First impressions

New year, new round of flagships. Last year started with OnePlus 6T and it lasted for good 2 weeks. This year is the same for me.

* glass back looks matte, almost though it's plastic. Camera design is very attractive unlike iphone/samsung rectangles

* it's too heavy, can't imagine difficulty holding Mi10 or 1+7Pro

* it lacks SD, jack, QC, Qi, IP and notification diod. Lacking wireless charging is very painful as the luxury of placing mobile on magnetic Qi holder is priceless. Ambient display shows notification briefly which is great and better than AOD icons, but no AOD + no LED lights means you don't know what's up most of the time including charge status and low battery

* again nice hardware volume switch every phone should have

* display is bigger, higher frequency helps some animation blur

* night mode, reading mode, dimming mode and night theme is provided

* very fast charging but i still hate Warp as it's not compatible with myriad of chargers

* fingerprint is excellent and super fast, but you need to tap screen first

* faceunlock is also super fast but doesn't work in night unless you want to be attacked by display light

* nice classic local backup feature is gone

* fenomenal OnePlus-original hide notch feature is gone, only fake hide notch which cuts the screen is available

* animations are inconveniet for eyes, for example when switching apps the app will blink each time

* hint popups on the bottom of the screen are hard to spot, fast timeout and small size

* fenomenal Pie navigation is gone, instead xiaomi mi9 like crippled gestures are there, you no longer can scroll apps while holding pill.

* overall phone speed is incredible

3 days later

* app switching really sucks, QuickSwitch plugin doesn't work, and Nova is launched app switching is gone

* rooting is very annoying, but udating ROM is probably the easiest of all phones (just the OTA availability is great)

* this is perhaps Android Q, but i appreciate two finger up swipe gesture for magnification. This solves the longterm problem of having full screen navigation while missing zoom. Normally there are two modes in Accessibility settings: triple tap screen which delays the whole UI or navbar icon which obviously doesnt appear with full screen navigation

* i love OnePlus-original screen off gestures as before.. it's genius. Less i need hold fingerprint shortcut menu.
[OnePlus 7T Real Life Review] doggydog2:
Three things to hate:

* minimal brightness always lower than it should be. Very annoying. Also dark mode would make screen readable even less update: solution: turn off any night mode stuff..makes phone unreadable

* cannot hold keys on the left and right boundary of the keyboard without massive delay (so there are many typos when long-pressing keys like "1", "q", "p")

* no wireless charging and a Qi pad doesn't work (works on other phones). This brand really insists people don't use the best technology in mobile phones - Qi update: also got another most capable multiformat charger, still won't charge above 8W (3hours).. commitment: i won't be buying any brand-specific chargers ever

Luckily battery is so great that charging is a rare event as documented in battery threads

Battery could have been better atleast 4000 mAh
[OnePlus 7T Real Life Review] artberg30:
I’ve been reading OnePlus forums all day and I’m more and more confident that I made a great choice. The second phone I have is Huawei, but he is not standing next to it))
[OnePlus 7T Real Life Review] Droid_Nut:
I love mine, got it a week ago, and this phone is like lightning, I love the Oxygen OS, Dual sim, lots of HP and storage. Best phone I have ever owned. :good:
[OnePlus 7T Real Life Review] igotlostintampa:
Meh, honestly I think based on what I keep hearing this may be an unpopular opinion but.... one plus devices to me have always been great due to their freedom. If you run into some problem then plop on a rom and fix it or some root app.

Unfortunately due to there not being much active development due to the temporary death of twrp, I’ve been running into a bunch of stability issues I can’t fix. I’m not sure if it’s just my phone or if people are blind due to the lower cost of the device. I’ve run into random freezes, keyboard lag, Bluetooth will sometimes just switch audio to phone speaker and won’t go back even if I’m still connected till I restart Bluetooth, the prox sensor is doing such a poor job at keeping the screen locked while I’m in a call that it’s really just comical now...I’ve ended a call to find myself looking at a screenshot my face took of the home screen and been fooled for a few seconds, or having the call ended because I’ve activated my flashlight and airplane mode...

