Excellent quality, absolutely not expected for such a price.

In general, I advise purchasing. A highly effective tool.

I wish I had more time to write, but there are restrictions. I should mention that the physical keys do not play; they sit tight and work just fine. I liked them almost instantly. It is a good, complete cover, and there are currently no plans to change it. The microphones produce passable-quality audio recordings. It is pleasing that the data transfer speed is so quick (compared to Sony, the Wi-Fi speed has increased from 10 Mbps to 250 at the same place: D).

Because the manufacturer included a flicker reduction function (you can enable it like this: settings - OnePlus laboratory - DC current reduction), as well as due to the low ripple factor among other flagship competitors on amoled, it is important to note that this screen is the best among amoleds precisely in terms of PWM (at least at the time of purchase on 07202222). The feature genuinely works; without it, at brightness levels below 40%, I get flickering, whereas with it, everything is already in working order. The decision of a new phone was really challenging. I wanted to buy something on IPS because I'm sensitive to flicker, I don't want to further damage my eyesight, and there was some sort of widespread "amoledization" of smartphones at the time. It was therefore impossible to find a flagship that used the already developed and well-remembered IPS technology. It is sad that manufacturers have little regard for consumers' health, but let's hope that since the advent of AMOLED, things will change for the better and the flicker frequency will rise to at least 300 Hz, where it won't harm users' eyes.

Concerning the 90Hz screen, Google recently discontinued support for it in their application, and I felt the agony extremely badly))). Even in ordinary use, there is a clear difference between 60 and 90. I now went with Opera Touch because it has compatibility for 90 Hz. Because hardly all applications support them, the autonomy of 90 Hz has little impact (many continue to work in 60). Nonetheless, there are 90 instant messengers and system apps in general use.

Pros

The picture is incredibly smooth, and the screen is 90 Hz. In the early stages of use, I wasn't especially aware of the enhanced frame rate, but when I'm back in front of the "regular" 60 Hz screen, it feels as though everything is lagging, even though the issue is smoothness rather than brakes. I like this feature more and more more I use my phone. Have we really waited this long for a screen without cutouts? Any notch in the screen is an ugly, useless crutch that looks out of place. Two full days of average use constitute autonomy. I don't play games; instead, I read online (messaging, email, browsing, etc.) or watch videos most of the time (YoutTube, etc.). It is actually feasible to watch a movie and use instant messengers for the entirety of one day without the phone dying by evening. Performance. Everything is as responsive as it can be, though my comparison may not be entirely accurate given that I came from the Sony Z3, which was already lagging horribly at this point. Glass and metal No heating is used for anything (except for games - you can go to YouTube for this). Again, my old Sony heated up to the point of boiling water even at full brightness, but here, streaming video plus wireless headphones plus an application plus full brightness equals no warmth. Included is very quick charging (the first 50% charges in 30 minutes). Excellent camera modules and final images / videos; for instance, it's better on YouTube, where there are millions of them. Delightful OxygenOS shell Although the higher speaker in the stereo system is less loud than the bottom one, the earpiece speaker is actually sufficient for chatting, therefore there were no issues with insufficient volume in noisy environments. Excellent vibration, pleasant tactile feedback when actuating different switches, etc. A handy slider for changing ringer modes, though I personally think it would be more practical if they were switched back and forth (in the phone, the upper position corresponds to the "silent" mode, and the lower one to the call)

Cons

Price. Personally, I am already approaching the psychological threshold beyond which I will not spend any money (45k). Nonetheless, there were no rivals for me at the time of purchase due to a number of variables, making this pricing reasonable. Given that there won't be many upgrades coming to the 7T or 7T Pro, individuals who still have an acceptable older phone can wait for the price drop. Because of its enormous size, using one hand is nearly difficult. When will the manufacturers stop adding more and more to the display every year? When 6.7 "in this phone, and 7" were regarded as tablets. not a minijack. The most disappointing development in this story is arguably the fact that OnePlus very lately took pride in providing flagships with an audio jack before following the fashion. screens with curved edges. This is a very contentious choice, and I personally don't see any benefits to it, with the possible exception of when reading something horizontally on the screen, when the text appears to be "wrapped" inside the display. Most of the time, these edges take up highlights and somewhat clip the content's edges in all other aspects. AMOLED is a type of screen matrix. Because the screen employs PWM at a low frequency, I personally see a drawback. fingerprint scanner built inside the display. A physical scanner, albeit debatable, is unquestionably quicker and more accurate. The under-screen scanner in this phone is still not very good, despite being the best at the time of purchase. It only works rapidly when adding a finger, but after 2 weeks of use (quite a few screen unlocks), it begins to forget the finger, the scanning time lengthens (up to 2 seconds), and eventually it stops recognizing it altogether. I don't know why this occurs; my friend uses the identical phone but doesn't experience the same issues. Moreover, there was a major fail once; my friend snatched my phone and opened it promptly from the very first application (this did not happen again, but the case is still strange).
