As you may have seen, the main sections where the OnePlus 7T shows muscle compared to the previous model, we see it in the multimedia section, processor and especially in the photographic section. Regarding the screen, we find an improvement by expanding the dimensions to 6.55 inches, to offer a slightly larger solution. And beware, the new model has a refresh rate of 90Hz, a great detail to take into account.
More differences between the OnePlus 7T and the OnePlus 7
While it is true that the RAM and internal storage options are the same, the OnePlus 7T has a great advantage over its predecessor: we are talking about the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855+ processor, a more vitamin version than the previous model and that it offers better performance when enjoying video games, in addition to greater energy efficiency, so it is expected that the battery of the terminal will be slightly better.
Since we are talking about the battery, to say that the OnePlus 7T has 100 mAh more. This difference should not affect its autonomy, especially if one takes into account that its screen is slightly larger. But, considering that the Snapdragon 855+ processor optimizes the use of resources better, we can expect an improvement in this regard.
Although, where we will find a notable difference, it is in the photographic section. Remember that the OnePlus 7t camera is made up of a triple lens system with a 48 megapixel sensor and 1.6 focal aperture, along with a 16 megapixel and 117 degree wide angle, in addition to a 12 megapixel telephoto lens and 2.2 focal aperture for get a real 2X zoom. And no, the dual camera of the OnePlus 7 will not be able to cope with it.
We will have to wait for the official price in Spain of the OnePlus 7T, but it aims to be a fairly comprehensive overhaul of its predecessor.
