OnePlus 7T Pro is just OnePlus 7 Pro trying to make you think otherwise

Often in movies, I’ve seen twins play a classic prank where they try to confuse others about their identity. OnePlus has almost pulled off that same joke with its OnePlus 7T Pro that launched today.

When the company launched the OnePlus 7T last month, a lot of people asked, “Why there’s no pro version?” After this launch, they might ask, “Why is there is a pro version?”

I can redirect you to our OnePlus 7 Pro article and save myself a lot of work, because honestly, I don’t have much to say. The only thing that has changed is the processor, and it’s a very minor bump from Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 to 855+.

Take a look at specs of the phone, compare it with the 7 Pro’s spec sheet and play ‘spot the difference.’

The company has changed the color of the phone slightly to a darker shade of blue and changed the position of the depth sensor to the left of the camera module. Then there’s the McLaren Edition, which basically bumps up the RAM to 12 GB and gives you a black design with orange highlights.
