OnePlus 7T to launch on 26 September
OnePlus has announced that its OnePlus 7T Series of phones will launch on 26 September at events in India and North America. To confuse things, a third European OnePlus 7T Series launch event is alsoscheduled for 10 October.
The official announcement image doesn’t mention a 7T Pro, but mentions the 90Hz display of the original 7 Pro. The wording of a ‘OnePlus 7T Reveal’ and another ‘OnePlus 7T Series Launch’ means we will likely be getting both updates here – a OnePlus 7T and a OnePlus 7T Pro.
Unless the regular 7T is getting the smooth 90Hz display, a differentiating feature of the current Pro version, we’re not sure what OnePlus can really do to update these phones. Wereportedthat the 7T Pro could get a small processor upgrade to the Snapdragon 855 Plus but aside from that the original 7 Pro is so good that it’s unclear what the company can offer in a T model.
OnePlus added a new processor, took away bezels and reduced the notch in some of its other T model upgrades but now that it produces two phones with different specs, it is becoming harder to upgrade them so regularly. There might be a McLaren Edition 7T Pro to shake things up, but we’ll have to wait till 26 September – and potentially again until 10 October – to find out exactly what OnePlus has planned for its six month update to the 7 Series.
London OnePlus fans can buy tickets to the launch fromOnePlus’ websiteon 20 September.
