came from a Pixel 2 XL, which was having an issue with it's battery charging port, which was driving me nuts, especially as I am very forgetful when it comes to remembering to charge the thing. I had to hold the charger in the port and keep pressure on it just to charge.Camera wise, it's not as good as the Pixel, but to honest, you'd have to look pretty close to see a huge difference. The front camera pops up for selfies (if that's your thing) as well as for facial recognition. I tested dropping the phone on to my sofa with the camera out, and it will instantly go back in if it senses that the phone is falling, which is a great little feature.Price wise, it really is value for money, as you will be paying a lot more for the features that this device has when compared to other flagship devices. The OLED screen also look incredible compared to my previous Pixel XL 2.

I liked everything about this phone.I used to have the OnePlus 6T before which was a great little phone.This is the version up with a pro camera.Pictures on it are good.Very fast and responsive great refresh rate.Beautiful looking phone.Lovely curved screen reminds me of the galaxy edge.Depending on how much you us your phone the battery lasts 3/4 of a days charge.But that Could also because I have bought this phone second hand.Love the way the OnePlus 7 tpros camera pops up from inside.But I am still happy it's a all-round good phone.
