The biggest rumored change for the OnePlus 7 is without a doubt a true edge-to-edge screen. No notch, no disruptions. The images above present the most substantial leak so far and come from one of the most reliable leaksters around, @OnLeaks, so while these are not official pictures, they are as close as you'd get to the real thing.

How can OnePlus achieve this? Just like other Chinese companies have: the Honor Magic 2 and the Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 are two devices that already have such a design, and to achieve the full-screen trick, they use a slider design. Yes, just like all those phones from back in the day.

The OnePlus 7 is expected to be similar: a two-part design with the top part sliding down to reveal the bottom part where you have the front camera. This would mean that you would need to quickly slide the phone down and up if you want to use the face recognition system.

The OnePlus 6T is a very reliable phone that runs impressively smoothly, but one thing that we noticed and many people agree with is that the optical fingerprint scanner that is embedded inside the display is just not as fast as a traditional fingerprint scanner.

We expect the OnePlus 7 to rectify this: expectations are that the fingerprint reader will be bigger and nearly 30% faster, at least that's what we have gotten on phones by Oppo and Vivo, made by the same parent company as OnePlus. The fingerprint will likely remain as an optical one, rather than the ultrasonic type that we saw in the Galaxy S10. That's not necessarily a bad thing: we have already seen Huawei implement this newer generation of optical fingerprint readers in its P30 Pro and it works much better than earlier generations.
