you may have made a good decision, this 7t pro McLaren 5g is getting terrible batt life and gets really hot

So it's not just me. I figured I had some things running I didn't with my 7 Pro that was eating up the battery. I went to bed with a full charge. Woke up to 68% ! And yes it does get hot fast. But I really do like it.

I'm going to be completely honest. I don't see hardly any difference between my OnePlus 7 Pro I traded in and this McLaren, but it's new and I'm probably not talking advantage of any new hardware and software. I'm satisfied otherwise and very happy with it.

I got mine yesterday, my first oneplus phone. The battery was not good to say the least and I even changed the resolution to 1080 but kept the 90hz on, can't turn that off. Put it on the charger last night and this morning I was only down one percent. Today I have been on the phone a lot more than I'm usually on the phone and as of right now I'm showing 53% with just over 4 hours of screen on time. The screen is the big draw that I'm having on the battery but it seems to be doing ok today. I purchased the phone because I liked what it had to offer other than 5G because 5G isn't in my area yet. I know I could have gotten one of the cheaper oneplus models but what fun is that. If price was a concern then I could see that being the case but when your paying this much for a phone, I hope that price isn't a concern.

I'm having a lot of problems with the fingerprint sensor. Never had a problem with the OnePlus 7 Pro. This one isn't even working half the time. I think it might be the screen protector I got from T-Mobile

Same here! Cool phone but battery drain overnight is terrible.

Yeah I would say that's the issue as mine doesn't have any issues without a screen protector.

I'm sure that's it because I didn't get a screen protector until Sunday and the fingerprint scanner worked perfectly until yesterday. I got the screen protector from T-Mobile, same one I had on the 7 Pro. I don't know why it's doing this, I'll have to call T-Mobile or message OnePlus and see what can be done.

Got mine yesterday. 14 apps that moved over don't run. Galaxy watch has limited capabilities. Other than that it's a great phone. Love seeing the 5G in the bar!

I got my McLaren 5G late yesterday afternoon. Setting it up today. What apps don't run? Not concerned about Galaxy watch, my smartwatch is Google Wear OS. Maybe it's an Android 10 thing and developers are still catching-up / tweaking for the OS update?

It will be interesting for me to see how well 5G works in my house. I'm in an area where LTE in my house sucks. Generally not a problem because I'm on wi-fi.

It always take some time to get glad battery little ours just my second day with the phone I had about 8 hours so far been unplugged since 1:30 am. I have another 7 hours.bot the da to take about a week to brake in.

Knowing this phone will be functionally second rate as soon as the S11 or 8Pro appear withe 865 chip, it still has some attraction. More so at $750 or $800 than $900.

Still, if you have to buy now, it is worth considering as both of hte above phones will have selfie camera holes.

Is the 7T Pro 5G McLaren water resistance to any degree?
