Like their predecessor, the handsets will feature an in-display fingerprint scanner with support for face unlock technology.

Sources claim both the OnePlus 7 and the OnePlus 7 Pro will run on the 7nm Snapdragon 855 SoC. The chipset consists of an Octa-core CPU and the Adreno 640 GPU. In terms of optics, while both the smartphones will have a triple rear camera setup; the former will have a 48 MP sensor, combined with a 20 MP and a 5 MP sensor; The latter will feature a 48 MP main sensor, combined with a 16 MP telephoto and an 8 MP sensor.

Previous leaks suggested the OnePlus 7 will be powered by a 4000 mAh battery with support for 44W fast charging. The Pro model may feature a bigger cell because of the rumoured support for 5G connectivity. Both the smartphones will run on the latest Oxygen OS 9 on top of the current Android 9 Pie.
