Keeping up with the tradition, OnePlus has launched the mid-year update for its flagship phone. The new device, dubbed OnePlus 7T Pro, is pretty much the same package that debuted earlier this year but brings some notable changes, including a faster processor. Also, there is a fancy new "McLaren Edition" of the device. Let's take a look at everything.
Hardware
Same display, design, cameras of OnePlus 7 Pro
Unlike OnePlus 7T, which debuted last month with a rounded camera array, the new OnePlus 7T Pro is pretty much identical to its '7 Pro' predecessor. It features an aluminum frame that sports a 6.67-inch 90Hz display with 1440x3120 resolution, elongated camera module packing three rear cameras [48MP+8MP+16MP] and a 16MP selfie camera that pops up from the top.

Then, there is a slightly bigger 4,085mAh battery and a new "30T" WARP Charge adapter that is said to be 23% faster than that of 7 Pro.
