OnePlus 7 or OnePlus 7 Pro: which one would you buy?

Well, it has come and gone — a new OnePlus announcement is always a special event for smartphone fans worldwide. It’s always exciting to see what kind of hardware the company will be able to put out at a super aggressive price point.
This year, however, we got two devices at once — that’s a first for the company and definitely a controversial theme in the fanbase. There’s the value choice OnePlus 7, which is basically an evolution of last year’s OnePlus 6T, and then there’s the OnePlus 7 Pro with its mechanical pop-out camera and 90 Hz display.
While both are still more affordable than the mainstream competition, the 7 Pro is definitely pushing its luck with a starting price of $700, while the OnePlus 7 still sits at an acceptable ~$560. But… to make it worse for US users — the cheaper option is not coming to the States. So, it’s Pro only.
