The Weibo post is accompanied by a teaser picture showing a corner of the upcoming device and the slogan “Go Beyond Speed.”

The screen is emphasized again in Lau’s announcement, “We’ll show everyone what kind of top notch screen a real flagship should have.” In a previous Weibo post, Lau revealed that OnePlus 7 devices will be equipped with customized brand new screens that cost two to three times more than normal smartphone screens. Lau believes that having a good screen is crucial to user experience since the screen is the interface that a user has the most direct contact with.

Lau said OnePlus will lead the industry into a new era of “smooth” experience and redefine “lightness” and “smoothness”.
