When theOnePlus 7T Pro McLaren Editionwas unveiled in London there was no mention of 5G - it was all about updating the handset to give customers the latest hardware, including a faster Qualcomm Snapdragon 855+, more RAM and faster charging - and that luscious McLaren makeover, of course.
But adding to the speed of this already speedy version is a 5G variant - and it’s going to be exclusive to T-Mobile in the US - of which the company says “the Un-carrier will be the ONLY place in the U.S. to get this 5G superphone.”
Let’s just be clear: nothing was said about this being a5G phonepreviously and it appears that it will only be available as a 4G LTE device for those buying it outside the US. On the UK store it’s listed as 4G - although it’s not available until 5 November.
EE was one of the first networks to offer the5G OnePlus 7 Proearlier in 2019, so this type of exclusive offering isn’t unheard of for the company. OnePlus has confirmed to us that the phone will be exclusive to T-Mobile, so those hoping to get a SIM-free version of this handset in 5G might be disappointed.
What’s also interesting is thatrumours had previously suggestedthat Sprint would be getting a 5G handset from OnePlus - something that still remains elusive.
The OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren Edition comes in exquisite packaging, with possibly the best case you’ll find for the OnePlus phone - along with the 30T Warp charger that will have your phone fuelled up in no time. It promises to be a powerhouse of a phone - just that little bit better than the OnePlus 7 Pro that already won plenty of praise.
It’s not the only 5G handset that T-Mobile is offering - you can also get the excellentSamsung Galaxy S10 5G too.
