OnePlus 7 Pro: What You Didn't Know!

The video provides a detailed follow-up on the OnePlus 7 Pro, highlighting tidbits and clarifications that surfaced after the initial review. It begins by outlining the device’s water resistance approach, noting that while OnePlus does not officially certify IP, the phone withstands splashes and submersion in tests as demonstrated by Dave2D and internal checks. The host discusses RAM configurations, explaining real-world usage ranges and recommending upgrades to 8GB for future-proofing, with a note on the RAM Boost feature that preloads apps into memory. Additional notes cover camera options, including the stock camera app’s customization options, edge distortion reduction with ultra wide correction, and the inability to record video from the ultra-wide camera, which OnePlus does not plan to support yet. The video then dives into the retracting selfie camera mechanism, explaining its half-second travel time and safety response during freefall, followed by a discussion of OxygenOS features such as accent color customization, top bar customization, and gesture-enabled notifications on a large display. Finally, the host revisits the display’s refresh rate behavior, clarifying that while the panel is officially described as 90Hz, it operates with a variable refresh rate and throttles to 60Hz in certain scenarios like video playback, calls, and camera use, and touches on battery life expectations under these conditions. The closing remarks compare the OnePlus 7 Pro’s value to potential successors, including a hypothetical US availability of the OnePlus 7 and reiterate where the 7 Pro stands in terms of pricing and feature set, inviting viewers to share their thoughts and upcoming gadget coverage.
