OnePlus 7 Pro '5G'?

XDA posted an article about a rumour and another article saying that the Pro model will have 5G

OnePlus 7 Pro forums are now open
It’s getting close to the time of year when a new OnePlus device is announced. We already know when the OnePlus 7 will be revealed. This year is a little different, however, as OnePlus is announcing multiple devices. We already opened the forums for the standard OnePlus 7 and now we have forums for the OnePlus 7 Pro.


The “Pro” version of the OnePlus 7 will support 5G, have a Quad HD+ Super AMOLED display, 90Hz refresh rate, 4,000 mAh battery, and fast 30W charging. It will also be more expensive than any other OnePlus device. If you’re excited about the phone, hit the link below to join the forum!

I though OP is making a 5G model separate from the Pro model

I saw some interesting 5G references playing around in the shortcut manager app earlier today.

It is. The model is Oneplus 7 Pro 5G. Different phone.

The OnePlus 7 Pro 5G being an n78-only phone would explain entirely why EE UK is the only partner for it. If the regular Pro has it, that would be insane. I don't think the mmwave antennas are needed for 3.5 GHz, especially if the phone doesn't support mmwave to begin with.

I know next to nothing about 5G, but have been holding out for the 5G version, hoping to use it on T-Mobile when it's available in the near future. Are you saying that the OnePlus 7 Pro 5G won't work in the US?

If it's only for 3.5 GHz, then no, not yet. It might work in a few years if the CBRS spectrum is auctioned off and built out, but not today. Europe is deploying 5G on that frequency.

If the phone support mmwave frequencies, then probably yes.

The rep told me the pro is actually 5G capable. #ThatIsAll

Thanks for the info! Guess I'll just wait to see when it's out.

Was that a T-Mobile or a OnePlus rep and did he/she sound "rep"utable?

A ONEPLus Rep that was there for the special release event. He works for Oneplus not TMO. So yes reputable.

I dought that is correct.

According to this: https://www.cellularmaps.com/5g-coverage.shtml "Verizon Mobile 5G is only available in Minneapolis & Chicago." I think we need someone with Verizon there to see if the 7 Pro gets 5g.

I got 5g Pro pre ordered with EE UK.
Release is 31st may.
Hoping for not locked bootloader as they said they don't lock OnePlus devices but this is exclusive to EE so hopefully they don't start to lock.
