Meanwhile, Wired got an early hands-on with the OnePlus 7 Pro. The publication confirms that the smartphone will be loaded with 3x optical zoom. The publication got the access of a near final pre-production model and there is an optical of 10x Digital Zoom as well. “From a pro photographer’s point of view, one of the main differences with a smartphone is the optical zoom,” says OnePlus imaging director Simon Liu to the publication. “On our previous phones, we wanted to maintain a nice phone body that wasn’t too thick, and to make sure the lens didn’t stick out too much,” says Liu. “In this case, the users’ input on forums helped me to get these features onto the phone. But we tried to find the balance over the entire phone experience.”
Previously, the smartphone received highest DisplayMate A+ certification. DisplayMate is considered as the most reliable display evaluation agency in the United States and there are only few devices which receives A-level certification. DisplayMate claimed that the OnePlus 7 Pro smartphone has not only exceeded expectations, but also raised the bar for smartphone displays across the industry.