I came from an Xs max to this phone and had a pixel before that. I’m not os brand loyal. If this phone didn’t need rebooted daily (cause I just don’t have time to fiddle around and find the issue, I have work and rebooting usually fixes whatever bug pops up) and could just hold onto its stability (I have no social media so I’m talking basic functionality here and some telegram usage) this phone has all the hardware markings of an awesome e phone.

It just falls short in knowing that we used to just plop on a hyper stable rom nd call it a day.... and now I’m just stuck.

If i wasn’t currently convinced this was just my phone, I’d give this phone a 2 but I’ll give it a 3 out of respect for OnePlus. I loved my last OnePlus device and used to not even be able to switch roms because oos was just that good.... now I’m going to Samsung of all things and holding onto this phone in hopes of a proper functioning twrp in the future, and that devs are still around when it does
[OnePlus 7T Real Life Review] Guatiao:
As for the proximity sensor, the 7T uses a different type of sensor, and maybe it's settings/calibration need to be adjusted in some future ROM update.

https://www.ellipticlabs.com/2019/09/26/new-oneplus-7t-phone-uses-elliptic-labs-ai-virtual-sensor/
[OnePlus 7T Real Life Review] igotlostintampa:
Ah! It’s guessing, should have thought it was something like that. Instead of using a sensor it’s trying to determine via software alone which at best is an educated guess, and fake a sensor report based on its guesses.

This does mean at least it’s not a hardware fault! If they do a good enough job and don’t drop the tech it could be cool stuff. Just doesn’t feel that stable in this phone yet.

Still cool tech
[OnePlus 7T Real Life Review] Guatiao:
Indeed! I've experienced it also, having a second call placed while holding my phone with the shoulder. I believe a bit of software tweaking could fix the issue. I don't know if non official ROMs or beta versions of the stock one still suffer from this.

Battery drain after latest udate on 1+7t

hello i am based in india using ONEPLUS 7T purchased on mid may hardly 3 months old updated to OXYGEN OS 10.3.3 HD65AA version since then experinencing 20-25% battery drain in one hour where as previously Battery Consuption per Hour was around 3-5% Per Hour on normal usage

upto that on updating Onplus Forum its not accepting my post on site and dosent reply to tweets even
[OnePlus 7T Real Life Review] nunook:
So far I'm loving the 7T. My only complaints are the missing AOA2, which I think is more googles fault. And image stabilization on the zoom camera
[OnePlus 7T Real Life Review] ventra4:
hello there!

I have been using Oneplus since their One!

Was holding onto the 6 because of the 3.5mm jack and flat screen (I like glass screen protector so will never buy those curve-edged ones)

Recently bought the 7T since it will has the flat screen and of course, 90Hz refresh rate.

While I love the 7T in almost all aspects, just one thing, quite critical, annoys me

The vibration, I have been missing a lot of msgs and calls since switching to 7T

tried that I can bare feel the 7T vibrating in my pocket but didn't have this issue on the 6

Have read some posts on OP's forum claiming the same thing

May I know if any of you have tried the beta rom and noticed any improvement in this area?

I'm on the brink of selling it but once I've tried the 90Hz mon, its difficult to go back to 60Hz....

Thanks in advance.
[OnePlus 7T Real Life Review] finbaar:
I picked up a OP7T recently and thought I would share my thoughts. I've had a lot of phones over the last 10 years including the OPO & OP2. I did buy a OP7 as a test device as well.

I have my OP7T fully set up now with my sim card in and it's a decent fast device. A couple of stand outs for me are the speakers and the fact that the audio out through the USB C port does not need an external DAC. (this means that all my adapters work!).

Things I don't like are the battery life - my main phone is a Huawei P30 Pro and that has superb battery life. The OP7T can't compete with that but I haven't ran out in a day - YET. And the flat screen, give me curved edges any day.

One thing I won't complain about is the use of the Android desktop mode. This is vitally important to me and I have no interest with phones that can't do this. The OP7 with a NexDock 2 worked well. The NexDock Touch which I currently own adds a world of pain - but that's not OPs fault. I have a functioning system now though so I am happy.

Oh, 60Hz refresh rate all the way for me. I can't see any difference - if you can, that's great. This was the same when I had the OG Razer phone.

