It's all in the details. OnePlus 7T Circular Camera Housing Design Nov 12, 2019

Personally, I love the round "ocular" look of the cameras on my OnePlus 7T. Our eyes are round, so it makes sense that the eyes of a camera would in a round too. Cyclops? Perhaps the next OnePlus will come up with 2 horizontal circles with 4 cameras and that will add depth perception? All you would have to do is add a speaker slit on the back, essentially a "mouthpiece" and then maybe a "smell sensor" in the middle. We'd have a wonderful personification of the phone. People would smile just seeing the "face." I'd buy one!

Personally I could not care less about a camera bump..I am going to use a case anyway .

I love the circular look. It makes the 7t distinguishable. Sidenote, I never noticed that the iPhone's camera bump looks like a stovetop until you mentioned it. [e]1f602[/e][e]1f602[/e][e]1f602[/e]

God, did you just open the flood gates for comments from people who absolutely hate the circular bump?

This works as a differentiator for 7T, and I don't see any other perks with this design. Apple's design has seperate housing for each of the lens and the bump itself is just part of the back glass. Aesthetically I don't like Apple's design, but I'm not going to give credit to OnePlus for this circular design either. It's symmetric and in isolation, it's is a good way to align the camera components. But it sticks out too much with the sea of black and it is something that I'm wary of when putting down my phone somewhere (I hope OnePlus used the same scratch resistant glass they would use for camera lens housing in other models). I have seen people applying protectors on the bump (making it stick out like a sore thumb).

The large bump would have been a good call if there was something revolutionary in here (it is the same 48MP sensor, along with an ultra wide and 2x telephoto). The Pro varient gets even better stuff but its design doesn't flaunt the camera as much. Nokia had done something with the bump and it was huge in comparison but they definitely wanted to sell the phone for that camera. OnePlus 7T is certainly not going to be sold for its camera alone, so why make it stand out as much? It makes Pro looks sleeker, and I guess OnePlus took this call to differentiate 7T from 7 ( T gets better camera, so let's flaunt it) and 7 Pro (T gets so much good stuff from 7 Pro, so let's make the camera look different to make users believe they are getting very different cameras).

Also there is very little that anyone can do to make 8 look different from the back, especially with a case on. So it's a win win. I don't hate the bump, I just like the Pros implementation of it.

Sorry for the big rant, had to put it down somewhere and just got a place for it.

Well, i just think it's kinda ugly. I like my devices to be sleek, and understated. This just screams 'look at me!'.

I'm unable to use mighty text to dial numbers from desktop. It was working fine with 6t but 7t is asking to authenticate everytime so is there any solution???

It's probably the camera bump
Jokes aside, I would look at the Android 10 permissions and if that doesn't help, reach out to the developer of the app (OnePlus probably has little to do with this issue). But then again, this thread has little to do with app compatibility issues, so I would try my luck elsewhere (unless you want people like me to help )

to be honest I don't love the 7t camera bump from an aesthetic point of view, but that I just my opinion. however, the camera bump I a big waste if space on the inside and compromised the integrity of the glass back (see all of this in the Jerry rig everything video on YouTube for the 7t) and that I'm NOT ok with!

good

I am a 7T user and I personally saying it's not that bad.. but I would say horizontal approach of samsung is much cooler

anyways 7T is a nice phone with some software glitches which I am hoping will resolve soon by OP.

7T cracked in the bend test.

 

Bouncer71 , Nov 13, 2019 :

Although I don't like the design myself..

This...

must be the best "pro" argument for the camera bump....

Hi. i use my Oneplus 7T in case all day long never remove and don't want to remove it and yes its not that attractive looking back but not that much ugly its good and tell me..how many people in this world always see back of the phone instead of front so......m all ok

 

suraj1595 , via OnePlus 6T , Nov 13, 2019 :

IT'S UGLY.

I don't care about camera bump... But what I care is that biiiig round glass cover for the lens. Larger the area larger the probability of getting scratched. Also, it looks ugly.
