OnePlus 7 preview: Release date, expected price, leaks, and everything else you need to know

OnePlus 7 might look similar to the OnePlus 6T

OnePlus 7 is said to have less exciting design compared to the OnePlus 7 Pro. Leaked images obtained by Winfuture reveal a smartphone that appears to look exactly the same as the previous generation OnePlus 6T. The images show the OnePlus 7 with a waterdrop-style notch on top of the display to house a front-facing camera, dual cameras on the back arranged in a horizontal arrangement and an alert slider like the previous generation OnePlus handsets. Expect the OnePlus 7 to have a metal frame with a glass rear, just like the OnePlus 6T.

Finally, this is what the #OnePlus7 looks like: more of the same isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Check the link for a full gallery: https://t.co/oyfwy21IpS

OnePlus 7 to have dual cameras on the back

Unlike the OnePlus 7 Pro which will include three cameras on the rear, the standard variant of OnePlus 7 will only offer a dual-camera setup on the back. This is something we have heard before in previous rumours and reports related to OnePlus 7. The setup reportedly includes a 48MP primary camera and a 5MP secondary camera. As seen in multiple leaked renders, we are getting a good look at the dual camera on the OnePlus 7.

OnePlus 7 will have a Snapdragon 855 processor

OnePlus 7 is expected to offer decent specifications. The phone will have a Snapdragon 855 processor, backed by 6 or 8GB RAM and 128 or 256GB of internal storage. The supposed OnePlus 7 doesn’t appear to have any sign of a fingerprint scanner on the back or front. That suggests the phone will have an in-display fingerprint scanner, just like the OnePlus 6T.

OnePlus 7 will have a flat display

The renders of the OnePlus 7 reveal that it will ship with the flat display instead of a curved screen. A curved AMOLED screen is usually reserved for more premium phones, which is what we’d expect on the OnePlus 7 Pro. Nevertheless, the 6.4-inch AMOLED screen on the OnePlus 7 should be good enough to enjoy multimedia content like movies and games.

OnePlus 7 India launch set for May 14

No word on the pricing yet,  though we don’t expect the OnePlus 7 to cost less than the OnePlus 6T, which starts at Rs 37,999. We will have to wait for OnePlus to officially announce the retail price of OnePlus 7 on May 14 in India, where we will get the true details.
