The OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Edition is real and it’s headed to the US as an exclusive carried by T-Mobile.
It seems the phone is the same as the OnePLus 7T Pro McLaren Edition revealed at the launch of the OnePlus 7T and OnePlus 7T Pro earlier in October except, of course, it can hook up to a super-fast 5G network. It will be the second phone capable of hooking up to the T-Mobile 5G network after the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G.
As the name suggests, it’s a version of the supercar-inspired special edition phone with 5G data on T-Mobiles 600MHz network. There’s no pricing at this point, although you can safely presume this will cost much more than the $669 starting price for the earlier 7 Pro.
The standard 7T Pro is a mildly souped-up 7 Pro with a Snapdragon 855+ chip, a minimum 8GB of RAM, faster charging, an ever-so-slightly larger battery and photography extras like 960FPS slow motion video and a macro mode. The McLaren model bumps the RAM to 12GB and, of course, adds that signature black and orange color scheme with an ethereal pattern on the back. There’s not much rush to get this model if you already have a 7 Pro. It’s likely your best chance at getting a 7T Pro in the US, however, and the futureproofing for 5G might sweeten the deal.
