OnePlus just announced the new OnePlus 7T, a follow-up to the OnePlus 7, which was released in global markets (but not the US) earlier this year, and the OnePlus 6T from last year. The 7T has a lot of the same features as its sibling, the OnePlus 7 Pro , but it's a little smaller and costs less.

90Hz screen is a joy to use; Smaller and less expensive than the OnePlus 7 Pro; Excellent performance; Android 10 out of the box with useful software enhancements

Camera can't quite compete with more expensive phones; A smaller OnePlus phone is still a pretty big phone; Battery life is only average despite large capacity; No wireless charging

The OnePlus 7T is essentially the OnePlus 7 Pro with a few key details changed, just a smidgen. Today we're taking a peek at how well the OnePlus 7T stands up to the OnePlus 7 Pro as well as the rest of the market.

Light yet premium hardware; Vastly better loundspeaker VS 6T; High quality curated custom UI; Significantly improved backside cameras vs 6T; Design identity reboot on-point

Pretty sure the headphone jack is gone for good; No wireless charging; Display notch (for camera) like 6T and 7 (non-pro

At this time of year we see high end flagships announced by Samsung, Apple, and Google with prices for the larger devices starting at $899. OnePlus entered the fray with one of its most affordable phones in the past couple of years with the OnePlus 7T .

Affordable prices for specs; Extremely responsive; Latest Android software; High quality design; fit; and finish; Loud stereo speakers

No dust/water resistance; No wireless charging

The OnePlus 7T sounds like my perfect phone on paper, packing a nice high-end chipset, a bright 1,000 nit 90Hz screen, and the latest Android 10 software. While flagships are pushing the market into fatigue at over a thousand dollars, this phone champions affordability at "just" $600.

Display 90Hz is super smooth; and the screen gets quite bright for easy visibility outside; Super macro camera Being able to focus as close as an inch away won't be useful for most people; but it's very useful for me.

Display again I examined two units; and the screen is much less uniform at lower brightness than the older OnePlus 7 Pro; which is especially unpleasant when using Android 10's dark themes.

Even without an edge-to-edge design, the OnePlus 7T is one of the best Android phones of the year-at any price.

Incredible display with ultra smooth scrolling; A truly excellent camera; Android 10 is ready to go out of the box

No wireless charging; No IP-rated water resistance

The OnePlus 7T succeeds where the OnePlus 7 failed – it isn't just an incremental update, it's a welcome overhaul and a worthy alternative to the 7 Pro. It combines stellar design with an excellent stills and video camera, not to mention a very good-looking 90Hz screen.

Incredibly smooth video; Great stills camera; Stunning 90Hz display

No headphone jack; No wireless charging; No expandable storage

OnePlus' latest does more than any other phone at this price

A versatile; capable camera system; 90Hz screen is wonderfully smooth; Great performance; Super-fast battery charging

Some software glitches; 128GB storage is all you get

OnePlus' latest smartphone reminds me why I love the brand

The camera is really decent; Haptic engine is one of the best I've used; Man is it fast

I would have loved to lose the notch; The camera bump is massive; OnePlus has the worst ambient display options

One of the companies we've been closely tracking since its inception is OnePlus. The brand started off with the OnePlus One, a phone not many people knew about, but one that took the tech world by storm.

It might not have the sharper display of the 7 Pro, but we think the 7T is the best OnePlus phone this year on balance, regardless of cost. The big, flat and skinny-bezeled screen on the front is gorgeous, the battery lasts, the performance is speedy, and the cameras are fun to play with.

Screen is vibrant and responsive; Fast and smooth performance; Fast-charging battery; Cameras offer a lot of versatility

Quite a big phone; No wireless charging; Camera still showing issues at times - particularly in night mode
