OnePlus 7 Pro Gets the Same DisplayMate Score as the Galaxy S10 Plus

oneplus 7 pro 5 things we know

Chinese smartphone manufacturer OnePlus is gearing up to launch the OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7 Pro on May 14th, and while we were all pretty sure they’d be among the fastest smartphones out there (that’s something you can trust OnePlus on), DisplayMate today gave OnePlus fans a fresh new surprise.

In a tweet on its official handle, DisplayMate said that the OnePlus 7 Pro’s display has been tested in-depth by them and it received their highest A+ rating in the tests. The exact wordings of the tweet read “DisplayMate’s in-depth Lab Tests of the OnePlus 7 Pro OLED Display have just been completed, earning our Highest A+ Display Rating. Our in-depth Display Shoot-Out will be published here on May 14.”

That’s some high-level praise for the OnePlus 7 Pro’s display, which, the company itself has claimed will be the best display on a OnePlus smartphone ever, and that it costs considerably more than any other display on a OnePlus phone. The A+ rating from DisplayMate puts it right next to high-end flagship smartphones like the Galaxy S10 Plus, which received DisplayMate’s highest ever A+ rating when it launched.

The OnePlus 7 Pro is expected to keep basically the same spec-sheet as the OnePlus 7, but is expected to up its display game with a higher-resolution AMOLED panel with a 90Hz refresh rate — a first for OnePlus smartphones. It will also have a curved display, similar to the Galaxy S10, or the P30 Pro, which should definitely add to the in-hand feel of the phone, even though palm-rejection will be a major focus point with a display like that.

Needless to say, the OnePlus 7 Pro looks like it’s shaping up to be one of the best Android smartphones of the year, and if the company gets the price right on this, it might just be one of their best selling smartphones as well. We’ll get to know the pricing and all the details about the phone on May 14, when it’s officially launched, and DisplayMate has also said that it will publish the full display shoot-out of the OnePlus 7 Pro on that same day; clearly, there’s a lot to look forward to in May.

iPhone 12 to Have 5nm Processor, Qualcomm’s X55 5G Modem: Report

Apple is all set to launch its first 5G iPhones next year, and a new report out of Japan now claims that they will ship with Qualcomm’s X55 5G modem under-the-hood. According to multiple sources quoted by the Nikkei Asian Review , at least three of the devices the company will launch next year, will ship with 5G connectivity. “It will be the first time Apple introduces 5G iPhones … There will be three of them and the company has set an aggressive sales target” , said one of them. As per the report, the next-gen iPhone lineup will be powered by the A14 chip that will use the 5nm technology, making it significantly more power efficient than its predecessor, the A13 Bionic, found on the current-gen iPhone 11 lineup. At least two of the three new phones will also have what the report called ‘flexible’ OLED displays, although it’s not immediately clear what it meant by that term. In addition, Apple is also developing a new ‘3D-sensing rear-camera’ that is said to be able to “sense t...

Windows 10 Insider Build 19013 Adds Power Toys, New Kaomoji, and More

Microsoft has already pushed the near-final release version of the Windows 10 November 2019 Update and is now focusing its efforts on the next major 20H1 update. We’ve been keeping track of the new features being tested with Insiders for some time now and well, the latest build, number 19013, brings improvements to the Linux subsystem, emoji tray, and Your Phone features. The highlights of Insider Build 19013 is the return of Power Toys. They’re special utilities that were made popular in the Windows 95 and Windows XP era, but had been nixed to make way for new features over the past few years. Well, they’ve now made a return to Windows 10 20H1 Insider builds this month, starting with 2 features, PowerRename and FancyZones. While PowerRename makes it possible for users to rename files in bulk, the FancyZones feature lets you drag apps into defined target positions on your PC. You can take a close look at the FancyZones feature right here . Apart from this, the Windows subsystem f...

Samsung Launches Galaxy Labs; an App Suite to Help Optimize Your Phone

Though OneUI 2 is set to bring along a number of changes to Samsung’s Galaxy phones, the company has today released a new suite of device optimization apps. Dubbed Galaxy Labs, it’s offering users access to 4 apps, including a file restoration app, battery tracker and optimizer, and an app booster. All of these four apps live under Galaxy Labs, similar to the “Device Care” feature on the company’s OneUI-powered devices. Let’s talk about each service under this app, starting with File Guardian. It’s going to serve as one of the most used and important apps in the Galaxy Labs suite as it will help recover permanently deleted files from your internal, as well as external storage. Next up, we have Battery Tracker and Battery Guardian apps. The name of these 2 apps are enough to tell you what they do. While the former gives you an in-depth look at the device’s battery usage (more detailed in comparison to the in-built battery tracker), the latter only checks if existing battery optimiza...
