    The OnePlus 7T was officially presented in New Delhi on September 26 of 2019 and was available to order on September 28, followed by the 7T Pro unveiled 2 weeks later. The OnePlus 7T is the successor to the 7 that was released 5 months prior for the European and Asian market, and to the 6T for the American market where the OnePlus 7 wasn't available for sale. It features a new form-factor compared to its predecessors, with a 20/9 aspect ratio instead of 19.5/9. This allowed for OnePlus to make the phone ever so slightly taller than the older 6T and 7 while keeping the same width. OnePlus also decided to include the 90Hz Fluid AMOLED display found on the previous OnePlus 7 Pro. While OnePlus did keep the resolution at 2400×1080 pixels, the screen was one of its primary selling points. While the OnePlus 7T is considered a significant upgrade compared to the 7, the 7T Pro is a very subtle upgrade over the 7 Pro. It features the same display, same body, same camera system; the main changes being faster charging, faster processor and a slightly quieter pop-up camera.
