10:25AM EDT - Hello everybody this is Andrei live from OnePlus' launch event in London. The event starts in 30 minutes at 4PM local time.

10:26AM EDT - The venue is I think OnePlus' largest to date - I would guess well over a thousand seats here. This is a big launch for the company and we'll get to see some interesting new products.

10:28AM EDT - For the time being the Wi-Fi is holding strong - let's hope it remains the same during the presentation.

10:33AM EDT - I saw Cristiano Amon around the stage - we're expecting Qualcomm to talk about the new SoC in the OnePlus 7.

10:50AM EDT - 10 minutes to go!

11:00AM EDT - Event is starting.

11:01AM EDT - Pete Lau taking the stage.

11:03AM EDT - 2015 - First European event in Paris.

11:05AM EDT - A big thanks to Cristiano from Qualcomm.

11:07AM EDT - "The most important product we have ever made"

11:07AM EDT - OnePlus 7 Pro - closest to a perfect product ever made.

11:07AM EDT - A new benchmark for the industry.

11:08AM EDT - The good thing about OP is that Pete is coming from an engineering background - so you know the product is always focused first.

11:09AM EDT - Product and end-user - nothing else.

11:09AM EDT - Intro video with the new OnePlus 7 Pro.

11:10AM EDT - "Took us years to deliver a product as complete as the OP7Pro"

11:15AM EDT - Fantastic colour accuracy is reported - tested by DisplayMate as exceptional characteristics.

11:16AM EDT - "A huge step forward in defining smoothness" - 90Hz 1440p screen.

11:17AM EDT - It will be interesting how OnePlus implements this in hardware - 1440p60 is a hardware limitaiton of a single MIPI interface.

11:17AM EDT - OnePlus should have also improved touch latency with the new display.

11:17AM EDT - "The best display on the market"

11:25AM EDT - 111 points in DXOMark for the OP7Pro.

11:27AM EDT - Testmondials from a National Geographic photographer.

11:28AM EDT - These pictures seem a bit underwhelming - quite terrible noise reduction?

11:30AM EDT - The venue has quite the high resolution presentation screen - I hope the noise doesn't actually show up in actual captures.

11:31AM EDT - 16MP front camera.

11:31AM EDT - Pop-up camera. Tested up to 300000 times.

11:41AM EDT - Vendor with most OS updates next to Google.

11:53AM EDT - Powered by the X50 modem from Qualcomm

11:54AM EDT - The X50 doesn't support European mmWave bands - always interesting to see product launched nevertheless.

11:55AM EDT - In Europe most 5G deployment will be heavy usage of sub-6GHz bands. The US isn't as harmonised and oesn't have sufficient available spectrum in sub-6 for the first few years.

11:56AM EDT - Hence Verizon's first deployments are mmWave only.

11:59AM EDT - "We've challenged ourselves to keep the same design as the OP7Pro"

11:59AM EDT - "Space inside a smartphone is very limited"
