OnePlus 7 Release on usa

There has been much talk of OnePlus releasing a 5G phone in the first half of 2019, but it is not the OnePlus 7. Successor to the OnePlus 6T, the OnePlus 7 will have the same circa-£500 price tag and launch in Q2, but with some key differences.

Chief among these will be an increase in performance, with the new Snapdragon 855 headlining.OnePlus 7 to take on 2019 flagships from the likes of Samsung and LG at a lower price.
In the OnePlus 6T we saw 6GB RAM and 128GB storage as standard, but options with 8GB and even 10GB of RAM, plus 256GB storage, are available. In the OnePlus 7 we could see 8GB RAM become the standard, while the top-end could go further still to as much as 12GB RAM. (In China we're already hearing rumours of devices with this amount of memory, with the Lenovo Z5 Pro GT expected to be one of the first to launch with this allocation in January.)




We'll again see the 6.41in AMOLED screen with in-display fingerprint sensor, though early concept images suggest the company will move away from the screen notch to which many of its fans are opposed, instead offering a punch-hole cutout for the selfie camera.
This is also what's expected for the Oppo R19, which will launch in March, and with some strong similarities between the two companies and a lot of overlap between previous launches we wouldn't be surprised to see a similar design. Below is an image of the R19 leaked via Weibo.

When is the OnePlus 7 coming out?

OnePlus typically launches two flagship phones per year, with the most recent OnePlus 6T announced in late October 2018 and on sale in early November.

Prior to this the OnePlus 6 was announced on 16 May 2018, following the announcement of the OnePlus 5 on 20 June 2017, so May/June 2019 is a likely timeframe for the OnePlus 7 to make its appearance.

Though the company has confirmed that the upcoming 5G phone will not be the OnePlus 7, it has also said it will launch before the end of May 2019, so it's possible that the two will share a launch event, or that the 5G phone will be a special edition of the OnePlus 7 with a different name.

How much will the OnePlus 7 cost?

Value is a key USP of OnePlus' flagship smartphone line, and though we've come a long way from the £219 OnePlus One we don't think OnePlus is ready to break the £500 barrier just yet.
