The snappily named OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McClaren Edition will use T-Mobile’s 600 MHZ 5G network, which T-Mobile claims is ahead of schedule and well on course to becoming the first company to offer nationwide 5G coverage in the U.S.

The OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McClaren Edition is packed to the brim with the latest in flagship phone technology, including the super-fast Snapdragon 855 Plus processor, 12GM of RAM, and an enormous 4,095mAh battery. As befits the branding, the phone’s specialty is speed — specifically, charging speed. OnePlus claims the bundled Warp Charge 30W power brick is capable of recharging up to 70% of the battery in as little as 30 minutes.

Further fitting the McClaren brand, the OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McClaren Edition is also a beautiful phone. A glossy black back panel gives way to an intricate and unique finish beneath the glass. Digital Trends’ Andy Boxall likened it to tree bark or a tribal tattoo in our review, and it’s quite the stunning finish. Finally, the phone also comes with a special case that combines Alcantara with carbon fiber for the ultimate in luxury protection.
The OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McClaren Edition joins the OnePlus 7 Pro 5G in OnePlus’ burgeoning roster of 5G phones, and it’s likely that this special edition will remain the only entry in the new 7T range to embrace the 5G revolution. There’s been no word of a OnePlus 7T Pro or OnePlus 7T with a 5G connection, so it seems the McClaren Edition will be the last OnePlus phone released this year to access the next generation of mobile network.
There’s no confirmation yet on a release date or price for the OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McClaren Edition, but don’t expect it to be a cheap way to access 5G. The regular OnePlus 7T Pro McClaren Edition starts from 800 British pounds in the U.K. (roughly $1,030), and we would expect the 5G version of that phone to be even more expensive. It will also only be available on a limited basis. We’ll update once we have details on both.
T-Mobile’s 5G is still unmatched — but have speeds plateaued?
Each time a new analysis of mobile network performance gets published, it’s almost a given that we’ll see T-Mobile leading the pack in terms of delivering the fastest 5G speeds. After all, the “Un-carrier” had a massive lead in deploying its 5G networks — and it hasn’t been resting on its laurels.
However, its competitors haven’t been sitting still either. While Verizon may have been starting from behind, it’s been aggressively deploying the faster 5G spectrum that gave it a nice leap in 5G performance last year. Still, Verizon and AT&T are lagging quite a bit in overall mobile network performance, and AT&T has fallen even farther behind when it comes to delivering the best 5G speeds across the nation.
Moto G Power 5G adds a flagship feature to a budget phone
Motorola may be making a play for the flagship market with the Motorola Edge 40 Pro, but budget phones are what the American monolith is best known for. While it won't be making as many waves as the latest Samsung phone or Apple iPhone launch, the newest iteration of the Moto G is always something worth paying attention to, as Motorola is a true veteran of the space and knows what makes an excellent cheap device.
Best of all, this new Moto G comes at a time when budget phone enthusiasts have never had it so good. Previously premium features are filtering down into lower-priced devices, without altering that sweet low price or the features everyone loves. That's exactly what's happening with the new Motorola Moto G Power 5G, which includes a 50-megapixel main camera lens, a larger amount of storage, and a big screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. With the big 5,000mAh battery the G Power range is known for, this could be the $300 phone to grab if you love a budget bargain.
