Another leak. Love this sentence at the end ...

OnePlus will unveil its new flagship smartphone series on Tuesday May 14, 2019. If you didn't manage to snag a ticket to the sold-out event, don't worry. T3 will be in the crowd and will bring you everything you need to know.

I mean why bother going? They have already told us a lot

Not sure how I feel about the pop up camera this has (along with some other phones).
Wonder how long the motor on that is supposed to last, and what sort of real world testing they did on it?

The pop-up camera is a definite no-no for me.

And it looks like EE in the UK will be offering the OnePlus 7 phones too - even better news for some:

Interesting to see if that makes O2's offers on the handset any more competitive...

Seriously?

Looks an interesting phone all in all but I'm not rushing out to buy it on EE or O2. More than happy with my Galaxy S10+. I'll stick to Samsung, thanks. The features on my phone are more than enough for me.

A pop up camera, hmmm.......not sure I'd go for that, though it does get rid of the hated notch and 'black patch', which I detest on the S10+. The only fearure I hope Samsung drop completely from their next phones. It drives me mad in my games where I can't see, but have to guess, what coins I have. And as someone who takes few, if any, photos and is definitely not into selfies, a useless 'innovation' if that's the right word!

And @jonsie is so right to laugh at, even the thought, of O2 suddenly becoming competitive where the One Plus 7 is concerned. More likely to be more expensive, I'd say, per usual

I am not keen on the pop-up selfie camera either, @Glory1.

And yeah, @jonsie's raspberry on pricing is probably very justified, I don't know what I was thinking.

We forgive your moment of abject optimism....

The price alone makes it a no go. And this is from someone who was a champion of OP's from the the beginning. ( My OP3 one of the few phones bought new I have made a profit on )

BUT, it does give those who genuinely don't have a regular use for a front camera a full screen option.

jonsie — Sat, 11 May 2019 13:28:25 GMT

I get what you mean about the price . I just can't afford a new phone at these short of price so I'll just carry on with the phone I hav . It does all I need and does a lot I have never needed albeit a little slower than the top end Smartphones

Yes, @BOSSGOGG I see what you mean, and is it worth a price like the S10 Plus, for example, simply to avoid the notch for those of us who hate it. I'd say no. But then O2 business were offering double data on 25gb and 50gb for the price of 25/50gb when I bought my S10 Plus. Now the largest data Business is offering is 60gb for near what I'm paying for 100gb. So I chose well. And who knows what data package O2 will offer consumers let alone those of us on a business contract for the OP 7 Pro.

No, as said above I'll stick with my S10 Plus, it does everything I want it to do and that's enough for me.

As I've said elsewhere on the forum, I use my phone like the rest of you use your desk/laptops so I go for high end phones, preferably Samsung, as they can take what I put them through for 2 years.

I know little about the OPs but tend to stick with Samsung that I do know, which has served me well these 61/2 years I've been contract rather than a PAYG customer.

I would love one of these but the price would be eye watering.

I might get one to try. Just sold my MateX , so have a space in the fleet 😄

As always, compare everything to the benchmark note 9 and pretty much everything so far has fallen short.
