After several rumours and reports on the OnePlus 7, the company’s CEO has finally dropped a teaser of the upcoming flagship. OnePlus CEO Pete Lau released the first official teaser of the OnePlus 7 which he claims is ‘Fast and Smooth’.

OnePlus fans became curious after Lau wrote on Twitter about the 'upcoming new device’. The next day, he put up a five-second teaser video of the upcoming flagship which does not reveal much information.

 The video has a mostly dark background with some light shone on the device. With the teaser video, Lau also posted that the OnePlus device will ‘unleash a new era of Fast and Smooth’.

By the looks of it, Lau’s hint leads to previous rumours of the curved screen on the OnePlus 7 Pro, which would have an edge-to-edge display. 

Lau and OnePlus have been tight-lipped on the features of the OnePlus 7 and the rumoured Pro model. However, a tipster has leaked more details of the OnePlus 7 Pro.

According to Ishan Agarwal, the OnePlus 7 Pro will sport a QHD+ Super AMOLED display with a 90 Hz refresh rate.  Till date, OnePlus has been offering 1080p displays on its devices, and a spec bump on the Pro model is a significant upgrade. Add to it the 90 Hz refresh rate which is currently second to the Razer phone.
