My Thoughts
The OnePlus 7T an incredibly fast smartphone in Nigeria. It is slim, light and most importantly smooth on the inside and her cameras are amazing too.
My top two loving features on the OnePlus 7T are fast charging feature and the 90Hz refresh rate. You know, no body likes to handle a smartphone that is hanging.
OnePlus have been able to brilliantly put away some unnecessary high-end features by substituting them with the once they feel are most important to an average user.
Despite all these slashed features, the OnePlus 7T is still expensive for many in Nigeria. In the Global market, the OnePlus 7T is priced as a mid-range smartphone but hey man! We are talking six figures here.
In a world where smartphones with rich features are becoming more and more expensive, OnePlus have been able to cut down price without sacrificing much. A bit expensive – YES but worth the price.
