While big brands like Samsung, Xiaomi, Huawei and Oppo have already introduced new flagship handsets in 2019, one smartphone player is yet to reveal its hand. The OnePlus 7 is just about the most talked about phone in the news.
OnePlus usually tends to unveil its flagship handsets in April or May every year. And with that date fast approaching, leaks and rumours about the OnePlus 7 have already begun flooding the Internet. Even videos of the alleged OnePlus 7 have surfaced on the Internet.

The entry-level OnePlus 6T features a Snapdragon 845 SoC coupled with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage space. The handset also features a 6.41-inch AMOLED display with a waterdrop style notch and a 19.5:9 aspect ratio. Both the 16-megapixel primary sensor and 20-megapixel secondary sensor on the 6T feature an f/1.7 aperture. The OnePlus 6T ships with OxygenOS based on Android 9.0 Pie.

But a price drop is a sign of better things to come, most likely in the form of the OnePlus 7. And, while the pricing of 2019 flagship handsets has been soaring above usual expectations, OnePlus prides itself on being a flagship killer, which makes it more sensible to wait for the OnePlus 7.
