So what's different since last time? OnePlus has upgraded the chip to a Snapdragon 855, added zippy UFS 3.0 storage (something that's only been seen in Samsung's 900-dollar devices), as well as an improved in-screen fingerprint reader that works at a decent clip, improved HDR photography and a RAM boost -- if you pay for it.

OnePlus has added dual-speaker Dolby Atmos sound to the device, if you're the kind of person that watches things on a phone without headphones. (I am definitely not shaking my head right now.) Camera-wise, the OP7 has a dual-lens setup, combining an upgraded 48-megapixel sensor, with optical image stabilization, along with a 5-megapixel camera.

Even without US pricing, the device does come in at a higher price than the OnePlus 6T earlier this year and in spite of that, it sounds just a little too... unremarkable. That's probably because the company has put most of the eye-watering specs into its new OnePlus 7 Pro.