It's pretty fast in everyday task handling but then again everything with a SD845 and up is gonna be fast for everyday tasks
[OnePlus 7T Real Life Review] ineser:
With 90Hz and UFS 3.0, lagness is no more. So far happy with it!
[OnePlus 7T Real Life Review] OuncE718:
This is hands down the fastest phone I ever had. Then again my last phone was a Galaxy S8
[OnePlus 7T Real Life Review] Edward Liu:
This is probably the fastest phone ever;)

Compared with Xiaomi mix 2s, One plus 7t has a huge advantage.
[OnePlus 7T Real Life Review] ohno7158:
Very fast. Blazing fast.
[OnePlus 7T Real Life Review] Ionakr:
It's just too fast. after a week i tried xiaomi MI9t pro and it looks so slow and choppy. I'm in love with this phone and 90hz
[OnePlus 7T Real Life Review] droopie69:
It's been super fast, until yesterday. It's been at least a week since reboot. I had been driving with Waze, Pandora, and even Youtube open. Stopped to get gas, and use Fuelly. Got super laggy. Restarted while pumping gas. Back to being super fast instantly! Probably will restart once a week just to keep it fresh!
[OnePlus 7T Real Life Review] wtfgoogle:
same
[OnePlus 7T Real Life Review] GeekOnTheHill:
Fastest phone I've owned, especially with unneeded apps uninstalled or disabled. It's so fast I'm afraid I might hurt myself.
[OnePlus 7T Real Life Review] OverThrust:
It's extremely fast in day to day use. Fastest phone I've ever used. Lg g6 was my last flagship and only point if reference.

[OnePlus 7T Real Life Review] GeekOnTheHill:
Pretty much instantaneous. Even mapping and navigation apps with offline map files load and are ready to use in less than a second. No complaints in that area.
[OnePlus 7T Real Life Review] OverThrust:
I concur apps are loaded nearly instantaneously even when not in the background.

I have to ask if you don't have mind, and this is maybe good place for it... if not, please correct me.

I don't have any experience with "Ram booster"... And I didn't find many explanations by searching. So I ask you here. How it work and is there any benefit (except) gaming (and I don't use mobile for gaiming) in real life?

I can't recall is it On or Off by default?

And last but not least, how it's effect battery life?

Thank you.

[OnePlus 7T Real Life Review] GeekOnTheHill:
I reduced the refresh rate to 60 Hz to save some battery life to compensate for some other battery-hogging tweaks, and honestly, I can't tell the difference in my own use. It's still plenty crisp and smooth.

That being said, I'm not a gamer, and I don't watch videos on the phone save for the occasional YouTube video that someone will send me a link to; so don't take my experience as necessarily being typical. For the way I use the phone, it's nice and smooth even at 60 Hz. YMMV.
[OnePlus 7T Real Life Review] OverThrust:
This phone is smooth when scrolling. It's the smoothest scrolling phone I've ever experienced.
[OnePlus 7T Real Life Review] YekatBurger:
I have terrible smoothness. Everything laging when scrolling. 5t when bought was working much more smoothly. If the update does not improve the situation, I will sell the phone and forget about Oneplus
[OnePlus 7T Real Life Review] YekatBurger:
Could you attach video with scrolling of play market or google chrome ?
[OnePlus 7T Real Life Review] GeekOnTheHill:
These are at 60Hz. I needed to offset some other battery-hogging tweaks I made, so I turned the refresh rate down.

[OnePlus 7T Real Life Review] YekatBurger:
And is it called smoothly? :))

The jerks are perfectly visible on the video
[OnePlus 7T Real Life Review] GeekOnTheHill:
I think that has more to do with YouTube's resizing and transcoding than anything else. Playing the videos directly on my computer, they look much better; and looking directly at the screen rather than at a recording, I don't notice any jerkiness to speak of.

Maybe my eyes are just older.
[OnePlus 7T Real Life Review] holi1:
Agree with you:)
[OnePlus 7T Real Life Review] e34v8:
My unit:

@60 - jagged scrolling, not good at all.

