●Highlights--
So by far the most important highlight is the amazing 6.67" massive Quad HD Amoled edge to edge display with a stunning 90hz refresh rate. One plus calls this a "Fluid AMOLED" display. It is the world's first AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate. Another highlight worth mentioning is the triple camera setup which one plus has implemented here, there is 48MP main lens, a ultrawide angle lens and a 3x optical zoom lens. On the software side it comes with the new Nightscape 2.0 technology which can take quite impressive low light photos. One plus claims that the ultra-wide angle lens enables you to take photos with upto 50% increased range than the normal lens.
●Overview
•Display
So starting off with the main attraction which is the display, OnePlus 7 pro has a massive OLED display with such minimilistic bezels. The screen curves all the way back into the frame with rounded corners at top and bottom. Talking about the aspect ratio, it has an 19.5:9 aspect ratio which looks tremendously beautiful to be honest as there is no awkwardly placed notch anywhere on the display. The 90hz display just cannot keep you from continuously interacting with it. And it comes with Gorilla glass 5 protection.

•Performance
There's not much of a need to speak about the performance as the hardware and software on paper talks everything. The latest cutting-edge Qualcomm snapdragon 855 7nm chipset combined with OnePlus software i.e OxygenOS running on Android pie speaks for itself. It gives an high end user experience that's constantly fast and smooth, which is gain not new to previous OnePlus users.

•Camera's
This is the first time OnePlus has gone with a triple camera implementation at the rear. The main lens is a 48MP lens with an f1.6 aperture and optical image stabilization which is bound to give you an amazing picture quality. On the other hand there's a 3x Zoom lens which will enable you to get three times optical zoom and capture images without loosing any quality. And last but not the least is the ultra wide angle lens which OnePlus claims can give 50% increased range. These all combined with the software giving smart scene recognition and other AI capabilities makes it a beast in the camera's for smartphone segment. Now again coming to the front camera as we have seen earlier there's no notch or an hole punch out for the front camera so where is the front camera. Well no more suspense OnePlus has finally implemented an motorised pop-up camera mechanism which is well impressive, fast and silent enough that you'll probably won't even notice it coming up. As far as the durability is concerned OnePlus claims that it's been tested to be opened and closed at least 300,000 times which roughly evaluates to 150 times per day for more than 5 year's, I mean if you use front camera that often.
•Built and speakers
The built of the OnePlus 7 pro hasn't changed much from its predecessor. The main difference is with the pop-up camera. The selfie camera is embedded in a motorized system which pops up when you open your camera app. This mechanism has a drop recognition in case it slips through your hand. Another improvement is that it now has a 10 layered liquid cooling system. The most improvement is in the haptic feedback sensor which is very precise and responsive. It has stereo speakers one at top and bottom and they are pretty decent.

•Battery
Due to the 90Hz refresh rate AMOLED display the batter life takes a hit you can lower the refresh rate in the settings but what's the point of getting it when you are not going to use it. It can be useful in certain scenarios and will help in saving you some juice

•Ram and Storage
Even the base variant of the OnePlus 7 pro with 6GB of RAM does not have any issue with RAM management and the 12GB one has more RAM than you will ever need in a real life scenario. It also has the brand new UFS 3.0 flash storage which is a improvement over the previous UFS 2.1 system. The only other phone to launch with this was the Galaxy Fold which has been delayed.This will give a massive improvement in the read/write speeds.

•Pricing and Availability
The OnePlus 7 pro starts in India for Rs 48,999($669) and will be available from 16th may, In this price point it will be competing against Samsung Galaxy S10e, iPhone XR and the Asus ZenFone 6, PocoPhone F2 are yet to come. But for people with tighter budget the vanilla OnePlus 7 which will later be available at just at Rs 32,999 will be a better option.
•Downsides
As for the downsides there, ain't much but depend upon one's perspective. For example a flagship in 2019 but doesn't support wireless charging, that's because the back isn't glass, and therefore it's more shtterproof and adds up to the overall design. Another downside can be that there isn't any IP certification though this doesn't mean that it is not water resistant as OnePlus officially showcased a video in which th phone was dropped in th water and was still found to be working. So apart from these two there aren't any downsides and the device is a solid overall package.
