It has been half a year since the release of One Plus 7 Pro. The author has always liked this phone for the past half a year, especially the 2K 90Hz screen, plus the X-axis vibration motor and dual speakers, which really makes me love it. It is also the phone that the author has used most frequently in the past half a year. Now the One Plus 7T Pro McLaren has also come into the market. The author has also replaced the main machine with One Plus 7T Pro McLaren. In combination with the One Plus 7 Pro every year, let's talk about the experience of using the One Plus 7T Pro McLaren version.
Similar configurations
First of all, there is no substantial difference in hardware between the 1-Plus 7T Pro and the 1-Plus 7 Pro half a year ago. What can be said is that the processor has been upgraded from Snapdragon 855 to Snapdragon 855+, and the upgrade of Snapdragon 855+is that the core frequency has been upgraded from 2.84GHz to 2.84GHz 2.96GHz ， The frequency of GPU is also increased from 585MHz to 675MHz The rest have not changed. Qualcomm X24 network regulator is still used, and there is no external X50 baseband. Therefore, 5G has not been updated in the whole series of 1-plus 7T, at least in China.
Overall, the upper performance limit has been improved, but because only the frequency has been increased, there has been no change in other aspects, so there has been no improvement in energy consumption ratio. Improved performance, power consumption and heat generation.
Flash memory is still dual channel UFS3.0, and ext4 file system is still used. Therefore, it is impossible to distinguish the two mobile phones by performance. In fact, the author did not feel the change of fluency when changing from one plus 7 Pro to one plus 7T Pro. It is still a flowing animation. The very smooth system does not reflect the performance bonus brought by 855 to 855 Plus.
Appearance slightly changed
The 7T Pro has only two colors, one is blue, the other is McLaren. Only the top 12GB+256GB is McLaren, and the 8GB+256GB is blue. Only the above two configurations are available. The blue of the 7T Pro is slightly different from the blue of the 7 Pro, The 7 Pro's blue is more profound, while the 7T Pro's blue is lighter, even a bit green. Moreover, the 7T Pro moves the aurora focus module in the camera module to the left of the camera, which is more abrupt. Personally, I prefer the 7 Pro's color, which is more calm and restrained. But there is no big difference in the hand feeling between the two. Both are very comfortable frosted glass.
McLaren redesigned a set of skin under the condition that the layout was completely unchanged. The back cover changed from a blue version of gradual frosted glass to a mirror glass of "McLaren color". The overall design idea of this "McLaren color" is similar to last year's one plus 6T McLaren. Black is the background color, orange is the bright color, and there is a faint oil stain texture in the middle, The laser module is also well hidden because of the black background, and the "OnePlus" logo on the back cover has also become "McLaren".
The McLaren version still maintains the same high quality as last year, which is slightly better than one plus 7 Pro Blue.
On the whole, the author has no complaints about the appearance and feel of the One Plus 7 Pro and the 7T Pro series, which belong to the top level of mobile phones that the author has experienced this year.
Exclusive function of McLaren
Another experience that is a little different is the software link. First, McLaren's fingerprint unlocking animation is much cooler than the original version. Second, McLaren has also added a new style of information screen alarm clock. The style still follows McLaren's design, mainly using orange as the pointer and dial, which brings a certain sense of freshness, Unfortunately, the Always On Display is still not available. Yijia's information screen display logic is that clicking the screen or lifting the phone will trigger the information screen display, instead of the information screen display like Samsung's, which is always on, but the author does not care much about this function, as Yijia does, it will save more power. There is also a new notification light effect, which uses the two sides of the curved screen to quickly stroke from bottom to top. With red and orange lines, it is really more cool than the original notification light effect.
The notification bar has also been customized. You can see from the drop-down notification bar that the color tone is also orange, and there are some looming textures at the bottom of the status bar.
The above are the exclusive functions of McLaren. These functions will not bring you much help in actual use. At best, they will only bring you a sense of freshness and satisfaction. Let's talk about the biggest improvement of the software.
Hydrogen OS 10
The hydrogen OS version number is also updated to ten Compared with 9, Yijia redraws the default icon and unifies the style of the icon. Even if it does not support the application of Yijia's original icon, it will automatically be converted into a rounded rectangle. It is no longer as disorganized as it used to be. It has made a big step forward in aesthetic appreciation.
The hydrogen OS 10 has also added wallet applications (actually the wallet applications in OPPO). The bus card functions in the past card vouchers have also been added to the wallet APP, and the access card function has also been added. The wallet also integrates some very useful functions such as mobile phone recharge, cross-border traffic, etc.
The number of cards that can be added has also increased. The types basically cover most regions in China, and support the migration of old cards. But unfortunately, the author failed to transfer the card. The wallet app does not exist on the OnePlus 7 Pro, and it cannot be opened even after downloading and installing it. So for the moment, this card transfer function is still useless for OnePlus users, because there is no wallet app when updating OnePlus 7 Pro to the latest version, and it cannot be opened even after installing it. So, This function will be useful only after it is gradually improved.
