One of the most anticipated smartphones of the year, the OnePlus 7, is finally here with a Snapdragon 855 SoC and a 48MP primary camera on the rear.

While OnePlus is trying to beat other competitors on interesting features with the OnePlus 7 Pro, it launches the OnePlus 7 for those who want a phone that offers high value for the money.

Users can choose to buy the OnePlus 7 in two color variants, Nebula Blue, Mirror Gray, and Almond color variants. The price of the OnePlus 7 is set to be Rs. 32,000 for the base variant with 6GB RAM + 128GB storage. The top-end option with 8GB RAM / 256GB storage will be a bit more expensive, Rs. 37,000.

The variant with 6GB of RAM will be only offered in Mirror Grey color option, while the variant with 8GB of RAM will come in both Red and Mirror Grey color options.

OnePlus 7: Specifications & Features

The handset sports a 6.41-inch Optic AMOLED panel with FHD+ resolution and a water-drop notch on top. Similar to the Pro version, this standard model still comes with an on-screen fingerprint scanner.

And it goes the same for the chipset as both versions are powered by the powerful Snapdragon 855 SoC. The processor is paired with 6GB or 8GB RAM along with 128GB or 256GB of internal storage which is based on the better UFS 3.0 standard that is claimed to offer high performance.

On the front, there is a 16MP selfie camera with f/2.0 aperture housed on the water-drop notch. The selfie camera can record video @1080p resolution with EIS while the main cameras can record 4K videos @60fps or 720p/480fps and 1080p/240fps.

Similar to the Pro model, it is also equipped with stereo speakers that are tuned by Dolby. Finally, the OnePlus 7 is fueled by a 3,700 mAh battery with 20W fast charging support which is the same as the last year's OnePlus 6T.
