OnePlus may have already resolved most of the quirks from its previous flagship with the release of the OnePlus 7 but it doesn’t end there. Together with the OnePlus 7, the company also introduced the new OnePlus 7 Pro the company’s true flagship killer.

The handset will come in various configurations with RAM starting at 6GB and up to 12GB and storage from 128GB up to 256GB.
