At the end of September, the Asian company OnePlus officially presented the OnePlus 7T, the evolution of the OnePlus 7, a terminal that reached the market about 6 months ago and where we can count the news on the fingers of one hand and we still have fingers left. To see the renewal of the OnePlus 7 Pro, hWe have had to wait until now.
A few hours ago, the company presented at an event, the second generation of the OnePlus 7 Pro, a terminal that especially draws attention for its design, a design where like its predecessor, everything is front and the camera is located at the top of the device and appears and disappears when we open the camera application.
This year, the chipmaker Qualcomm, has launched for the first time a second version of its flagship processor for this year, the 855, a processor that is available on the latest smartphone models that have been introduced. The new OnePlus 7T and 7T Pro have taken advantage of this renewal to be one more incentive when it comes to renewing the device if we come from the versions that were launched 6 months ago, although the difference is not abysmal by no means.
Another change that we find in the OnePlus 7T Pro is that We only have at our disposal a version with 8 GB of RAM, instead of 3 versions with different RAM capacities (6, 8 and 12 GB). Another difference, we also find it in the storage, a storage that is available in 256 GB UFS 3.0, in only version. The OnePlus 7 Pro was available in versions of 128 and 256 GB of storage also UFS 3.0.
In the photographic section, we see how the Asian company has bet the same set of lenses again, a set of lenses that allows us to record videos at 960 fps as the main attraction, in addition to allowing us to record videos in 4k. The camera set consists of a 48 mpx main lens manufactured by Sony, an 8 mpx telephoto lens and a 16 mpx wide-angle lens with a 117º angle of view.
The screen of the new generation of OnePlus 7 Pro It is exactly the same that we could find in the previous generation, a 6,7-inch AMOLED-type screen, with a resolution of 3.120 × 1.440 and a refresh rate of 90 Hz, one of the strengths of this terminal.

If you want changes, the McLaren edition is the one you are looking for
OnePlus has presented a McLaren edition, an edition that differs from the normal version, not only in design, but also in the specifications that this terminal offers us, since unlike the Pro version to dry, the McLaren edition is accompanied by 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.
The body of this model is made of carbon fiber and shows us the pending notifications to be read through a striking lighting that is shown on the edges of the screen. The rest of the specifications of this version are exactly the same. To be able to get this model, we have to pay 859 euros, 100 euros more than the version with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage.
Renewal every 6 months
Once again it is confirmed that OnePlus follow a different path from other manufacturers and that in the end it can cost you dearly, not only because the model of launching a new terminal every 6 months (something that Sony did and that is how it has been) can tire users who trust this manufacturer (after 6 months the mobile has already been renewed) but because in most cases, as in this case without going any further, the differences between the old and new generation are practically negligible.
This year, OnePlus has chosen to launch two different versions of the OnePlus 7T Pro, one with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage for 759 euros and another, the McLaren edition with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage for 859 euros, thus reducing the options that were previously available to users. If it is a model that will continue in the future, everything will depend on sales.
OnePlus offers us a renewal plan for incentivize the purchase of new versions of OnePlus, allowing us to renew our old device up to the OnePlus 6T or the Xiaomi, Samsung, Sony, Apple, Huawei and Nokia brands. This renove program does not usually value the terminals well, so unless we are in a hurry to get rid of our smartphone, it is always advisable to sell it second-hand.
OnePlus 7T Pro release date
The OnePlus 7T Pro will hit the market on October 17, just like OnePlus 7T. We will be able to buy it directly on the OnePlus website as well as on Amazon.
