OnePlus Launches New Smartphones in the UAE
OnePlus has launched the new OnePlus 7T Pro and OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren Edition. “The new flagship smartphones we unveiled today showcase OnePlus’s constant pursuit of excellent user experience,” said Pete Lau, CEO, and Founder of OnePlus. “The OnePlus 7T Pro combines the latest innovations with our signature features such as 90 Hz Fluid Display and triple camera setup for the next level in a fast and smooth experience. We’ve also teamed up again with McLaren to challenge the standards for a premium smartphone.”
OnePlus 7T Pro
The OnePlus 7T Pro runs on OxygenOS 10.0 software to deliver a fast and smooth experience like never before. OnePlus also pioneered the 90 Hz Fluid Display and it returns on the OnePlus 7T Pro, with an edge-to-edge display for seamless viewing. Whether you’re browsing the web or scrolling through photos, every touch is smoother and more seamless in ultra-responsive 90 Hz.
With QHD+ resolution, The OnePlus 7T Pro’s spacious display is also incredibly clear with an impressive 3120×1440 resolution for 516 pixels per inch. A layer of gently-curved glass extends from edge-to-edge, providing a first-class look and feel for an immersive viewing experience.
A powerful triple camera system on OnePlus 7T Pro creates the experience of an all-in-one photography studio. Our signature camera software, UltraShot, has been tuned to capture dramatic sunsets and breathtaking mountains, with striking backlit portraits, exceptional low-light performance, and more.
OnePlus has added a new Macro mode so you can share intricate beauty. And effortlessly record clearer, smoother videos with OnePlus 7T Pro’s advanced hybrid image stabilization system combining OIS and EIS technologies.
A new OnePlus flagship smartphone would not be complete without updates to performance and charging. Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 Plus, a new flagship mobile benchmark boasting 15% faster graphics rendering and faster processing speeds, and paired with lightning-fast UFS 3.0 storage, the OnePlus 7T Pro brings the fast and smooth experience to the next level.
OnePlus’s latest fast charge technology Warp Charge 30T is also brought to new OnePlus 7T Pro. Results include 23% faster charge speed than Warp Charge 30 and capable of a ~68% charge in just 30 minutes. Moreover, it’s able to keep the phone body cool when charge at full speed, even while gaming.
OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren Edition
The OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren Edition draws inspiration from signature McLaren design and celebrates the brand’s relentless pursuit of excellence and innovation. “We’re very happy to be able to work with McLaren again and use the iconic brand as inspiration for this incredible piece of engineering,” said Lau. “This limited-edition device celebrates both brands’ relentless pursuit of excellence, bringing users the very best in smartphone experience.”
“Following last year’s successful ‘Salute to Speed’ launch we’re excited to once again be launching a limited-edition McLaren device with our partner OnePlus. We are two challenger brands whose restless pursuit of innovation reaches its pinnacle with the new OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren Edition. The OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren Edition celebrates our brands’ shared passion for design, craftsmanship, and innovation and we look forward to seeing how this is received by technology enthusiasts and McLaren fans worldwide,” said Mike Flewitt, Chief Executive Officer, McLaren Automotive.

Canon Intros SELPHY QX20 Portable Colour Photo Printer
Canon Middle East unveils the latest addition to its portable printer range with the launch of the SELPHY QX20, an exciting evolution to the previous QX10, enabling users to continue broadening their creative horizons with greater freedom. Leaning into popular social media formats, this upgrade now supports 2:3 as well as square paper sizes and is available in on-trend terracotta red, dark grey and classic white.
The new QX20 is a must-have gadget for those with a passion for creativity. Whether that be making visual notes for personal projects, decorating journals or scrapbooks using sticky-backed paper, crafting personalised notes for loved ones, or simply decorating wall spaces, SELPHY QX20 delivers high-quality, long-lasting pictures straight from a smartphone. The flexibility in paper sizes lends itself nicely to 365 photo challenges, inviting users to print one photo a day as a wonderfully tangible way to remember smaller daily moments.
Without the need for ink cartridges, the SELPHY QX20 uses dye sublimation technology that produces smudge-free, high-quality photos. An overcoat is added to resist the effect of fading. Easily transportable and complete with a built-in battery and Wi-Fi compatibility, the printer fits comfortably in a bag, meaning it can be used on-the-go to transform memories into physical keepsakes on the spot. At home, its compact size means it can sit neatly on any shelf or desk without competing for tabletop space.
Beyond the choice of paper size, wider creative expression is available with the SELPHY Photo Layout App, where fun artistic touches like stamps, filters, borders, and text can be added to special memories. For example, snowflakes can be added to a selfie to use as a Christmas table place card or hearts when making a homemade Valentine’s Day gift. The update also includes collages, frames and customisable borders, with new edge-to-edge printing meaning more of the memory can be seen with each print.
Joining an expanding portfolio of portable mobile printers, including the CP1500, a super compact photo printer for the desk, and the Zoemini range, a series of pocket-sized devices to print instant peel-and-stick photos, the latest QX20 fits perfectly into this line-up – a functional yet stylish printer and the ideal product for unleashing creativity, anytime, anywhere.
