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.

Here’s another big reason why T-Mobile 5G dominates AT&T and Verizon
T-Mobile continues to command a massive lead in offering the best 5G experience among U.S. carriers. A few weeks ago, a report from Ookla revealed that T-Mobile is leaving its rivals in the dust; now Opensignal has confirmed that not only is the Un-carrier’s lead increasing in raw speeds, but it’s leading the way in taking 5G into the mainstream.
According to Opensignal’s latest 5G Experience Report, T-Mobile not only offers the fastest 5G experience in the U.S. by a sizeable margin but on average, customers on T-Mobile spend nearly 50% of their time on the carrier’s 5G network.

T-Mobile is leaving AT&T and Verizon in the 5G dust
Ookla has just published its latest market report revealing where U.S. mobile carriers and smartphone manufacturers stand in terms of providing the best 5G and 4G/LTE services.
Not surprisingly, T-Mobile remained in the top spot during the fourth quarter of 2022, eclipsing its rivals when it comes to median download speeds. What may be more surprising is that T-Mobile has increased its lead, clocking in at 151.37Mbps overall and 216.56Mbps for 5G, breaking the 200Mbps barrier for median 5G speeds across all bands for the first time.
