Oneplus 7 pro : Flagship or Flagship Killer?

Hello everyone,

Recently Oneplus have unveiled two new devices viz the Oneplus7 and the Oneplus 7 pro. But, interestingly Oneplus7 is not going to be sold in the USA. Why are they up to this scheme? Well, as there are two sides of a coin Oneplus basically aims to achieve two things.

1. They are adopting a new business model as the mid-range phone segment is flooded wit phones out there and hence they basically are now trying to enter into the flagship market where the big giants Apple and Samsung have already acquired their markets.

2. The only reason that they are allowing the Oneplus 7 in India and other Asian countries as their almost 70% of the margin comes from here and since they have always reclaimed their flagship killers trademark they are aiming to continue that. (The detailed review for Oneplus 7 will is going to be in the upcoming articles this week)

So, the question now arises is that,

Is OP7 pro really worth it?

Talking about the specifications of the device it is loaded with all the latest software and blazing hardware.

Oneplus 7 pro has no doubt been their best device that they have unveiled so far but still it lacks the right formula to be a flagship.

• Camera performance is great but the quality of image reproduced isn't that great. Also, it suffers from color reproduction.

• The front camera does not shoot 4k videos.

• The company claims that the device is splash proof but in order to keep the price low they didn't certify it. So you have to be careful before dripping your phone in water. 

So what you think about the new Oneplus 7 pro. Let us down in the comments below and also do poll on facebook which device you prefer amongst these two. Please do subscribe to our newsletter if you haven't already. we will catch you up in the next one till then Good-Bye.