@90 - ultra smooth, it's like a different device.

for real? I didn't know the heat still there after SD835...
[OnePlus 7T Real Life Review] вυииуＪ丹匚Ｋ乙モ匕匕:
I play CODM for 3-4hrs straight sometimes and on this phone as well now I have one.

It gets warm to the touch, nice to warm your fingers in the cold type of warm, not like burning hot.
[OnePlus 7T Real Life Review] ineser:
Gets a bit warm after an hour but still bearable while gaming.
[OnePlus 7T Real Life Review] atlanticUser:
The phone over heats within 45 minutes while running Strava. This is while the phone is charging (5V 3A, not warp), 100% brightness, Wifi, GPS, Data, and BT on.
[OnePlus 7T Real Life Review] OuncE718:
I played COD on it for about an hour and it never overheated. If anything it was slightly warm. [emoji123][emoji123][emoji123]
[OnePlus 7T Real Life Review] bboyjunio:
Hi guys, so I just bought this phone 2 days ago and last night I installed the auto-chess dota2 game (Underlords). It was already set to max graphics and the fps unlimited (de screen was set to 90Hz and brightness to 60%). After idk 10-15 minutes the phone was already pretty hot under the camera and around the volume buttons, I don't have anything to measure the temperature but it wasn't so pleasant to touch in that zone.

After that, I let it down for 30 minutes then install pubg set on high and start playing while the phone was charging and overall this time was good, just slightly warm but I don't understand why on Underlords would go so high. Can anyone test this?

Edit:

Regarding this problem, after some research on it, I found that many high-end phones have problems with this game. Underlords it's a mess and bad optimized... so I'll blame the game and not the phone or system.
[OnePlus 7T Real Life Review] ohno7158:
Never had heating up problems with phone. Way cooler than my old Moto z3 play.
[OnePlus 7T Real Life Review] Deleted member 4624127:
No problems with heating whatsoever, even while warp charging
[OnePlus 7T Real Life Review] soman.exe:
I'm experiencing this issue of heat , it started when I tested my phone on a benchmark app and my device heated more than usual but from that day after it heats everytime I play PUBG or sometimes even watching Netflix.

Phone heats quickly if you use brightness at 100% and camera to click or for video.

you would have an iron in your hand

Probably before january update. Current 10.0.9 is also fine.
[OnePlus 7T Real Life Review] shaunakdsilva:
Guys the problem with heating is real. I can vouch that I did not have heating issues earlier when I had just go my phone but now it heats for any reason and guaranteed to heat during charging. For the record I dont have a single game on my phone and I rarely use my camera app. Also I did not experience heating while I was on custom ROM (MSM-Xtended). This proves that a certain update of OxygenOS was not optimised for temperature control and I want to find out from which version it started so any input is appreciated.

---------- Post added at 01:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:18 PM ----------

10.0.9 aka 10.3.2 in India is the worst wrt heating at least for me. Are you always in AC environment?
[OnePlus 7T Real Life Review] zax880:
On 10.0.8 was everything ok, but on 10.0.9 i have heating issue.

[OnePlus 7T Real Life Review] bhavstech:
Heat depends on 2-3 factors:

- OS optimisation (Major cause of battery and heating issues)

- The type of usage, if you face heating in basic tasks its either the above or below point

- If you have an Exynos or Snapdragon 810

Other things that matter:

The body of the phone, glass retains heat, if you use it in the sun the phone will be much hotter than it is supposed to

For charging methods like 30W warp, heat while chargin is pretty normal

What temperature does it goes to?
[Wing, P4350 General] Toxis:
So I have OT 3.0 biggy with Battery status. Just today, I keep getting this message.

"BatteryStatus Today-Plugin

This is a shareware and you can use it 'as it is' and as long as you want!

Thank you for using Battery Status Advanced!"

Seriously, this has popped up at least a dozen times today. Every time I turn it on, there it is. I just have to click the OK in the corner but it's still a PITA. Anyone know why this is or how to get rid of it?

Thanks. I searched this forum and got two other threads in Herald but they were 160 posts and 230. So I did a search for the entire forum and it pulled a TON of threads but I couldn't find any that talked about that. It just searched for the three words independently. So if anyone could help, I'd appreciate it.
