The verdict, up front

The McLaren the OnePlus faithful still talk about.

7T Pro McLaren Edition was the partnership at its peak — QHD+ 90 Hz, pop-up selfie, 12 GB RAM, an Alcantara-style papaya back. The pop-up's aging mechanism is the modern caveat; for collectors of the pre-merger OxygenOS era, no OnePlus is more sought-after.

What works
  • McLaren Papaya finish is genuinely beautiful and collectible.
  • QHD+ 90 Hz pop-up flagship — no notch.
  • 12 GB RAM was unheard-of in 2019.
  • 5G version of the year's defining OnePlus.
What doesn't
  • 4,085 mAh felt small for the QHD+ panel.
  • 30 W charging.
  • Pop-up camera mechanism is failure-prone with age.
  • Support ended.
