The past couple of generations of OnePlus devices have been a mixed bag for me. The OnePlus 6 was great, but didn’t work on my preferred carrier. The OnePlus 6T fixed that, but introduced an awful fingerprint sensor. Now, after several weeks using the OnePlus 7 Pro, I can say that I truly love a device from this company. Here’s why.
The OnePlus 7 Pro is a stellar smartphone by most measurements, but even more so when you consider its price point. This week, OnePlus has cut the price of the 7 Pro in Canada by $100 to make it more competitive.
It turns out that some OnePlus 7 Pro owners reported a series of random notifications on their handsets earlier today. No, there is no need to worry, your OnePlus 7 Pro is not hacked or under attack. OnePlus has since put out a statement to confirm that this was a test and the notifications appeared on phones by accident.
Updates to OxygenOS on the OnePlus 7 Pro continue to enhance what is already a great smartphone, and version 9.5.8 is starting up its rollout today. Here’s everything the latest update fixes.
To be able to try some of the greatest augmented reality experiences available today—like dancing with Childish Gambino or placing a great white shark in your room—you’ll need a device compatible with Google’s ARCore.

The OnePlus 7 Pro is a fantastic device that deserves a ton of praise but right out of the box it lacks a few things here and there — including some key accessories.

One area that saw massive improvements on the OnePlus 7 Pro was the camera and it’s associated hardware. Even with that said, there have been plenty of complaints about the overall camera performance not quite being up to scratch. OnePlus has pushed the OxygenOS 9.5.7 OTA specifically to address the camera performance, with supposed big improvements across the board.
The biggest selling point of the OnePlus 7 Pro is its stunning 90Hz, bezel-less display. However, some users have had screen problems with the OnePlus 7 Pro, and now the company has confirmed it will be fixing those issues in a future update.

We’ve had a substantial amount of time now with the OnePlus 7 Pro to formulate a review and gather our thoughts on the flagship killer-come-flagship.
The biggest selling point of the latest device from OnePlus is without a doubt its impressive 90Hz display. However, as users have gotten their hands on the OnePlus 7 Pro, some are reporting a “ghost touch” issue that causes random taps on parts of the display.
Although the OnePlus 7 Pro has had a major overhaul in the camera department, some users have complained that the 7 Pro’s cameras are not quite what they were hoping for — even after a day one OTA update to fix camera issues.
The OnePlus 7 Pro is many things. A great overall package is one way to describe it. but one area that we’ve seen previous OnePlus devices really struggle in the past is in camera performance. So, has the OnePlus 7 Pro addressed this?

Back at Google I/O 2019, it was confirmed that the OnePlus 7 series would pick up support for the Android Q Beta program. Now, OnePlus has released the first Android Q beta version for both the OnePlus 7 and the OnePlus 7 Pro.
OnePlus was one of the few holdouts when it came to the headphone jack last year, but the OnePlus 6T finally ditched it. Now, as the OnePlus 7 and 7 Pro both still lack the legacy port, OnePlus is jacking up the price of its official headphone adapter, and not even giving one to users.
Since the company’s first phone hit the market, OnePlus has been telling its customers to “Never Settle”. But while their phones do pack beefy specs for minimal prices, every single one of OnePlus’ devices have indeed “settled” in one way or another. Now, even with the company’s most expensive “ultra-premium” OnePlus 7 Pro, we’re still settling, even if we’re getting a great deal.
OnePlus is a company that’s always made headlines for its powerful devices sold at low price points. In the Asian region, though, it seems the company wants to add another tactic. The latest brand ambassador for OnePlus is Robert Downey Jr., fresh off his appearance in Marvel’s record-breaking “Avengers: Endgame.”
Alongside the debut of the OnePlus 7 Pro, a new version of the OnePlus Camera app has also become available. In OnePlus Camera v3.2, users get deeper Google Lens integration, new settings, and also the ability to give a custom order for the various camera modes.
