OnePlus’ new flagship smartphone, the OnePlus 7 Pro, is here — and it’s very different from its predecessor, the OnePlus 6T

The notch is gone. At 6.67 inches, the screen is bigger than ever and, OnePlus claims, better than ever. The selfie camera now pops up when needed. The triple rear camera is more powerful, and the rest of the specs have been further beefed up. 

And yes, the price has gone up as well. 

Launched at an event in New York on Tuesday, the OnePlus 7 Pro follows the company’s strategy of offering premium features at a reasonable price. The starting price, however, has risen to $669, and it’s getting harder to call the OnePlus flagship affordable (the verdict on how premium it is will arrive later today, when our full review of the OnePlus 7 Pro drops). 

The OnePlus 7 Pro certainly doesn’t lack anything when it comes to specs. It’s powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor and can be configured to have up to 256GB of storage and 12GB of RAM. It has a triple, 48/16/8-megapixel camera on the back, and a 4,000mAh battery that charges to nearly 50% in 20 minutes, thanks to OnePlus’ Warp Charge 30 technology. 

OnePlus has put special emphasis on the 7 Pro’s AMOLED screen. Not only is it uninterrupted by notches, but it also has a 516ppi pixel density, a 90Hz refresh rate and HDR10/10+ support, which should make it one of the nicest screens around. 

Other specs of note include Dolby-powered stereo speakers, improved haptic feedback and a liquid cooling system. 

The phone’s design is most easily described as clean: On the front, it’s mostly screen, save for a small chin on the bottom. On the back, everything is positioned in a vertical line: the triple camera, flash, company logo and the OnePlus sign. Edges of the phone are curved on both front and back, giving the phone an elegant look. 

The OnePlus 7 Pro will be available on May 17, in two colors: Mirror Gray and Nebula Blue. It starts at 6GB of RAM and 128GB for storage for $669, but this variant can only be had in gray. For $699, you can get the 8GB/256GB variant in both colors. Finally, for $749, you can get the 12GB/256GB version, but only in blue. 

Alongside the phone, OnePlus also launched a new version of its wireless earphones, Bullet Wireless 2. 

The company claims the new buds have improved sound, and they also support Warp Charge fast charging tech, as well as aptX HD standard for high-quality wireless audio. The price for Bullet Wireless 2 is $99.  

Finally, the company will keep selling the OnePlus 6T alongside the new phone through its website. On May 17, the price for that phone will drop by $30, and it’ll cost $549 for the 8GB/128GB variant, and $599 for the 8GB/256GB variant.
