You are comparing two completely different phones.

The 7T is an upgrade for the 7. And it is an upgrade in every sense of the word. Infact this has been the biggest T upgrade for OP. Also, I know enough people that prefer a flat screen to a curved one. So it comes down to personal choice.

The upcoming 7pro T is an update for the 7 Pro.

I agree. However when you put out a phone like the 7 Pro and then bring a new phone as an upgrade to the 2nd rung phone, it looks kind a iffy. Maybe I am being too picky. I will look forward to the 7pro T.. the naming already sounds complicated

I find it pretty straight forward. Earlier you had a OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7 pro. The latter was a "pro" version.

Now they have launched a 7T which is better than the 7, but still not a "pro". The 7T pro is on the way and would be better than the 7 pro.

So where is the confusion?

I other news OnePlus seems to have botched up the Andriod 10 upgrade and the roll-out has been put on hold. They might restart at the end of the month with hot fixes included - probably a 10.0.1. That's a shame, OnePlus!

I've avoided getting the Android 9 update on my OP3 because of the bad reviews and it seems like a good decision with how the Lolipop update screwed up my beloved Nexus 4 and cut down its life.

I still get a daily notification that the update is available but I can seem to turn it off. Is there a way to do so ?

I am on 3t and updated to 9 on the day it arrived. Haven't faced any issues. Anything specific you read about?

Ditto. Love the long lasting battery and the beautiful amoled display.

Did face an issue today when I had gmaps on today. The GPS would lock but then it wouldn't track. I wasn't on gmaps driving mode, was just tracking traffic but my location wouldn't update even if i moved a couple of kms. I had to close the app and open again for location to update. Can you guys check and let me know if you are having similar issues?

Yet to try out Google Maps properly as the new magnetic phone holder I ordered for the phone has not arrived.

Will update in a couple of days.

I am facing somewhat similar issue on Samsung A50, that too quite a few times in the last 15 days and guess before that it was fine.

Even when I am on Gmaps navigation mode, if I switch off the screen the navigation gets stuck and says no GPS signal after some time. When I switch on the screen, I need to again start the navigation. This is becoming a pain.

I checked my battery usage mode and it's in Optimised mode, which allows internet usage when screen is off.

Edit - Checked again to be doubly sure and turned out GMaps app was in the list of Sleeping Apps under Battery setting, have changed it now to run in background also, should solve the problem. I will update once I use it today.

I asked my colleague to open the redmi k20 pro box to check it. Screen went kaput within few minutes after switching it on. It is at Mi service center waiting for screen replacement

Thanks for that info. Checked and Gmaps wasnt in the sleeping apps list. Tried out driving mode today and it works fine. Hence I think its a settings issue, need to figure out what to toggle to get it to work.

Need a phone for the better half. I would have taken the plunge with the Samsung M30S but it's weight as a result of that 6000 mah battery is a concern. Other than that it seems great value for money.

How hard is the phone for women to use? My wife finds my Oppo Reno 10x zoom to be quite heavy and difficult to handle.

Currently she has a Honor 8 Pro.

My issue of Gmaps not working when screen is off got solved by removing GMaps app out of the sleeping apps. It works perfectly fine now.

Heating, lag, poor battery life, network or connectivity Issues, etc. Basically problems with core functionality so I'm avoiding it. 3 years down my OP3 is working fine. I want to stretch it for another year and get the OP8 or whatever which will hopefully be a 5g phone. Since I keep my phone's for 2-3 years atleast during which time 5g will start to roll out, I don't want to be stuck with a 4g phone and have to upgrade mid way.

Its not heavy at all, infact its so light I regularly check my pockets to see if the phone is still there.
I found the M30s total VFM. The battery lasts for 2 day without charging with moderate to heavy use. The screen is way good since I was coming from a Chinese phone Le Eco2. The only thing I am getting used to is unavailability of the return button, which is now a simple swipe.