The most regrettable thing is that OnePlus has not launched the "Pay" payment. It is a very good experience to use UnionPay card to pass the subway bus in Shenzhen every day. But OnePlus has not yet opened the "Pay" service. Every time, it can only use another mobile phone or bank card to swipe, which is a bit inconvenient. I heard that this function will open next year, so let me look forward to it.
The fingerprint has been upgraded to G3.0 color fingerprint of Huiding, which will be safer in theory, but it will go backwards in actual use. While the speed decreases, the fault tolerance rate also decreases, and the experience is not as good as one plus 7 Pro.
Constant power, shorter charging time
The charging still continues the WARP flash charging, from 6T McLaren to 7T McLaren. The peak power is still the maximum 30W of 5V6A. The official optimized the charging curve to reduce the charging time without changing the charging power.
△ One Plus 7T Pro charging curve
According to the actual measurement, it only takes 1 hour and 2 minutes to fully charge the 1-plus 7T Pro from 0%, which is a great improvement compared with the 1-plus 7T Pro's 1 hour and 18 minutes in the first half of the year.
△ One plus 7T Pro charging power change
△ One plus 7 Pro charging power change
It can be seen from the charging curves of the two mobile phones that the secret of the one plus 7T Pro to reduce the charging time is to increase the duration of the peak power. The charging power is maintained at more than 25W within 14 minutes, and the online power can be protected at more than 15W within 40 minutes. Compare the charging curve of the one plus 7T Pro to make a decision.
Although the charging curve has been optimized, the old OnePlus 7 Pro cannot be obtained through firmware upgrade. According to the official statement, the internal hardware of OnePlus 7T Pro series has undergone some changes, which has the effect of keeping the charging head unchanged and shortening the charging time.
Other new features are basically brought by Android 10, such as pill gesture operation, new music status bar progress bar, etc.
Which of the above points are the upgrade points of One Plus 7T Pro to One Plus 7 Pro? Let's talk about why I love this phone.
Advantages&Disadvantages
The excellent experience of the screen is certainly worth mentioning, 2K 90Hz Samsung AMOLED screen is undoubtedly a top screen. With high refresh rate and high resolution, the text edge is clearly visible, and the slide is smooth. The user experience has made a leap. An excellent screen combined with powerful dual speakers is the best multimedia player. Thanks to the full screen design, playing a 21:9 movie can fully display all the content, which is also the advantage of the full screen solution.
I thought that in the second half of the year, there would be domestic manufacturers to follow up this excellent screen and improve the use experience, but I didn't expect that in the second half of the year, all mobile phones were still taking photos, and only OPPO, OnePlus and Realme followed up 90Hz.
The horizontal linear motor is also an excellent performance in the Android camp. The vibration feedback of typing is very comfortable, which belongs to the first camp of Android. At present, there are more and more mobile phones using horizontal linear motors in China, and the vibration experience is also increasing, which is not an exclusive advantage.
The experience of hydrogen OS is also very excellent. The system has no advertising, which is close to Google's native Android. Moreover, many localization functions have been added on the basis of the native, such as automatic filling of verification code, integrated express information on the negative screen, and automatic sorting of information into card form. In addition, the native like system has not changed much, and the smoothness is among the best among various customized Android systems.
Having said so many advantages, this mobile phone is not perfect. There are also some disadvantages worth mentioning.
The automatic brightness experience of the system is very poor. I felt that the automatic brightness optimization was not very good when I started using one plus 7 Pro half a year ago, and I didn't feel that there was any improvement when I added 7T Pro in the second half of the year. Sometimes when I play with my mobile phone in bed, the brightness suddenly drops, and I manually turn it up. After a few minutes, the system will automatically reduce the brightness. Finally, I have to manually turn off the automatic brightness to solve this problem.
PD high power fast charging is not supported, Warp 30W fast charging is relatively fast. It can be fully charged in about an hour. However, the problem is that both the charging line and the charging head need to be original. Sometimes when traveling on business, you just want to use one line to solve the power problem of multiple devices. However, the power of this generation of PD fast charging is only 15W (5V3A), and the compatibility is extremely poor. Many charging heads cannot trigger the one plus PD fast charging.
What's more, the wallet function is not as good as that of other manufacturers. There is no "Pay" function, and the access card has only recently been added. The card transfer function is still weak. There is no way to transfer the bus card on the One Plus 7 Pro to the One Plus 7T series. It is said that Yijia is already in the internal test and will be able to launch Yijia Pay next year.
There are more flaws than merits. The OnePlus 7 Pro series is the most satisfactory mobile phone for the author this year, and the experience in all aspects is excellent, especially in multimedia audio and video. Even though it doesn't have 5G yet and has a few minor problems, it is still the most enjoyable phone I use. It is better than Apple's iPhone XR. I also hope to continue to work hard next year to launch some better products.
