The OnePlus 7T is a lot like the phones that have made the company popular - while the 7 Pro was a precious bid to take over the flagships, the 7T adds a lot to the phone's suggested value but not at the price.
Choosing a camera on pure or almost pure Android phones is better than others. Few phones have wide, ultra-wide, and telephoto cameras on the back while avoiding the skins of heavy artisanal - Xperia 1 and 5 and OnePlus 7 Pro. Google Pixel 3, Asus Zenfone 6, and Xiaomi Mi A3 all have their compromises (meaning none of them have a remote camera and the only Pixel wide-angle camera is at the front).
It's tough to get a screen with groundbreaking quality - the Mi A3 completely misses the mark and unlike the gaming-oriented Asus ROG Phone II, there's really not much high refresh rates and HDR10 support (Xperias has HDR screens that run at 60Hz).
Additionally, the 7T will be the first phone to ship with Android 10 (it should outpace the Pixel 4 for a week or two), make the OnePlus Warp Charge faster, and the new glossy finish on the back is a welcome break from flashing finishes and so on.
The OnePlus 7T checks a lot of the boxes: a premium camera, OLED display, a big battery with fast charging, flagship chips, and reasonable prices. OnePlus' constant refusal to add official water resistance, wireless charging and the Always on Display means it doesn't check all the boxes.
However, many of these issues are not unique to the 7T, especially if limited to Android phones. And even if not, phone prices are so high on the value for money range that they are hard to overlook.
