The lights have dimmed, the music has mellowed down, and as the chaos that engulfed the last couple of months slowly smokes away, the two showstoppe­rs take centre stage. Showcasing the flavour of the season in their own unique styles, have entered the building. Put your hands together for the reigning triple camera queens:

ONEPLUS 7T — MINIMALIST, YET CLASSY

The difference between a classy ensemble and a loud one lies in its simplicity, choice of colours, and the general fit. For a smartphone, this translates to minimalist design, subtle but attractive colours and performanc­e that puts competitor­s to shame. The much awaited festive release from OnePlus — the 7T seems to have gotten it right. Cashing in on the season’s obsession with camera specs, the 7T comes with a triple back camera that includes a 48 MP primary, an ultra-wide and a telephoto camera, all of which is tastefully placed in a large halo ring right above the OnePlus logo. With smooth edges and an all-around metal hand-feel, the device claims to come with a screen that is 38 per cent more responsive than its predecesso­rs. With HDR 10+ and optimised modes for video stabilisat­ion, the 7T is powered by the Snapdragon 855 Plus processor.

The 6.55 inches device comes with a 90 Hz screen refresh rate, a special chromatic reading mode as well as an optimised gaming mode that leverages its Haptik vibration motor and stereo speakers. For `37,999 (8 GB + 128 GB) and `39,999 (8 GB + 256 GB), the 7T is the best showstoppe­r of the season. However, you might also want to check out the OnePlus 7T Pro, if you are looking for an even better gaming experience, a more immersive screen and a more subtle camera module design. The 7T Pro starts at `53,999.
